Okie, here you go: school supplies shopping chapter.

-Ace

"Come on, Amethyst! We have to go shopping for school supplies!" yelled Pearl, as Amethyst hadn't woken up yet.

Peridot opened one eye and glared at Pearl. "Would you mind shutting up? Some of us are trying to sleep here."

"Aw, hush up." Pearl said.

Amethyst opened both eyes and tackled Pearl, pushing her away. "Gotcha, P!" she said, sitting on Pearl's back while Pearl laid there, fuming.

"Amethyst!"

"What? Am I embawassing you?" she said, leaning slightly closer to Pearl's red face with a grin.

Pearl laughed evilly and threw the girl up, who fell to the ground with a crash. "OW!" She looked up at Pearl. "Pearl, I got a boo-boo."

Peridot snickered. "Boo-boo?"

"I'm being funny." Amethyst snarled, while somehow keeping her puppy-dog face.

"OH, walk it off!" Pearl yelled.

"Walk being funny off?" Peridot questioned. "I don't think that would be feasible"

"Feasible?" Amethyst snickered.

"Yeah, feasible!" Peridot said.

Pearl cleared her throat. "I did mention that Garnet is pulling the car out in two minutes, right?"

Amethyst shook her head. "NO, you know that's a lie. Garnet's always asleep until 10 AM."

Peridot squinted at her in disbelief. "Seriously? How would someone want to sleep for THAT long?"

"I want to sleep for that long…they don't let me." Amethyst said as Citrine flew into the room.

"AME!" she yelled, colliding with her.

"Citrine, get OFF!" Amethyst said, kicking up into the ghost's stomach with her feet.

Citrine choked. "You didn't have to do that. Anyway, you gotta leave NOW."

"Why?" Amethyst asked.

"Moss, Amazonite, and Erudite are coming back. Hurry, you have to leave!"

"Ci, I can't leave…Peri and Pearl still have to take their showers."

Peridot raised an eyebrow. "What?"

Amethyst shushed her. "So what do you think I should do?"

Citrine turned around and gasped. "Oh no, oh no, oh no they're here!" She yelled.

"Citrine." Moss Agate rasped. "Move aside."

Citrine looked back at Amethyst. "No."

Amethyst covered her head. "Don't come near me…please….please!" she yelled.

Peridot looked at Amethyst's face, seeing complete and utter fear. Oh no. NO nononono….. She ran to her bags, looking through one of them and throwing out random jars and guns and things. Please still have them, please…

But she didn't find what she was looking for.

Black spots were starting to float in front of Amethyst's eyes, and Peridot saw it. She felt cold air, the rush of it being familiar. She closed her eyes, knowing she couldn't do anything else. She ran at Amethyst, wrestling her to the ground in an embrace. Close your eyes. Don't worry about how awkward this is. Don't be awkward. "DON'T BE AWKWARD." She said out loud.

She felt Amethyst limp underneath her. Peridot let go of her and stared.

Amethyst was slightly smiling, eyes closed, though her face was still, somehow, afraid. Peridot breathed in and out slowly, glad that the girl was okay.

Pearl stood there, looking shocked. Then she looked down at all the thrown about contents of Peridot's bag, shifting away from a curious looking jar with a strange pulsing blue gas inside. "What…just happened?"

Peridot looked back down at Amethyst, who's chest was rising and falling steadily, unlike moments before, where she was struggling to breathe. Peridot looked back up at Pearl, who was starting to freak out about the strange gases and jars of yellow goop.

"We're lucky none of those were broken. Then they all would've come out, scaring Amethyst even more." Peridot said quietly.

"THEY? And what about all those guns?"

"Those are things I have been creating. You…probably wouldn't want to open any of those jars. Or touch any of those guns."

"GUNS. In my house. With a short-tempered girl like YOU?" Pearl whispered.

"Yeah. And maybe if you had LISTENED to my conversation the other day, you MIGHT JUST UNDERSTAND WHY I HAVE THEM!" Peridot yelled.

"SHUT UP!" Garnet yelled from the story below.

Pearl grinned slyly at Peridot. "SEE? THAT'S why you don't YELL."

Peridot huffed. Then she walked down the attic ladder and walked to the second-story bathroom. "You may've won THAT battle, but I still have the shower first, you clod."

Pearl stood there for a minute, a disapproving glare on her face that no one else saw. Then she shook her head at the still unconscious Amethyst. "Oh, what do you see in her?" Then she shook her head. "Just when I started liking you back."

OOH, looks like there is some Amedot vs. Pearlmethyst now!

I bet you can't wait to see what's next!
