I walk up to Peridot as I devise a strategy. Peridot apparently has a crush on me even though she already has a girlfriend. Sorry Lapis, it's time you get yourself a new girlfriend.

I sort of like Peridot a bit. However, I've never actually had that much affection for her. She really is quite a nerd. And nerds suck! But maybe things will change after this "date" I have planned for the two of us.

After all, I need a new girlfriend. Pearl's gone and I've never been more depressed in my entire life. I know. What I'm about to do is selfish. Well guess what? I don't care. It's time I take matters into my own hands.

I'm going to get Jasper out of the silo even if it's last thing I do. Here's the plan: Small talk due to recent fight. Start off slow. "Hey Peri. Are you doing okay?" Act serious. Don't give anything away.

"I'm fine, Amethyst."
"How has Lapis been?"
"She's also doing fine."
"Listen, I'm sorry, alright? I lost it earlier when I shouldn't have. Maybe you guys are right. She did attack me after all."

"True." Okay. Ask her out on the "date." But don't be obvious with that either. "So, I see the sun looks lovely today. Especially after that fiasco we recently had, am I right?" Peridot looks up at the sun.

"What do you say we take a breather and walk around the place for a bit together? You know, like a friend type of thing. Hang out." Peridot looks back at the barn. She then sighs. "Well, okay then." Alright. The plan is already set in motion.

We start walking. The next part of the plan is to drive ourselves as far away from the barn, as far away from Lapis, as possible. We walk along the fields down towards the lake nearby.

I put a arm around her and she looks over to me. I know she's going to crack very soon. I can see a small blush developing on her cheeks. We reach the lake and I walk towards it. I sit down near the edge.

Next step, put the moves on Peri. And then drive her even further away from the barn. And send her to somewhere other than a lake. Rattle her up a bit first. Peridot notices the lake. She walks up to it and I grab her hand.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Peridot's eyes shine. "But I know someplace even more amazing." I attempt to make her twirl around only to twirl myself towards the ground. "Amethyst!" She catches me before I nearly fall down on my back.

We look into each other's eyes. I stare deep into her soul. I smile as she blushes. Awesome! I got her to crack a bit more. Next up: the confession. I see a small garden nearby. I point over at it. "Woah. Check that out!"

She smiles and I try to blush myself. Still, holding her hand, I run down towards the garden, laughing. We reach the garden and Peridot wanders in, covering her mouth. "Oh my stars. This place...is so beautiful."

She then looks over at me. I fold my arms and I smile. She sighs. "You know, I kinda wish Lapis would take me out to these types of places. We never really go out that much." Here we go. Final step: make out and go in for the lover's kill.

I give her a flirtatious expression. "I go out all the time. I can show you..." I grab ahold of her body and I send her into a hedge. "Everything." I'm sorry, Pearl. I move up to her lips and we kiss. I hold the kiss and then we kiss again, our eyes closed.

Mission accomplished. Peridot lets go of the kiss for a moment. "What is this thing? What are we doing?" She's smiling. I did it. I got her out of reality and I made her fall madly in love with me. I chuckle. "It's called making out, nerd."
