"Aaaaaaand here we are." said Steven while pointing out the Arcade.
Lapis was a little bit confused and Peridot was more confused than Lapis.
"I don't get, what does it have that make its so, umm how do you say, awaesoen?" asked Peridot while trying to pronunce the word awesome.
"Well the Arcade has a lot of games that not only entertains me but also entertains everyone in Beach City." explained Steven.
"So the Steven saids that this place is to have fun?" asked a still confused Peridot.
"Yup, and I have enough coins so all of us can play in the Arcade." said Steven while getting coins out of his cheeseburger back pack. Then Steven along with Lapis and Peridot walked inside the Arcade. Inside the Arcade Steven took Lapis to a game where it consisted on dancing.
"Okay Lapis, your objective on this game is to dance according to the arrows they show you, think you can do it?" said Steven while giving Lapis the instructions on how to play the game.
"I think so, I'll give it a try." said Lapis while giving Steven a smile.
"Okay then I'll see you later, I'll go find a game where Peridot can play." said Steven while going with Peridot on a different path.
Then Steven noticed the Buck Dewey and Jenny were watching Sour Cream to playing a game.
"Hey guys!" said Steven while waving at the cool kids.
"Oh hey Steven." said Jenny.
"Yo Steven, how is life treating you." said Buck while noticing Steven black eye.
"I guess not too easy." added Buck.
"Oh man! I was almost on the verge to break the record." complained Sour Cream after losing the game.
"What is the problem?" asked Steven.
"We were trying to break the highest record of this game, but the problem is that is too difficult." said Buck.
"Oh okay then, what kind of game is?" asked once more Steven.
"Its a very complex one, you have remember the combinations that they show you and you lose if you make one single mistake." explained Sour Cream.
Then the cool kids noticed Peridot behind Steven and they were surprised.
"Wow Steven, who is that?" asked Buck.
"She is Peridot, she is a gem just like me, theres also Lapis Lazuli who is playing a game over there." explained Steven while pointing out where Lapis was dancing.
"Woah, she is awesome." awed Sour Cream.
"Yeah I know right, but anyway I think I can help you win this game." said Steven.
"Really? How?" asked Sour Cream.
"She can help you." said Steven while pointing out at Peridot.
"Wait, what?!" said a confused Peridot.
"Are you sure Steven?" asked Jenny.
"Umm, The Steven is sure about this?" added Peridot.
"Yeah, don't worry Peridot I know you can beat this game since you are the smartest gem on Homeworld right? Besides even if you make one mistake you will still be my friend and you will still be the smartest even though I don't think you will make a single mistake." answered Steven.
Peridot didn't know what to say, she was feeling something unusual in her. She began to feel that for the first time even if she DID make a mistake they will still support her.
"Okay, if the Steven says I can do it then I will do it." said Peridot while getting ready to play the game.
"Okay Peridot, you know what to do right?" said Steven.
"Yes. I should put the pieces on their right place before time runs out and not make a single mistake, right?" said Peridot.
"Yeah." said Steven.
Then the game began and Peridot was seeing where the pieces could fit. She began to make moves with the controls that nobody couldn't understand, Peridot was so concentrated with the game that they didn't notice that Peridot already broke the highest record.
"Woah Peridot, its okay its okay, you already broke the highest record." said Steven.
"Should I stop now?" asked Peridot.
"Yeah." added Steven. Then Peridot released the controls and the time run out, but that didn't matter because she already achieved the highest record.
"Wow, that was pretty rad." said Buck.
"Umm, may the Steven tell me what does rad means?" asked Peridot.
"It means you are pretty cool." answered Steven.
"According to my data, my temperature is normal and I'm not in any danger on getting freeze." said Peridot misunderstanding the concept of cool.
"No, no, no it means that you are pretty awesome." explained Steven.
"Oh." said Peridot while blushing a little bit
30 minutes Later...
Steven, Lapis and Peridot all said goodbye to the Cool Kids and left the Arcade.
"So did everyone enjoy their time in the Arcade?" asked Steven.
"It was pretty interesting, I didn't know humans have such a good taste in dancing." said Lapis.
"What about you Peridot?" asked Steven.
"The Arcade as the Steven said it was pretty, umm...fun?" said Peridot trying to find the correct term for describing the Arcade.
"So where are we going next, Steven?" asked Lapis.
"Hmmm, I think I might have an idea, but for that then we are going back to my house." said Steven.
"Awww, is the fun day over already?" said a depressed Lapis.
"No, no. I just want to show you something after that we are going to get the bits." said Steven.
Lapis and Peridot didn't understood the final words of Steven but they decide to follow him.
Steven, Lapis and Peridot arrived to the house and the Crystal Gems still hadn't return yet.
"(Good, they aren't here yet.)" thought Steven.
"Okay now that we are here, Lapis would you please pass me the photo that is in there?" asked Steven while pointing out the painting of Rose Quartz, Steven mom.
"Of Course Steven." answered Lapis. Then the gem of Lapis began glow and grew out a pair of wings on her back, Steven was amazed by such performance and so it was Peridot.
"Here you go." said Lapis while handing the painting to Steven.
"Thanks Lapis." said Steven.
"But I don't get why do you need it?" asked Lapis while making disappear her wings.
"The reason why I need this painting is to tell you about my mom, Rose Quartz." answered Steven.
Peridot and Lapis were surprised that Rose Quartz manage to have a son. They thought the act of having childs was impossible since the gems don't have any organs.
"But if she is your mom, then where is she?" asked Lapis.
"Thats a long story, but I'll tell you." said Steven. After that Steven began talking about how Greg met Rose and how she manage to have Steven. Lapis and especially Peridot were shocked after hearing that story.
"Wow, that is...beautiful." said Lapis breaking the awkward silence, however Peridot was still in shock.
"Yeah it truly is awesome, but thats not the real reason why I brought you here." said Steven.
"Then what is the reason?" asked once again Lapis.
"I want both of you to join the Crystal Gems." revealed Steven.
After hearing that Peridot finally got out of the trance after hearing the sentence of Steven.
"Listen, I know that you don't believe on Earth and you still don't trust the Crystal Gems but there are a lot of things in Earth that makes it so beautiful. My Mom fight and even betray her own kind just to protect it, meaning that in Earth there are things that are worth to protect like Life. Lapis it doesn't matter what they say about you okay? You will always be my Beach Summer Fun Buddy even after the incidents of the past I never have a single trace of me hating you or disliking you, I'll always believe in you and will always help you." explained Steven.
Lapis didn't know what to feel, she felt happy that she cried of joy and hugged Steven.
"Oh Steven, you don't need to say this to me. I already know that you care about me. You were the first person that talk to me, help me, forgave me about the mistakes I made, and willing to support me even if I make bad things. Steven, for you I will join the Crystal Gems, and fight on your side to protect this planet." answered back Lapis with tears on her eyes while giving Steven a hug.
Peridot was surprised by the speech of Steven. For the first time she saw that Steven doesn't see the bad in people and knew the Lapis was right about Steven. Suddenly Steven broke the hug with Lapis and he walk to Peridot.
"As for you Peridot, even if you still see me as your enemy you should know that I don't see you as my enemy or even the enemy of my home or family. You may think that this planet is not worth it, but trust me it is beautiful this planet along with the many people, animals that live in it. Not only that but I also believe in you, I will protect you and support you always. Remember if you make mistakes I will not get angry, because from mistakes we learn on not doing it again and change the error, because every mistakes turn into a huge beneficial gift, and I believe that you are our beneficial gift." said Steven.
Peridot didn't know what to say, but she only decide hug Steven.
"If its for The Steven, then I shall join the Crystal Gems." said Peridot while crying and hugging Steven. Steven then opened his left arm and waved at Lapis to come with him. Lapis understood the message and went to hug Steven and Peridot.
"Thank you Lapis and Peridot." said Steven.
Then after a while they finally broke the hug and stand up.
"When Pearl, Garnet and Amethyst gets back, we are going to tell them okay, but first I believe its time to relax a little bit and continue our fun day!" said Steven regaining his fun personality.
"Heh, Okay Steven." said Lapis while laughing a little bit.
After that Steven, Lapis, and Peridot got out of the house and proceed to go to the city continuing their fun day as Crystal Gems and Beach Summer Fun Buddies.
