Hey this is my first fanfic ever and I just really wanted to do a how lapis got stuck in the mirror story. Sorry if this chapter doesn't seem too long I just wanted to kinda do a introduction first and if this story does well I'll of course continue but please leave a review and let me know what you guys think thanks .
The scent of the ocean hung heavy in the air that Lapis Lazuli was breathing in even though gems, of course, didn't need to essentially breath. It feels like it's been forever since the gems found Malachite at the bottom of the ocean and bubbled Jasper and since then Lapis has felt strangely alone. It's true they didn't like or trust each other but Jasper was, in some sense, a relief from her complete and utter loneliness that she felt back at Homeworld. The gems, aside from Steven of course, still didn't quite trust Lapis even after everything she's been through, after everything she's done for them and it just made her so infuriated. The waves in the ocean started to pick up as she got angrier and Steven noticed this while he was looking out the window.
"Hey Lapis what you doing?" Lapis immediately calmed at the sound of Steven's voice. "Oh hey Steven what you doing out here? It's kinda cold today you don't wanna get sick right?" "Oh yeah you're right hold on don't go anywhere I'll be right back O.K?" Lapis smiled as Steven ran to the house, no amount of anger can make her take it out on Steven, he was innocent in this and she owes him everything for letting her out of the mirror, besides he's her only friend right now she can't afford to lose him. Lapis sat in the soft sand looking out into the seemingly endless ocean absorbing the beauty of it. Her mind wandered to memories of what Homeworld used to be, how happy she was, how much she misses what her home was, but now she doesn't even recognize it, now her memories seem like an old fairytale she used to live. The sound of thudding footsteps snapped her out of her thoughts and she looked to see Steven in a red, hooded jacket with an bright yellow star on it of course.
"I'm back, so what do you think, pretty cool right it was in dad's old stuff." She looked him over. "Yeah Steven it looks really good on you, so was there anything you wanted to talk about?" Steven looked down at the sand, he seemed nervous about something. "Well yeah kind of, I was just wondering something. Well how did you get stuck in the mirror exactly but you don't have to tell me if you don't want to." Steven looked up at Lapis hopefully and slightly curious. Lapis smiled half heartedly at Steven, a hint of sadness hidden in her eyes. "I'll tell you but it's a really long story." She warned, "You might wanna sit down for it or your legs might fall off from tiredness." Steven sat down quickly and looked up at Lapis, eager to hear her story. "Well I guess I should probably start when I was still in Homeworld"...
