A/N: Ah, I hope you enjoy and this contains slight Lapis/Peridot. I hope that doesn't bother you and that you like it!

Lapis sighed, as Peridot forced her up the stairs to the T.V. by the hand. She had wanted to fly around for a few hours but Peridot had gotten down on her knees and begged her to come watch something called a "movie Star Wars". Whatever that was. She had planned on saying no but then Peridot had made such a pitiful, sad expression, she relented. It was hard to resist when she had those stars in her wide eyes, the corners of her downturned mouth trembling, her hands clasped together in front of her chest. She's kind of cute like this, she had thought, annoyed by her weakness. It wouldn't be long, anyway, or so she had said. Then again, time with Peridot tended to drag on due to, despite being such a small gem, she had a lot to say. Mainly about Camp Pining and her "ship", how perfect a fusion they'd be, how weaker the other ships were. Honestly Lapis didn't understand half of it, she'd just nod and say "Yeah" or go "Totally sucks, you're right".

When they got upstairs, Peridot raced to the T.V. and started messing around with and the box connected to it. Well, disk player, Steven had tried to explain it to her, Lapis hadn't paid much attention, her thoughts on Jasper and Homeworld at the time. Now things were different and Jasper was gone, supposedly, and Homeworld wasn't nearby so she was now left with nothing to think of. The past is over, she reminded herself, it'll hurt you more to dwell on it. True, she didn't see faces of the past or the Homeworld as much, but she felt them. Felt the feelings they had left. Fear, pain, anger, and most of all, sadness.

She now spent most of her time with the excitable green gem and watching that silly T.V. show thing, Camp Pining. It entertained her to see how humans acted and some of the scenes could be funny. Either way, it occupied her time. She sat down on the floor. She didn't like that sofa or how it felt, not that she'd tell Peridot that. She didn't want to hurt Peridot, not anymore. She had forgiven her (halfway, as much as was possible for her) and tried to move on. Sometimes, she still felt angry towards her, but she was careful never to tell her or let on. She wasn't even really mad at her, it was that looking at her, she was reminded of Homeworld and what they'd done to her, then her thoughts would drift to Jasper and her mind would be clouded with fear, fear, fear, anger, panic. She was brought back to reality when Peridot plopped down beside her, babbling inanely about light "sabers", unbelievable technology, awesome villains, Finn. (Finn of what, she wondered, a dolphin?) Kylo Ren and Rey and Han Solo and "We'll watch the prequels and sequels tomorrow!"

"-And oh, oh, oh wait til you see the fights! They're so cool!" she went on, rocking back and forth, a huge grin on her face.

Lapis had to smile, shaking her head. How had her life become this? She'd never have imagined herself on Earth, an enemy of Homeworld, and watching a human movie with someone she never would have imagined as a friend. Peridot was her friend, no matter what she liked to say or do. Peridot cared for her and watched out for her, comforted her, did things with her. She was like Steven, only... weird, a good kind of weird. She warmed Lapis Lazuli's life with her goofy antics. Her clumsiness, the way she concentrated hard on Camp Pining, mumbling to herself about "silly Pauline, no one likes you, especially not Percy!" and writing nonsensical stories about the characters and posting them on the internet. The way she shouted at her tablet screen if someone said something rude about her story or Percy or Pierre.

It made her happy, she admitted to herself, her breath hitching slightly.

She turned her eyes to the screen and watched, her mind still reeling at the feeling of realizing how much happier she was these days. She watched without fully seeing or hearing, but she had to admit there was something entertaining about these movie things. The characters were cool, especially Finn, who was not a dolphin, but someone who was, in a way, similar to her. She was captivated and paid attention to what he said and did. The others were good, but not as great as Finn, in her opinion. Kylo Ren was also good, she liked how he struggled with the darkness. When they got to the part when Kylo Ren killed his father, she frowned.

"Why is he killing him? Isn't he his father?" she said, and Peridot turned to look at her. "This is wrong, don't humans usually listen and respect their parents? Why is he doing this?" her voice trembled and she bit her lower lip.

"Lapis, it's part of his story. He does this and it hurts him. He ... well, he's a villain for now." she said, tentatively, taking in Lapis' expression, before she continued. "Steven says that this might just be to give the story more emotional drama. It doesn't mean he will be bad always!"

"But he killed his dad!" Lapis shouted and stood up, clenching her fists tightly. "His father loved him and now he's dead! It isn't right!"

Peridot scrambled up and put her hands out in front of her, palms up. "I know, and I think... that's what might help him change. Rey will challenge him in the future movies and whilst fighting her, he will see that there is light. That goodness exists and he'll realize what he did was wrong and... his mother will forgive him... and he'll change. He has to!" she said, her voice trembling, and jutted her chin out.

Lapis looked at her and seeing how nervous Peridot was, her anger melted. It seemed Peridot related to this character, most likely due to him being a villain, and her having been considered one at first by the Crystal gems. Lapis couldn't really fault her for this and if she did like him, well, so be it. She inhaled deeply and exhaled to calm down. She closed her eyes as she did so. Then after a moment or two of deep breathing, she opened her eyes, and made her expression neutral.

"I see. Well, if that's true, I guess I best finish the movie. Go back some, I missed part of it, also, I want to lay down. Put your legs down so I can put my head in your lap." she demanded, coolly, to let Peridot know she was in her usual mood.

Peridot smiled widely and nodded her head, doing as Lapis said. Lapis laid her legs on the soft carpet and with a sigh, put her head in her lap. She's so warm, Lapis thought, and soft. Much softer than I thought she would.

Lapis decided that maybe they should have more nights where they watched movies, after all.

Especially if they were Star Wars movies.
