"Stay here Labby, I have to talk with Pearl." Peridot spoke, patting Labradorite's head as she at down on a bench. Labradorite nodded, placing her hands in her lap. Peridot, seeing that Labradorite wouldn't move, nodded and left, walking over to the pondering Pearl.

If Peridot had looked back, she would have seen Amethyst sitting on the bench next to Labradorite, attempting to start a conversation.

Peridot reached the Pearl who was leaning on the barn wall, conversing with Garnet. "We've tried everything to try and gain her trust, what else can we do?" Pearl asked Garnet with confused eyes.

"Are we talking about Labradorite again?" Peridot asked, Pearl jumped at Peridot's silent approach.

"Yes... I- I don't want to force a connection, but that seems like that might be our last option." Pearl said, Peridot hummed, placing a hand in her chin.

"Yes, forcing a connection with be very bad, for you." Peridot comments, side eyeing Pearl and Garnet.

"You're closest to Labradorite, and I can't believe that I'm about to say this, but you tell us what we can and can't do." Pearl sighed as Peridot lifted one eyebrow at the Pearl.

"The worst thing you could do is overwhelm Labradorite, it's better if you take a slow approach. Another problem would be getting Labradorite to stay put during the interaction." Peridot pondered before taking a glance at Amethyst and Labradorite.

Amethyst was eagerly trying to pull Labradorite into a conversation. Labradorite was uncomfortably scooting away whilst still sitting on the bench. "That!" Peridot said finally, startling Pearl. "What?"

"I have an idea! You have to follow it directly." Peridot said before beginning to tell Pearl and Garnet her plan.

----

"I tried to talk with her, couldn't get past the conversation starter." Amethyst shrugged walking up to the three gems nodding along to what Peridot was saying.

"So where do we come in?" Pearl asked. "You can figure out who goes up to her first, though I would prefer that you take it very slow, Labradorite does not like it when you go to fast, let her figure out the connection so she feels safe." Peridot explains as Amethyst neared.

"What are we talkin' bout?" Amethyst asked. Peridot walked past Amethyst. "Just let the rest of the Crystal gems tell you, this step needs to be as quick as possible, you're going to need the time you have." Peridot said as she pasted Amethyst, going over to the bench where Labradorite was waiting nervously.

As soon as Labradorite caught eyes with Peridot, she immediately shot up from her seat. "Madem Peri! Your back!" Labradorite smiled.

"Hey, Labby, uh, I have to do something, alone! Just stay here and follow the instructions of any crystal gem, okay?"

Labradorite went to talk, but she held her tounge, looking off to the side before nodding. "Great! I'll be back soon, Labby!" Peridot smiled and dashed off.

Labradorite sat back down on the bench and began to play with her hands. "'Labby', huh?" Labradorite jumped at the voice beside her. Labradorite looked at the short violet quartz beside her and swallowed.

"You two a thing or what?" Amethyst asked, Labradorite looked over to the Amethyst and shook her head. "Bummer...." Amethyst muttered before piping up once more. "You seem stressed." Amethyst said, looking at Labradorite wring out her fingers.

Labradorite swallowed at Amethysts comment. "I-I'm just, uh, not familiar with my surroundings." Labradorite lied, looking over to the Amethyst then forward again. "Uh huh." Amethyst said, raising an eyebrow at Labradorite.

"Look, If you're uncomfortable with me just say that." Amethyst said, making Labradorite jump and snap her head towards Amethyst. "Of course not! I am not uncomfortable with you in the slightest!" Labradorite lied again, Amethyst just looked at her.

"Yeah, You're obviously stressed, come with me." Amethyst hopped off the bench and looked over at Labradorite who didn't move. "Come on, we don't have all day." Labradorite hesitated, before finally hopping off the bench, and, though a bit nervously, followed Amethyst away from the barn.

It was around dark when Amethyst and Labradorite reached Beach City. Amethyst took Labradorite's hand suddenly and guided her over to a building that had a lot of commotion coming from it. Amethyst opened the back door and stretched.

"This is where I come to cool off after a stressfull day. Just follow my lead." Amethyst shape-shifted into a large  burly  thing that looks like it actually belongs there. Labradorite looked up at her with confusion.

"You know how to shape shift right?" Labradorite nodded carefully. "Just shape shifting into what you want, make it quick though, we're almost up." Labradorite blinked at Amethyst as she looked over at the ring. Labradorite's gem glowed and she was enveloped in a bright glow.

"Up next is Purple Puma and a special guest!" The crowd booed. "Against the handsome fellas!" The crowd cheered. Amethyst stepped into the ring with the handsome fellas and started to wrestle with one. The other handsome fella started to sneak up on Amethyst. That is until a whirl of blue smacked him in the chest, making him slam onto the ring floor. Amethyst through the handsome fellas she was wrestling away from her and looked over at the commotion

Labradorite, in a slightly altered form, looked down at the handsome fella she just knocked down with a sense of curiosity in her eyes.

The handsome fella looked up at Labradorite's face and immediately melted. "Talk about who let the dogs out! this pretty pooch made a amazing entrance, let's hope she's not trampled by her own teammate!"

"Awe..." the Handsome fella cooed. Labradorite got up from her spot on the male and hopped out the ring, the handsome fella got up as Amethyst and the other Handsome fella started wrestling again.

The Handsome fella watched as Labradorite came back with a folded metal chair and gave it to the male and went behind him. "What is this little puppy doing?!" Mr Smiley asked the crowd, who gave confused shrugs.

Labradorite summoned her water wings as the Handsome fella just looked at the chair in her face then at the Amethyst who was still wrestling with the other handsome fella.

Suddenly, the Handsome fella's head was smashed into the metal chair, making the man stumbled out the ring Labradorite landed on the rings floor as the crowd made shocked gasps.

"Well she sure showed us! She just kicked the handsome dude into the chair! This puppy ain't what she seems!"  Mr Smiley yelled into the mic.

"Good job, dude!" Amethyst placed a thumbs up at Labradorite. Labradorite looked up at Amethyst and smiled slightly before looking away to the other.

"What's your name, little guy?" Mr Smiley pointed the mic to Labradorite's face. Labradorite looked around to the crowd then back at the mic. "Little Labby."

The crowd cooed at Labradorite's voice. "Labby, huh?" Mr Smiley said, Labradorite nodded. "Nice to meet you, Little Labby." Labradorite smiled. "It's nice to be here." The crowd cooed louder at Labradorite's smile.
