*Hey guys I'm back to

finally finish this

story! yay!*

A few weeks have passed since Pearl had last spoken to Garnet. But she just couldn't speak to her, it was hard enough to be around her. Everything hurt when she was around Garnet, when she would look at the taller gem, walked passed her, or even thought about her, she thought of her mistake. Amethyst was getting a little irritated that Garnet hadn't done anything yet, but tried to have patience, knowing the stoic gem had something in mind...

Garnet's room...

Garnet sat on her bed and waited for Amethyst. She decided to the smaller gem her plan that took her weeks to finally perfect. She smiled at the thought of surprising Pearl with a date that Garnet was sure she would love! 'Okay, I need to make sure that I have everything...' She went through her mental list of things she needed, 'Hmm, I'm forgetting something...' Then it clicked in her head, 'The reservation!.' Her joy grew, she had saved money to go a special restaurant that was new to Beach City.

"Garnet?" Garnet turned around and saw Amethyst standing in the doorway. "Good, you're here."

"Well you seem happy. What's up?"

"Well, I have a plan." Amethyst raised an eyebrow, "To?" Garnet tilted her head, then it clicked in her head what Amethyst had asked, "Oh, to um...woo Pearl." Garnet blushed lightly, that really wasn't the word she wanted to use, but it was close enough. Amethyst smiled, "Cool. But wait, why did you want to tell me this?"

"Because I kind of need your help..."

"Oh, okay! So, what do I need to do?" Garnet slyly smiled, "Well, I need you to get Pearl dressed up and bring her here." She handed Amethyst a slit of paper with the restaurant's address on it. "I already have the date set up for tomorrow evening when Steven stays with dad for the weekend." Amethyst nodded her head in response as Garnet told specific instructions to make sure this date went perfectly.

"Alright is that it then?" Garnet nodded, "Yes, thank you, Amy!" Garnet hugged Amethyst before the younger girl left. 'She my be a pain sometimes, but I wouldn't trade her for anything in the universe.' Garnet went through plan again, knowing she was one step closer to her happy ever after.

Pearl's room...

"Hey Pearl!" Pearl looked up from her book to see Amethyst waving a magazine in front of her face. "What do need Amethyst, and please quite waving that thing in my face." Amethyst smiled like that Cheshire cat, "C'mon, P! Just look through it with me! You gotta have an outfit for tomorrow night anyways!" Pearl looked at the purple gem with confusion, "Why do I need an outfit for tomorrow night?"

"Because you gotta a date!"

"What? When did this happen?" Pearl was even more confused. "Yea, I set you up a blind date. And your going 'cause I'm tired of seeing you slouch around all the time!" Pearl sighed, annoyed, "Why did you do this? I'm fine..."

"No you're not! Now, " She thumbed through the pages, and stopped on one particular, "Ooh! Looked at this one!" Pearl put her book and offered seat next to her for Amethyst to show her the clothing item. Pearl saw a simple red dress, "Eh, I would prefer blue..."

"Okay, let's find a blue one then!" Amethyst seemed more thrilled about this than anyone. they searched through the catalog magazine until one dress caught Pearl's eye. "Ooh, I like this one." Amethyst looked at it, and agreed. The dress was beautiful. It was strapless, the top part of it was blue, and sparkly. The rest of it faded from the top part's blue to a purplish color. It was a few inches above the models knees, but Pearl thought it was perfect length. "I like it, why don't you try it out, to see how it looks on you." Pearl nodded her head in agreement. She stood up, and with a flash of her gem, she change into the dress.

"Definitely!" The dress gave her a figure, and with her pale skin color, it blended perfectly. "Oh, and I could do your make-up!" Pearl thought a minute, "Oh, alright!" Although Pearl may not admit it, she was actually having fun with Amethyst. 'Perhaps we should spend more time together!' Pearl smiled as her and Amethyst discussed how Pearl should look for tomorrow night. "Oh, and we should lay your hair down!" Pearl's eyes widen, "Uh, no. I look terrible with my hair down!"

"Oh c'mon! You've probably never tried it!" Pearl sighed, "Let's just see how it looks down..." Amethyst got a brush and drug Pearl to the closest waterfall. "Okay, just stick your head in, and I'll just brush your hair when you pull out." Pearl rolled her eyes, knowing this was going to end badly. Pearl took a deep breathe and stuck her head in the cold water. When she pulled out, she felt Amethyst pull her arm down, making her sit on ground.

When Amethyst finished, she gasped, "Wow! You look great with your hair down!" Pearl looked into the waterfall and gasped, it did look great. Her hair naturally curled into adorable little curls all around her head. "Um, if I wear my hair down like this all the time, um...do you think Garnet would notice?" Amethyst smirked, "Maybe...you still like her don't you?" Pearl blushed, "Yea..."

Amethyst just shook her head and smiled, "Well, before your date tomorrow, I'm going to hairspray your hair so it stays that way through the night, okay?" Pearl nodded, "Okay..."

The next night...

Garnet took a deep breathe as she waited at the restaurant for Pearl. 'I hope she's coming...' She looked up at the clock; 7:55. 'Five minutes until eight, where is she?' Garnet was slowly starting to lose hope until she saw her. 'Oh my goodness...' Garnet's jaw dropped when she saw her, the way her hair fell perfectly, her make-up complemented everything, and her dress was just beautiful.

"I'm here for the party of two."

"What is your name, dear?"

"Pearl."

"Okay, right this way."

When Pearl reached the table, she couldn't believe her eyes, "G-Garnet?!" Garnet stood up and smiled, and she took a small bow, sticking out her hand, waiting for Pearl to take it. Pearl blushed and took Garnet's hand. Garnet led her to the other side of the table. Garnet pulled out the chair for Pearl. Pearl sat down, and waited for Garnet to do the same.

Garnet sat down, looking into Pearl's eyes, she could tell Pearl was amazed. "So, I guess I did a good job?"

"More like an amazing job! I've been wanting to come here for some time now." The restaurant was Renaissance themed, and it had amazing decor, along with a ballroom floor that looked as though if it was made out of a giant mirror. And, at the very top in the ballroom, was a huge crystal chandelier.

"I'm glad you like it-" Before Garnet could continue a waitress came to their table and asked for their orders. After they ordered, the waitress said their meal would take at least 30 minutes. "Well, if it's going to take that long, would like to go dance?" Pearl nodded, and they left. Garnet held Pearl's hand as they walked to the ballroom.

When they got there, a slow song began to play. Garnet put her hand on Pearl's waist, while the other was still holding her hand. Pearl put her hand on Garnet's shoulder. Garnet's attire was picked specifically for the occasion, it was also similar to the other men. She had a red coat with buttons, white pants, and black boots. Her choice in dress was something no one had worn since the 1800's but tonight that's what everyone went for.

Their perfect moment didn't last long though. "Hey lesbos, get off the floor!" Some teenaged boy was yelling across the ballroom floor for some reason. Garnet broke away from Pearl and lifted her coat sleeves. "Garnet, no, let's just go..." Garnet sighed, "I'm sorry, Pearl." As she took Pearl's hand, to take their leave. Then the teenager and his friends did something terrible. They started throwing food at them as they were trying to leave, most of it hit Pearl.

Garnet had had enough, she walked over to them and gave them a small piece of her mind. This, of course, did not go unnoticed. Pearl and Garnet were escorted off the premises. Pearl started to cry, this was supposed to be her night and it was ruined for liking the same gender. "Pearl, don't cry, please." Pearl couldn't take it, she had to go. "Pearl! Wait!" But she was gone. 'This...this is all my fault.' Garnet wiped off the leftover food that was on her coat. She sighed and started for home.

When she got there, her third eye picked up on someone up next to the lighthouse. 'Pearl...' Then an idea popped in her head...

Up at the lighthouse...

Pearl sat with her knees next to her chest, crying. She looked up at the moon, 'Why can't this be a fairytale?' She stood up for a second to wiped the food off her dress, then she sat back down again. A few minutes went by, and when Pearl decided she would go in, she ran into Garnet. "Garnet? What are you doing up here?"

"I came up here to finish our dance. So, may we?" She bowed with her hand outstretched. Pearl sniffled, and smiled, "Yes, of course." She took Garnet's hand, Garnet pulled her close, "Pearl, I'm sorry..."

"For what?"

"I wanted to make this night as special as I could, but...I guess, I made the wrong choice didn't I?" Pearl looked up at her, mascara running down her cheeks, Garnet chuckled, "You have something...right there." She took her thumb and gently wiped off the make-up, "Plus, I think you look prettier without it." Pearl laid her head down on Garnet's shoulder as they danced in the moonlight. "Garnet?" Garnet looked down at her, "Yes?" She smiled at how adorable she was. But, in the silence, Pearl randomly just kissed her. Garnet melted in the kiss, that kiss full of passion and fireworks, and just amazing.

When they broke, both gems were blushing. "P-Pearl, that was...amazing." Pearl blushed deeper, "Y-yea..." She looked back up at the darker gem, and kissed her again. Garnet kissed her back, thinking, 'This...this is my happily ever after.'
