Do I have a Chance?
After breaking a chair and taking deep breaths, Lapis decided to to watch Camp Pining Hearts. She puts in Season 3 and presses the play button. "Percy loves me!" Yelled a familiar female voice as she tugged on a rope with a flag in the middle."No! He loves me!" Pierre gave a violent tug back and they start yelling at each other back and forth. Lapis was quickly reminded of two situations and shuts the TV off. 'Deep Breaths. Take deep breaths.' thought Lapis as she quickly turn off the TV and paces around the barn. Peridot was usually the one to calm her down. She was the one to comfort her, to try to make her laugh, and to reassure her that she is safe. "But Peridot is not here!" Lapis yelled balling her hair in fists and listening to her echo. Usually she was fine on her own but ever since she realized her feelings, she couldn't stand being apart from Peridot. She couldnt take it anymore. She called Steven using the phone he gave her (with no screen of course) and decided to hang out with him.

She warps to the temple and is relieved to find no one there. She sits herself on his bed and waits. Its hard to stay calm if the purple gemstone on the temple door was ticking her off. Unbelievable. Peridot doesn't even belong with her. They are not even alike.How are you supposed to like someone who isn't just like you?"Hello Lapis." Lapis jumped up and went into defense mode. Well more like a awkward karate pose that she saw in a book somewhere. "Oh its just you." Lapis said similar to the way a certain ruby said it before Peridot's ship went down. "Steven is taking a shower so you will have to wait." Pearl said folding her hands together and staring right at Lapis. Lapis only nodded and looked away. She didn't like Pearl but she was better than that overcooked runt. "Oh great. Now I'm sounding like Jasper." Lapis mumbled to herself. "Excuse me?" Pearl said raising an eyebrow. "Its nothing" Lapis said still not looking at her. She felt Pearl slowly sit down next to her. There was an awkward silence before Pearl broke it with a question that made Lapis turned her head violently towards her. "You love Peridot. Don't you?" Lapis felt like kicking herself. Was she that obvious? She sighed before looking away again. "What gave me away?" "Amethyst told me." Lapis almost flipped the bed at the moment. When I find that stupid, no good runt, I'm going to grab her and- "I think you should tell her how you feel." Pearl said putting a hand on her shoulder and snapping her out of her thoughts. "Do you really think I have a shot?" Lapis mumbled forgetting who she was talking to."Of course you do. You two are more alike than you realized. Both of you were trapped on earth, both of you wanted to go home, and both of you don't know what to call home anymore. You two need each other. You two are the only ones that can understand each other. You complete each other." Pearl said giving a smile. Lapis gave a smile in return. Maybe Pearl ain't so bad after all. "Alright I'm back!" Steven yelled running towards them. "I thought you were taking a shower." Pearl asked looking at his dry hair and still dirty shirt. "I already did." Steven laughed nervously before grabbing Lapis by the hand and leading her towards the door. "I got to take you to the Big Donut! You will love Lars and Sadie! And especially Donuts!" Steven had stars in his eyes and was jumping up and down like a 6 year old. Lapis giggled at his summer beach fun buddy. "Anything for you Steven." Lapis said before turning to Pearl. "And thanks." Lapis said quickly before running out of the door."BYE PEARL! BE BACK SOON! LOVE YA!"

"Amethyst. Can we talk for a sec?" Garnet said as she, Amethyst, and Peridot walked around Funland. "K, just let me pick out a game for P-dot over here. Hey how about this one P-dot?" Amethyst said pointing to a dart and balloon game. "Yeah! Just one question. How do you play?" Peridot said with a sheepish grin on her face.After explaining a million times and almost stabbing someone in the eye, Peridot fianlly managed to understand how the game works. "Great job! Now you keep on winning and me and Garnet will be right back." Amethyst said patting her on the back before grabbing a corn dog from the floor and joining Garnet on a bench. "What's up G?" Amethyst said taking a bite out of a corn dog. "When are you going to tell her?" Amethyst almost choked which was impossible for her to do. Ugh I told Pearl not to tell anyone! Amethyst thought as she forced the corn dog down painfully. "I don't know G. Do you think I have a chance with her?" Amethyst sighed and looked at Peridot who was busy arguing with the Funland person about the game being rigged. "Opposites attract." Garnet said lifting up her shades and giving a wink. "Yeah! You're right! She's the brain, I'm the muscle, she's the neat one, I'm the messy one, and she's from home world, and I'm from earth!" Amethyst said grinning. "Just like Ruby and Sapphire." Garnet smiled before ruffling her hair and getting up to leave. "Amethyst! Look what I won!" Peridot showed another green alien, a purple puma, and a blue dolphin plush proudly. "I won them all! Here have this one!" Peridot handed her the purple puma plush. "Aww thanks Peri!" Amethyst said blushing slightly. "And this one is for Lapis!" Peridot showed off the blue dolphin. Ugh she always have to mention Lapis. What's so great about her anyway? She even called her cute when that roommate ad popped up. Amethyst's mood is quickly replaced by jealousy. She narrowed her eyes before feeling a hand on her shoulder. "Let's go show Peridot the Big donut." Garnet said as Amethyst puts on a fake smile. "Oh man Peri! You are gonna love it!" Amethyst grabbed her hand and starts heading towards the Big Donut. "Oh and Garnet" Amethyst said turning her head towards her. "Yes Amethyst?" Garnet said smiling at her.
"Thanks" Amethyst said with her jealousy forgotten. "No problem" Garnet said before all three of them sprinted towards the Big Donut.
