Tiger Eye stared directly at Azurite, "I wonder if she can see me through yer eyes."
"I am sure that she would wonder why you tried to hurt my friends who bubbled you," Azurite said, "But that's all over. Here, let me do something for you."
The blue-eyed gem cut the restraints around Tiger Eye, "Why would ya do that? I could attack ya."
"You wouldn't," Azurite smiled, "You are too kind."
Tiger Eye blushed, but couldn't control herself as she wrapped her arms around Azurite, placing her lips on hers. Vexus stared at the two, Azurite was obviously not into it, but Tiger Eye wouldn't stop. The small green gem pushed them apart and looked at Azurite angrily.
"Why did you kiss me, I am with Vexus!" Azurite said, exasperated.
"Because I still love ya," Tiger Eye frowned.
"I am not my mom!" Azurite said, slapping Tiger Eye's cheek.
Tiger Eye walked backwards and ran out the front door, slamming it shut. Azurite stared at her feet, why couldn't she have met her mom in the real world? She calmed herself down and walked out the front door. Tiger was sitting on the bench with her head to her knees.
"Sorry for slapping you, I was just a little bit angry," Azurite said.
"It's okay," Tiger Eye said, lifting her head, "I didn't mean to make ya feel so darned bad."
The two hugged as Azurite spoke, "Let's be friends."
"Sure," Tiger Eye replied.
Vexus took a long sigh, she was going to have to give her lover a lot of kissing to wash that taste out of her mouth.
A week later, Tiger Eye was known as Tiger and wore retro cowgirl gear. She had a sleeveless cow spot vest and fringed boots. Vexus cut her hair short and she looked like a completely different gem.
"What's happening here?!" Emerald communicated as she rushed through the door, "Why is she here!"
"Uh… Hi, my name is Tiger. Sorry for fighting ya earlier," Tiger winced as Jewel rushed in after Emerald and pulled out her spear.
Azurite walked over, "It's okay guys, she is good now."
"Okay," Jewel said, putting her spear away.
"Are you sure? She put up a really strong fight," Emerald frowned as Azurite nodded, "Alright, let's shake hands for a truce."
Tiger put her hand in Emerald's and felt the strength she had, she could easily destroy her. She held it firmly for a minute and let go.
"Truce," Emerald communicated.
"Truce," Tiger said.
"The more the merrier!" Azurite smiled, holding Vexus' hand.
"Yup!" the little green gem said.
