Jenny looked at the mess of her room. She growled annoyed as she marched to her doorway. "How many days are we staying?!" She shouted to Kiki.

"Um anywhere from two days to a week!" Kiki shouted back as she stuffed her suit case. "It's all up to you!"

"Up to me?" Jenny mumbled as she went back to packing. She didn't fully understand how much the trip was about her. She threw a bunch of clothes in her suit case and stomped it closed. She sat on it and went back to her friends. They wanted to come but she was trying to convince them it was a sister bonding trip. Getting some space from them would be good for her.

"Are you ready?" Kiki asked peeping her head into the room.

Jenny nodded putting her phone up. "Yeah how long before they get here?" She asked getting up and dragging her suit case to the door.

A horn honked twice outside their house. "I guess that's them." Kiki said with a laugh as she went back to her room to grab her stuff.

Jenny fought with her suitcase all the way to the trunk of the car. "You packed a lot I see." Garnet said taking the suitcase from her.

She shrugged smiling a bit. "Well you never know what the day might bring about."

"Greg I didn't know you owned a suv." Kiki said letting the gem take her bag as well.

"Oh I don't but I Pearl said that the van wouldn't do for this trip." Greg said embarrassed.

"That's because it wouldn't." Pearl said rolling her eyes as she leaned out of the car.

Garnet thumped her nose. "Be nice." Pearl stuck her tongue out making the other gem laugh.

"Where's Steven?" Jenny asked getting in and after Greg moved over.

"Oh he's in the back sleeping with Amethyst." Greg said throwing his thumb over his shoulder. "Those two were to excited to sleep last night."

Kiki laughed as she buckled up. "That sounds like them."

"Yeah it's gonna be a five hour drive so it's a good idea." Pearl said starting the truck.

"Good I think I'm going to catch up on my sleep as well. I usually stay up late looking for a good scholarships." Kiki said getting comfortable in her seat.

It wasn't long before she was out like a light. The truck had turned silent except for Greg's and Amethyst snores.

"I imagined you would be more talkative than this." Garnet said removing her visor.

"Well I haven't felt like doing much of that." Jenny said looking down at her lap.

"Why don't you tell us what happened." Garnet said tilting her head back up.

Jenny looked her in the eyes. She couldn't ignore the soft smile the gem was giving her so she told them everything.

"Oh honey you can't blame them if they don't remember." Pearl said softly.

Jenny wouldn't to scream her frustration. "They did remember." She hissed lowly as to not wake the others.

"What do you mean? They lied?" Garnet asked confused. Who would ever lie about being in love? Especially when it was so close to happening.

"I know them like the back of my hand. So believe me when I say I know when they lie or just out right act like something didn't happen." Jenny said bitterly.

"I'm sorry." Pearl said worrying her bottom lip.

"I just don't know why they would lie. It would have been better if they would have just told me that they don't love me in that way. Then maybe if I know that these stupid feelings will start to go away." Jenny sniffed refusing to cry. She had done enough of that for them. "Anyway can you guys not say anything about that part? I haven't told Kiki and I don't want Steven knowing."

"Of course." Pearl said as Garnet nodded.

"Do you want to sleep now?" Garnet asked. Humans needed a lot of care.

"No I'm good. Could we maybe just talk and get to know each other?" Jenny asked smiling at Garnet and catching Pearls eye in the mirror.

"How about you start with yourself we have a lot more history than you do." Pearl said and Jenny nodded.

"Well lets see my name is Jennifer Lacie Pizza and I'm nineteen years old. I want to be a writer and bring things to life with my words. I actually have a few books in the library. You guys can read them just don't let Steven or Connie read them. They're not old enough. I want to travel the states and get out and see beyond Beach City. You guys already know I like to party and be a free spirit. I think society norms and labels are stupid and just a way to keep everything organized. I don't like for things to get messy and complicated but sometimes life is like that. Those can make for the best memories though. I'm a pretty good swimmer and night runner. I smoke cigarettes but it's not like a bad habit or anything."

Garnet giggled and she looked at her confused and in awe of the sound. "Pearl use to smoke."

Jenny snorted looking leaning up to look at the embarrassed gem. "So walk in a straight line Pearl walked on the bad side bad."

"It was a long time ago." Pearl mumbled not looking at her.

"She stopped when one year Steven crawled over and asked could he get a taste." Garnet said trying not to laugh at her girlfriend anymore unlike Jenny you shook with muffled laughter.

"I bet she almost had a heart attack." Jenny said leaning against Garnet.

"Oh and what else could have possibly been the correct response." Pearl huffed making the other two giggle more. "Alright alright you two."

"Well now I know who's the strict parent and who is not." Jenny said with a easy smile.

"What do you expect? Garnet is so easy to break. All Steven has to do is look at her or put his tiny hands in hers." Pearl teased.

"Hey I can't say no to that face." Garnet said with a shrug her three eyes shining bright.

"My mom died when I was younger. She saved my life actually. To this day I will always think it is my fault that she isn't hear." Jenny sighed leaning her head on Garnets shoulder.

"Steven thinks its his fault as well." Garnet said glancing back to the sleeping teen.

"Thinks what is?" Jenny asked looking at out the window.

"Everything." Pearl said gravely. "I don't think that feeling really goes away."

Jenny smiled she liked that they didn't try and tell her something about how she shouldn't think that. People will never know someone else's pain no matter how much it is explained to them because they will forever be looking on from the outside. The two of them already had her feeling so safe and warm. She felt like they were on their way to becoming fast friends. "Which one of you guys are going first?"

"Pearl should do it. That way when she get's to the part about where I come in existence then I'll take over for a while. Then we can just go back and forth." Garnet said tapping Jenny's head so she can lift her arm up behind her. She put her hand in the teens hair pushing her head back on her shoulder.

"Sounds good to me." Pearl said smiling at them through the mirror but scrunching her face up when Jenny put her feet up on the arm rest.

"Is this ok? I like hearing her story and I want to be comfortable to." Garnet asked fingers scratching the others scalp.

"Yeah." Jenny sighed happily listening as Pearl started talking.

She could practically fill the love the two of them had for each other. She thought she would prehab's be feeling jealous over their happiness or tell them to stop doing it in front of her. But she was happy for them. One day it'll happen for me. She thought to herself as she laughed at something Pearl said.

Empire City was as lively as always when they arrived.

"Hey guys I was thinking why don't I take them and get something to eat and you two pay for our hotel rooms." Greg said as he passed his debit card to Pearl.

"Well alright." Pearl said with smile.

"Ok I got three rooms one for you two, one for me and Steven, and then one for Kiki, Jenny, and Amethyst." Greg said leaning in close to whisper the pin number to her. Then after a wave the group split up.

"Okay kido what do you fell like eating?" Greg asked as Amethyst and Steven ran around each other.

"I'm ok with whatever." Steven said with a shrug.

"Yeah me to Greg." Amethyst said jumping on Stevens back.

Greg shook his head as they stumbled around. "What do you girls want?"

"Ummm BBQ." Kiki said after she thought about it.

"Oh yeah we haven't had that in a while." Jenny said smiling over at her sister. "Then maybe we can have cake and ice cream?"

"Yeah!" The two youngest shouted together.

They looked around as Steven looked the places up on his phone. "Maybe we can go to a club or something one night." Kiki suggested as the two walked side by side.

Jenny smiled looking over at her sister who looked uncomfortable as they passed by yet another club. "No I'm good." She said with a laugh. Even if her sister was trying to make her feel better she wasn't gonna let it go that far. "Clubs aren't really your thing and I can go without them for a while."

"Then what do you want to do?" Kiki asked relieved she wasn't going to have to be surrounded by a bunch of people she didn't know.

"Just have fun and we can do things together." Jenny said looking at the other stores across the street. What looked like to be a bdsm club caught her eye. She filed it away to look at later.

"Jenny!" She jumped when her sister yelled her name.

"Sorry what?" She asked turning back to her twin.

"You spaced out on me. See something you want to check out?" Kiki asked looking back across the street as they kept walking.

"No just a book store. I want to get another journal." Jenny said shaking her head.

"You know dad doesn't think being a writer is a practical job. He thinks you have so much more potential and that you're to smart for that." Kiki said.

"It isn't and I know how smart I am." Jenny sighed. "But it's my life and that's what I want to do with it."

"Oh." Kiki said.

"Well that besides travel." Jenny said laughing when Kiki rolled her eyes.

"You and everyone one else." Kiki said.

"Everyone but you that is." Jenny said bumping her with her shoulder.

"Hey somebody's got to be different." Kiki said with a laugh. "But no really it just never really interested me like that. I can see you traveling though and taking lots of pictures to send me."

"Of course I got to show my twin all the places she looks cute in." Jenny said matter of factly.

"Oh shut up!" Kiki giggled. "What would you do if we weren't identical?"

"Eh cry in a corner because I still wouldn't be the cutest girl in Beach City." Jenny said making Kiki blush. "Oh are you blushing?"

"Sh-shut up!" Kiki said turning so Jenny couldn't see her face.

"No way! No way! Show me!" Jenny laughed pulling on her cheeks.

"Get off!" Kiki wailed as Jenny squashed her cheeks.

"Hey guys we found it!" Amethyst yelled a couple feet ahead of them.

"Amethyst I got Kiki to bl-" Kiki hit her in the back of the head as she hurried off after their friends. "Why'd you hit me?" Jenny whined walking behind them.

"Because your an idiot!" Kiki huffed crossing her arms.

"Are you blushing!" Amethyst teased the teen beside her.

"You want some of this to?" Kiki raised her fist as she looked at her with fire in her eyes.

Amethyst yelped as she scrambled off to Steven. "No I'm good." She said.

"Never fear Amethyst! Steven Universe is here!" Steven said showing off his guns.

"Um man I don't think even your guns have a chance against her she's scary when she's made." Amethyst said with a shudder.

"I heard that!" Kiki yelled making them cower.

"You might be right." Steven whispered. "I've never seen her mad before."

"Greg Kiki hit me! Punish her." Jenny whined as she finally caught up to them.

"Don't tease your sister Jenny." Greg said opening the door of the restaurant for them.

"Some kind of parent skills." Jenny huffed as she walked in.

"What about Greg's parenting skills." Pearl asked surprising them.

They all turned around to see the other two gems in human clothes. "Looking good guys." Amethyst

said looking them up and down. "That he doesn't have them." Jenny said smiling at them.

"Oh yes of course." Pearl said.

"I always knew that." Garnet said at the same time as Pearl spoke.

Greg gave a sheepish laugh as he got them a table. "You guys aren't staying are you?"

"No we just came by to give you your card back." Garnet said handing the card back over.

Pearl passed out room keys and then gave Steven a hug. "Be good for the others." She said kissing his forehead.

"Have fun." He said hugging Garnet's leg.

"Stay out of trouble young lady." Pearl said smiling at Amethyst as Garnet ruffled her hair.

"Yeah yeah no crazy gem stuff got it." She said fixing her hair.

"We'll see you guys later." Garnet said to three humans.

The waiter came over and showed them to their table as the gems left hand in hand. "What do guys want to do?" Greg asked after everyone had ordered.

"Oh oh!" Steven said waving his hand around.

"Yes Steven?" Greg asked with a soft smile.

"I made a list of things we could do together." He said pulling out his phone. "We could see a cool 3D movie, go to the bookstore and music store, go shopping at their giant mall, ride the roller coaster in the giant mall, play laser tag, in door rock climbing, dancing, indoor extreme bounce house, football darts-"

"Whoa whoa little man!" Greg said putting his hand over the phone.

"Sounds like you got the whole trip planned out." Kiki said with a laugh.

"We didn't even have to think of anything." Jenny said watching Amethyst swallow her whole cup.

"That's just things I thought we could together. If you guys have ideas or want to do stuff alone then that's okay to." Steven said putting his phone up.

"Cool then there's a casino I want to try out." Jenny said licking her lips at her BBQ nachos.

"Oh think you can make it big do you?" Kiki teased as she cut into her BBQ sandwich with a knife.

"It's worth a try." Jenny said waving a chip around. "I might end up with more money than Greg."

Greg laughed. "Hey maybe but you'll never earn the way I did."

"What by my back stabbing best friend suddenly coming back into my life after trying to ruin their kids life. And goes oh yeah here's the check I should of gave you over fifteen years ago?" Jenny said raising a eyebrow.

"Well when you put it like that then it doesn't sound all that great. I was gonna say becoming a rock star." Greg mumbled as Amethyst laughed around a slab of ribs she was trying to force down her throat.

"Amethyst! You're gonna choke." Kiki reprimanded as the other laughed.

Jenny watched the other walk into the music story as she stood in front of the bookstore. She did want to go in but not yet. She turned right and headed off towards the club she saw earlier. She stood in front of it nervously before taking a deep breath and just going in.

"Finally!" A voice boomed making her yelp. "Oh sorry! It's just that I've been watching you this whole time and I've been wondering when you were going to come in." A woman said sitting at a bar.

"Oh I'm sorry I saw this place earlier and decided to come in. It's my first time in a place like this." Jenny said looking around. She hadn't expected it to be so big on the inside.

"Oh sorry we don't get busy until later on to night." The woman said looking around. "I'm the owner so I kind of have to be here."

"No that makes since. I was just curious." Jenny said looking over and offering the person a smile.

"My names Safaree." Safaree said motioning for Jenny to take to stool beside her.

Jenny smiled walking over and taking it. "I'm Jenny."

"Well Jenny what had you so curious that you walked into my bdsm club." Safaree said with teasing smile.

Jenny blushed. "There's this guy well two guys that I'm in love with. And with one of them I just want to won him. If that makes since. Like make him ours." Jenny said clearly embarrassed. "I've seen stuff online but never in how it works in person."

"First off I was hoping you were single because you're cute."

"I am single." Jenny said sadly.

"But not here." The other woman touched her chest. "And so what you just want to see how it would work and what to do?" Safaree asked to make sure.

"Yeah if something like that is possible." Jenny asked with hope.

"Of course it is!" Safaree said with a contagious smile. "We open at eight. When you get here the people at the door are going to ask what color band you want. Black is for just off limits, Red is for in a relationship, Green is for open to anyone, Yellow is for new. Ask for Yellow so everyone knows that you're new and probably just looking around." Safaree said walking Jenny to the door.

"Thank you." Jenny said opening the door.

"Oh and tell them that Safarree sent you." She said waving her off.

"Ok!" Jenny yelled running off to the bookstore to get what she needed.

Jenny carefully closed the door to her room. She didn't want to wake her sister or Amethyst it wasn't late to her but ten was late to most. She silently walked down the hallway and got in the elevator. Wondering what kind of experience she was going to have at the club. She hoped she didn't meet any weirdos. Quickly making her way down the sidewalk as she stepped around all kinds of people. She loved that about Empire City. Their were all kinds of people. She smiled when she saw the club looking down at her clothes hoping they would be enough. Shaking off her nervous because it was her first time being here with people. She walked right up and opened the door. This time she was greeted with by a large man.

"Uh." She said taking a step back suddenly unsure of herself.

"Color?" The big man asked.

"Oh yeah um yellow." She said remembering what Safaree told her. "And Safaree told me to let you know I know her."

The man turned back around with a easy going smile on his face as he gave her the band. "Oh so you the cute new girl that dropped by earlier."

Jenny blushed. "I guess so."

He laughed. "Come on I'll walk you in." He said motioning for her to follow him. "Names Otis by the way."

"Jenny." She said gasping at the club now.

It defiantly looked different now that their were people in it. Otis walked over and knocked on a door. Jenny was to busy staring as someone got whipped on stage to see Safarree walk up behind her.

"Boo." Safaree said close to her making her jump. Safaree laughed as Jenny glared at her. "You're to easy!"

"I was distracted." Jenny rolled her eyes looking back to the stage.

Safaree followed her gaze. "Yeah Kevin and Double D are two of are regulars. They love putting on for the club. Double D is open to most things."

"Which one is Double D?" Jenny asked not taking her eyes off the stage.

"He's the sub. The one being whipped and Kevin is his dom." Safaree explained. She pulled on Jenny's arm to get her moving. "How much about this stuff do you know about?"

"Not much." Jenny said looking around at the other people. "But just enough to know some of the things I want to do and what I want from him. From them. I want to be a Dom and him my sub for sure."

Jenny scanned the rest of people. Some subs and doms were fairly ease to pick out. By what they were wearing or the positions they were in. A sign the said Animal area caught her eye.

"What's that about?" She asked pointing over to it.

"Oh that's for pets, or people who are half animals, creatures, furries, etc." Safaree said leading the way to the room.

"I've never heard of that." Jenny said following eagerly.

"I find this and little to be absolutely adorable." Safaree said holding the sheer curtain open for her to walk through.

She gasped when she did. People were acting like animals everywhere. Jenny thought it was little weird until she got closer to a deer and a bunny. "Can I pet them?" She asked looking back at Safaree who was surrounded by different animals.

"Yes if you couldn't then they would have a no pet label on them." She said kneeling down to the animals level.

Jenny turned back to the bunny and deer who were both giving her the most adorable faces ever. "Alright I'm going to pet you. If you don't want it then you can move away." Jenny said cautiously reaching out her hands. She smiled when they leaned into her touches. The deer turned its head and licked her hand making her laugh. More animals came around and sniffed at her demanding pets.

"OK lets move on." Safaree said helping her to her feet.

"Where are we going next?" Jenny asked holding the curtain open this time.

"The little and big room." Safaree said taking the lead again.

"Littles are people who like being little kids again and bigs like being like little kids again to but they don't need that much taking care of?" Jenny asked as they walked into another room.

"That's a way of putting it." Safaree said. "Every little is different just like every other sub." Jenny nodded as they entered what looked like a huge play room. "Just come and sit with me. We'll play with them for a while before we go and talk." Safaree said sitting down beside a group oh boys. "Is it ok if my new friend and I play with you guys? She's new to all these so she feels out of place." Safaree asked them sweetly.

They all turned their eyes on her. One patted the floor beside him for her to sit down. "It's ok. I remember my first time here to." He gave a big smile and Jenny returned it sitting beside him. She answered all their questions and played with them until their doms came and got them for snacks.

"We should probably go have that talk now since you've calmed down." Safaree said winking at her. "I have a feeling you'll be more open now."

Jenny squinted her eyes at her. "You planned this from the start."

"Sure did." Safaree smirked. "You looked interested but ready to bolt at any point that something might go wrong. I needed you to calm down and see these is all a bit to strange but what makes this normal is that were all people. People who know what we want and want excites us. It may be different to the average joe but in here it's as normal as you and me."

Jenny took a deep breath of fresh air as she walked out of the club. The sidewalk was pretty cleared up since it was 3:30 in the morning. She smiled to herself not really expecting to be in there that long but happy anyway. Besides it helped her understand a lot of things better.

"Jenny?" She turned at the sound of Pearl's worried voice. "Is everything alright?"

"Yeah guys I just got back." Jenny said letting them catch up to her.

"What have you been up?" Garnet asked her.

"I'm surprised you didn't see earlier." Jenny said touching her own forehead.

Garnet chuckled. "I've had other things on my mind." Garnet said looking down at Pearl lovingly. Pearl blushed leaning up to kiss her cheek.

"But I went to a bdsm club." Jenny said casually trying to gage their reactions.

"Didn't peg you for the type." Garnet said with a smirk as Pearl turned even bluer and looked down at the ground.

"I don't look like the type for a lot of things." Jenny said noticing Pearls reaction. "Pearl are you ok? I didn't make you uncomfortable did I?"

"We're into it to." Garnet said making Pearl huff. Jenny's mouth hung open as she looked back and forth between them. "Pearl was the one who introduced me to it." Garnet said smiling.

"Garnet! Stop talking!" Pearl said pouting.

"Nope you know I love showing you off when I get the chance." Garnet said pulling her closer.

"You two just get even more awesome like every time we talk." Jenny said shaking her head.

"Thanks." Garnet said for the both of them.

"Garnets pretty possessive. I'm surprised you don't wear a collar Pearl." Jenny said and Pearl groaned while Garnet's smile widened. "Oh my gosh you do have something like that." "Well it's not a collar because we don't need Steven finding out. Amethyst is okay with it." Garnet said.

"I'll show you in the room."

"Only if Pearl is okay with it." Jenny said looking at the other gem.

"I'm ok because we're only showing you my stomach." Pearl giving her a smile even though she was still embarrassed.

"Pearl doesn't mind if people look." Garnet said opening their hotel room door.

Jenny nodded following them in. Garnet motioned for her to sit beside her on the bed as Pearl sat down in Garnets lap. She raised up her shirt some and Jenny gasped at the purple leather and ropes that crossed and knotted about her body.

"Does it bother you any?" Jenny asked running a finger over the rope.

"No but I know it's there." Pearl said kissing Garnets jaw.

Jenny nodded yawing. "Well thanks for showing me guys." Jenny said getting up and stretching. "I'm gonna go to bed now."

"You're not going to get much sleep." Pearl said looking at her worriedly.

"It's fine." Jenny said yawning again. "I'm young I can live off a few hours of sleep. See you guys tomorrow."

She left their room and slowly crept back into hers. She took off her shoes and got under the covers with her sister since they were sharing a bed. Amethyst seemed fine to sleep on the floor.

"Did you have fun?" Kiki asked her around a yawn.

"Yeah." Jenny nodded getting comfortable on her own pillow.

"Is it some where I can go with you?" Kiki mumbled.

"No I don't think you would like it much." Jenny said laughing as she leaned over and kissed her forehead. "Go back to sleep."

"You to." Kiki mumbled drifting off.

Jenny heard her phone chime with a notification but she ignored it in favor of sleep. She'll looked at them tomorrow.
