Some time had passed since the conversation with garent and the gems.
Steven had just gotten home.
It's only 7:00pm?
Lapis kept her thoughts to herself.
Steven walked over to climb up to his 'room' but stopped when he saw lapis was still there.
"Lapis?" he started.
Lapis turned to face him casually.
"hey steven." she smiled.
Steven looked left and right as if looking for something.
"Wheres peridot?"
A 'thud' sound rang through the room, followed by a "Im okay!" from peridot.
Lapis chuckled. "She didn't know what a shower was, so I let her explore.
"Ow hot Hot HOT!" Steven could hear peridot shout from the bathroom.
"You have to turn it the other way for cold!" Steven called back.
Lapis smiled. "The gems said that we could stay." she said happily.
Stevens eyes turned to stars. "Really?! That's awesome!" He said hanging his head over the side of his room floor to look at lapis.
"We can make you guys your own room, and teach you stuff, and go out for pizza!" The boy cheered in enthusiasm.
Lapis just smiled back at the boy. "maybe steven."
A few minutes pasted, steven had fallen asleep in his bed.
the bathroom door cracked open. "uh hey lapis...?" a small voice called out.
Lapis walked over a few yards to the door. "Hm?"
"I think theres a problem..."
"what?"
"this 'shower', it, has done something to my hair."
"just come out peri, I wont laugh."
"errr, okay..."
Peridot walked out, she had her limb enhancers on, of course.
Though when lapis looked up at her face peridot's hair was not in its triangle shape.
It was down, it hung around her face and waved down her shoulders, one strand hung in her face.
Lapis blushed dark blue.
"Is it bad?" peridot asked innocently.
"n-no, its, its amazing..."
"What-" peridot started to talked but stopped when lapis brushed the one hair out of her face. Their faces were so close now, only inches apart.
"Lapis I-"
"Don't talk." Lapis said promptly.
Peridots face turned a dark green.
Lapis pulled peridot closer, peridot was shocked and her mouth gaped slightly.
"I think its cute- no, hot..."
Lapis kissed peridot.
Peridot froze.
Before they had knew it, it had been ten minutes, then fifteen, then twenty.
Peridot broke away. "Lapis... air..."
Lapis chuckled. "Oh, sorry." She smiled.
After peridot caught her breath lapis opened the bathroom door and motioned for peridot to join her.
"Well you want me to fix your hair right?" Lapis asked.
"uh how?" peridot walked in the small room.
"here," Lapis put the toilet lid down. "sit on this."
Peridot did as she was told.
Lapis picked up a comb and a hair dryer.
"What are those for?" Peridot asked confused.
"To fix your hair silly!" Lapis held the dryer in one hand and the comb in the other.
"hm... So you have wavy hair... well do you want to have it up or down?" Lapis asked.
"uh, I don't know, whatever you think is best..."
"Down it is then!"
"err, you know what your doing right?"
"Of course peri!"
Lapis took the dryer and held it to peridots wet hair. She combed the front back with swift movements. Peridot tensed up a little with the action.
"This,feels,weird." She said inbetween lapis's movements.
Lapis moved down to the sides of peridots hair. She combed them down and to the back.
After a few mintues and some hair gel she was done.
"well what do ya think, peri?" Lapis motion toward the mirror in the bathroom.
Peridot gasped.
Her once-pointy hair was wavy and shiny, it framed her face. It was parted on the side with the hair sweeping over from the front of the face to the side. The long waves lay around her shoulders.
"I- I love it..." she said than turned to lapis.
"Thank you." She smiled, Peridot smiled.
Lapis smiled back. "No prob bob."
Peridots face went blank.
"It's peridot."
They both laughed and walked outside the bathroom.
Lapis looked at peridot. "Have you ever seen a sunset?"
"sun-set?" peridot asked tilting her head to the side.
"Follow me peridot." Lapis walked outside to the beach.
Peridot follow cautiously.
"here, sit here." lapis sat down next to the water.
Peridot sat down next to the ocean gem and faced the oceans clear blue water.
"Lapis? Why is the sky pink?"
Lapis chuckled.
"that's the sunset peri." She pointed to the red sun that was only half visible from the water.
"Inst it beautiful, peridot?"
peridot smiled out toward the vast waters.
"Yeah, I guess it really is, lapis..."
