Authers note: wow this is pretty long (you luck dogs) this is based on my head canon that in the company of superiors, peridots are strictly disciplined so she appears a little shy to mr Fryman. Don't worry though, we will have her back to her sassy self in the next chapter. (Also I'm going on the female pronoun nobienary peridot bandwagon as gender is a human thing)

Enjoy and thanks for the lovely reviews ^\\\\\^

"Ok remember the plan if anyone asks you are my Internet friend from out of town who came to help me with a project" the Fryman reminded, peridot took mental note of this and her hands fidgeted nervously in her hoody pocket. She was dressed in Ronaldo's oversize grey hoody and dark green baggy jogging trousers secured with a silver belt.

The disguise was pretty good as the hood Covered her tetrahedron hair, gem and most of her face and the long sleeves and pockets covered her 'hands'. All that worried her was someone noticing her green skin or blue mouth although the sunny weather was making her a tone more yellow which is more subtle.

They were soon a block away from their destination, peridot was busy scanning the odd scenery of the earthly architecture to notice until she felt a nudge on her shoulder catching her attention back to the human walking beside her.

"Ok Peri, if you want you can not talk to my dad if you don't understand human interaction I'll tell them your shy or something." Ronaldo offered before unlocking the back door, she didn't want to admit it but she wasn't feeling the most talkative in this strange place so the shy persona may not be to hard to pull of. As the door was manually opened she stepped inside only to regret doing so at the sight of Ronaldo's Superior.

He was a large male human stomping around the room with what looked like an angry or worried expression, she looked at Ronaldo in confusion as he walked over to greet him, what was he doing? He wasn't needling or even looking down and was speaking before being spoken to? What kind of high class position was this human in? She instantly Ceased her staring at there conversation at the realisation that the 'dad' was looking in her direction in shock making her quickly look down.

"Ronaldo?" The dad started looking at the boy with a smirk "who's this you brought with you son? I didn't know you had a girlfriend!"

At this comment Ronaldo's face flushed dark red as he protested. "Wha? No no no! She's not my girlfriend! She's my Internet friend who came to help me with a project."

Peridot fear rose as the larger human walked towards her and she continued looking down.

"Ha ok son my mistake, so tell me miss you got a name?" Peridot remained silent, what was she suppose to say to that? Was it a slang term or was he expecting her to say yes or no? And what's a girlfriend? What's a girl? She looked to Ronaldo signalling him to assist her.

"Her names Peri Dad" Ronaldo explained much to peridots gratitude "she's kinda shy with new people."

"Oh! I see" the older human noted "well you don't have to talk to if you don't want to, but if you do don't worry, I don't bite!" The man erupted in hearty laughter as the disguised gem relaxed a bit. The security was soon shattered as she sensed high voltage power coming from a metal box Ronaldo was examining, she quickly rushed over to the human pulling him away from it.

"Ronaldo be careful! There's a high voltage contained in this power surging device and could be fatal to a human!" Peridot exclaimed to both the Frymans surprise. "I think I better handle this." She said gently pushing Ronaldo further away from the wall.

"REALY?" The eldest Fryman asked in disbelief at the offer "are you sure you know how to fix this stuff?" Peridot nodded and whispered to Ronaldo.

"Don't worry dad Peri is REALY good with technology, I think she can handle it." Ronaldo reassured only to make the gem blush a little at the compliment, "we should leave and let her do her thing she doesn't like working with people watching." He explained.

After offering her tools which she declined, The two men left the room leaving her in Privacy. The gem quickly scanned the room before pulling down her hood and pushing up her sleeves Revealing her flouting fingers which she then brought to her head to search her hair. She brought out a small blue orb which after placing on the floor and typing on her screen, grew spider like legs and shuttled up the wall. She typed a few keys and the robonoid spurt out a liquid onto the outlet and in a spark of light it was fixed.

Peridot smiled proudly at her handy work and retrieved the robonoid making it back into a orb and putting it back in her hair. She scanned the outlet for discharge before Effortlessly activating the power. Seconds later the lights on the ceiling turned on and the other machines in the room started functioning perfectly.

She returned her disguise to its original form and walked to the door that the two humans disappeared into only to crash into it in habit, "stupid primitive non automatic doors!" She thought as she examined the door, trying to remember how Ronaldo used these strange devises. After awhile she gave up and punched the door with a tiny battle cry before Ronaldo opened it from the other side.

"You ok Peri?" He said with a smirk as the gem nodded with embaresment, the older human looked at her in confusion.

"Your not finished already are you?" He exclaimed in disbelief, she nodded and gestured to the room she was in for proof. Both humans looked in disbelief at the perfectly working powered fry room and the eldest chuckled in glee.

"WOW PERI! I don't know how you did it but I'm impressed!" Ronaldo's dad exclaimed in joy as he examined the good as new power box, "is like its brand new!" Peridot yelped as he hurriedly shook her covered hand in gratitude.

"Thankyou so much Peri! Your a lifesaver! You are welcome to visit anytime while your here! How long are you staying anyhow?" He asked.

The blushfull gem shrugged, using her sleeved arm to cover her green blush and goofy grin. She wasn't at all used to getting this kind of praise from doing her job, but she wouldn't mind getting used to it.

"Why, I haven't introduced myself! You can call me Mr Fryman" Mr Fryman said with a grin before turning to Ronaldo. "Son open up the shop would you? The lunch rush should be here any Minuit" he called with fatherly authority, with an annoyed "fine..." the teen left the room leaving the two to talk alone.

"Thanks again for your help Peri, I'll have Ronaldo take you back to Where you are doing your project thing soon but if you are always welcome back here, maybe one day you could teach us some of your tech skills if you don't mind," the man chucked and soon Peridot and Ronaldo where happily on their way back to the lighthouse.

But back in the Fryman kitchen, the youngest Fryman watched them leave out the window with starry eyes. "Trust Ronaldo to befriend an alien" he muttered to himself before starting his work station
