Nobody's POV.

"Guys, for today's mission, we need to split up into groups of two. Pearl and Amethyst, Lapis and Peridot, and me and Steven. Be careful. Lapis and Peridot, Mask island, Pearl and Amethyst, the Kindergarten, and me and Steven will do the strawberry fields. Afterwards, we need to look for Jasper. Now move!" Garnet ordered. We all went to our designated places to check for corrupted gems.

"Why do I have to come? I can't fight!" Peridot complained.

"Well, we could fuse! Then we'll be safer." Lapis said. That wasn't the only reason she wanted to fuse, though.

"Well, okay." She responded. "Why not?" They danced together. Well, Lapis danced. Peridot just watched. As soon as Peridot started dancing, Lapis pulled her into a kiss. Both of their gems glowed and their bodies melded into one.

Aqua's POV.

Wow. That's all I could think. It felt weird but amazing. Then, I saw a corrupted gem.

"Ok, let's do this!"

I summoned a water sword with the water around me. I fought the corrupted monster until it retreated into it's gem. I bubbled it and sent it to the temple. After that, I started feeling weird and unstable. I unfused immediately.

Peridot's POV.

"Why did you do that!" Lapis shouted at me. I had no idea what she was talking about.

"W-what are you talking about?" I asked.

"You just imprisoned that gem without a second thought! You just bubbled it away! Do you even know what it's like to be captured and forgotten like that!"

"Actually, yes. You don't even realize where you are, or that you're even gone. Then when you come back, you don't realise anything happened. I've been in a bubble before, so I would know."

"Are you sure? I just couldn't wish being trapped like I was in the mirror on anybody."

"Yes, I'm sure." Lapis pecked my lips, and then she picked me up and flew off to the temple.

Lapis' POV.

I flew back to the temple and I saw Garnet talking to Pearl, Steven, and Amethyst. I walked in with Peridot still on my back.

"Oh, hey Lapis, Peridot. I found Jasper. She's in the Temple." Garnet said.

"Okay." I said as I set Peridot down.

"Lapis, we made you a room in the temple. Peridot, we also made you one." Garnet said.

"Now you don't have to stay in the barn!" Steven said cheerfully.

"Wow, thanks!" Peridot said at the same time as I said "Thank you!"

"Hey Peri, want to check out my new room with me?" I asked.

"Sure, why not?" Peridot said.

"This room has a lot of water for a gem that's taking a break from water." I heard Peridot say. That was true. My room had a small blue platform with a glass tube. The glass tube had water inside of it that poured out into a pool. There was also water along the sides of the room.

"Well, I changed my mind. I just need to get used to the fact that there's water on Earth and that's not something you can 'take a break' from." I responded.

"Oh, well that's good to hear." She said as she smiled at me. I dipped my feet into the water.

"Well, do you want to see your room?"

"Sure, let's go."

"So, what do you think, Peri?"

"I love it! Do you like it?"

"Totally!" I really did like her room. It was a very dark green with light green stars along the sides. On the floor there was a large green carpet shaped like a star. There was even a desk with Peri's tool bot on it. Then, Steven ran into Peri's room.

"Guys! The vessel is active ad a gem came out of it! Come, quick!" He shouted.
