Told you it would play into it.

Lapis awoke to Pumpkin whining and it worried her even more when looking up to see Peridot sitting in front of the screen making no noise but the clicking of buttons and slaps of the joystick. "Peri?" she called out softly earning no response. Lapis huffed sitting up and petting Pumpkin, walking over she slowly touched Peridot's arm to have the green gem spin around and give her a blank almost life less stare.

"You ok hun?" Peridot nodded once then returned to the game. Lapis growled and attempted to turn off the game only to be pulled down and sat on by the green gem. "What the-"

"Just a second Lapis, i'm almost to the save point!" Lapis grew more annoyed as each second passed being used as a chair. "Saved!" Peri cheered in a tired tone nearly falling off of her girlfriend.

"Time to turn it off as well."

"WAIT! One more mission please!" Lapis gave Peridot the look, you know the look right? The look your significant other gives you when the time to stop is now? Yeah Peridot always caved under the look but shockingly she continued to play until Lapis dragged her kicking and screaming away from the console. "Lapis wait! My comrades are almost as elite as I am just hear me out!"

"BED. NOW." the commands terrified Peridot but something in her tired mind was slowly convincing her to disobey and make a mad dash for the console only to see Lapis throw the disc into the case and into Pumpkin's mouth to dash away.

"PUMPKIN NO!" Peridot started to chase after the little pet but couldn't catch up to him no matter how hard she made her legs work. She was too tired, and with a wheeze she fell into the grass and was lifted by a water hand back to the bed she shared with Lapis. "But Lapis I was having so much fuuuunnnn... Please?" Lapis kissed the green gem's cheek before tucking her in and running her fingers through her hair.

"You need rest Peri, I know we don't REALLY need it but humor me won't you?" Peridot groaned in protest until the look made it's appearance again scaring the little green gem into submission. Lapis crawled over and cuddled against Peridot: "I'm sorry but you look so awful right now it's what's best right?" Peridot nodded before getting comfy against her warm girlfriend and slowly falling asleep. Feeling her breathing in a normal pattern Lapis smiled and held Peridot a bit closer until she noticed a glow emitting from her chest, pushing Peridot away slowly she was greeted by the smaller gem's gem glowing and projecting her dreams. With wonder in her eyes she angled Peridot to have her back against the taller gem's chest, 'Movie time!' she thought to herself before pulling Pumpkin next to her. It was Peridot, a little taller by the way, coated in armor with a mighty sword riding a mighty steed!

"Let us be on our way Pumpkin! To rescue the beautiful Lapis Lazuli!" the horse neighed and galloped onward towards a castle in the distance. Lapis giggled before kissing the gem on her head. Peridot hopped down from her horse and entered a nearby inn locating her comrades in arms! Steven the Wizard! Amethyst the Thief! and Pearl the Warrior!

"My friends we must make haste! Every second we waste standing around the poor Lapis could be in mortal danger!" The group nodded and followed Peridot's leadership on wards further towards the castle! Lapis eyes were starry and couldn't look away pulling Pumpkin nearer as he grew tired himself. The sun had finally began it's descent and yet the ocean gem paid it no mind.

Upon arrival the crew had begun an attack upon the goblins and sorcerers within the castle walls, slicing them down with effortless strength! Nearing the highest tower Peridot made her charge and kicked in the door glaring down the evil sorceress Jasper! Locked in a cage was Lapis who appeared un-hurt yet crying silently. The real Lapis squeezed Peridot tightly and sighed softly.

"Knight Peridot, come to try your hand at my might eh?!" Jasper snarled shooting a lightning bolt at the Knight's shield knocking her back two steps. "You're no match for me!" Peridot huffed and jumped to the side allowing Steven to shoot a fire blast at Jasper knocking her down. "How?!" Amethyst appeared behind the young wizard tossing a talisman up in the air catching it immediately. "Found yourself a thief, that doesn't mean anything!" Dashing towards the trio Pearl had slipped through un-noticed and unlocked Lapis' cage allowing them to return hidden behind the drapes.

"Take this you fiend!" Peridot shouted trying her hardest to fight off the evil sorceress on her own. After a few blows being traded back and forth Peridot finally defeated the evil Jasper with one final slash swing downwards. The words victory appeared in giant letters causing the party to cheer and jump for joy!

"Oh my darling knight, thank you for saving me!" Lapis pulled Peridot down and lovingly kissed her on the lips before jumping into her arms and riding off into the sunset. The dream ended and Peridot had begun to snore as she felt around for her lover, Lapis spun the little gem around and nuzzled her into her chest with a small grin across her face. The two gems and their pet pumpkin slept well that night, it was a well deserved rest and they were thankful for it.
