That glare. That frown. If looks could kill, Topaz would have been dead in under 10 seconds.
"I told you! That is not how you work the Gem Distablizer!" Jasper said.
"It's not my fault! It's a Prototype! There's a reason why Gems can summon their weapons..." Topaz argued. She didn't normally do this,but she felt the need to.
"Prototype! Smototype! This will be very important to our kind one day!" Jasper said. She took the Prototype and stomped off.
"Might as well go outside." Topaz said. She went upstairs to her room. Topaz opened up her window silently. The gem hopped out and dropped 10 feet.
"Wonder where Lapis is..." Topaz said. She looked down at her new watch tech that Jasper gave her. It was supposed to help her keep in touch with Jasper. "Lapis Lazuli? Lappy? Are you there?" Topaz yelled into the watch.
"I'm here. Didn't know you liked yelling!" Lapis answered tease fully.
"Haha. Are you busy?" Topaz asked.
"I'm down at the beach. Why?" Lapis replied.
"I'm coming down." Topaz said as she teleported to Lapis.
"Hey there's my Pazzy!" Lapis said as she hugged Topaz.
"And there's my Lappy." Topaz hugged Lapis.
"What are you doing down here? Isn't Jasper going to kill you since you aren't training?" Lapis asked worriedly.
"Jasper? Forget the big idiot! It's not like she cares about me anyway. I could crack my gem or have it shattered and she wouldn't even care!" Topaz said shaking her head. "She changed. Ever since Rose Quartz rebelled, Jasper changed. I'm surprised she didn't give me up yet. After all,the only reason she was my 'guardian' was because she was assigned to me. Jasper was supposed to train me and report my progress to Yellow Diamond." Topaz sighed.
"Thank Goodness I wasn't assigned to anybody. You know how much I Hate Homeworld ever since we started getting new technology. Heck,this morning I tried calling you on my Watch Tech. I ended up calling that nerdy green gem Peridot! She kept asking me why I was calling her. Then she yelled, 'Don't call me anymore! Or I'll report this!'" Lapis sat down laughing.
"Yeah. New Homeworld technologies are hard to use. I tried calling you this morning and I called Jasper! Oh my stars! You should have heard how mad she was at me!" Topaz said laughing as she sat down next to her old friend.
"Homeworld has changed!" Lapis said.
"Yeah it has. I can't wait until the war is over..." Topaz said inching closer to Lapis.
"Why, Pazzy? I thought you liked fighting." Lapis said.
"I do like fighting, just not when it hurts people I care about..." Topaz said. She couldn't look at her best friend.
"Pazzy, are you saying that we might have to fight?" Lapis asked. The blue gem scooted closer to Topaz.
"Well, what if they think we are like enemies? You know we are complete opposites. You're water. I'm fire. We were meant to be enemies." Topaz said getting teary.
"Paz, listen, I know we are completely different gems, but you're my best friend! I can't let anyone or anything hurt you!" Lapis said crying.
"Lappy, I'm sorry. I didn't to make you cry. I just want the war to be over, so we can finally tell everybody about our friendship. Our friendship can prove that opposites can be best friends!" Topaz said hugging the petite gem.
"Yeah. We can prove all of those gems out there that opposites really can be best friends!" Lapis said giggling.
"There's my Happy Lappy!" Topaz said laughing.
"There's my Sassy Pazzy!" Lapis said pushing Topaz playfully.
"Hey!" Topaz got up and tackled her best friend. "Without you, I have no idea if I would be the gem I am today." Topaz whispered.
Lapis got up from the tackle. "Without you, I wouldn't have any friends." Lapis lunged at Topaz and hugged her once more. Topaz just hugged back even harder.
"Opposites really do attract!" They both shouted while they giggled.
Once they stopped hugging, Topaz stood up. "I wonder what we should do now." She asked looking at the once beautiful ocean.
"We could fuse into Diamond..." Lapis said. She pushed her Topaz to get her attention.
"What? Form Diamond? We only use her in case one of us gets injured." Topaz said getting closer to the sea.
"Okay. Well, we could play fun tricks on people." Lapis said giggling.
"You mean pranks? Let's!" Topaz said. She grabbed her best friend and off they ran back towards home.
