It was another boring afternoon. Not just boring, but slow. It's like the day just won't go by fast enough, and just oozes by like molasses. Amethyst laid in the couch, her head hanging off one of the armrests. Out of boredom, she decided she wanted to eat something. But she was too lazy to get up.

"Pearl!" She shouted into the kitchen.

"What?" Pearl shouted back, her tone obviously stating she was in a bad mood.

"Can you make me something to eat? Pretty please?" Amethyst sat upright on the couch. Pearl was behind the counter, packing Steven a lunch for his next day-mission with Garnet. "And why would I do that?" Pearl asked, opening the fridge and grabbing a juice box.

"Because you love me!" Amethyst smiled, and repositioned herself so her head was touching the floor, and her legs were on the couch.

Pearl rolled her eyes and put the juice box in Stevens lunchbag. "As if that's a valid reason." Pearl snapped back. "Make something yourself." She zipped up the lunchbag and put it on the end table by the front door. But still, Pearl went back to the kitchenette and took some ham and bread from the fridge, and proceeded to make Amethyst a ham sandwich.

"THANKS!" Amethyst yelled at Pearl, who was going to her room. Pearl just ignored her, and opened her door.

Amethyst shoved the sandwich in her mouth in one giant bite, then flicked on the TV. She flicked the channels, looking for something at least half decent to watch, but nothing came up. Amethyst gave up trying, and just lazily laid on he couch.

A flash of light came from the warp pad, and Garnet stepped off into the beach house.

"Yo Garnet!" Amethyst shouted, and was greeted back with Garnets signature wave.

"Have you seen Pearl anywhere?" Garnet asked.

"Yup, I think she's in her room or something." Amethyst said back, an unsure tone in her voice.

Garnet nodded, and opened her door. Somehow, Garnet knew how to get into everyone's rooms from her own if she needed to. Kinda cool, almost creepy. Not that she did it very often, though.

Just as Garnet went in her room, Pearl came out of hers. Amethyst laughed at the irony. "Garnets looking for you. She JUST went in her room."

Pearl awkwardly laughed. "Pretty ironic!" She said, in the tone she used when she tried to lie. She adjusted the shoulder straps on the small backpack on her shoulders, and walked toward the front door. "I'm getting a few groceries Garnet forgot to get on the last order, be back in a few!" Pearl said, as she stepped out the door. Merely seconds later, Garnet opened her door.

"She wasn't in there." Garnet said to Amethyst, who was in tears laughing. "Why are you laughing?" Garnet said, to Amethyst who was laughing to hard to even reply.

"She-just left-for groceries!" Amethyst spat out between giggles. "Groceries?" Garnet asked. "Yeah." Amethyst said, her laughter having died down. "She said you forgot stuff."

Garnet raised an eyebrow behind her glasses. "I never forget stuff on groceries." She said, in a confused tone. "You must have today." Said Amethyst.

Garnet pulled down her glasses, and winked with her third eye.

"Ohhhhhh yeah! Sapphire!" Amethyst said amazed.

"She IS obviously not getting groceries. But, she probably wouldn't want us chasing after her. We can go look for her if she's not back by the time me and Steven get home." Garnet said, as Steven came through the front door.

"Mission time mission time mission time!" He chanted, and grabbed the lunch by the door Pearl had packed for him.
