Also SPOILER ALERT, Lapis and Jasper will make an appearance very soon. :3
Peridot's gem floated up and formed a white, glowing, humanoid figure around it. The figure shapeshifted a bit before stopping at a size a little smaller then Steven.
More shapes formed on the figure before it took colour, dropped to the floor and jumped up.
Peridot was standing there smiling.
"What do ya think?" She asked.
Peridot looked much different then before.
She looked, talked and acted kind of like how a 5 year old would. Her uniform was replaced with a slightly baggy jacket which had neon-green patterns on it and sleeves which ended right at her fingers, which were still floating. Probably a fashion she had come to like. The jacket hung below her waist and so covered any pants she was wearing.
One of the most noticeable things was now she had normal legs. She wore green striped leggings which went from her knees to above her ankles. She wore no shoes.
Peridot's facial appearance hadn't changed much at all. All that had differed was that her visor was gone and she had sharp teeth of which two slightly poked out of her mouth. Her hair was in the same style but looked more fluffy.
"You look.. Different.. In a good way though!" Steven said excitedly while standing up.
Pearl stood up as well. "Yes, I agree. I see you even have normal legs now." She said.
Peridot smiled. "Yep! I kept my fingers tho!"
Amethyst still wasn't talking.
Steven peered down and saw she had fallen asleep on the couch.
Peridot jumped down and looked directly at her face.
"Hallo!" She shouted. Amethyst immediately sat up, the bag of old popcorn falling to the floor.
"Just me!" Peridot laughed. The purple gem facepalmed for falling asleep so quickly.
"So.. Your Peridot right? Not some.. random kid in our.. house?" Amethyst said, looking like she would fall asleep any second.
"Yep! That's me!" The young gem answered.
Amethyst fell on the floor from tiredness and started snoring.
"Hahah! She's sleepy!"
While Peridot continued to try and get amethyst up Pearl thought of an idea.
"Why don't you take her down to the beach Steven? She's gonna have to get rid of all that energy somehow."
"I think Amethyst would like that too." Steven laughed. "One question though.."
"Yes?"
"Will Peridot be staying with us? She could help out with missions and stuff."
Pearl paused for a second. It didn't seem too bad. It would be just like having another Crystal gem except one that has heaps of energy.
"Well I suppose she can stay. It's really up to Garnet though."
Steven smiled.
"Can you talk to her while we're gone?"
"I'll try my best." Pearl said while rubbing Steven on the head.
"Thanks Pearl!" He replied. He gave her a small hug before going to get Peridot.
The green gem was carefully stacking pillows on Amethyst's head while she was sleeping. She really did act like a 5 year old.
"Hey Peridot, you wanna go to the beach?" Steven asked while trying not to laugh at the 3 pillows already stacked on Amethyst.
"Okay!" She replied. "Lead da way!"
Steven smiled before walking out the door with her.
Once they got down the green gem ran into the open space and flopped down on the sand, not seeming to be worried if the sand got on her clothes or in her eyes.
"Haha, it kinda feels weird on my feet." Peridot said.
Steven came and sat down next to her, starting to build a mound of sand.
The young gem saw what he was doing and started to do the same, but it ended up all wonky.
"What are we making?" She asked Steven, watching him make the mound of sand higher.
"They're called sandcastles. You build a big mound of sand and then decorate it."
"Oh, I can do that!"
Peridot used her tractor beam to pick up a huge amount of sand and drop it all in one big place.
"Did I do good?"
Steven stared at the huge mound. It was almost half the size of the temple.
"How can you even lift that much?" Steven asked, staring at the big hill in awe.
"No idea!" Peridot enthusiastically replied.
"Well we should probably get rid of it before the gems see. Otherwise we're in big trouble."
Peridot nodded and used her tractor beam again to put all the sand back.
"Hmm.. I think that's enough beach for today. I'm already getting kinda hungry. Wanna get something to eat?" Steven asked Peridot.
"Okay!" She replied, jumping up and down. It's a surprise she wasn't tired yet.
"Alright, let's go!" Steven said. Peridot followed him.
A particularly large wave rolled onto the beach but neither of them took notice.
