Chapter 5-Keeping Skills Sharp
After Aquamarine had been given time to fully reclaim her strength, we tried to fuse as we usually had. Thankfully it worked.
'Woah ! You two are immense ! I bet you're really tough. What do you call yourselves ?', Steven asked.
'Labradorite.', we said in harmony. Being a team in unity was the most serene and sacred thing we had experienced in forever. I preferred being with Aqua in this way, but it also helped us to be uniquely independent as well. This is why we sparred daily just in case Beach City was attacked by creatures seeking us out. None of us knew where Peridot was. Lapis and Jasper were at the bottom of the sea; to this day they were still there. We kept a vigil for the other Gems, taking our turns at night to make certain they would remain in the ocean's depths. Somehow I had the feeling that Lapis and Jasper would return, but Lapis wouldn't be fighting against her. Hopefully Lapis would still be on our side. She had tricked Jasper with her cunning and I knew that wouldn't work a second time if the two were seen again.
