It was a late Thursday night, somewhere around 11:45, when Peridot found herself wandering around Debbie's property. She was torn between going back to the Kindergarten and remaining her to form a tactile way to escape the planet.
However, Peridot's silence was abruptly cut by a voice. For a moment the gem was irritated, but a curious fascination quickly replaced those feelings when a pleasing sort of sound began to accompany the words.
For so long now have I wondered
Wondered, what it felt like to fly
How long will a dream go unnoticed
Before its bearer just lets it fade and die
Raising a brow, Peridot followed the voice as it dipped and bobbed. To her slightly surprise, she found Debbie overlooking the battlefield nearby.
Such fairytales have been told
Human's with glittering wings
But don't you dare tell me at this age
That such a dream may be my own
That I can have such a thing
Because right now the only thing I see are lies
Peridot raised a brow as the woman's voice became stronger. Unwittingly, the tech-heavy gem began to record Debbie's voice as the wonderful acoustics of the cliff created a better sound than she would have normally made.
Each day that passes can seem like only a blink
A rush of life many feel need to waste
But sometimes I wonder if that's all we ever do
When most of our dreams won't even come true
Debbie suddenly stopped singing and whirled around to find the green gem watching her. She coughed and averted her gaze.
"I didn't hear you..." Debbie said softly.
Peridot reluctantly stopped the recording and haphazardly filed it away.
"I know. What was that anyway?" Peridot asked.
"What...the song?"
"Song? No, what were you doing?" Peridot asked.
"Singing. What did you think I was doing?" Debbie asked, bewildered.
Peridot shrugged indifferently, "I once heard Jasper tell Sapphire to stop singing. But I wasn't sure if this was the same. Your voice was forming words in a musical tone...Sapphire was not."
Debbie vaguely wondered who Jasper and Sapphire were but decided to disregard the names. "Yeah, it's pretty common on earth." Debbie replied.
"It sounded nice-." Peridot shrugged but abruptly stopped, "Not to say you sounded nice! That was...I mean..." Peridot was rapidly becoming flustered leaving Debbie to stand there and watch the gem dig herself a deeper hole.
"I get it." Debbie spoke up mercifully, catching Peridot's attention, "New data. Some...new behavioral kink to catalog. Don't worry about the explanations." Debbie said and walked past the green gem.
Peridot stood there silently watching the human female's back as it disappeared into the barren field. Once Debbie was out of earshot, Peridot opened an audio file from a few months ago.
