At least this chapter will actually play into the next one HA! Hope you enjoy it. Also I know in the canonverse Peridot called Pumpkin a 'she' but it's already the fourth chapter so i'm just going to stick with calling Pumpkin a 'he' sorry.

"Steven said it seemed to be missing a few pieces." Lapis commented turning the video game console upside down and shaking it. Peridot stopped her with an uneasy smile on her face causing the blue gem to shrink and put it back down. "Should we ask Pearl for help?"

"We should find out what it's missing first, then go to Pearl for help on acquiring money." Peridot responded already searching up all the parts that were contained in the machine. "Thankfully we're not missing much so it shouldn't cost much!" Lapis cheered and Peridot hugged her once again thanking her for the gift. Feeling proud of themselves the couple along with their pumpkin decided to head to the beach house with the list in hand! On the way over Lapis was playing with pumpkin creating hoops for him to jump through getting him to bark happily and splash his numbs in the puddles the water eventually became, Peridot was happy her little family could find enjoyment anywhere.

Arriving at the house Peridot knocked gently remembering her manners unto which Pearl herself answered looking slightly surprised. "Peridot? Lapis? What brings you both here?"

"Hello Pearl!" Peridot responded happily. "Lapis and I seem to be in need of some assistance, we were wondering if you could help us acquire money?" The taller gem groaned and merely handed Peridot a card:

"After everything Amethyst and Steven get up to I just decided to save up money, buy whatever you need the pin number is on the piece of paper attached to it."

"Pin number?"

"You'll see, return the card when your finished please." Pearl waved the two off and motioned for Pumpkin to enter the house to wait for his owners return. Heading to a nearby electronics store the two gems kept checking the list of supplies they needed and grabbed a basket to put them in even though they only required four different items. After easily finding the first two items they noticed the third item was way up on the highest ledge making Peridot slump in disappointment only to smile brightly as Lapis flew up to grab it and plop back down next to her.

"Anything for you Peri." Kissing the green gem's check the two held hands and continued to search for the last item on the list. After grabbing all they needed they proceeded to head to the long check out line humming to themselves trying to not look out of place if at all possible, kinda hard to be interested in two short fully one-colored skin gems just standing in line. Once near the end of waiting, Lapis caught a glimpse of a game that could be played on the console and without hesitation grabbed it and placed it in Peridot's basket.

Finally heading back to the beach house Pumpkin ran down the stairs and jumped into Lapis' arms as Peridot returned the card and smiled happily towards Pearl. "Thank you Pearl! You were very helpful today!" The taller gem smirked with a chuckle.

"Your a lot happier lately Peridot, Lapis has been really keeping your spirits high it seems." Peridot blushed but nodded regardless. Waving goodbye the two gems finally found themselves alone at the barn ready to reassemble the console and make it playable! Taking it apart was the easy part, with Lapis holding up the tablet Peridot found it easier to put the machine back together at a quicker pace. Finally finishing the moment of truth was upon the couple, plugging it into the wall and tv they crossed their fingers and turned it on. The screen lit up and the couple cheered looking at the games Steven let them borrow and the one they had just recently purchased, they had settled upon a fighting game and had fun for a bit until Lapis had been on a losing streak and decided to pout in the corner. Peridot crawled over and cuddled her from behind giving the blue gem the giggles as she felt her gem being covered in tiny kisses, Peridot giggled as well and hugged her girlfriend tightly.

"Why don't you try out the one we bought?" Lapis motioned towards the case and Peridot agreed to try it. Popping in the disc the little green gem was instantly sucked into the game as the world appeared before her. 'Welcome adventurer what is your name?' Peridot entered her name and clapped happily as the menu turned into a hub and gave her all of her options of how to play. Lapis walked over and held Peridot in her lap feeling joyous as she continued to giggle and bounce with happiness. "Glad you like it Peri." Peridot turned and kissed Lapis deeply with a smile before turning around to continue playing:

"You always know how to make me happy Lapis." Lapis attacked the little gem's neck with kisses and raspberries making Peri giggly and thrash about trying to get away. After a few hours Lapis decided to head to bed first and kissed Peridot's cheek.

"See you in the morning Peri, don't stay up too late." Peridot smiled and returned the kiss before returning to the game and keeping herself as quiet as possible so as to not disturb Lapis' slumber. A few more hours had passed and Peridot still didn't feel sleepy at all and continued bouncing and earning all the loot and experience she could get! Peridot's love for RPG's grew at least ten times this night! Even as the sun was coming up the little green gem finally figured out how to save and still continued to play on.
