(Beach summer fun buddies: Take two)

Steven P.O.V.

Lapis closes the door and mumbles something to Connie. Connies face holds a look of disgust before she storms off. I turn to see Lapis sitting on a bar stool in the kitchen. I slowly walk over to her careful to keep my distance in case something unexpected happens again.

"Steven" she says sensing my presence moving towards her. I stop frozen on the spot and reply "Uhhh... Y-Yea?" I stammer, shakiness in my voice.

"You know what never mind you have probably been through too much this morning" she says with sadness in her voice. I move in front of her and say "No what is it".

She hesitates but slowly replies "Could we... Could we be beach summer fun buddies again?" She lifts her head up to meet my eyes. Her big blue eyes stare into my sole…. How could I say no to her.

"Of course we can I have to get changed first though" I say. After I return from the bathroom I find Lapis in clothes different to what she always wears. Ocean blue cut-offs and her same top but altered to have a full star instead of half a diamond.

"Do you like it?" she asked twirling making the ribbons of her halter crop top follow in toe. Light shone through the window to complement her. 'She's... breathtaking' I stepped towards her and bowed "May I have this dance milady?" I said as I outstretched my hand.

I looked up to meet her eyes. I stare into her big blue eyes. They always seemed to reflect the ocean. She slowly placed her hand in mine and we dance around the beach house. Each of our moves in sync with each others. A warmth radiates from Lapis and I then a glow then we stopped.

"Steven we just..."

"Fused"

"No I can't be like this again fusion is horrible I-"

"Lapis calm down I'm here I didn't mean for this to happen but you can trust me and obviously you trust me enough to let your guard down while we danced and fuse."

"Your right. What do we even look like?" I (we) walked into the bathroom to the mirror. I (we) are dressed in colours from blue to purple. We are wearing shorts that were blue with a white star under each front pocket. We also have a t-shirt on that has a tear drop shape at the back for Lapis's gem. The back of the t-shirt is tied with a dark blue ribbon. The t-shirt had an array of blues and purples. We have a dark purple pixie cut.

"We formed Lazurite" said Lapis
