I did not forget about my favorite cheeto puff, but i'm pretty sure she likes having her own space anyway!
'Ignore her and she'll leave...'
"Lapis! Peri! Yo!"
'Ignore her and she'll leave...'
"I'm climbing the ladder! You better have clothes on!"
'Ignore her... Ignore her...'
"Oooooo a cuddle fest, mind if I join in?" Amethyst barely dodged the pillow attack of the angry Lapis Lazuli to which she began to laugh her head off waking up the small little green gem. "Hey ya'll, Steven is inviting you to join us on a road trip!" Peridot calmed Lapis with a loving hug before standing up slowly.
"Interesting, what's the purpose?" Peridot questioned putting on her visor with a smile.
"He wants to go to this spot somewhere Greg used to take him to see the stars clear as a picture." The purple gem finally climbed the last of the stairs and waved to the slightly less annoyed blue gem who returned the wave with a tired look. "Come on, it could be fun and you guys could treat it as a date." Peridot's mind clicked something together and she gave Lapis her signature happy grin. "What say you Lappy?"
"Don't call me that, as long as she wants to i'm in." Lapis shot Amethyst a thumbs up with a smirk.
"Sounds good then! Be at the house by noon so we can take off ok?" The two gems confirmed and waved to Amethyst as she wandered off. Wow, their first date and a fun road trip to enjoy with Steven and the others! Wait a sec...
...will Lapis be able to sit near Jasper? Peridot began pacing in worry hoping that nothing bad would happen and no fights would break out. Lapis patted the short gem's shoulder with a smile:
"You ready to have some fun today?" Peridot hugged her girlfriend and laughed. After a few hours had passed, the couple left Pumpkin with Greg at the car wash giving the pet a new place to roam around and sleep, thus the two set off to the beach house meeting Connie at the front door walking in together. Peridot looked to Lapis who seemed in a normal mood, even after seeing Jasper standing around she didn't seem off and that eased the blonde into comfort.
"Alright, Greg has allowed us some money to rent an RV for this trip!" Pearl announced clapping with Steven and Garnet. "So if everyone is ready shall we take our leave?" Boarding the RV Peridot and Steven immediately when to playing some fighting game going back and forth between wins and losses, Garnet kept Lapis company pointing out different scenery and famous locations within Beach City as Pearl and Jasper silently traded little tid-bits of semi-jokes or random questions to one another. Amethyst decided to take a nap in one of the beds getting some beauty sleep. Peridot finally gave in to losing to Steven and walked over to listen in on Pearl and Jasper not saying anything at all.
"Look um, I would like to spar with you sometime... if that's ok?" Jasper piped up looking out the window.
"I would... be glad to train with you Jasper." Pearl replied turning slightly to return the smile Jasper had absentmindedly cast through the reflection of the window. Peridot smirked and left the two alone heading to the other bunk to sleep the ride off under Amethyst.
After being shaken awake, Peridot rolled her eyes noticing somewhere during the trip Lapis had snuck in and clamped her limbs around the smaller gem's body making it a pain to get free. "Lapis get off, we're finally here." The ocean gem smiled and released her girlfriend planting a kiss on her cheek before stretching with a yawn as well. "Let's go see what all the hub-bub is about." Finally climbing off the bed the two gems held hands and followed Amethyst out of the RV and slowly up a hill.
"I wonder what it's like?" Lapis whispered. Peridot shrugged but kept going along the path anyway. It was dark but Amethyst convinced them she knew the way when in fact she had a map in her hands telling them where to go. It took quite some time but after arriving the trio of gems gasped at the sight in front of them.
It was like you were in actual space, you could see nothing but stars for mils and miles on end and it was magical.
"Told you guys it was a great sight!" Steven proclaimed with pride. "My dad would take me out here on vacation and we would just sit out here for hours watching the sky and singing songs to each other." Pearl patted his shoulder and sat beside him and Garnet. Jasper stood beside the tree staring off towards a collection of stars that formed a path towards homeworld. Peridot leaned into Lapis' embrace and sighed in contempt, what a lovely sight and what a lovely way to plan future space trips for her and Lapis to take together if they ever felt bored.
"You glad we came?" Peridot whispered looking up at her girlfriend.
"Yeah, I really am..." Lapis clung tighter to the little gem and sighed happily. For a first date, this was magical...
Going to also post the last day since i'm probably not going to be free at all tomorrow here in a second.
