Dinner
"Lapis, What is this dinner?" Peridot questioned as she tied on her bow tie.
"Err. Its some thing humans do when they sit together and put things in their mouths. I think." Lapis said as she stared at the alien plush that has now been in a tank for about three days.
"Ew. Who came up with that idea?"
"I'm not sure. Steven says it supposed to be-"
"I mean, that idea is so disturbing! Why would humans even think of putting things in their mouths?! Earth is so complicated.. I must take notes." Peridot grabbed her notepad (voice recorder was broken) and headed towards the warp pad. "Well we don't got all year Lapis! Come on!"
Lapis rolled her eyes and blushed a bit. How she fell in love with that dork, she will never know. She flew on the warp pad and felt the rays consume them.

"Steven! The forks aren't in the correct order!"
"I thought we were using spoons.."
"Why can't we just use our hands P?"
"We have guests Amethysts."
"Peridot won't mind."
"And what about our other guest?"
"She can suc-"
"Hey everyone! Do you like my new look?" Peridot yelled as the warp pad activated and revealed two gems.
"You look great Peridot!"
"Yeah! You are really rocking that bow tie P-dot!"
"Oh please. No more praising! Well maybe just a few more." "Alright Peridot, please take a seat. Lapis you can sit next to me." Pearl said as she set the table.
Lapis could practically feel the stares burning on her. She knew that they still remember the donut shop incident. She scanned the table and realized what the Pearl was trying to do. She was trying to take Peridot away from her and the defective runt. She made sure that Peridot would not be next to either of them.
She felt anger rising up but she pushed it back down. This is going to be a long night....
