Ruby walked downstairs. Her mother was sitting at the table drinking tea while, reading a article on yahoo. Ruby walked over to the fresh coffee that was already made. She was taking her time to go to Sapphire house since it took Sapphire forever to get ready. It took Sapphire 30 minutes to get up out of bed so, it took even longer for her to look as nice as she always did.

Ruby mother looked up and smiled at her daughter.

'' Good morning, Ruby.'' Her mother greeted with a sunshine smile.

'' Hi mom.'' Ruby greeted back.

'' So, guess what your father and I are doing this weekend.''

'' I don't know, what?''

'' Your father family is having a Valentines Day get together. And I was thinking you should come with your friend you always hang out with.''

'' I dunno. Sapphire doesn't seem to be into things like that.'' Ruby lied. Sapphire was totally the person to bring to things like that but, Ruby honestly didn't want to go since she didn't and wasn't ready to see her step dads whole family in one day.

'' Her name sounds like she likes things like that. And it'll be a good way for me too meet her.''

'' I'll ask her.''

'' That's the spirit!''Her mother rejoiced. '' I'll see you after school, okay.''

'' Kk.''

'' And remember to her a nice day.''

'' I'll try no promises.''

'' So, what's a get together?'' Sapphire asked.

Sapphire stood next to Ruby locker while, Ruby got her things for there next class.

'' It's kinda like where everyone meets up together and hangs out.''

'' What's the point?''

Ruby thought about it for a little bit. '' I really don't know. We can add it too the list of things we don't know.'' Ruby teased. Sapphire giggled.

Ruby and Sapphire had a joke about a list of things they didn't know. Since, Sapphire asked a lot of questions and most people didn't know the answer they added it too a list. Most adults and google didn't even know the answer. That's what made it funny.

'' Oh my god.'' Ruby panicked.

'' What's wrong?'' Sapphire asked.

'' I totally forgot to fresh my project thingy.''

'' Oh, I can help you with that.''

'' Sapphire, you don't have too. I'll find another way too-''

'' No no. This is something I can help you with.'' Sapphire said. '' Stay here.'' She then bolted out leaving.

Jasper sighed looking down at her pencil. Amethyst didn't speak to her the whole time they sat across from each other. Amethyst was mostly talking to losers. And she seemed like she was enjoying herself since she didn't even look up to her and say something. It was so bad, that Jasper learned something in the class.

'' Hey.'' Jasper said. Amethyst turned around and rolled her eyes.

'' What?''

'' I wanted to talk.''

'' About, what?''

'' Like, how we normally do.''

'' So? What you want to say.''

'' Sorry.'' Jasper mumbled.

'' Sorry can't change that the person I like rejected me because of your stupidity.'' Amethyst said crossing her arms.

'' I said sorry millions of times to you and Sapphire. And both of you kept denying me. What am I suppose to do?''

'' Maybe sorry isn't enough.'' Amethyst said back coldly and went to a different table leaving Jasper alone to her self. Jasper sighed and decided to take a walk around the school. She only did that when she needed to think.

And what she was thinking about was when everything changed. Everyone used to adore her. Everyone wanted her to sit with them, be with them and so on. But, now it was like everyone hated her. And to top it all off with a strawberry all on top her own best friend didn't like her anymore. Her own best friend turned her back on everything they work hard on to get to the top. ''When did everything change?'' Jasper asked herself millions of times.

Jasper walked past the science room. Then, she backed up. She looked threw the door window to see Sapphire staring at something. And before Jasper knew it she couldn't believe it. It was unheard of. Supernatural. Something no one would believe into she saw it. And Jasper saw it.

Sapphire pasted back and forth. She was deciding what to used. Should she use magic or you her ice powers. Magic would be cheating but, ice powers wouldn't. Or would it be? She had know idea since she didn't pay attention in there. It wasn't needed cause she was science. 15 year old girl with the power to make anything cold, frosted, frozen and everything. Could ruin a planet with one touch. But, Magic made thing permitted. It didn't wear off. Anything touched by magic would come off unless. Unless you had a strong enough power to do so. And Sapphire wasn't strong enough. Or that strong.

Sapphire took off her white right glove and snapped her finger. A white blue bottle appeared in her hand. Sapphire took off the cap rubbed it on her hands and focused on the object. And when with the raised of hand finger it was done. Her beautiful work Sapphire called it always.

'' Sapphire, you wouldn't believe-'' Rose started running loud inside the room.

'' The most amazing thing that's going to happen!'' Pearl finishing with Rose started behind her running inside the room.

'' Please tell me thing is good news.'' Sapphire said.

'' HOMECOMING IS NEXT MONTH!'' They both said her harmony loud.

'' Oh, Sapphire. How I can't wait!'' Rose said. '' How the person I love spends the whole night with me. And when the slow dance songs come on were the perfect couple dancing together. As he run his fingers threw me long pink curls. Gives me the most sweetest smile making me blush. And when it turns 12:00 we kiss.''

'' That's a dream.'' Sapphire said.

'' It is.'' Rose fantasy.

'' That's just one of the many things she dreams about Sapphire. You have no clue. She's been dreaming about this since 3rd grade.'' Pearl explained.

'' That's long. What do you image going to happen in homecoming?'' Sapphire asked.

'' Nothing much since I'm not going with anyone. Probably, stand near the punch ball and dance by myself in the corner with everyone else.''

'' Why aren't you going with anyone?''

'' Someone asked me, it's just I don't know if she going to be just like Jasper. And I don't want you to be uncomfortable.''

Sapphire frowned. '' You should go with her. Give her a chance.'' Sapphire said. ''And don't worry about me, I'm really good with small talk.'' She teased both of them giggling.

'' Thanks Sapphire. Your a really go best friends.''

'' No problem.''

Ruby and Sapphire walked down the hallway. Since, the teacher said they could leave class early for last period. They were going to get there stuff and hang out at pizza hut. Which was hard to explain what a pizza hut was since Sapphire asked. Though, Ruby wanted to ask Sapphire a important question about them. Or tell her. She wanted to tell her that she liked her. A lot. And the only way she was going to be able to do so, was to share a 8 piece pizza between them.

'' And then when she pug it in, the whole thing went in sprinkles. And her hair went it like a pineapple.'' Ruby said. Both her and Sapphire laugh so hard there belly buried.

'' Oh my god, that's the most funny story I've ever heard.'' Sapphire said between laughs.

'' Trust me, Sapphire. There more to come.'' Ruby said between laughs too. '' Tell me a funny time.''

'' There was this one time I ruined this important party my mom was doing.'' Sapphire said. '' It started with me doing a toast and banging so hard on the glass cup it broke.''

'' Now you have to tell me.''

'' Well, I was force to go on the stage alone and-'' Sapphire started.

'' Sapphire, can we talk?'' Jasper asked. Sapphire did a glare.

'' One second Ruby.'' Sapphire said with a smile hiding the fact she didn't want to be bother with Jasper.

'' What do you want?'' Sapphire asked.

'' That's a good way to start a conversion Sapphire. But, I thought you were suppose to be nice to me?''

'' Why would I do that?'' Sapphire said. Jasper went in her book bag and pulled out a ice cube and dropped it in Sapphire hand. '' What is this for?''

'' See how when you hold it, it doesn't melt? It's that crazy?''

'' So?''

'' So, why isn't it melting. It was melting in everyone else hands.''

'' Well, I had my hands dipped in cold water.'' Sapphire said. Jasper just stared at her. '' It was very cold water.''

'' Sapphire stop lying to me and yourself.''

'' What are you-''

Jasper stepped closer to Sapphire. '' I know your secret. Everything staring with your ice powers.''

Sapphire turned silent.

'' You're probably wondering, what do I want to keep quite well. I want you to be my girlfriend.''

'' Why would I do that?''

'' Do you know what they do to people like you. They lock you up and do experiments on you. They cut every piece of you to know how you work. How you can act so human but, be so cold.''

'' Why are you doing this?'' Sapphire asked.

'' Because I know Ruby doesn't know. No one does not Rose or Pearl. And I know you like Ruby, love her. And for a long time, I had to sit and watch you love someone that wasn't me. So, now I'm going to make you watch Ruby fall knowing you don't love her. And make you watch knowing you can't do anything with out telling.'' Jasper said. She then smirked and walked away.

Sapphire stood there. About to cry.

'' Hey, you alright. What did she say?'' Ruby asked.

'' N-Nothing.'' Sapphire said. She then turned and hugged Ruby wanting to stay with her.

But, even she knew it wasn't going to happen. That, Jasper knew and she was going to tell.
