I reach the barn and I get on the car. I sit down next to Peridot. She turns her head away from me. "What do you want?" I look at the TV to see Camp Pining Hearts is on as usual.

"Look, I'm sorry, alright?" No response. "I just...I just..." I blush and Peridot responds. "Why did I even fall in love with you in the first place, Amethyst?" I look down. "Amethyst, admit it. You tricked me, didn't you?"

I cover my face. "I can't believe you. Why did you do it? Were you depressed? Were you seriously that desperate? Were you just trying to use me to free Jasper against Lapis' wishes?"

I tear up. "Unbelievable." She gets up and I put my hands down to look at her. "I thought you cared, Amethyst. You tore me apart...from love. You have every right to blame yourself for what you did."

I continue tearing up. "I'm sorry."
"I don't think you are. What have you done in not even a week? You betray your own family, you lied to me and Lapis, you went out of your way to hurt Jasper and then take her home to us."

She tears up. "And then, even though you knew what the consequences were going to be, you set me up for a fall!" She raises a fist and I close my eyes. She punches me across the face as hard as she could.

"And now, I don't think I will ever be loved or forgiven for what I did ever again! And it's all because of you!" "Peridot." She turns her back towards me, folding her arms. "Get out, Amethyst. It's over. We're...through."

I get up. "Can you at least forgive me?" Peridot sits down and sighs. "Only if you leave the barn for the night and don't come back until morning." I turn away from Peridot. "I'm sorry."
"NOW, AMETHYST!"

I walk away from her as I leave. I jump off the ledge and I start walking out. And then I hear water. I stop and I look up at the ceiling. "Peridot." "Lapis."
"Are you okay?"

"Aggravated."
"Right. Listen, I'm sorry for what I did. I didn't know what came over me. I-"
"It's okay."
"Huh?"

"I understand. Ngah! I can't believe I did that! I shouldn't have even met Amethyst in the first place! Not like that!"
"Not like what?"
"One day, I was working on a drill head."

I blush. "I accidentally started up the drill and the whole thing went insane all over the place! I then saw Amethyst. She was about to get run over by its rampage. I struggled to break free from the leash that was attached to me.

"When I did, I flew right into Amethyst. We looked into each other's eyes and we just stared at each other for a moment before I got off of her. It was the first time I really saw Amethyst like that."

"So is that why?"
"No. Well, sort of. She wanted to walk with me. I saw no harm in it. I just walked off with her and I had no idea I was leaving you behind. And then we kissed and..." She pauses.

"I don't know what's going to happen between the two of us anymore. This is all my fault. You must hate me right now for what I did."
"Peridot, I never hated you. I just didn't understand you."

"And from that time I used you as an informant. I was tall at the time."
"I'm not gonna lie, you actually looked kinda cool with those things on you." "They're called limb enhancers."
"I saw you. And you saw me. We saw each other."

Peridot chuckles. "How could I say anything to you?" I hear them getting up. "It's not like I could just grab your hand and start putting the moves on-!" Something slams into the barn.

"You." Silence. "Oh my gosh! Lapis, your gem!"
"Peridot, I'm fine."
"No, you're not fine! I'll go get the pan!" I can hear Peridot running. "Don't worry Lapis, you're going to be okay!"

She then trips. I hear Lapis chuckling.
"It's okay! I got it!" Peridot runs back over to Lapis. "It's going to be OKAY!" I hear the pan spill and Lapis laughs. "You're such a clutz!" I can hear a hand dip into the pan.

"What's so funny?!"
"I'm sorry! You're just so funny!" Silence. I can hear moving. "We're so much alike. We were both..."
"Used?"
"By Quartzes."

"True."
"We were stuck with Jasper."
"Jasper."
"You can control water."
"And you can control...metal."
"I don't know. What are we?"

"We are Gems that...care about each other. We've come from similar places. We are just so connected." Silence. "Do you think that maybe..." "Maybe."
"We could be happy...together?"
"And find closure within each other?"

"Maybe...we can forgive each other?" Silence. "I'm sorry." And then I hear them kiss for a moment. "Should we... make out?"
"What do you think?" And then I hear them laugh again before they start kissing once more.
