Bitter words
"So Steven, what are these donuts you are talking about?" Lapis asked as they entered a building with a huge round thing on it. "Its like one of the best things in the world! You are gonna love them!" Steven said before walking to the front and started chatting with a short human. "Oh! I almost forgot! Lapis meet Sadie! Sadie meet Lapis!" Steven said as he brung lapis closer to her. "Hello Lapis its nice to meet you." Sadie said putting a hand out to shake. "Uhh hi?" Lapis said awkwardly as she just stared at the hand. Sadie fake coughed and turned her attention to Steven. "Wasn't she the one that stole the ocean?" she whispered as Steven quickly nodded and said some words Lapis didn't make out. She felt something in her gut that made her feel nervous and scanned Steven before seeing something shiny in his pocket. She was about to ask before the door chimed open and she diverted her attention towards it in which she regretted immediately. Her once nervous feeling was replaced by anger but she shoved it aside and turned towards Steven ignoring the three gems entering the door. "LAPIS!" a familiar high pitched voice yelled as she came running up towards her. "Hey Peridot." Lapis puts on a fake smile, feeling all eyes and attention towards them. "Look what I won you! I won it fair and square! Well, not really but that guy had it coming!" Peridot rambled before pushing a blue dolphin towards her. Lapis was touched. She did all of that just to make her happy? "Thank you Peridot." Lapis said before bending down and giving her a hug. "HEY PERIDOT! HOW ABOUT we try a donut?" Amethyst said tugging her away from Lapis and towards the other menu. Lapis growled. "You-" "Hey Lapis what flavor do you want?" Steven asked squeezing her hand and looking up at her with an innocent smile. As much as she loves Peridot, Steven was her favorite person ever and he will always cheer up Lapis. No matter how mad or sad she was. Lapis smiled. "I think the vanilla one sounds good." Lapis said, naming the first donut flavor on the menu. Steven ordered 3 donuts and placed 12 shiny pieces of metal on the counter. 'So that was the shiny thing in his pocket.' Lapis thought as she tried to make out how the money system worked. She went towards an empty table and sat down. Peridot suddenly joined her. "Hey Lapis?" "Yes Peridot?" "You forgot to take the dolphin." Peridot said as she handed it to her. "Oh thanks Peri." Lapis said giving a smile. Peridot looked surprised. Lapis realized that she had called her Peri. "Oh sorry! I meant Peridot!" Lapis said looking nervous. " No it's fine. Really. You can call me Peri. If you let me call you Lappy." Peridot said grinning. "Deal." Lapis said returning a grin. "Hey P dot! Garnet needs you for uhh some stuff." Amethyst said not even looking at Peridot but striaght at Lapis. "Oh okay! Be right back!.... Lappy." She giggled the last part before running off like a little kid who just did something that would make someone annoyed. Amethyst's grin was replaced with a blank look before sitting down where Peridot used to be and turning to Lapis. "I know what you are doing. And its not going to work." Amethyst said in a deep voice. Lapis narrowed her eyes. "Pearl told me how you felt. Peridot just doesn't belong with you." Amethyst let out a glare. "What makes you so sure that she belongs with you? You are just a emo freak who only thinks about herself." Lapis gritted her teeth. "And you're just a mistake. At least I didn't come out wrong." Amethyst banged the table cracking it a little. "Well this MISTAKE saved you from that stupid fusion Malachite! I feel bad for Jasper for being stuck with a monster like YOU!" Amethyst yelled as everyone turned their attention towards them. Steven looked more nervous than he should be, Peridot just stared, and Garnet stopped a donut midway from entering her mouth. Lapis got up immediately and threw the table through the window towards the ocean. "Wanna tell me that to my face again?" Lapis spat out. Amethyst opened her mouth before being cut off by Garnet. "I think that's enough for today. Let's take these to go and leave." Garnet said as she grabbed Amethyst and a bag of donuts and ran out. "I think that's enough for us as well. Here's money for the damage Saide! Nice seeing you bye!" Steven said quickly as he grabbed Lapis and Peridot and quickly walked towards the temple. Lapis took the dolphin Peridot gave her and gave it a hug.That runt just made a mistake of challenging her anger. She was going to win Peridot. Even if she has to get through that Amethyst first in order to do that.
