"Hello watchers, welcome to E! News!" The woman starts as soon the camera went live.
"I am here with the lovely Icy! How are you doing?"
"I'm doing just fine," Sapphire nods and smiles.
"So, I'm guessing you already know why you are here!"
"Is it something to do with my new music video?"
"Aren't you the guesser!" She starts laughing like a robotic hyena.
Sapphire simply chuckles.
"So, tell me, Icy! What is the whole premise of the music video?"
"It's just a song about breaking up and how a couple is slowly growing apart," Sapphire tried to keep it simple as possible, "There was no hidden meanings or messages behind it at all."
"Everyone is speculating about it! Everyone definitely knew it was your boo, Ruby Harris, from the Delmarva Fusions! How was it, to work with her on the set?"
Sapphire was taken aback by the question, but answers it, "It was surprisingly fun. I didn't want her to, because the day of the shoot was right after the Finals. She was cooperative, though."
"Speaking of her, there's a rumor going around that claim you two broke up a few days prior."
"Not true at all," Sapphire straightens her back on the couch, "We're actually engaged now."
"I'm open, Rubes!" Jasper was waving her arms around.
Ruby was being blocked by Amethyst and Peridot was busy covering Ruby's back.
Ruby bounced the ball from side-to-side, running from one side to the other, making Amethyst continuously try to grab the ball. She falls over to one side, making Ruby able to pass the ball.
Jasper then SLAMS THAT HOE WITH THE FORCE OF A COURSING RIVER.
"Don't you ankle break me, Ruby!" Amethyst says as she was hysterically laughing.
"Listen you purple food processor, I'm in professional basketball, hello!" Ruby was starting to match her laughter.
"Damn, you right!"
Jasper passes the ball to Amethyst, "Your turn, ya fuck."
"Best two outta three, you condom-wearing bitch!"
"WAIT, WHAT?!" Ruby yelled out so fuCKING loudly, it made birds fly away.
"Wow, that's such an amazing story!" The host-woman awes. "That's such a beautiful ring too!"
"Thank you so much, I'm so glad that I'm able to say this and get it out there. Ruby and I just need some time away."
"Where to?!"
"We were thinking United Kingdom, but we just aren't sure yet."
"England! That's a fabulous country to go to and experience! You've been there before?"
"For a tour, but not personally."
"That's fantastic! Thank you so much, Icy, for coming onto the show!"
"It was a pleasure to be here."
"Thank you all for watching! Follow us on Twitter, Snapchat, Facebook, and Instagram for more!"
"CUT!" The director yells out.
Sapphire sighs, rubbing her temple from the fakeness of the whole ordeal.
"That's a great story about how she lead up to it." She didn't sound so convinced of Sapphire.
"It's not a story. It's a memory."
"Great, I'm gonna go and eat at the snack bar, come with?"
"No, thank you."
Sapphire was left on the set. She grabs her phone from her dress pocket and sends a text to Sapphire.
No one is believing anything.
"Time out time out!" Ruby calls out while making a "T" with her hands.
She grabs her phone from her pocket.
She sucks on her teeth, but replies:
Fuck them then.
"What is it, Rubes?" Amethyst bounced the ball a couple times.
"Sapphire just finished her interview and by the looks of it, no one believes it for a second."
"Fuck, man, what are you gonna do?"
"Live with it, I guess. I don't know what to do with all this media and TV shit. Anyways, TIME IN!"
Sapphire was lying down in her limo. She was exhausted from her manager and going live multiple times.
"Are you okay, Ms. Icy?" Her driver asked in a raised voice.
"I'm fine. I'm just beat."
Sapphire tossed and turned in the leather seats.
Fuck, this is uncomfortable...
She lies her arm over her bangs, trying to find a comforting spot.
Suddenly, her phone vibrates.
She grabs it and it was her manager. She tosses it onto the ground, not really having it today.
It was a rather long drive, leaving at rush hour, so it kept ringing...
and ringing...
and ringing...
and FUCKING RINGING MORE...
She grabs it again and answers it without looking at the ID.
"LISTEN, I HAVE ENOUGH OF THIS FOR TODAY, CAN YOU PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE?!" She was hyperventilating and had steam coming out of her ears.
"I can, if you want. I'll call up a motel right away."
It was fucking Ruby. Damn it.
"Shit, Ruby, I'm sorry! I'm just... SO... TIRED!"
"I understand, but I can still do the motel thing."
"No, please, I would prefer to be around you..."
"I don't know anymore."
Sapphire was lying down on the couch, head resting on Ruby's lap as she combed her fingers through the soft blue hair.
"I mean, they'll believe eventually." Ruby smiled gently. "I really do think we should go to England."
"Why is that?"
"Well, for the experience. Together. Who knows, maybe we'll find something great there."
"Let me ride my new album until they don't play it over and over on the radio... We should invite them back."
"It would be nice. I can call them and have them come over again. And hopefully Lapis isn't too busy with Olympics training and Pearl isn't getting ready for another play."
"We should go sometime."
"It would be fun, but Amethyst can't even go to her shows. We should bring her."
It was nearing midnight when the group was able to come over again.
"Y'all, we should play something together," Amethyst was sitting up against Pearl on the couch.
"What do you have in mind?" Rose clasped her hands together.
"Some like, truth or dare ass shit."
"What are we? Fifteen?" Ruby scoffed.
"Never have I ever?"
"I guess..." Ruby sighed, "Okay everyone, ten fingers up."
Everyone held their hands up, even Lapis, who was rather nonchalant.
"I'll start," Amethyst cleared her throat. "Never have I ever been a bitch named Jasper."
Jasper stared at her hands, "I feel like that's directed to me-
"Oh, Jasper's out."
"Bitch."
"Alright, well," Pearl sat up straighter, "My turn..."
"Excuse me, bae, " Amethyst interrupted, "As tradition with us, it has to be sexual."
"Alright, um..." Pearl bit at her lip. "Never have I ever lied to my peers about my sexual experiences."
Rose was the only one that put a finger down.
"Was that when you were pregnant?"
"The one and only time."
Amethyst interrupts, "Some of you guys need to put a finger down. You never talk shit about ever having one!"
Peridot and Lapis followed.
"Thank you."
"My turn, I guess," Lapis said in monotone, "Never have I ever taken nude photos."
Everyone, but Peridot and Lapis herself (exception of Jasper, who was out at the start), put a finger down.
"Pearl I'm shocked."
"I'm dating Amethyst! There's a lot that comes with it..." Pearl tried to find an excuse.
"Right... Anyway, Rose, your turn."
"I have a good one! Never have I ever had sex at school!"
Amethyst and Pearl were the only ones.
"Ruby! I expected more from you!" Jasper exclaimed.
"Sapphy and I like to be simple, okay?!" Ruby revealed.
"Seven years and nothing..."
The game went on until they all ran out of questions to ask.
"That was fun! I'm ready to drink!" Rose stands up from the couch.
"Right behind ya!" Jasper agreed. "I'm ready for some shots up in this bitch!"
Everyone else followed as Ruby and Sapphire stayed behind on the couch.
The couple laughed together, but stand up too to get the booze out.
"Simple, huh?" Sapphire smirked.
"Hey! You know that that word is the only one that matches."
"It is, but you could've made it more exciting sounding."
Ruby chuckled, "Yeah... But, I am the one and only person in the world that knows just how exciting it really is."
"That's right," Sapphire kisses Ruby's cheek and goes to the kitchen.
Ruby smiled, sighing contently.
"YOU LOST, HUGH JAS!" Ruby yelled across the table.
The group of friends were playing a game of poker, losers drinking every time they lost money.
Jasper was winning the majority and everyone was a little buzzed. She had finally lost, but doesn't want to lose all the poker chips she had.
Jasper slammed her hands on the table, "You're fucking drunk you little-
"HEY WATCH IT GIRLIE I SWEAR ILL KNOCK YOU LIKE A DOOR!"
"TRY ME!"
Amethyst and Rose held Jasper back as Sapphire held Ruby down on the chair.
"Don't get too hasty now!" Rose exclaimed.
Jasper sat down with a thud, but she grabs hers, Amethyst's, and Rose's full shot glasses of whiskey and downs three one-by-one.
Jasper's face scrunched up and she rapidly shook her head, "I won't lose this time!"
Lapis and Peridot were the dealers, so they'll be the only ones sober by the end.
"I fffffffucking swon ze pinals, fitch!" Ruby slammed her fist on the table.
Amethyst was lying on the table, passed out with her arms and hair sprawled out.
Pearl and Rose were cuddling with each other and talking gibberish with each other, Sapphire was giggling uncontrollably, Ruby was talking bullshit, and Jasper was on the couch naked as fuck.
"That's enough for one night, I guess." Lapis shrugged her shoulders.
"It's 4 AM!" Peridot said as she waved her arms around.
"Yup. I'm gonna find a bed to sleep in. Night."
Lapis left, leaving Peridot with drunk individuals.
"Fuck." Peridot simply said.
A/N: Yo, I'm rewriting Keystone County in my free time, holy crap. I will finish other stories, of course, but you know, it deserves to be remade, at least.
Review and shit!
