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?

11. Chapter 11

Hey guys! This might be the last I update until next Friday:(. I going to camp. I'm most likely going to camp twice this summer, so I won't be able to update then. Sorry about that! Also, this story will most likely be done by the end of summer but there are no promises. Thanks to: I am Lapis Lazuli, Thenordic5forever96, Nightshade1712, NightmareOnElmStreetFan, X-x-The-all-seeing-eye-xX and RandomWriter197.

Nobody's POV:

"Hi Amber. I'm Lapis Lazuli, but you can call me Lapis." Lapis introduced.

"Hi Lapis. It's nice to meet you." She said. Then, Amber noticed Peridot. "Who are you?"

"I'm Peridot." She said.

"Yeah, Peri's a bit of a clod." Lapis said jokingly, making Peridot glare at her.

"What does clod mean?" Amber asked.

"Honestly, I have no idea." Peridot said.

"Kinda like you don't know what 'Emma' means?" Emerald said as she looked at Amber and smiled.

"For the last time, Emerald, Emma is a human name that means a beautiful woman." Amber explained.

"Oh, so now you think I'm beautiful?" She teased. Amber's face turned pink.

"Shut up!" Amber yelled embarrassed.

"Hello Amber, Emerald. It's nice to see you guys again." Garnet said. "I suppose you've met Amethyst. You already know Pearl. Steven's the one who healed your gem." She said the last part as she gestured to Steven.

"Thanks Steven!" Amber said to Steven.

"No problem!" Steven said.

"So, do you guys want rooms in the temple? I can get them done by tonight if you guys help." Garnet offered Amber and Emerald. They both nodded.

"Okay. Let's get started." Garnet said.

---

"Wow, creating our rooms was easier than expected." Amber said.

"Yeah, it was pretty fast." Emerald said, seeming very distracted.

"Okay, what's wrong? I can tell something's wrong."

"Well, being here brought back memories of the war back."

"Oh, I can see why. Do you wanna sleep it off?"

"How do you sleep?"

"Well, I can show you.

---

"I'm not kidding Lapis, stop calling me a clod!" Peridot shouted. Lapis had been calling Peridot a clod all day.

"No way! You look really cute when you're mad." Peridot looked away as her cheeks turned red. Lapis pulled Peridot into a kiss. Peridot shifted to sit in her lap as Lapis tangled her fingers in Peridot's hair. The kiss got more passionate until they broke away blushing.

"I love you, you clod."

"I love you too, Periclod"
