""Now, if I'm correct, and I know I am," Pearl smirked, "that should be all of them."
As she stood in front of the tally board, the tall gem amusingly twirled the marker between her fingers. Amethyst, meanwhile, had her jaw stretched to such an extent it had hit the floor. Mark for mark, the amount of humans Pearl had managed to sleep with now dominated the board. Next to the section allocated for Amethyst, the two clouds of black marker lines were virtually identical in mass. It should be noted that Garnet also had a few more tallies added to her scoreboard as well, three to be exact, but her section was dwarfed by the other two. She didn't particularly mind. Garnet had foreseen the squabble that would come from this, after all.
"Read 'em and weep!" gloated Pearl, balancing the marker pen on the end of an extended finger as to further affirm her mastery of the physical form, "I told you I'd run laps around your numbers, and I did!"
Amethyst picked her lower jaw up off the floor and once again firmly affixed it to her head. "I gotta admit, P, I underestimated you." She approached the board, hands on her hips, admiring the sheer amount of numbers her teammate had managed to 'do it' with in such a short space of time. As she peered, counting, Pearl had crossed her arms and lifted her chin, scoffing. "Oh, I don't blame you for that, Amethyst, not at all! I try to remain humble when I can.
Amethyst grinned as she found what she was looking for.
"But we're still tied."
The more perceptive would've heard the sound of shattering. The colour drained from Pearl's face and her eyes widened. "WHAT?!" she virtually screamed, "My math has never been off! I—". As Pearl's eyes darted up and down the board, her calculations came to a rather abrupt halt; both the gems were tied in a dead heat.
"Turns out that beach bro from the party last night wasn't a total waste of time after all!" Amethyst mused. "But don't threat, Pearl, the option to admit defeat is still on the table!"
"The colour quickly returned to Pearl's face, now a heavy blue blush of anger. "OOoo you can bet your bottom dollar this little bet of yours is FAR from over! In fact, we're just getting started!"
"As she watched the two squabble once again, Garnet sat on the couch in quiet contemplation. What neither of them knew is that they'd started something new. A little-known biological trait of gem-kind is that they can sense hormonal changes in the air. It affects them in ways that've been lost to the Era's. It changes Gems far and wide. And even tho she could see well into the future, Garnet really had no idea how this was going to effect the rest of the Gems dotted around Beach City…
