The Crystal Gems returned and went into their rooms seeing that Steven and Amy fell asleep already. Amy got up when she knew they were out of the house and went outside to sit in the ocean. She didn't mind the cold water on her body, she found it more soothing than anything. She messed with the sand letting it fall out of hands.

She missed her home and it may not be the same after she spent all that time trying to get away from Homeworld. Amy had realized that times had changed a long, long time ago. She wasn't even sure if they would've kept Pink Diamond's shards in an effort of trying to fix her. She missed the pink haired gem who smiled at her nicely.

Part of her felt like the Crystal gems were keeping something from her but she couldn't blame them. The part of the Diamonds they experienced was a lot different than what she experienced. Steven had explained that fusions between two different gems were frowned upon; Amy couldn't see how it was if it created something so beautiful as Garnet. She found Amethyst perfect but if she had been on Homeworld she would have been shattered and so would Pearl for disobeying orders.

"I don't blame them... They've been protecting this place forever, of course they would be suspicious of me."

Her pale blue hair was blowing all around her thanks to the wind from the ocean and waves. All Amy wanted to do was go home and stay there. She didn't have to worry about all the things she was dealing with now, but could she go back and be alone after having such wonderful friends? She didn't want to abandon anyone else.

The next morning Pearl allowed Amy to try and make breakfast by herself, in which she made it delicious and she didn't burn anything. Steven even took a picture of Amy holding a spatula in one hand and a plate of food in the other smiling proudly. It was around ten when Lapis showed up on the warp pad with Peridot waving and smiling. Maybe for Amy it would be good if she was distracted for a little while.

Steven took Peridot, Lapis and Amy up to his bed and showed them the video games he played while they all sat in awe watching him play. Finally Peridot took the controller from him and started playing, to no one's surprise she was pretty ok at playing. Steven hooked up the second player and handed it to Lapis who looked unenthusiastic to play but did anyways and ended up beating Peridot who became angry. Amy giggled as Peridot stormed off to the downstairs but she returned shortly looking embarrassed.

"I don't see how you could be so good and you don't even like technology!" Peridot yelled.

"I don't know but it's ok. You want to try Amy?" Lapis asked smiling at Amy who looked unsure.

"Is it fun? I like watching you two play actually," Amy said blushing.

Peridot looked at Lapis as she sat up behind of Amy and wrapped her arms to show her the controls as she placed her own hands on the alien gem's. Steven didn't find this odd at all but Peridot did and she was a little jealous admittedly. It took her a while to get Lapis to like her but took Amy just showing up and it was enough to gain a friendship. I did interrogate her... I guess I can't blame her but Lazuli is getting awfully friendly really fast.

Lapis and Amy played against Peridot for thirty minutes before Steven took over for Peridot. They tagged teamed for over three hours before Steven called it quits when was hungry. Amy got up and followed him to the kitchen to watch what he was making so she could learn how to do it too. Peridot looked over at Lapis who was watching Amy like a hawk.

"Do you like her?" Peridot asked and Lapis jumped.

"Huh? Of course she's my friend."

Peridot looked unamused.

"Yea, sure."

"What does that mean?" Lapis asked making a scary face.

"I've never even seen you that friendly with Steven."

Lapis' face turned dark blue and she turned away.

Amethyst decided to join them after Steven was done eating. Amethyst was going to make a couple sandwiches like Steven did but Amy offered to help because she really wanted to try. Amy managed to make a foot tall stack of lunch meat, cheese, condiments and five slices of bread for Amethyst who had stars in her eyes seeing the wonderful artwork. Steven snapped another picture and then another of Amethyst hugging Amy making everyone laugh.

Peridot and Lapis watched in disgust as Amethyst shoved the whole thing in her mouth and swallowed but Amy and Steven were unfazed by it, which it was normal for them anyways. They decided to go outside and play in the water at Lapis' suggestion. Amy stopped and stared at the spot she had sat when Steven first met her, everything that was said that night came flooding back. Peridot stopped by her and tapped her shoulder the best she could since she was short.

"Huh? Sorry I was lost in my thoughts."

Peridot nodded and smiled, "It's fine. In a little bit would you like to draw pictures with me? Maybe they would help with my investigation."

"Sure I'd love too," Amy said smiling at the green gem.

"Can I ask you an unorthodox question?"

"Um sure," she answered unsure what that really meant.

Peridot knew Lapis was listening and it was just what she wanted.

"So... I have never done it before but if given the chance you are up to it, would you fuse with me?" Peridot asked shocking the alien gem.

Lapis was fuming with rage and Steven saw this but he had no idea why she would be so angry.

"I-I-I don't know. I don't even know how it works. Maybe after we figure out some stuff about me. I don't us fusing unless it's completely safe."

Peridot scratched her chin, "This is true."

"That was another question I was going to ask you at some point anyways. I don't know if I can."

"Yo dorks! Get in here and have fun!" Amethyst yelled making them both smile.

"What's a dork?" Amy asked looking a little confused.

"It means someone who isn't very good at socializing."

"Oh."

Amy grabbed Peridot's hand and pulled her into the ocean making everyone laugh except for Lapis. She continued to stare at her angrily at her little green roommate. If I didn't like Camp Pining Hearts I would snap all of those DVDs in half. I'm going to try and be nice until she keeps provoking me. Steven tackled Lapis into the water and she started laughing. Lapis raised the water taking everyone into the air and it was fun for them all.

Lapis dropped everyone and they all fell into the water laughing. Lapis raised the water where Amy was and brought her closer to her making Amy blush a dark blue color. Garnet was watching out the window seeing the display going on and she wasn't sure how to take it with Amy not understanding feelings all that much. Garnet watches as they all played in the ocean together. Lucky for them Amethyst had taken a liking to Amy but not as much as Lapis.

Amy landed in Lapis' arms giggling as Peridot stood to the side watching the interaction. Peridot had grown to like Lapis a lot even with her strange attitude towards everything. Peridot had thought it was strange to consider Amy an amethyst with her color but her gem shape was most unusual; it looked extremely similar to Peridot's. Mostly all the Peridots she had ever seen were green to yellow in color not blue.

Amy had to be another gem, a kind she had never seen before. She had no control over water like a Lapis Lazuli, all she had was strength and from the Crystal Gems she could over power Jasper easily. How come she was able to heal a corrupted gem then the corruption just turned into purple splotches on her skin? Was there more to it than Amy let on or did she have some kind of amnesia?

Lapis started raising waves to where Steven could surf on Amethyst who shape-shifted into a surf board. Amy watched with stars in her eyes as Steven surfed over Lapis' waves with ease. Peridot didn't mind she was on the side watching because she was studying Lapis and Amy's interaction. Maybe Amy was a Lapis Lazuli without the powers; her coloring was almost the same. No Lapis Lazuli was the same in personality and shape but their powers and colors were the same.

It was about six when Pearl called them in for dinner. Amethyst and Steven ran up to the house with Amy and Lapis lagging behind and Peridot behind them, listening to them talk. Peridot could see why Lapis would like her so much physically; she was beautiful. They stopped outside the steps and Peridot continued up the stairs listening as well as she could.

"So, Amy... Do you like Earth?" Lapis asked smiling at her.

"It's pretty... but I prefer my own planet sometimes but it's because I miss it. I know you're from Home world, do you like it here?"

"I do. I have good friends. A great roommate. Can I tell you something?"

Amy nodded and Lapis took her hands.

"I think you're really beautiful and I like how you are. You seem so free... would you like to be with me? Like how it is with Sapphire and Ruby."

Lapis' face was dark blue and so was Amy's. (What's this feeling?)

"I don't think I can say yes when someone else likes you like that."

Lapis looked confused, "What?"

"Peridot seemed to n be acting weird the whole day. I think she likes you because she's been watching us through the window the whole time."

Lapis turned around and looked to see Peridot trying to hide but her blonde triangular hair was showing still making them giggle.

"I had no idea. This explains a lot about why she's never mean to me. What should I do?" Lapis whispered.

"Go tell her."

Lapis took Amy's hand and they headed up the stairs together smiling. They entered the house to see Amethyst and Steven eating dinner while Pearl and Garnet sat with them. Peridot was sitting by the window with a strange look on her face; it was an expression between anger and sadness. Lapis let go of Amy's hand and stood in front of the little green gem staring her down making Peridot uncomfortable.

"Peridot."

"Yes?!" She squeaked in response.

"Amy told me you like me. Is that true?"

Steven gasped smiling; he knew it all along.

"I-I-I-

"Peridot relax. Tell her the truth," Steven said smiling.

"Yes. For a couple weeks now..."

Lapis knelt down and wrapped her arms around Peridot's tiny, shaking frame hugging her tightly. Peridot's face was dark green and her eyes were wide with astonishment. She never thought the beautiful gem would like her back but it made her happy all the same. Peridot hugged her back and relaxed herself.

Amy went and sat on the couch. She smiled thinking about happy she was for the new couple.

"This calls for celebration!" Steven yelled, "Can we make them a cake?!"

"Steven I don't think that they would want a cake-

"I can make it," Amy said smiling, "It sounds like fun."

Garnet smiled and gave Peridot thumbs up making the gem glow happily.

"This is the best day we've had in a long time," Steven said and shoveled the rest of his food in his mouth.

Amy and Steven made a small French vanilla cake with peanut butter icing. They had so much fun making it together they found a small tube of red icing and drew hearts all over the cake. They handed it the new happy couple smiling brightly but Lapis was the only one to eat it since Peridot wasn't much into human food thanks to Amethyst; even Garnet had a piece. Everything seemed perfect in that moment.

Steven decided to order a couple pizzas and share with everyone for later. They ate pizza around ten and by one everyone was all tired out from all the fun. Peridot and Lapis held hands as they warped back home waving to the Crystal Gems. Amy relaxed back on the couch and closed her eyes. She was glad for her friends.

Garnet was carrying Steven up the stairs and placed him in bed even though he was in his regular clothes but he was too sleepy to change. Garnet came back down the stairs to see Amy staring into the kitchen with a dazed look on her face. Sometimes the fusion would catch her just staring but she had no idea what she was thinking about. She could be thinking about home and Pink Diamond or even about the day she had.

"Are you ok?" Garnet asked taking a seat beside of her.

"Yea. I'm glad for Peridot and Lapis."

"That was nice of you to do. How did you know they liked each other?" the fusion asked.

Amy grinned widely and said, "Camp Pining Hearts."

Sorry for the wait and I hope you don't think you had to wait so long. Thank you to the 5 followers I do have, I'm glad you like it :) Like I said I am a big fan of Lapidot but this is more about my OC and Jasper when we get there. Next chapter: Into the Beta Kindergarten
