"So you're saying that you just, twirled, around and fused?" Pearl asked, placing her right hand over her eyes. Triphane slyly smirked as she looked back at Pearl, "Yup! | That's is correct." Pearl took her hand off her head as she took a quick glance at what seemed to be an extremely excited Garnet before continuing, "Ok, I see... Can you unfuse now? I don't know what will happen if you stay fused like this for much longer." Steven didn't mind to unfuse considering that he had been fused with Peridot for quite some time, but Peridot wasn't ready. Peridot refused to unfuse, causing Steven to worry a little as he attempted to force himself out but failed. "I'm not ready! | We have to- | I don't want to! | Why not? | B-Because I'm nothing without it! | Don't say that Peridot- | Back on homeworld I- | I know Peridot! We have the same mind, I understand how you feel." Triphane paused for a moment as she huffed, "I'm sorry Steven- | It's alright... I guess you can stay a little longer- | Really?"
"Absolutely not!" Pearl stated as she stood up.
"But-" Triphane argued.
"No buts! What I say is final, and it's happening." Pearl demanded.
"No Pearl tells me what to do, you don't have the authority to!" Triphane stomped her foot on the ground before storming upstairs to Stevens' bed, an idea from Steven and performed by Peridot. They were indeed in the same set of mind as they showed to do even more actions without much thought put into them. Pearl growled as she began to give chase to the fusion. Once Garnet was finally up, she walked over to Pearl and put her hand on her shoulder, "Pearl, let her be. I doubt that Peridot has ever fused before knowing that she's from the homeworld. Let her have her fun first, then we'll discuss what to do with them. Have Amethyst watch over them while we're gone, I need to talk with you."
Pearl took one last look at Triphane before following behind Garnet, "Amethyst, watch those two." Pearl said as she passed her. Amethyst simply shrugged, Pizza dangling from her mouth, "Kay."
The warp pad shone as both Garnet and Pearl left the temple, teleporting to who knows where. Amethyst stood from the couch, stretching her legs and arms before walking up the stairs, taking a quick look at the fusion. Amethyst giggled as she approached her, "Hey there, uh, Stevidot, Periverse-"
Triphane layed back up and gazed at Amethyst before snudging closer to her, "It's... My name is Triphane," Triphane stated, Steven and Peridots voices combining into one.
"Triphane? I like it, really fits your color," Amethyst replied as she dangled from one of Triphanes arms. "I think so too- | The color mixture doesn't make much sense but- | I think we look beautiful Peridot- | We've only seen oursel-... | Yeah, that is kinda confusing isn't it?" Triphane continued to argue with herself until Amethyst put a finger up to her mouth, "Geeze, you really talk a lot, don't you?" Triphane adjusted her glasses before answering, "This is a matter of debate- | Periiiidottt- | Ugh, fine... I'll comply."
Triphane layed down once more and looked up, "I think we should unfuse now- | Alright." Triphane then started glowing before it split in two, separating Steven and Peridot. Once Stevens' body reformed, he sat up, feeling more energized than before, probably due to the exposure of being 75% Gem.
Peridot groaned as she opened her eyes, raising her hand over her face before her visor reappeared on her face. Amethyst couldn't help but notice that Peridot had gotten significantly shorter as Amethyst stood next to her, making her uncomfortable.
"Wow Peridot, have you always been this short?" Amethyst asked as she started measuring Peridots height to her own using her hand.
"Well-" Peridot stated as she put her finger in the air, ready to explain further until Steven finished what she was going to say. "When we fused, her body parts fell off!" Steven said as he rubbed his shoulder against Peridots with starry eyes. Peridot facepalmed as Amethyst winced in disgust, "Wait, your fusion did what now?" Amethyst asked.
"I-" Peridot stopped Steven there as she continued, "As I was saying, due to our... untimely fusion, my limb enhancers wouldn't fit our fusion so they were shot out and into the ocean." Peridot sighed in grief when she got to the end of her sentence. Steven, being the care bear he is, hugged Peridot from behind.
"I like this version beettterrrr," Steven teased as he stuck out his tongue and slightly poked Peridots cheek. Peridot looked over at Steven with a massive blush on her cheeks. Steven noted this as he pushed his left and right index fingers into Peridots cheeks that formed a kitty face, "So cute! You're so skinny winny an-" Peridot stopped him there as Amethyst chuckled, "Hey you, I'm a warrior made in a successful kindergarten. I am a master in my class and-"
Peridot was interrupted by Amethyst as she stood up, "Hey, I'm going to the Big Donut so don't do anything weird while I'm gone kay?"
Steven nodded as he puffed his cheeks, his fingers still placed on Peridots cheeks, making her more giddy by the second.
"Want anything Stee-man?" Amethyst asked Steven. Steven shook his head, "No thank you Amethyst, but maybe Peridot would like one," Steven requested. Peridot took a look up at Amethyst as she tilted her head, "D-o-n-u-t?" Peridot asked as she slightly smiled.
"It's a kind of food that humans, like me, eat sometimes. I don't know anybody that doesn't like donuts... well maybe Pearl, but she doesn't like food in general." Peridot paused for a moment before agreeing to have a donut, "Sure... I will do the intake of an Earth Donut but make it a snappy recovery, I have plans to discuss with Steven, and Steven, you're a hybrid."
"Whatever you say Peridactyl," Amethyst said as she waved at the two before storming out the door and coming back in, "Really, don't do anything while I'm gone." Amethyst turned around and exited the temple again as she turned into an owl and flew in the direction of the Big Donut.
After 10 minutes of discussing the cluster, Amethyst finally arrived at the temple with a bag of donuts. One of the donuts was round had a green icing with lime colored sprinkles, the other donut in the bag was a long brown with chocolate icing and no toppings. Amethyst walked up to Peridot and handed her the donut before sitting on the couch to watch how it plays out, reaching for her donut as a replacement for popcorn. Peridot played with the donut, trying to put it on like a bracelet and an assortment of things until she finally had enough.
"What is this? How does this work Steven," Peridot asked as she tossed the donut from left to right. Steven couldn't help but chuckle as he approached Peridot and took the donut from her, "Hey!" Peridot shouted as Steven took the donut away. "Don't worry Peridot, I just want to help," Steven answered as he faced the donut towards her mouth. "What are you doing? What do you want me to do?" Peridot asked as she brought her hands up to her chest.
Steven chuckled once more as he tapped the donut against Peridots mouth, "Just open your mouth and close your eyes Peridot, trust me." Peridot looked down for a slight moment before opening her mouth and closing her eyes, "Okay Steven, I'm trusting you." Peridot tilted her head upwards a little bit as she felt the donut insert into her mouth, "Haha, you have to bite down on it and swallow, but make sure you chew a lot before actually swallowing it. The flavors the best part," Steven explained as he pushed the entire donut into Peridots mouth, making her cheek color tint a little as she placed her hand over her mouth to keep the crumbs from getting all over her. Peridot chuckled as she tasted the food and quickly swallowed the whole thing. Once Peridot swallowed the whole donut, she looked up at Steven as she widened her eyes, forming stars in her eyes as she got closer to Steven. "Why... do I enjoy this?" Peridot asked, later in the day she would question her sanity. Steven was addled when he found out that Peridot enjoyed the food, "You like it?" Steven teased.
