"Ruby, do you really forgive, Pearl?" Sapphire asked "What about you, Garnet?" the three sat in the Burning Room. Lying on their back as they watched the bubbles filled with fallen comrades circle the room.

"I… I… I don't know." Garnet clenched her fist angrily as she removed her shades, shutting her eyes as she forced back tears.

"I can hold a grudge forever; you of all people know that, Sapphire." Ruby said.

"If someone had done that to Rose, Pearl would've been furious! She used us and as much as I want to scream and yell I can't because I've already said I forgive her. That part is true, I do forgive her. I just don't trust her anymore."

"I… I understand." Sapphire turned onto her side; playing with debris on the floor as she laid on her left arm.

"If I ever did something like that with another gem, what would you do, Sapphire?" Ruby stood up and paced the floor.

"Do you really want to know, Ruby?" Sapphire said stopping Ruby's pacing. A single nod was all she gave as response.

"I'd destroy you." Sapphire said monotone and serious.

"Well so much for love." Ruby spat.

"I do love you, enough not to let you hurt yourself." Sapphire said sternly.

"Oh, so you'll hurt me instead? So the whole fight we had was pointless?! You agreed with me the whole time but you still played with me? You're just like Pearl!" Ruby's eye twitched in anger.

"Don't do this, Ruby." Sapphire said sensing Ruby's anger boiling over.

"I'd never hurt you but you'd hurt me? Well fine then!" Ruby split apart from Sapphire; both hitting the ground harshly. "I can hurt myself better than you can!" Ruby said with tears streaming her face; before running out of the room.

"Ruby," Sapphire yelled, an outstretched hand slowly receding to her lap. "That's not what I meant…"

Sapphire: In case you wonder how I feel about you baby,

You see it's hard to explain, as for most of the time I keep quiet.

Ruby sat on top of the temple's head.

Ruby: Sometimes I want to kiss ya.

Other times wish I could hit ya.
One day we're hot,

Sapphire: next day we're cold,

Both: I swear that we should have our own reality show.
You're my Monday and my Friday. You're my Monday and my Friday.

I can't stand ya. Then I love ya, can't figure out why babe.

You're my Monday and my Friday

I know sometimes we get a little crazy

But I wouldn't have it any other way, than me and you, baby.

You're my Monday and my Friday.

You're my Monday and my Friday.

Both: I love you.

Both began to cry harder as they realized the mistakes they'd both made; pride and fear of rejection engulfing them.

Hours later Sapphire sat in the living room reading a book with Amethyst sitting beside her, awkwardly scoping her out.

"Uuuh," Amethyst tried to start a conversation but, how could she? Sapphire wasn't Garnet and she felt like she'd already know what she was going to say anyway "Hows the book?" Amethyst's eyes widened awaiting a response

"its fine." Sapphire said flipping to the next page. At that moment Steven and Ruby walked in and Steven immediately looked at Sapphire, never breaking her gaze from her book.

"Um, hi… guys?" Steven said looking around awkwardly.

"Hello, Steven." Sapphire said ignoring Ruby. Ruby's heat radiate from atop her head as she clenched her fists angrily as Sapphire flipped another page. Silence, not a single word was said. Ruby never took her eyes off Sapphire; while Sapphire kept her eye on her book

"So you don't see me?" Ruby said clenching her fists harder in anger. Sapphire flipped another page in her book.

"I can see you, Ruby." Sapphire said placing her index to her temple.

"Then look at me!" Ruby stomped her foot angrily. Sapphire closed her book and turned to Ruby.

"Don't upset Steven." Sapphire said calmly but stern.

"Steven! STEVEN!" Ruby angrily grabbed her head and bulged her eyes out.

"What?!" Steven said, he'd been hiding behind Amethyst since the bickering had started.

"I wasn't talking to -! Uh! Oh hohoho! While we're on the subject of STEVEN, WHY DID STEVEN HAVE TO COME GET ME!? I'm not in a relationship with STEVEN!" Ruby walked over to Sapphire who immediately levitated onto Steven's bed.

"Even if I were to speak to you about what happened you wouldn't have listened." Sapphire turned away from Ruby, "You never listen. Even when you know I'm right you won't admit it."

"So this is about you being right?! Sapphire… if I didn't love you I'd… I'd!" Ruby summoned her boxing glove and slammed her fist into the ground; angrily staring at Sapphire. Sapphire looked at Ruby as she stood and levitated down to only a few feet away from the angry red gem.

"You'd do what?" Sapphire said pushing her bang away as she glared at Ruby.

"Don't you question me! You don't even know what you'd do!" Ruby spat.

"Yes I do!" Sapphire yelled angrily.

"And what's that?" Ruby said shakily as she tried to force back tears.

"I'd still love you!" Sapphire said as tears streamed from her eye. I'm upset and angry and it'll take time. Not just for what Pearl did but for us to mend our bond." Sapphire stepped away from Ruby. "I'm sorry, but I'm scared… I'm scared and I don't know how to fix this. Maybe we're so close we just need time apart." Sapphire held her face as she cried even harder.

"Ugh! You- Why even- I can UGH!" Ruby can out the door as Pearl was about to open it.

"Oh, um… Hello, Sapphire." Pearl smiled sadly her stressed expression evident. She'd been searching for Peridot for weeks now and wasn't emotionally ready to deal with anything.
Sapphire looked at Pearl and ran to her room; the blue gem lighting up.

Steven ran to the warp pad with tears streaming his face. "This has been the worst birthday ever!"

Author's end note: I know what you're thinking, "WHY?!" Because I got big plans for the story. This idea has been slapping me on the brain and aggravating me so I had to bring it to life. I have no plans of ending this story any time soon, and want it to be as realistic as every relationship, be it real or fake, that couples have fights. But if the love is real it never ends.

Quote of the day: Love is an infinity of anger, frustration, and trust. Who would want it any other way?
