It was in the middle of the day when the warp had started glowing brightly. Within a few seconds, Jewel and Peridot appeared as the light faded. They walked back to the barn which was a small walk away from the warp pad. They had just finished another mission and it was a complete success against the Eye Cyclops inside of an old gem lab.
"It was the greatest thing! You poked it's eye right out with your sword!" Peridot said excitedly as she made a swinging motion with an invisible sword.
Jewel giggled and blushed.
"I guess it was pretty cool."
"It was! You're so awesome and it's always fun to watch you battle. You get so into it."
Jewel's cheeks were bright with excitement and slight embarrassment. Peridot was always telling her how great she was and it made her feel good.
"You were pretty good yourself, Peridot. You just waved your hand and that chandelier came crashing down with the final blow on that corrupted gem."
Peridot's face turned a darker shade of green. Jewel took her her much shorter girlfriend's hand as they made it closer to the barn.
"You know... we have the rest of the day off," Jewel said with a smile.
"Yea. We hardly get to come home anymore. We've been so busy with everything lately."
"Well... do you want to do something?" the silver pearl asked with a hopeful smile on her face.
"You know... I've been wanting to try a different kind of food. Do we have the stuff called mac and cheese?"
Jewel scratched her head, "You know... I think Amethyst had brought some over for us once. We would have to look."
She smiled at Peridot who beamed back happily.
Once they got into the barn, they headed for the fridge and started digging through it. They had all kinds of stuff and since they didn't really need to eat, it lasted a lot longer. Peridot managed to find it and handed it to Jewel. She kissed Peridot's cheek and went straight to their small stove to make it.
Peridot sat at the table they had which had four different chairs at it but they looked like they were a matching set since everything was colored so brightly.
I wonder what we should do. Mom said to chill out for the rest of the day... I think I might have an idea... I'll ask her after we finish eating.
Peridot pulled up a stool and climbed up to watch Jewel stir the noddles while it boiled.
"I like spending time with you," Peridot said softly, "Just the two of us."
Jewel smiled and nodded while she made sure the food wouldn't boil over.
"I enjoy our alone time too."

Within ten minutes the mac and cheese was done. Peridot flopped down onto the couch and Jewel sat beside of her. The bowl of food was giving off steam. Peridot put her fork into it and lifted it to her mouth. It was so cheesy and warm. Jewel watched as her girlfriend shoved the food in her mouth without stopping for more than a few seconds.
"Are you hungry?" Jewel asked as she giggled.
"It's so good! We should have this more often!"
Jewel smiled and came to the last bit of her food as well.
"Would... Would you like to go somewhere after this? Like a date?" Jewel asked.
Peridot put her bowl to the side.
"I would. That sounds like fun!"
Jewel smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Where will we be going?" Peridot asked.
"A place you will like. I promise," she answered as she leaned in to kiss her girlfriend's green cheek.
"Alright," she said.
Peridot waited as Jewel finished off her food.

The couple had been walking for a short while and they were getting close to their destination. Peridot could see a large building in the distance and gave her tall girlfriend a questioning look but she stayed quiet. She wanted to be surprised. Peridot noticed it had an image of a device on the front of it making her more curious.
"Yes?" Jewel asked looking down at her with a smile.
"Well... What is that? What is this place?" Peridot asked.
Jewel gave her hand a gentle squeeze.
"You'll see," she said as they walked closer to the doors.

Jewel and Peridot were at the counter. Jewel handed over some money and they received two black and yellow cards. Peridot kept looking around wondering where they were at and she honestly couldn't figure it out. Jewel took her hand and pulled her into the next room. It was hard to see through the glass doors since they were tinted.
They made their ways through the glass doors. The next room was dark with blue lights giving some spots of the room a weird glow to them. It looked like there was multiple other rooms but the one they were in was the biggest. There were four seat in the center of the room.
The seats looked somewhat similar to a roller coaster. Each one had a controller with a rectangular device with them. Peridot looked at Jewel with questioning eyes because the placed looked to weird. Jewel smiled and placed her small girlfriend in and then sat beside of her.
"You have to tell me where we are because I have no idea. I have never seen this place before."
Jewel giggled, "This is the Virtual Reality Arcade."
"I know what an arcade is but what is 'virtual reality'?"
"I'll show you."
Jewel handed Peridot the strange device and it turned out to be a headset with surround sound and lens.
"Why can't I see anything? Is this so I can't see the surprise?"
"Don't worry. It's supposed to do that. The game hasn't started yet," she said softly as she scooted closer to her.
"Oh... Ok."
Jewel took her girlfriend's hand and gave it a gentle squeeze to let her know she was there. Out of no where, there was a blinking light. It was coming from the controller.
"How come I can see that?" Peridot asked.
"That's your controller. Go ahead and pick it up."
"Alright."
Peridot did as she was instructed.
"This game is Jurassic World VR Expedition Fallen Kingdom."
"Oh... Why is the chair making weird noises and movement."
"It makes it feel like we are really in the game."
Within ten minutes, Peridot was laughing and gasping in surprise. She was enjoying the game a lot. It was one of the most amazing things she had ever got to do and Homeworld had nothing like this or anything similar to it. It finished in about forty five minutes and they took their devices off. Jewel looked at Peridot to see stars in her eyes.
"Wow! That was so amazing!" Peridot said.
"It was! You did really well for your first time too! You had one of the top three scores on that game!" Jewel said with an excited grin on her face.
For a few hours they played other VR games and they eventually earned enough points to get something from the prize counter. They walked out of the building into the cool evening air. The sun was almost gone and the stars were showing some already. Peridot leaned in and hugged Jewel tightly.
"That was the best date ever," she said, "I never had so much fun before."
"What was your favorite part?"
"The best was it felt so real but it wasn't. It's amazing what people can create. Dinosaurs are definitely interesting."
They started walking home when Peridot pulled on Jewel's arm.
"Yea?"
"When we get home... I have something we can do."
Peridot was blushing.
"I can't wait to see what you have in mind."
Once they made it back to the barn, they headed up to their room. They put all their prizes on display.
"What idea did you have in mind?" Jewel asked smiling down at Peridot.
Peridot jumped up grabbing her girlfriend's face and kissed her. Jewel smiled shyly as Peridot pulled her over to their bed. They climbed into the middle of the bed. They began kissing slowly and removing each others' tops before making it to the rest of their clothing.
They were naked in each others' embrace, grinding softly. Peridot took one of Jewel's breasts into her mouth making her moan unexpectedly loud. Peridot made her way down to Jewel's sensitive, hot area between her legs with hot kisses.
"Peridot," she breathed out heavily.
"I love you," Peridot said.
Without another word, Jewel surrendered to the pleasure Peridot gave her. She cried out pulling on Peridot's hair softly. She shivered and arched her back as she orgasmed thrusting her hips at Peridot's mouth. Jewel collapsed back against the pillows and smiled at her girlfriend.
Jewel took a minute to calm down before she turned towards Peridot. Her fingers slid down Peridot's small body until they made their way to her parted legs. Peridot moaned loudly as she worked her fingers slowly in and out. Jewel watched as her girlfriend's face heated up with color as she orgasmed within a few minutes.
Peridot let go of Jewel and laid back smiling at her with a dazed expression on her face.
"I had such a fun night," Peridot said breathlessly.
Jewel smiled and brushed some loose strands of hair from her face.
"I did too. I love you, Peridot."
"I love you," she answered back and she closed her eyes.
Jewel grabbed the sheet and cuddled up next to Peridot. Peridot was already asleep making her smile.
