Lapis's pov

"I'll get it!" I rushed to open the door as the only guests I cared about arrived. "Mangano!"

"Ugh, she's here?" Jasper scowled from the other room.

"Pretend she doesn't exist. Come on in!"

"Lappy!" Mangano's hyperactive daughter wrapped her arms around my legs, and Mangano attempted to pull her off.

"Hey Lapis. Thanks for inviting us. My parents got reservations for their first date in four years, so we were just going to do something alone."

"It's fine, Mangano." I looked away from the effort on my legs, which were losing feeling, and looked at the other girl. "You must be Moonstone." The girl shot finger guns at me.

"Lapizza Lazuli. Call me Moona." Lapizza Lazuli? Sounds like a meme.

"Alright then. We were just about to sit down and eat. Let's go." In the Kitchen/Living room, everyone sat around talking. Jasper and Yellen Diamond whispered to each other, my mom spoke to Yellow Diamond about the Turkey, and Tigereye sat talking to one of his "friends" on the phone. Something about some "easy money".

"Alright, let's eat now that everybody's here." I sat down between Mangano and Yellen, admiring the food my mother and I had prepared.

"Let's give thanks before we eat." We all went around in a circle stating things we were grateful for. My favorite by far was Sleepy Lavender Opal's("I'm thangful for dis food.").

When it was my turn, I thought for a moment.

"I'm thankful for my mom and my friends."

(A/N) Happy Thanksgiving!
