The sun shone through the glass windows of the lighthouse as peridot woke up with confusion, she mentally slapped herself for falling asleep like that after all sleep is a waste of time, time that could be used working. Getting up from her warm blanket hideout she moved to the other side of the room, glancing at the resting human she opened her screen and unlocked her personal log date folder.
"Peridots personal Log date 705, this is peridot recording day... 35? On earth." She whispered to the screen "It appears that the crystal clods are a lot more deadly than I planned when confronting them, as they apparently have plans to... Kill me."
Peridot shuddered at the memory but continued, "I have begrudgingly gained the help of the Steven who saved me from being killed by his team mates, and two humans. the human Connie supplied my hideout with text on flat layered surfaces called 'books' and the other human referred to as Ronaldo is allowing me to hide in his 'light house' (I believe the name refers to the spinning light inside)"
Peridot looked up at said light in confusion deciding to ask Ronaldo about its purpose later when he wakes up. Her eyes returned to her screen. "It looks like my plan for now is to lie low until I get a response from homeworld... End of log date."
Peridot walked back to the blanket hideout, finding herself oddly drawn to it. Maybe she liked the secure feeling of being in the softness of blankets hidden from sight, safe from any danger in her warm little nest. The gem couldn't help but smile as she returned to the blanket fort, curling up contently as she scrolled through her available data waiting for the human to wake up. She has read it all three times by now and was getting bored, normally she would log into homeworlds massive data storing coding but there was sure to be no connection from here right?
Curiosity overcame her as she used her tech to attempt to find a link from somewere only to be shocked from the search being successful. After a few seconds of loading and decoding a website called GOOGLE appeared on her screen.
*giggle*
Ronaldo awoke to held back laughing and turned to the blanket fort to see a grinning, giggling peridot. After putting on his glasses the see through screen allowed him to see the familiar layout of youtube.
"Whatcha watching?"
Peridot jumped at his voice and returned the screen to its hand form. "I was bored while you were sleeping so I gained access to your data sharing network... For research." She fibbed.
Ronaldo raised his eyes at this and smirked "sure... Well I'm up now" he removed his glasses from his face to polish them on his shirt as they were a bit blurred, the gem's head tilted in curiosity at this.
"Ronaldo, why do you were those lenses? Is it some form of uniform?" She questioned
"Oh you mean my glasses? These help me to see, without them everything's out of focus."
"So do other humans know about that?"
"Of course"
"And there ok with it?"
"What? Why wouldn't they- wait.." Ronaldo held a hand as a theory calculated in his head. "Is impaired vision Outlawed or something on you home planet?"
Peridots eyes widened in shock at the question, how much about homeworld did this human know? Then again it was Probably a shot in the dark on his behalf, even so she would have to be less obvious about these things or he'll learn even more and be a Potential threat to homeworld, though he is just a human right? She cleared her Throat looking away in shame.
"No comment"
Ronaldo eyed her suspiciously, he'd seen this kind of thing millions of times in Sci-fi movies, tyrant alien leaders, harsh government rules, a wave of sympathy washed over him at the realisation that this 'home world' that she's from most likely isn't the most excepting of planets if something as small as impaired vision is considered something to keep Secret from anyone. Ronaldo opened his mouth to say something comforting but was interrupted my his phone buzzing. Peridot jumped at the unfamiliar noise with a yelp and ronaldo picked up the device, signalling the gem to be quiet before answering it.
"Hello?"
"RONALDO?! SON IT'S TERRIBLE WE HAVE A SITUATION THE POWER BLEW A FUSE IN THE SHOP AND THE LUNCH RUSH IS IN LESS THAN AN HOUR!"
The young Fryman winced at his dads volume
"Dad calm down just call the electrician and-"
"THERE'S NO TIME! RONALDO! YOU KNOW TECHNOLOGY HELP US! You must put your project on hold FRYMAN DUTY CALLS!"
And electronic beep signalled the end of the conversation and the blogger rolled his eyes.
"Ok stay here I'll be back soon I think."
He started to make his way to the door but was stopped by flouting fingers gripping his shirt pulling him back.
"RONALDO YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME HERE WHAT IF THE CRYSTAL GEMS FIND ME?" Peridot exclaimed in fear.
Ronaldo pondered for a Minuit until an idea formed into a plan.
"Why don't I take you with me... In DISGUISE?"
