I'M BACK NOW

Disclaimer in chapter one.

Peridot looked at her watch. 3:00. They should be here soon.

She smiled as her two favorite customers walked into her cyber cafe. "Hey Purple!" She called. "How's college been treatin' you?"

Garnet smiled. "Same as the other 283.5 times you asked."

Pearl laughed. "I've been meaning to ask, where did .5 come from?" She asked.

"That's the time I cut her off." Garnet said.

"So, Purple, what can I getcha?" Asked Peridot.

"I'll just have apple juice. Not too hungry today Pear sorry." Garnet said.

"Okey-dokey! And you Pearl?" Peridot questioned, turning to Pearl.

"I'll just have a salad." Pearl said smiling.

As Peridot turned away to prepare their orders, Pearl leaned into Garnet and whispered to her. "Garnet, cover for me. She left her laptop open and I want to read what's onscreen."

Garnet smiled mischievously. "Okay." She whispered.

Peridot slid their orders across the counter. "And here you are!"

Garnet took a sip of her apple juice. "So Pear, have you gotten that new game console yet?" She asked, making polite conversation while providing a distraction for Pearl to read Peri's open laptop.

Peridot groaned. "NO! I went to the store with all my money, and they told me it was sold out! I couldn't beleive it! I don't want to play Pokemon Moon on a 3ds!"

Garnet sighed sympathetically. "What's the system called again?" She asked.

Peridot flopped on the counter. "Nintendo Switch, codenamed NX."

Pearl turned away from the computer. "You know Peridot, writing shipping fanfictions about your best friends without asking is kind of rude."

Peridot looked at her open laptop and blushed. "Um, t-thats,"

Garnet laughed. "Well I'd love to stay and watch how this plays out, but I've got to go. I'm meeting Amethyst in ten."

Pearl smiled. "Okay, see you tonight! And about that fanfiction Peridot..."
