The Crystal Temps warped into the Crystal Temple. "Lazuli, why would you think adding water to a blood polyp would make it weaker, clod?!" Peridot cried. "You've got it's guts all over Connie!"
The "guts" Peridot was speaking of were juices from the monster. Connie looks disgusted for a moment. "I do need a shower…" She tried to walk to her room but the gunk suddenly hardened and kept her in place. The Crystal
Temps didn't notice though, too busy fighting.
"How would I know it would get bigger?!" Lapis cried.
"You always are to extreme with your powers, clod!" Peridot snarled. "You got us in danger!"
Lapis used her powers to get water from her gem and hit Peridot with it. She stuck her tongue out. Despite her always seeming motherly to Connie, she was rather childish to the others. "LAPIS! You're such a-"
"Let me guess, clod." Lapis growled.
"Jasper, help me out here!" Peridot cried. Jasper shrugged, "I think she's fine."
"JASPER!" Peridot yelled.
"Ugh, Lapis, you can be a little over the top sometimes…" Jasper bit her lip.
Lapis looked hurt. "Fine." She left through the temple door.
"Hopefully she'll take that to heart now!" Peridot sighed. Jasper groaned. Connie watched them leave, still stuck in place. "Guys?"
At night, Connie had fallen asleep in the goop but a sudden light awoke her. She was hidden in the shadows but a hooded figure ran lightly out the door. Connie caught a glimpse of bare blue feet and realized it was Lapis. Connie fell overand the
shell broke, freeing the girl. She raced after Lapis.
Connie crawled to the window of the place Lapis had run to and saw the woman take off her cloak on a stage. Lapis hadn't changed her appearance by much, she was taller, and not as thin, her hair was put up and wore a even more flowing dressthen
her usual, and it was completely black.
Mr. Frowny held a microphone and didn't seem excited at all. "For those who didn't get it already, you are about to see the Water Witch, the most hated dancer in the Beach City Underground's… history." He sighed. The crowd booedand Connie was amazed.
Lapis egged on the crowd with a small smirk. "Rember, whoever is cheered for the most and is the best at dancing by my judge as well… wins. The Water Witch is undefeated."
"... Let's introduce her opponent, The Loch Ness Bloggster."
Lapis's smirk turned upon Ronaldo, who was in a costume.
"I'm, uh, going to end your reign of terror!" He cried. He started doing a strange shimmie and The Water Witch laughed. She leapt high in the air, so high, most couldn't believe it, and twirled in the air. She landed quietly andgave a curtsy to
her shocked audience.
"Well, now, now that was quick." Mr. Frowney said. The crowd booed.
The Water Witch stepped over a sweating Ronaldo feeling powerful.
The Water Witch chuckled in victory and turned back into Lapis.
"Lapis!" Connie cried, landing on top off her.
The woman gasped and her wing flung Connie off. She turned and saw her. "Connie? Oh, I'm sorry-"
"Lapis, are you a secret dancer?"
"Oh… Well… You see…" Lapis sighed in defeat. "Yes."
Connie gasped and leapt up. "But how?! When?! Why?!"
"Come here. Let me explain something to you." Lapis whispered. Connie trotted up and Lapis put her arm around her. "On the stage, nobody can tell me what to do! And if they try, I GRACEFULLY DESTROY THEM!" Lapis cried.
"And… people like that?"
""Like it"? They LOVE it!" Lapis laughed. "Well, they hate it, but it's all part of the fun, you know?" The gem gave a sigh. "E-everyone here, gets that."
Connie grabbed her hand. Lapis looked at it. "You don't know what it's like having Peridot on your back all the time!"
"Are you kidding me?!" Connie laughed. She started to impersonate Peridot, "Connie, you cannot touch my stuff without my permission!"
Lapis laughed. "And Jasper doesn't even care about what I do! Isn't that great?"
"Yeah…. Can I be a dancer with you?" Connie asked sweetly.
Lapis thought about it. "Well, I haven't won the tag team belt yet…. But you can't tell Peri or Jasper!"
"Deal!"
Connie happily put on her leggings and and sparkly tank top. She tied her hair up into a bun and put on a wizard hat. "Introducing Enchantress Millionaire! Rich witch from the wizard world, once the single child of the wealthy Millionaire
Family, she cast out her own destiny making money in the Magic business."
"You just came up with that?" Lapis gasped.
"Yeah! What's your backstory?"
"Witches are awesome."
"Two local heroes in the ring tonight, they build hospitals for the sick, and they build muscles that look it up for... Concrete Heat and Chunk Truck…"
The two builders were ready two dance.
"Facing off against the Water Witch and our new competitor…. Enchantress Millionaire." The crowd booed.
"This little girl's gonna get creamed!" Sadie said in the crowd.
"From here," Lars replied, "she kinda looks like Connie."
"Yeah, right." Sadie chuckled.
Connie was about to walk on stage when Lapis blocked her. "Connie, wait! I'll do all the actual dancing, I don't want you to get hurt."
"Do I still get to wear the costume?"
"Sure." Lapis shrugged.
Lapis and Connie walked on stage and faced their opponents. Lapis took a giant leap and landed in front of Chunk Trunk. She started to twirl, faster than the man could when Connie spotted Concrete Heat sneaking up on Lapis.
"Water Witch! Water Witch, look out!" Connie cried.
Concrete Heat threw safety tape at Lapis and it caught her foot. She fell over and grunted in pain.
"That's not fair!" Connie cried.
"Everything's fair here." Mr. Frowney sighed.
"It is?"
"Yes…"
"Fine." Connie whispered. "Hey Chunk Truck!" The girl yelled, getting the man's attention. "I'll give you a million wizard bucks to throw the match!"
"Enchantress Millionaire is offering a bribe." Mr. Frowney sighed.
The man walked up and Connie pulled out her brief case. Connie leapt onto the stage and twirled with her briefcase into a spin attack, hitting the man repeatedly.
"Oh snap! Did you see that?" Sadie cried, swiping away Lars popcorn.
"Way to go, Enchantress!" Lapis laughed. Connie blushed.
As the two won more and more matches, Peridot and Jasper started to notice Connie's props. Sadie even caught Connie's tie that she threw out to the fans.
"It's very hot tonight. Enchantress Millionaire has bought out our soda stand. Maybe she'll share with her thirsty fans…" Connie dropped all the sodas on the floor. "Now there's no sodas for anybody…" Connie started jumpingin the puddle. "This is…
sad."
"Classic Enchantress!" Sadie laughed. She got up and ran to Connie. "Enchantress! Can you sign this for me?!" Connie looked at her soda cup. The girl smirked. "You couldn't AFFORD it!" She slapped the drink to
the ground.
Connie saw Sadie's hurt face and her smile faded.
"I thought we were just having fun!" Connie cried.
"Enchantress Millionaire, you are the cruelest creature on the planet!" Mr. Frowney sobbed, showing some emotion.
Connie heard the booing and felt awful…
The girl held her hat in her hands and sighed.
Lapis flew up to Connie's room. "Connie! You ready for our final dance off?"
"Lapis… Am I the cruelest creature on the planet?"
"Connie, those are just words that show how people feel about you."
Connie grew sadder.
"Listen, Connie you can't let anyone make you feel like garbage." Lapis growled.
"Is that… Is that how you feel?"
Lapis's face grew dark like the stormy ocean. "I only feel what I want to feel.."
"Fans of dancing, welcome to the tag team championship." Mr. Frowny said. "On the stage tonight... They stomped their way through the tournament and into our hearts… Dashing Danny Doober and Handsome Hank Hackleschmidt."
The crowd cheered. "Only one thing would make these men look better, it's the tag team belts." He said, gesturing to the belts hanging from a rope. "Standing in their way are the ruthless Queens of the wizard world, they'll eat your
kids and fire your parents. It can only be the Water Witchand Enchantress Millionaire." There was extreme booing from the crowd.
"Don't you dare out dance those beautiful men, you monsters!" A random person yelled.
"People really don't like Enchantress M." Lars whispered.
"She's awful because she hurt me specifically!" Sadie growled, holding up a sign that said, "ENCHANTRESS IS A JERK!"
Just as the dance was about to start, the lights came on. Lapis shielded her eyes. Peridot and Jasper leaped from the ceiling.
"W-what are you doing here?!" Lapis growled.
"What are we doing here?! What is this?!" Peridot yelled, showing a poster. Lapis glared at Connie but she shrugged. "I didn't make that! Someone else did!"
"We have new opponents I see…" Mr. Frowny said.
"No, wrong, clod! This competition is over!"
"What?! Why?" Connie cried.
"WHY?! I can't believe you've been sneaking off to this... this circus of violence!" Peridot growled.
"But dancing isn't violent-"
"I DON'T CARE! And you!" Peridot cried, pointing to Lapis. She whispered, "using your powers to show yourself off!"
"It's not enough that you're on my case all the time, you have to ruin this for me too?!" Lapis yelled.
"We aren't here to fight, or dance, or whatever you do for amusement!" Peridot snarled.
"Dance off! Dance off!" The crowd cheered.
"We don't know how to dance, clods!" Peridot yelled.
"Connie, Lapis," Jasper said.
"What?!" Lapis growled, her eyes burning with hatred.
"Go back to the temple, now." Jasper growled.
"NO! I'M NOT A CHILD!" Lapis yelled. She leapt to Jasper and kicked her leg up, kicking Jasper. Everyone gasped.
"Don't do this…." Jasper hissed.
Lapis didn't dance this time. The girl ran forward and slammed into Jasper, punching her. Jasper grabbed the girl by her wrist and threw her into a wall. Lapis ran back and didn't care if the humans saw her powers anymore. She flew up and
used her water to grab Jasper into a chokehold.
"Wait!" Connie sobbed.
Lapis smirked at the girl. Jasper growled to Lapis. "You've always been a little… BRAT!" Jasper grabbed the water and slammed Lapis hard into the wall. Lapis looked up at Jasper and her helmet appeared. Connie grabbed the microphone.
"WAIT! I want to tell you Water Witch's backstory." She turned to Peridot. "She was the wildest and craziest witch in the wizard world, so wild, the other witches couldn't take it. So she went to look for somewhere she fit in, somewhere
with other people who felt misunderstood…."
"That really sounds like Connie." Lars said. Sadie shushed him.
"That's why we're all here. To be wild and free, and gracefully shattering each other's dreams, and wear cool costumes, and make up nicknames and... so can't we just have this? Can't we just dance?" Connie cried.
Jasper walked up to Connie, her helmet disapparated, and she took the microphone. "No."
The people gasped again.
"Because we are the…" Jasper glanced at Peridot. "Notorious O-order of... Dancing... Haters?" Peridot gasped then smirked. She grabbed the microphone away.
"Heh, heh, heh, yes!" The gem laughed, truly sounding wicked. "We wanna stop all dancing everywhere! EVERYWHERE I TELL YOU!" She cried. She turned to Lapis. "Are you going to let us destroy all dancing, you
little clod?" Lapis stood up slowly.
"Don't let them destroy dancing!" Sadie yelled. "Enchantress! Water Witch! Enchantress! Water Witch!" She held up a revised sign that said "ENCHANTRESS IS not A JERK!" Soon the whole crowd had joined in.
"We'll stop you!" Connie cried.
"... The magic duo is fighting back, folks… Are they gonna win... The suspense is destroying me…" Mr. Frowney said.
Connie danced remarkably better than Peridot and she pretended to faint.
Suddenly, the two opponents they were supposed to be fighting brought on a ladder. Connie realized she could now get the belts!
Lapis twirled in front of Jasper and they weaved around each other in circles. Jasper suddenly touched Lapis's arm on accident. Their gems started to glow and cold panic hit Lapis. Her eyes widened in fear and she yanked away, gasping for air. Jasper
/realized what she did and walked up to Lapis. The woman didn't look up. "I'm sorry about putting you in a choke hold…" Lapis whispered, not wanting to speak of what had just happened. "I'm sorry too…"
A loud cheer erupted from the crowd as Connie waved the belts over her head.
"They've won…" Mr. Frowney said. "And they have saved dancing…."
"Sadie, I'm really confused…." Lars whispered.
"I love you, Enchantress Millionaire…" Sadie said, shedding a tear.
Hey guys! So I know I haven't written any author's notes in this story so far but I wanted to exsplain somethings. 1. Sadie and Lars are switched because... Guys, Connieis fourteen in this! When we get to that episode where they switch bodies... I didn't want to write that, older pepole know what I mean! 2. Mr. Frowney and Mr. Smiley switched because a fan suggested it, and I personally liked that. 3. For this episode, dancing instead of wrestling, I was originally thinking Jasper for this but she already had a episode with Connie and this was Amethyst's episode and Lapis is Amethyst. The reason I picked dancing was I can't see Lapis wrestling anyone, when she wants someone to get hurt, she gracefully does so, not getting her hands dirty:Gracefully staying away from the fight of the Crystal Gems and doubles, gracefully almostdrowningConnie and Steven, gracefully slamming the Rubies ship to Earth,and how could we forget, gracefully trapping Jasper at the bottom of the ocean with chains while she's yelling... I love Lapis, guys.
