What It Means To Be (Rewritten)

by AmberDBoss

SPOILER ALERT IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN HIT THE DIAMOND: What if instead of 5 Rubies coming out of the Tracking Vessel, a completely different type of gem came out, looking for a gem she was separated from over 5000 years ago? Who is she looking for? Will she find her? Or will she find someone else she thought died 5000 years ago? Or will you pass up the opportunity to read this story?

Lapis' POV.

"I'm here Lazuli!" I heard Peridot shout. I smiled, glad she actually showed up.

"Great!" I responded. "Also, call me Lapis."

"Okay, Lapis. Also, Steven asked me if this was a date and Amethyst started laughing and said it was. I had to ask what a date even was!" Peridot told me. My face turned to a dark shade of blue. 'Well, I wish it was' I thought. Then, we made small talk for a while. I really enjoyed talking to her.

"Lapis, do you ever hate me for keeping you prisoner?" She asked.

"No, not anymore."

"When did that change?"

"Well, I realized that you really have changed. You're not the same person you used to be. You're different, and I like that."

"And I like you!"

"And I lo- wait what!"

"Uhh..." I pulled her into a kiss.

Peridot's POV.

I felt my face heat up as she tangled her fingers in my hair. She broke away and smiled. I smiled back. Then, we kissed again, only a lot more passionately. I felt her arms wrap around my neck and I put my hands on her hips. I didn't just feel happy. I felt elated! Then, I backed away and buried my face in Lapis' chest.

"I love you."

"I love you, too."

Lapis' POV.

Soon, she fell asleep. I carried her inside the barn and laid her on the couch. I kissed her on the forehead above her gem.

"Goodnight." I said.

The next day, I woke up to the scent of ocean breeze candles. It didn't take too long to realize who lit them.

"Hi Lapis!" Peridot said.

"Hey Peri!" I responded. I got up and walked up to Peridot and picked her up. I kissed her cheek, and she kissed my forehead. "So, what's the occasion?"

"Oh, can't a gem do something nice for a fellow gem?" She said innocently as she batted her eyelashes. I couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, you win." I said as I pulled her into a quick kiss.

"Aww! I didn't know you guys were dating!" We heard Steven say. We broke away and both of our faces were flushed.

"Steven!" I yelled.

"Go away, you clod!" Peridot shouted.

"Peri!" I shouted. "That's not nice!"

"Oh, it's ok." Steven said cheerfully. "I'll leave."

"Ok, bye!" I said. Once he left, we both started laughing.

"I love you!"

"I love you more!"

"Yeah right!"
