Change

Garnet ended up agreeing to check out Jasper's new work out regime which ultimately led them to sparring in the Sky Arena.

"Aight, quit," Jasper huffs out as Garnet slams her to the ground, restricting her arms her gauntlets.

"Concede," Garnet says from her position on top of Jasper, her face merely inches from Jasper's.

Jasper stares determinedly and stubbornly at Garnet. She refuses to admit she lost. Though, in this position, she doesn't feel like she lost.

"Concede and admit I won," Garnet says as she tightens her grip on Jasper's wrists, bringing them up before slamming them down again.

Jasper grimaces slightly but doesn't say a word. Instead, she can't help but stare at Garnet; who's face is just as stoic as any other time. The only indication that she used any energy is the sweat dripping down her face, a few stray curls have found their way outside of her afro and the slight heavy breathing coming from her.

Jasper couldn't help but think that she rather liked Garnet like this compared to any other time. Not to mention she has quite a nice view of Garnet's cleavage. It's not like she hasn't noticed the fusion's figure, it's just that after last week's mission, she can't stop thinking about the fusion.

Jasper tries to force Garnet off of her by leaning forward, hoping the latter would release her wrists but instead, their mouths connected. It was quick and explosive.

Garnet quickly lets go of Jasper's wrists and pulls back. She doesn't say a word, just stands up and begins heading back to the warp pad.

Jasper wants to grab Garnet and force her to talk to her, but instead she stands up, dusts herself off and follows Garnet.

..

When the two arrive back, everything is dark and the house is empty. In the slight distance the voices of Steven, Connie, Amethyst and Peridot can be heard.

Garnet immediately makes her way to the door. She knows that Jasper is behind her but she doesn't want to speak, she doesn't want to think about what happened back in the sky arena.

As the two make their way down to the beach, they see Amethyst carrying a screaming Peridot in her arms as she runs to the ocean before tossing her in. Steven is chasing Connie around the beach, probably to do the same thing that Amethyst did to Peridot.

"Steven nooooooooo!" Connie screams as Steven finally manages to get hold of her.

"Oh, hey Garnet, hey Jasper," Steven says as he acknowledges the two tallest members of the Crystal Gems.

"What are you doing?" Jasper asks as she walks around Garnet to get a better look at the situation.

"Nothing, just playing." Steven laughs. "Want to play? We're trying to see who can dunk the others the fastest."

Jasper looks around before stopping back at Steven. "I think I'll pass," she says.

"Still afraid of the water?" Garnet questions, turning to the large warrior.

Jasper squints her eyes. "No, it'll just be unfair because I'm bigger and stronger than them. I'd win easily." Jasper finishes and crosses her arms.

"You're sure about you winning?" Garnet questions.

"I never lose," Jasper says and puffs her chest out.

"Let's see about that," Garnet replies with a smirk as she crosses her arms.

Steven looks between Garnet and Jasper with stars in his eyes. "Ahhh! Are y'all going to play? I want to be on Jasper's team!" Steven yells as Amethyst and Peridot make their way over to them.

"What's going on? I wana be a part of it," Amethyst blurts out.

"Garnet and Jasper are going to join us," Steven says bouncing up and down. "I call Jasper's team!" he calls again.

"Amethyst," Garnet calls.

Jasper looks between Connie and Peridot. "Peridot."

Garnet nods her head and turns toward Connie. "Looks like you're with me. You ready?"

Connie smiles nervously. "Yes, Garnet."

Garnet smiles at Connie before turning her attention to Jasper. "May the best team win." Garnet outstretches her hand and Jasper looks at it before taking it and shaking it.

The teams were pretty matched and for a while they sort of just tit for tat. That was until Garnet and Amethyst snuck up behind Jasper and dragged her under the water by her ankle. Amethyst quickly pops up declaring that her team won and Garnet simply rises from the water. Jasper doesn't emerge.

"Where's Jasper?" Steven answers when he notices that Jasper hasn't popped up from the water.

Amethyst ducks back under the water and notices Jasper swimming farther out to sea. "She's swimming away."

"Why?" Steven questions.

"I'll go see," Garnet comments as she turns and swims away. What's the matter with her?

..

Jasper couldn't believe she lost. They were sneaky with that last trick they pulled. She should have won.

Jasper was so in her thoughts that she didn't notice as Garnet swam up next to her.

What does she want? Jasper questions as she turns to look at Garnet. Pointing her eyes upward, Jasper begins her ascend to the surface.

"What do you want?" Jasper questions as she pops up.

"Why'd you leave?" Garnet questions back.

"I just did." Jasper crosses her arms while still submerged in water.

"That's not an explaination. Why did you leave?" Garnet two folds her arms.

Jasper looks away and Garnet sighs.

"This is because you lost ... again?" Garnet questions.

"Again? Felt like I won the last time," Jasper says before swimming away.
