"Wait, I'm supposed to do this upside down?" Peridot asked, adjusting her glasses. Amethyst did that half snort, half laugh thing she usually did and nodded.

"Well duh! You stand on your head so the booze can get there faster!" She grinned as if she just explained the mechanics of a car.

"I don't think you understand the way a human body works Amethyst." Peridot commented before she put her cup down.

"Awww C'mon P-Dot! Do it for the vine!" Amethyst laughed. Peridot rolled her eyes at that line and stared at the challenge before her. An upside down beer chug. The ones who were going to hold her upside down were Garnet and Jasper. She looked a little weary at the thought of being forced to chug from a metal barrel. It seemed easy enough. Just stand on your head and drink as quickly as you can from the hose. The longer you last the more you win. But what was she winning exactly?

"What are the prizes for completing this task?" She asked Amethyst in her monotone voice. Amethyst snickered.

"Uhhm a good time? Oh! Oh! You get to have Pearl over there as a servant for a day!" She pointed over her shoulder to the tall girl dancing in the crowd. Peridot has always wanted to have Pearl carry her things for her. She couldn't wait to see that smug look wiped off her face!

"Nyehehehe! I'll do it!" She could beat this game no problem! She just had to regulate her drinking. Amethyst cheered as Peridot climbed up on the barrel. Garnet grabbed her left leg while Jasper grabbed her right. They gave her to the count of three and lifted her up so she was on her head. Amethyst cheered louder.

"Let's do this!" Garnet yelled with a whoop. Jasper placed the hose on Peridot's lips. By now a small crowd had gathered around the four to see what the commotion was about.

"Get ready Shrimp! Here it comes!" Jasper turned the nozzle.

Peridot's mouth was instantly filled with beer at a quick rate. She gulped it down but more just replaced it. She kept her eyes squeezed shut to keep some overflown beer from getting in her eyes. All she could hear was the pounding music and cheers of "Chug! Chug! Chug!" from the college students in front of her. How many gulps has she taken? How many more did she need? Was it getting warmer? She opened her eyes to find out the world had gone blurry. Her glasses must've fallen off sometime earlier. The blood rushing to her head made her feet feel all tingly. Or maybe that was the booze.

Suddenly the magic warm drink stopped filling her mouth.

"DUDE! SHE DRANK HALF THE BARREL." Jasper yelled.

"No way!" Amethyst yelled. Has her voice always been that shrill? Garnet and Jasper let her down onto her feet.

"THIS GAME WAS TORN DOWN THANKS TO THE PERI-DACTYL!" Amethyst yelled. The crowd around them cheered and began to fight over who was next. Peridot took a step forward, then another. She found it extremely hard to walk normally. Her legs felt like jelly but her head felt hard like a bowling ball. Maybe it was a bowling ball. She stared at a stack of beer cans that looked like pins. She took a step back and grinned. She made a mad dash towards the table and jumped on it. She slid over it and completely knocked over everything.

"Strike!" She yelled and laughed at her own joke. Everything was spinning now and she loved it.

"There you are shrimp." Peridot tilted her head upward and saw Jasper standing above her. She snickered.

"Heeeeeeey Jasper! Where've you been buddy?" She asked. Jasper couldn't help but laugh. She's never seen Peridot so shitfaced before.

"Yeah. I've been lookin for you." She picked up the smaller girl by her collar. Peridot curled herself up. It just made her look more like a kitten.

"I need a favor from you." Peridot smiled.

"Ha! You always need something from me." She paused to wipe her hands on her flannel. "But whatever it is, I'll give it to ya! 'Cuz you're my buddy!"

"Great! I need your car." Jasper said. Peridot never gave anyone the keys to her truck. She only let Jasper have them once and that was so she could buy medicine for a friend.

"Nope." She said and crossed her arms.

"Wha-?! But you just said you would!"

"Call it a truck."

"What?"

"It isn't a car you clod it's a truck! Jus' call it a truck!" She grinned like she just made the best riddle ever. Jasper groaned.

"Fine, I need your truck."

"Wha for?" She asked. Of course she would have follow up questions.

"Some of the stoners are gettin hungry and I need to buy some food for Amethyst."

"Oh! For Amethyst!" She brightened up at hearing her friends name. "Sure! Lets get some food fo-hic for Amethyst!"

Good she was starting to hiccup. That means the beer was still taking effect on Peridot's body. That made things a lot easier for Jasper.


Jasper parked the truck perfectly in the spot and got out.

"C'mon Shrimp we're here." She called. Peridot got out after her. She was still stumbling but Jasper had a feeling she needed to get more booze into her system. She's gonna have one hell of a headache in the morning. They entered the store and took a deep breath. Peridot felt hungry too. She could smell donuts and she wanted them all.

"Hey, stay focused. We're just here for chips." Jasper said. Peridot nodded.

They walked through the aisles looking for the perfect ones to satisfy stoners. Jasper decided Doritoes were their best bet.

"You get the chips, I'm gonna buy us some more booze." Peridot stared at the rows of chips then looked at the bag in her hand. One just didn't seem like enough. How many chips did people usually eat while high? She could usually do this kind of math no problem but with the liqour in her head she just guessed 1 bag per person. So that would add up to 20 bags right?

She shrugged and placed 20 Dorito bags into her basket then zoomed to Checkout. The cashier seemed a little worried but let her pay for them nonetheless. She met up with Jasper at the door.

"Here ya go shrimp, drink up!" She passed Peridot a beer. The blonde girl smiled wide and opened it. By the way she chugged it Jasper guessed it was a good idea to get the six pack.


When Peridot showed up with 20 bags of chips everyone was either too drunk or too high to think maybe it was too much. So they cheered instead.

Jasper was surprised to see that they actually got Pearl high! The straight A student, high on weed. She and Amethyst were snickering and leaning against each other. Its the most chummy anyone has seen of them. Peridot had wandered off looking for more alcohol. Her eyes were incredibly blurry that she couldn't see much of anything. Her glasses weren't doing anything. They probably would get scratched if they stayed on her face. So she took her glasses off and put them in her sock. The safest place in her mind.

It doesn't take long until the party got quiet due to blue and red flashing lights. Everyone gets quiet as the officers walk in. Amethyst, having delt with cops many times before, waltzed over to them with a devious grin.

"Yees?" She said curiously. The cop stared at her sternly and looked around.

"It's just a party team. Lets go." He knew already that trying to gather evidence against the girl was like trying to blowing up a popped balloon. Useless and exhausting. So they left camly. When the lights were out of sight everyone cheered and got back to what they were doing.

Peridot hardly noticed the inturrption as she was busy trying to remeber how hands worked. The smoke from the stoners was starting to get to her as well. She could handle it though. Right? Yeah she could. Peridot tripped over her own foot and fell. This was so funny to her that she turned on her side from laughing so much. She needed to get home now for sure.

"HEY SHRIMP!" Jasper called getting the small blondes attention. She had someone behind her but it was just too blurry for her to see. If only she had her glasses. Peridot sat upright and narrowed her eyes. She was trying to make out more than just a blue on tan blob. As they got closer she could notice a short flowing shirt and shorts. Definitely a girl in Jasper's hand. She blinked her green eyes up at her towering friend.

"I'm notta shrimp. I'm human. I can't even swim!" She said, stating her confusion. Jasper shook her head with a laugh.

"Not what I meant. Anyway, I'd like you to meet someone." Jasper said, pulling Peridot up on her feet. Now that she was close enough to the girl she could see a few more features. She had a flowing blue dress on that clung to her mid section showing her flat stomach. Her eyes were a light blue like the sky and she had matching blue hair that hung short over her shoulders. When she looked down she could see a tan line over her ankle, so she usually had something over that spot when she was in the sun. Looking back up Peridot concluded one thing about the girl. She was smoking hot.

"Lapis. Lapis Lazuli." She said nicely, holding her hand out. Peridot took it dumbly and shook it. Jasper grinned victoriously at Peridot's amazed look. Lapis laughed nervously. She didn't exactly know what to do now. Of course the tiger striped girl just patted her on the back and stepped away.

"You two have fun! I'll let you both get to know each other." With an encouraging pat to Peridot she disappeared into the crowd. Lapis looked down to the girl in front of her. Maybe this'll be good for her.

"I wish I was DNA helicase 'cuz then I'd be unzipping your genes." Peridot grinned. Lapis just stared. Or maybe she was going to be stuck with a nuisance all night.


Hey guys! I hope you enjoyed the second chapter of this story. It took me a while longer because I am insanely lazy and it took some time to figure out how Peridot would act drunk. If you have questions for this story or any of my stories ylu can always ask me on messages or leave a review for a public answer. I think I'll leave one more chapter focusing on Lapis' view of everything. So, please leave a review and give me something to read!

Question for you:

I think I should make a different account for cartoons like Steven U and Miraculous Ladybug, should I?
