Amethyst sat on the side of the road, Funland arcade sitting right behind her. Her face was red, her eyes filled to the brim with tears. "Stupid Peridot. What is she doing?" Amethyst looked at the ground, her mind still filled with thoughts of Peridot. She wanted nothing but the green gem, but she still wondered whether that was what's best for her. Am I in the wrong?
The purple gem felt something hit her head, a drop of water. She looked up, only to find that it had started raining. She looked down, the road was already wet. There were puddles on every inch of the street. As each droplet hit the ground, she saw a distinct ripple in the puddles. My tears would do the same. The storm picked up, and the water fell even harder. Her eyes teared up as she looked on. Each droplet hitting the ground even harder now. Just like my tears. She looked between her legs, a small puddle was staring her down. She examined the reflection of herself. Am I doing what's right? Or should I be doing something different? The purple gem stared intently at the puddle, examining every last detail of her own reflection. Her eyes started puffing up. "I need to get some food."
Amethyst got up, and started walking off to the big donut. "I just want to make her happy, what can I do?" The purple gem stopped in front of the Big Donut, contemplating whether or not to go inside. After a couple of minutes, the purple gem said, "Screw it, here I come," and walked into the shop.
"Hey Amethyst!" Sadie called to her. "Come in for a doughnut?" Amethyst sighed, and walked up to the counter.
"Just get me one. I'm not that hungry right now." Sadie frowned.
"You feeling ok?" Amethyst blushed, and tried her best to keep her tears down.
"Yeah...I'm fine." Sadie shrugged it off.
"If you ever need to talk, there are people all around Beach City ready to hear you. Just ask them to listen, and they'll help." Amethyst smiled.
"What do you do, when someone you like won't talk to you?" Sadie stopped, and stared at the purple gem.
"Well, I would talk to them, have them understand how you feel. If they're mad at you, I'd ask them why, then work from there. Why won't the person talk to you?" Amethyst looked up from the ground. She stared at the girl behind the counter.
"I'm the one not talking to her." She stared at the counter, her face turning red.
"Well, then talk." Amethyst shot up one more time. "Find out what's going on, and then talk about why you stopped talking." The purple gem's face kept getting redder and more shameless.
"Maybe." Sadie put a bag of donuts on the counter.
"I know you asked for one, but take the rest of these. On me." Amethyst smiled, her eyes started tearing up again.
"Thanks." The purple gem started her walk out of the shop.
"WAIT!" Amethyst stopped. Sadie ran out from behind the counter, and handed her an umbrella. "It's starting to rain pretty hard."
"Don't you need one?" Sadie blushed.
"Lars will share with me. I'll make sure of that." She winked at Amethyst. The purple gem smiled back, and nodded.
The purple gem held the umbrella over her head. The beach was soaking wet, but at least the storm had started to calm down. Amethyst stared at the bag of Donuts. "Well, she gave me all of them for a reason. I'm gonna assume she wanted me to eat them all." Amethyst sat down on the wet sand, the sound of small pitter patter hitting the red striped umbrella Sadie gave her.
The bag was sat in her lap, her hand in the bag. Just one for now. The purple gem pulled out a purple doughnut with green sprinkles. Amethyst smiled. "She did that on purpose." Amethyst took a bite of the doughnut. How could she though? She doesn't know Peridot and I are dating. After a swift swallow of the doughnut, she sat the rest of it down on her lap. "I want to talk to her, but I don't know what to say."
"Tell her how you feel." Amethyst turned around, watching as Pearl sat down beside her. "If you want to make any point, she has to know how you feel first." Amethyst turned her head.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Pearl sighed.
"When Rose was still around, I wanted to tell her so much. She would tell me almost everything, and I wanted so badly to tell her how I felt." Amethyst started to blush, her eyes starting to fill with tears once more. "I don't want you to go through what I did." The purple gem turned her head to the white gem, who was just starting to stand up. "Don't let a person be the reason you're sad. It doesn't ever end well." Amethyst smiled, standing up, and wiping the tears from her eyes.
"Pearl?" The purple gem's face turned a dark red color.
"Yes, Amethyst?" Pearl turned around, getting ready to walk away.
"Thank you." The white gem's body jolted. She her back straightened as much as it could.
"A-Any time Amethyst." The purple gem ran off towards the temple. I have to tell Peridot I'm sorry. It's the least I can do after I threw a tantrum.
"Peridot?" Amethyst ran through the open door. She looked at the couch, and saw Lapis move her head up.
"Peridot went looking for you. She told me to rest, and I guess I fell asleep." Amethyst nodded her head.
"Thanks Lapis." Lapis blushed, Amethyst jolted up, her face turning red as well.
"Uh- no problem, Amethyst." The purple gem bolted out as soon as she could. "The Crystal Gems? They sure do have a lot of conflict in their group."
Amethyst ran through the streets, looking down every corner for any sign of Peridot. "I'm not giving up until I find her. I can't." She jumped on top of buildings, looking for the green gem anywhere. The storm was picking up again. There was thunder, rain was hitting Amethyst like hail. I have to find her quickly. She'll get sick out here.
Amethyst ran around the only few streets left in beach city. Her attention turned to funland arcade. "Peridot?" The green gem was sitting on the side of the road. The rain was falling on her face, or were those tears? Holy shit, Peridot's crying! Amethyst ran up to the green gem, trying not to burst into tears herself. I love you, Peridot. Don't leave me, please.
Author's Note: I lost almost all of this in a data wipe. I had to type up more than half of it. I'm lazy, it's 2 in the morning, I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, so just take it. Take all of it.
