After David had left to eat, Amethyst hung out with the guys a bit but after a few minutes she got the feeling someone was watching her. She looked over to see Michael, in the distance, just watching her. Even when she knew he knew she'd seen him he didn't look away. Paul noticed Amethyst looking off in the distance and followed her gaze. He's eyes narrowed and he suddenly picked Amethyst up from behind. She let out a squeak and Paul started laughing.

"What are you doing?" she asked with a big smile.

"What? I can't pick you up for no reason?" Paul asked with a big grin, satisfied that he'd distracted her.

"Uh no." She laughed.

"Oh well," Paul said and kept her up.

"Put me down." Amethyst giggled.

"Naaah." Marko chuckled and Dwayne rolled his eyes.

"Hey, let's go get some cotton candy," Marko suggested.

"Well, I'd say yes but my feet aren't on the ground," Amethyst said looking back at Paul. He stuck his tongue out and put her down. Marko took her hand.

"Come on." Marko led her away and Dwayne and Paul turned to glare at Michael.


Amethyst and Marko were walking back with their cotton candy. Marko suddenly chuckled.

"What's so funny?" Amethyst asked.

"You got uh-" He pointed to the left of his lips. Amethyst rubbed the right corner of her mouth making him chuckle again. He stopped walking, making her stop, and cupped her chin. Amethyst blinked as Marko leaned in to her face and proceeded to lick the cotton candy off the corner of her mouth. When Marko pulled away he chuckled with his signature smile as he saw how red Amethyst's face was. "Sorry, couldn't help myself. You're adorable when you blush," he admitted. She looked away shyly and started walking back to Paul and Dwayne making Marko laugh more.

The two finished off their cotton candy and Amethyst grabbed Dwayne's hand and pulled him towards the Ferris wheel.

"What about us?" Paul called after her.

"You two could ride it together," she suggested with a wink. Both Paul and Marko looked at each other before moving away from one another quickly and making grossed out faces.

"Amethyst!" they whined in unison. Her response was laughter before pulling a chuckling Dwayne along.


"So I guess this is our place?" Dwayne asked. Amethyst looked from the people below to him. "The place we go to talk," he clarified.

"Yeah." She smiled. "I'm gunna be 18 in two days." She grinned. Dwayne smiled.

"Paul and Marko are still hell bent on getting you a present, you know."

"I already told you guys; being with you all forever is enough for me."

"Do you really think that's a good enough reason for them to give up? They're too stubborn. " Amethyst chuckled and leaned against him. He put his arm around her shoulders.

"I wanna do something for you guys," she told him.

"You being with us forever is enough." Dwayne kissed the top of her head.

"Ah, but unfortunately some stubbornness rubbed off on me," Amethyst said with a smirk.

"Do what you wish then," Dwayne said with a chuckle. "But the birthday girl should be the one receiving the presents."

"Too bad," Amethyst said before laying her head against Dwayne's shoulder. He smiled down at her.

The two got off the ride and headed back to the boys. When they got there they saw David was back. Marko ran up to Amethyst and took her arm.

"Let's go play some games!" he exclaimed with a big smile. Amethyst laughed and let Marko pull her along, with Paul close behind, towards the arcade.


Once they entered the people that were already inside moved away to let them play whatever game they walked near. After a few games Marko and Paul were glued to one game trying to one up each other's scores. Amethyst watched them play before she stepped in.

"Let me show you how it's done," she said before she began to play. The two guys looked from her to the screen and back as her score went up and past both of their high scores. After a few moments past their scores her character died. "Ha!" Marko and Paul began to bow.

"We're not worthy! We're not worthy!" They chorused making Amethyst laugh with her hands on her hips. Suddenly David came over and started to play the game. The three stared at him in shock for actually taking an interest in the game then in disbelief as his score quickly surpassed Marko and Paul's scores and was closing in on Amethyst's new high score. Amethyst stared at the screen moving closer to David. David took a moment to glance at her and since he was much taller than her, he was able to get a full view of cleavage from her tank top. David swallowed, and found himself staring.

"HA!" He blinked and looked at her face to see her grinning. He looked back at the screen to see the game over screen. "Still the champion!" Amethyst exclaimed with a grin.

"Not so fast," Paul pointed out as David started again. Just like before his score soared. This time he didn't stare at Amethyst and was able to pass her score making her whine.

"Aww maan." David smirked and Amethyst stuck her tongue out at him. "Move over," she said and started to play the game. David chuckled and waited until her score was close to his to lean down to put his lips by her ear from behind.

"No hard feelings, right?" he whispered. This caused Amethyst to jump and hit the wrong button resulting in the game over screen coming up.

"You did that on purpose!" She turned around to face him and swallowed as he was right behind her. She blushed at their closeness making him smirk. "I-It's getting late. Can we go home now?" she asked as she slipped by him. He chuckled as she tried to hide her blush.


Back at the cave Amethyst went over to her bed.

"Hey can I stay with you this time?" Paul asked as he went over. David frowned.

"Um, I'd rather be by myself tonight," Amethyst explained making David smirk. Paul looked very sad and whined.

"Awww."

"But you can tomorrow," she promised. David's frown returned and Paul grinned. "Night guys."

"Night Pidge,." Marko said.

"Night girl," Paul said. Dwayne walked over to the bed.

"Goodnight." He leaned down to kiss her forehead. "Wait till we're asleep this time," he whispered knowing she was planning on going out in the day again. She smiled sheepishly and he smiled before he and David followed after Marko and Paul.

...

After a few hours of resting her eyes, Amethyst got up and headed outside. She squinted at the rising sun before getting on Dwayne's bike. She paused for a moment and looked over at the sunrise. She'd never taken the time to watch the sunrise nor the sunset. She couldn't help but think it was even more beautiful than people say it is when you know it's one of the last times you're going to see it. She wasn't changing her mind or anything; she was going to be turned no matter what. In reality she wasn't really going to miss the day time. The only thing she would only slightly miss would be being able to sneak off without the guys to have a bit of alone time.

Amethyst started the bike and pulled away and headed to the boardwalk. Once there she parked the bike where the guys normally put theirs and she started to walk around. She didn't really know what she wanted to get the guys but she knew she wanted to make something for them. While walking past stores she gathered ideas and, when she would see something she liked, she got the materials. She kept them in her shoulder bag.

After about an hour of walking and shopping around, someone touched her shoulder gently. She turned around and moved back when she saw Michael. He looked extremely tired, weak and was wearing sunglasses.

"Can we talk?" he asked, his voice making him sound even worse.

"We've already talked... You look horrible," she added with a grimace. He gave her a look.

"Yeah thanks... I need a way out of this."

"I don't know a way out. What did David tell you?" Amethyst asked. Michael chuckled weakly.

"He threatened to kill me if I ever touched you and again and then he told me not to talk to you."

"Not good at following directions then."

"Look, it's not fair... I didn't have a choice in this."

"I'm sorry."

"You could've prevented it," he accused. "You could've told me not to drink from that bottle."

"If I had said it was blood would you have believed me?" Amethyst asked. He didn't answer. "Exactly. Look... I'll talk to David but he won't be happy that you talked to me."

"You don't have to tell him I talked to you today. I did ask you about this last night."

"Alright, I'll make sure he doesn't come after you but I can't promise anything."

"Thank you."

"You should go home before you pass out."

"Thanks for your concern but I'll be fine."

"Alright then, I've got to get going. I'm already in the nocturnal habit, this is the longest I've stayed up."

"Well good for you," Michael deadpanned. Amethyst sighed.

"Goodbye Michael."

Amethyst got back to the cave and got started on the gifts. After about an hour she was about to pass out so she hid the materials under her bed then let herself drift off to sleep.
