The Return Of Lapis

When will you be back…..When will you be back….. When will you be back….. Peridot's words rang in Lapis's head. No one knew, but she could hear and feel things as her gem. If she talked, though, no one would hear her except herself.

"Don't worry Peri….. I'm almost ready." Lapis would never admit it, but she felt something for Peridot. Was it…. Love? She didn't think it was, but she wasn't sure. She would find out later.

A drop of warm water hit her gem. She could hardly see out her gem, it looked like blurs. But she could make out that she was in the barn with Peridot holding her. That must mean the warm water was…. Tears. She didn't like when Peridot cried.

Lapis felt herself being placed somewhere. She saw a blue blur next to her. "I wonder what it is…." She said to herself.

As soon as Peridot woke up she picked up Lapis's gem and gave it a small, sad smile. Lapis couldn't take it anymore. Her gem started to glow, and she went into the air. Then she reformed. She looked the same.

"LAPIS!" Once Lapis landed on the ground, she went over to Peridot and hugged her. Peridot had no idea what Lapis was doing, but she returned the embrace anyways.

"Lapis, you look exactly the same." Said Peridot, trying to find a difference in Lapis.

Maybe the difference is love…. Thought Lapis. "Peridot, what's that?" Lapis pointed over to Coral.

"Um….. A dolphin….. Her name is… Coral Lapis Lazuli." Lapis was sure she saw Peridot blush when she said the dolphin's name. "I got her yesterday."

"Ok….. Peridot, I have to tell you something."

They stayed silent until Peridot said, "Well what is it Lapis?"

Lapis sat down, pulling Peridot down as well. She put Peridot's hands in hers and leaned closer. "Peridot, I like you." Lapis awaited Peridot's answer. Suddenly, she felt lips against hers. Lapis returned the kiss. They stopped after a few seconds.

"I like you too."

"That was… Nice."

"Yeah, it was."

"I love you Peri."

"I love you too Lappy."
