I decided to use Peridot's obsession with Camp Pining Hearts and turn Jasper into a fan of it too. I think it would be cute having the two couples together to binge the show. I also downloaded a lot of fanart of Lapis and Peridot in CPH outfits lol I love people :) On with the mushy stuff
Jasper looked around as they appeared on a green hill. There was grass, trees, birds and animal around them and the sun was shining bright. Part of her could see why the Crystal Gems stayed on this planet with it's natural beauty and all. There was so much to the planet once Jasper opened her eyes and saw what it had to offer thanks to Amy.
Part of Jasper wanted to ask her if she wanted to leave and go to another planet- with just the two of them. The idea was far fetched but it was worth a shot to ask; the quartz didn't give a shit much for anyone else and the diamonds would be gunning for Earth sooner or later. She had heard of the things they could do and she definitely didn't want to be around when they showed up.
Jasper's mind flipped to Pink Diamond. The images from Amy's mind haunted her and it was the only thing she could think of after she realized that Amy was partaking in the human activity such as sleeping. Maybe at the time may couldn't realize such feelings, but Jasper saw it in her face- Pink Diamond had fallen for some lonely alien gem from another planet. Jasper was jealous and it pissed her off she felt that way even when the event happened thousands of years ago.
Maybe she shouldn't be having these feelings but she was. What if... what if she was able to fix Pink Diamond? Would she try and take back Amy for herself? Would Amy just use her for right now and then when Pink Diamond came back she would dump her in a heartbeat and take off for Homeworld leaving Jasper on this pathetic planet?
"Jasper!" Amy cried making the quartz jump.
"Huh?"
"You're going to break my hand- are you ok?!" her girlfriend asked quite panicked.
"I'm fine. I just thought of something that upset me, I didn't meant to hurt you," Jasper whispered looking ashamed.
"It's ok. Well, we are here," she said smiling.
Jasper looked up staring at the barn with the truck and silo sticking out of it. The quartz stared in confusion at the building. What the hell is this crap? Lapis and Peridot stay here? Why would anyone stay here?Amy led her into the barn with a smile looking at all the meep morps that Peridot and Lapis had created even though Steven had explained that humans called it art.
"Lapis! Peri! We are here!" Amy called.
Peridot popped her head from the loft and waved to them.
"Hey guys! Lapis will be back shortly as she went out for some chaaps and popcorn. Come on up! Steven's father got us another couch."
Amy allowed Jasper to go first and then she climbed up the ladder after she did. Jasper looked around seeing some box and things on the floor stacked up by the box. There definitely two couches and it was the only thing Jasper knew what it was but everything was a mystery. Peridot sat down on the blue couch as Amy sat on the new brown one they had gotten. Amy patted the empty spot beside of her and Jasper sat down.
"So... um Jasper... do you like being a Crystal Gem?" Peridot asked trying to hide the fact she was nervous.
"What?!"
Amy started giggling, "You are considered one now."
Jasper blushed and looked away with her arms crossed.
"Don't worry I don't consider myself one either, I'm just Lapis."
Peridot smiled as Lapis landed on the loft and her water wings disappeared. She sat down two bags full of food onto the floor and headed over to the stack of DVDs.
"So why are you a Crystal Gem then?" Jasper asked pointing at Peridot.
"I did missions with them so that makes me one."
Amy shrugged, "I haven't done anything yet."
Peridot smiled, "It's because you don't have a weapon yet and you need one."
Amy laughed nervously, "Why do I need one of those?"
"Because Homeworld could come after all of us any day and you need to be able to protect yourself," Jasper said.
Amy's face drained of color, "They would come after us?" she whispered.
"They might, they came after us," Lapis said pointing at Peridot and Jasper.
Amy looked at them funny, "What do you mean?"
"Steven freed me from a mirror that some Homeworld gems had trapped me thousands of years ago during the war. I just wanted to go home because I didn't belong here on Earth and Steven healed my cracked gem then I took off. Homeworld isn't the same as I remember it being. Jasper and Peridot here used me for information looking for the Crystal Gems then kidnapped them and had me in prison on their ship.
"Then when Garnet defeated Jasper the ship crashed and I tried to escape but Jasper wanted to fuse when she found out they were still alive, trying to manipulate me but when we fused I dragged her to the bottom of the ocean for months on end. They interrogated me endlessly but it's ok now, I have forgiven Peridot for it. I obviously forgive Jasper for everything too and that's why we arranged the double date."
"Malachite right?" Amy said.
Jasper's face reddened. Amy placed her hand on her shoulder, "You have nothing to worry about... when we were at the Beta Kindergarten, I saw everything that happened here on Earth. I'm not mad and I understand why you felt the way you did. I'm not mad or upset... Are you ready to watch the show?"
Jasper looked down at the alien gem who was smiling sweetly like everything would be ok.
"Ok... So what is this anyways?" the quartz said changing the subject.
"It's a romantic drama with six seasons that will take at least thirty hours to completely finish it with the extras and everything else on it. There's a short movie too we can watch. Maybe next week we can try another show and binge watch it. Lapis here got a part time job at the convenience store a week ago and she gets paid every week. She likes it because she can get out and none of us can pester her until she gets home," Peridot said smiling.
"Oh, that's nice..." Amy said smiling sheepishly.
"It's not anyone its just Peridot is always making logs and notes on her tablet and she's always talking to herself. Sometimes I need to get out and we need a way to get new shows. I'll running out of things to blog about on CPH anyways," Lapis said smiling.
"In a three days Amy, I will have a file compiled for you of things I have collected and came up with."
Jasper's eyes turned to slits as she looked over at the green gem. What does she mean by that?
"Ok! It's on!" Lapis said and everyone turned to the TV.
At first Jasper was really confused by the scenes on the TV. She watched as the campers got to the camp and started their first few days then they were separated into colored camps. Then Percy and Paulette began interacting more throughout the episodes but they weren't showing any interest until the last few episodes of the season. Sadly enough Jasper found herself loving the human show- she was hooked just like Lapis did and unlike Peridot who got caught up in one episode and watching it repeatedly.
The first season ended and Lapis looked over at Jasper who looked completely enthralled by the show.
"Did you like it?" the blue gem asked smiling.
"Um... Yea it was ok," Jasper said her face turning dark.
Amy giggled, "It's ok to like it. We all do."
Jasper nodded not looking anyone in the eyes.
"I still think Percy and Pierre make the best couple," Peridot said smiling.
"Ugh this again?" Lapis said throwing Amy a bag of popcorn from the store.
"I think it is true and I analyzed the whole thing!"
"You analyze everything."
"Garnet is Percy and Pierre."
Amy tilted her head to the side in confusion, "What?"
"What does the fusion have to do with anything?" Jasper asked looking annoyed.
Peridot just glared at them but she did excuse Amy in her head since the whole feelings thing is new.
"Most fusions happen because they used to go into battle or to serve some other function. I did a chart on Percy and Pierre explaining why they are the best couple considering their personality and traits which they have the most in common. But Paulette and Percy obviously likes each other regardless of their differences and they are on separate colored camps. Garnet is considered a perfect fusion because both Sapphire and Ruby love each other and almost inseparable. Their love is what makes their fusion as stable as it is."
Jasper looked over at Lapis who looked annoyed by her explanation.
"I know I know!' Lapis got up and popped out the DVD placing in the second one.
"Is there other fusions that can be perfect?" Amy asked looking interested.
"Of course! I have yet to see them because Homeworld looks down on fusions with different gems in the equation."
Amy nodded but she didn't understand why they would think like that. She wondered if Pink Diamond would've tried fusing with her a long time ago...
"Jasper's mind got changed on fusion," Peridot said snickering.
"Stop it now Peridot or we won't have sex later. Malachite was a toxic fusion and it won't happen ever again," Lapis said flatly.
Peridot's mouth snapped shut and the second season of Camp Pining Hearts came on.
Jasper half paid attention to it while she stared sometimes at Lapis. It was true though... The fusion was toxic and it was monstrous. Sadly part of her still wanted to fuse with Lapis to create the monster fusion because they had been together so long. Amy laid her head on Jasper's large arm unaware of the inner struggle the quartz was having.
Jasper snapped out of her thoughts and looked down at the violet colored gem. She was smiling and staring at the TV. The quartz began watching the second season realizing they were already half way through it. By the time she started watching Paulette and Percy were sneaking off on their second date to the lake. Jasper sighed watching as the couple started kissing and holding hands looking at the stars.
By the end of the second season Amy was hugging her legs trying to hold back tears as Paulette broke up with Percy because one of the other girls named Penelope found out they were dating and threatened to get them kicked out of the camp. Peridot and Lapis were handing hands staring without blinking but Jasper seemed rather unmoved by the scene. She just thought Paulette should knock the shit out of Penelope for being jealous.
When the second season was over it was already four in the afternoon. It didn't matter because none of them had to sleep to function and they really didn't need to use the restroom for at least a couple hours at a time. Lapis decided to go outside and take a flying break because she said the second season was too much at the moment. Peridot pulled out her tablet and began playing on the internet and googling things like she normally would.
"Are you enjoying yourself?" Amy asked.
Jasper nodded and looked at the menu screen of Camp Pining Hearts.
"You're not are you?" she asked sounding disappointed.
"No! No! It's just new and everything, we don't have this kind of stuff in Homeworld."
"Right? I love how earthlings pass by the time. Did you know Halloween is coming up? Steven invited us to go 'trick or treating.' I have researched it and it is a time where humans go around dressed up as fictional creatures and beg for candy."
"That sounds really stupid," Jasper said.
"I know I agree but I'll go if Steven is," Lapis said as she landed on the loft.
"Halloween sounds like a strange ritual," Amy said.
"You want to see some of the costumes?" Peridot asked.
"Yes!" Amy jumped up and sat beside of Peridot.
Lapis placed the next DVD in and sat beside of Jasper with no problem.
She hit the play button and it started off where Paulette had broken up with Percy and ran off crying. Penelope was hiding in the brushes and laughing like an evil bitch. Jasper looked over to see that Peridot and Amy were huddled together way to closely for her liking. She made a face and turned her attention back to the show. Without warning Lapis placed a hand on Jasper's shoulder scaring her.
"They are just looking at costumes, you need to relax," Lapis whispered so lowly Jasper could barely hear her.
"But-
"What happened between us... it's over now. I am still affected because we were fused for so long but you have to get over that feeling. I have been afraid to fuse with my own girlfriend but I know she won't rush me. In time Amy will want to fuse with you but if you guys do it, do it because you love her or your friends are in danger but never for power. That's why Malachite didn't work- we wanted both wanted dominance. You were bent on destroying them and I wanted to save Steven."
Jasper relaxed.
"Ok."
Paulette ended up telling Percy she still loved him five episodes in and they got back together which Jasper was happy for. The quartz wasn't into the sad parts much and it kind of hurt considering that her and Lapis kind of broke up in a way. Penelope ended up telling on them but no action was taken because everyone already knew they were together and it wasn't against camp rules. Soon Pierre ended up liking Penelope but she turned him down and started devising another plan to break the couple up.
Finally after the eighth episode Peridot and Amy were done looking at costumes and started paying attention to the show but Amy never moved to her seat. Jasper desperately wanted Amy to move back beside of her because she felt like something was wrong... Like something was screaming inside of her and it was starting to bother her. Jasper got up and headed down the ladder without looking at her girlfriend.
Jasper stumbled outside and sat down in the grass. It was already getting dark outside and the sun had almost disappeared from the sky. She put a hand of her face and groaned. She didn't feel like she was being corrupted which was a nasty horrible feeling. She pulled her hand away and saw it looked like an aqua green color making her jump up in fear.
"What the fuck-
"Jasper, are you ok...?" Amy asked.
Jasper turned around to see Amy standing there scared.
"What's happening to me?" Jasper asked holding up her hand.
Amy frowned, "Are you thinking about Malachite?"
"I was... I just I'm sorry! I was fused for so long- sometimes I hear her voice! She says things will be different this time-
Amy held out her hand, "Fuse with me."
"WHAT?"
"I said fuse with me. You can't get over Malachite- then fuse with me. I don't know what we would create but let's do it. I will do it for you, because you mean everything to me."
"Amy..."
"I'll do everything and anything for you. I'll uncorrupt you, I'll beg Steven to heal you, I'll fuse with you- I'll do anything if it helps you Jasper. Don't ever be afraid to tell me what's bothering you," Amy said her voice soft, sweet and understanding.
"I want too... but I'm afraid Malachite will still be there."
"She'll always be part of you... but that's what makes you, you."
Jasper shook her head, "Fusing with you won't make better- this isn't a sickness."
"I know that..."
Amy stared at her girlfriend with sad eyes.
"Then why would you want to fuse with me?" Jasper asked.
"Because there may be a point where you will want to fuse with Lapis again because you can't help it but I want the first gem I ever fuse with to be with you," the alien gem whispered.
"No- I won't take that chance of sucking you into Malachite's sick twisted needs!" Jasper cried.
Amy hung her head.
"Amy... I'll be ok... let's just back inside and watch the show please," Jasper begged.
"Ok..." Amy turned around and walked back inside leaving Jasper outside to watch as the sea foam color disappeared for the time being.
Fucking Malachite.
You hate me but you can't rid of me...I'll always be here Jasper... I'll always be there to haunt you... One day you will want to fuse with her again because you love my power... You love being me more than you like that creature.
You're wrong...
Jasper shook her head and headed back inside trying to ignore the echo of Malachite's voice in her head.
Things weren't going to be so easy when she was letting Malachite run the show since they separated on Watermelon Island.
Alright everyone, the next chapter is a Halloween special and it does actually go with the story I'm writing so it's not a one shot or whatever. I'm sorry if it took a couple days but I needed a small break, life gets in the way with it's ugly ass head. I'll start working on the next chapter now. :)
