"Like all the bad things in my life, it started with the death of a woman. I couldn't save her." -Max Payne

Trying to write chapters for three different stories is never a good idea... unless your me then you've got three Lapidot fanfics in your head begging to be typed out asap! Hopefully you guys enjoy the end to this odd story!

Jasper POV:
What a plan, prop up the controls then barrel roll out of the plane to a hopeful safe landing. In stead I damn near break my neck and bruise my legs with my landing. Thankfully the explosion from the plane shot me a few yards further then where I would've landed. Great job Jasper, say goodbye to your best friend only to spend the next few seconds tumbling down the mountain after her. Finally the spinning stops and I slowly but surly begin to catch my breath and lift myself into a sitting position before even thinking of trying to stand up. Looking around I saw two figures heading out of some trees and heading downwards, maybe it was Lapis and Jenna? Lifting myself up I took a good two minutes before starting to move my legs.

This fucking sucked. I get that my body was in pain and that i'm a rather large woman but I am still freezing dammit! Rubbing my arms vigorously I got colder at the sight of a pack of wolves, seeing the two figures in the distance again I figured it would be the best choice to run for the in between path of the two colliding forces. Getting into another patch of trees I caught up to the wolves stabbing one of them in the neck quickly pulling my blade free. Three remained, baring they're fangs two lunged for me with only one sinking it's teeth into my flesh. Saying I roared in pain was an understatement, before it got lose I squeezed it's neck as hard as I could until it yelped allowing me to know I could pull him off and finish him as well. The last two didn't even wait for me to stand, they dashed all around me taking quick bites and scratching at me causing me to try to build some form of defense. After a while I lunged for the closest one and snapped his neck, the remaining one tried to go for my throat only to swallow a blade. Excess blood, bruising and pain, and now a missing knife... great. Taking my leave of the trees I found a shot gun in the snow.

Jackpot Jasper!

Opening the chamber I spy only two shells, which unfortunately were going to be used immediately due to this black bear towering over me. After blowing the bear's brains out I finally decided to slide down the hill to catch up to the two figures, one fell over so the crunching of snow beneath my feet quickened. The first one turned to look at me and scream making me cover my ears.

"Fuck Jenna it's just me!" I yelled right back at her. She began to tremble and merely fainted as she smiled, I picked her up and my pace quickened as I took notice of my friend laying motionless in the snow. Thankfully a cabin wasn't too far in the distance and even with these bleeding wounds I could probably make it before bleeding out. With another quick flick of my arms I now had both women over each shoulder.

Lapis POV:
I was slowly dying without knowing where Peridot was, it was eating at me quicker than a rabbit next to a patch of vegetables. My hands were shaking as my leg bounced, the man's wife was trying her hardest to get me to relax and drink tea with her but all I could do was apologize.

"What's she like?" I looked at her confused at first but realized she knew why I was acting this way. "Gotta be some special to have you this antsy." Taking a long strangled breath I calmed myself down and return the look of concern to her:

"She's the most important person in my life right now. We've spent the last year together going out and having silly fun times together and I really love her." letting a few tears spill the wife rushed over to me and patted my eyes dry. "I can't bare the thought of losing her to this incident, what am I going to do without her? We just moved in together and I just got her cat to love me! I can't go on without her!" she placed her hand gently on my shoulder stifling my sobs for a moment.

"She'll come around." I caught my breath before nodding to her with a broken smile. The husband busted through the door:

"Found your friends!" I jumped up and went around the couch to see Jasper coated in blood before gently laying Peridot and Jenna onto the rug next to the fire place. "I'm not too sure if the little one is going to make it.." pushing past them I grabbed Peridot to see her ice cold and near having no pulse. "Take her upstairs to the right, get her warm as fast as you can otherwise she's a goner ma'am" I lifted her up and made a mad dash for the stairs, Jasper had dropped to her knees with a shaky laugh before falling unconscious and bleeding all over the rugs.

Carefully removing Peridot's cold clothes from her body I removed mine as well and embraced her in a pile of 6 or 7 warm fur blankets. "I got you baby, i'm here." I was reassuring someone who for all I knew was never going to wake up. Stop that, positive thoughts only. Oh my poor Peri, please wake up.

"Please wake up... Please..."

Peridot POV Dream:
I think i'm dead. Looking around I was in a green dress walking up to a blanket on top of a hill with a picnic basket, all of my friends were there including Jenna and Blue Diamond. Taking a seat next to Jasper I took a breath:

"Are we dead?"

"Doubt it."

"But how are we here from the snowy mountains?" She snorted and laughed before taking a bite out of an apple. "I watched you die Jasper, how can you tell me that we're not dead?" She merely shrugged before continuing to eat her apple. "I don't want us to die Jasp, I wanna keep living and busting criminals and going home to Lapis every night." The sky shifted a bit and Amethyst was now next to me continuing to eat the apple that Jasper had previously been eating.

"So Pear, when are you going to come back and snuggle with me again?" I couldn't help but giggle at that.

"Lapis would kill us if we even thought of doing that Amy."

"Can't blame a girl for trying right?" I nudged her shoulder and we both shared a laugh before the sky changed again growing a little darker as the sun headed downwards. Amethyst had turned into Jenna who as well took a bite out of the apple and smiled.

"You remind me a lot of Samantha you know that?"

"What? How?"

"How you and Lapis are so over protective of each other. It's like you want to give each other some form of space and let each other be free but when someone else starts taking looks your ready to swoop in and kill."

"Your imagining things."

"Sure." With that the sky turned night coated in stars and a full moon unto which Jenna became Lapis who tossed the fully eaten apple back into the basket before standing up and intertwining our fingers as we took a stroll over the pond.

"I never thought I would see you again." I commented forgetting that I had begun to shed tears. She smiled and squeezed my hand tightly;

"I'l never leave you Peri." I kissed her cheek and held her hands in mine before leaning against her chest.

"I know you won't but... I think i'm dead."

"Just wake up."

"How can a dead person wake up?" I questioned giving her a smile with tears before turning it into a serious face in response to her fully sobbing look.

"Please Peri, wake up. I got you baby."

"Lapis?" I was starting to freak out for a bit which was weird considering I was dead. Wait, how can I feel if i'm dead?

"Peridot, please wake up."

Lapis POV:
It was morning, no one came in to disturb us and awakening to the sun spilling through the blinds I looked upon Peridot to see her breathing returning to normal. My heart began to race as I saw her eyes begin to flutter. Then came the voice:

"...Lapis?..." I began to cry again as I pulled her closer to me. Her body began to shake as she repeated my name over and over again having tears spill from her cheek as well. "I heard you calling me, demanding me to wake up... and here you are."

"Here I am baby." I pulled her into a deep loving kiss before pulling the blankets around us tighter. An hour of cuddling later we finally decided to get dressed and head downstairs to find Jenna speaking to the husband and wife.

"Hey there love birds, finally done with healing?" Peridot rolled her eyes before trying to move alone and sit down in a nearby chair. "I just finished telling Jack and Martha here about the plane crash and how Jasper found us-"

"Jasper?" Peridot nearly shouted before getting up and falling over. "Where is she?!" Jenna sighed and lifted Peridot up before taking her to the bed room in the back.

Peridot POV:
Wrapped in bandages and having trouble breathing it was like tearing my heart in half again. Taking a seat next to the bed she slowly opened her eyes and smiled at me.

"Hey partner. Sorry about earlier." I took her hand in mine as we smiled together with a tear shed each. "Can you forgive me? I lost a lot of blood getting you and Jenna back here so i'm pretty short on time."

"Did you have any regrets?" She smiled brighter and shook her head.

"If I had to think of one, it would be not meeting you when we were younger." I broke into sobs and held her tightly against me. "I love you... partner..."

"I love you too Jasper!" I poured out my grief and pain unto her chest trying to hold onto the last of her life until finally her limbs went limp and her chest stopped rising. This was the second time I had to watch my best friend die...

Jenna POV:
The trip home was a terrible one, Lapis and Peridot cuddled together the entire time trying to keep Peridot's broken emotions in check. We decided to have Jasper's body sent back home to LA where we could give her a proper burial, also someone had to tell the others. I think Amethyst and Rose took it the hardest, with Rose having to hold Amethyst back along with the help of Pearl and Garnet as the younger Haar sister attempted to rip my head off of my 'Piece of shit' body. To this day I still don't blame her, it was all my fault and I don't think i'll ever be able to live it down. A month later we were at the funeral home ready to say our pieces and tell good stories of the woman we all knew. Deciding it would be best, we left Peridot for last as Lapis hit the crowd with some funny memories and jokes. Finally I had finished mentally preparing the blonde for this moment and with one final hug from me and her girlfriend she took the stage.

"Jasper's favorite line was, 'I was never good at making friends.' But by the looks of it, that was a lie. We've all gathered here to show how much she had an impact upon our lives. From the moment I laid my eyes on her I found her to be an impulsive abrasive and all around big headed oaf. But boy was I wrong, instead I was partnered with an experienced, intelligent, masterful, all around beacon of hope. If I could have her here today I would." She choked back a sob and composed herself once more. "She loved that terrible black suit, she looked like a walking tar stain." The guests let out a hearty laugh unanimously agreeing with the blonde. "She could make it look glorious though, she was the light of the station and no one will ever be able to replace her. Jasper Haar wasn't only my partner, she was my best friend. I will never forget anything this woman has taught me, learned from me, or given me ever. I loved her like the sister I never had. So long Jasper Haar, missed but never forgotten..." The crowd roared with applause and cheered as Peridot shed the tears she was holding back and smiled brightly. It may have been a time for hurting but deep down she knew it was a time for honoring the dead more.

2 Years Later, Narrator POV:
It was a sunny afternoon and the couple who lived in a home with their pet cat Pumpkin had gone for a walk. They stopped for some ice cream and some flowers to which they made a journey to the graveyard to see their old friend once more. Placing the flowers upon the tombstone they stood still for a good long while holding hands before bowing and taking their leave. Waving hello to neighbors and a redhead who drove past whistling, the couple decided to head back home and cuddle on the couch watching some television show the blonde preferred as the other decided to cook something for the two to eat.

It may not have been the happiest life but they loved it none the less.

The End

Let me know what you think, if anything I may end up rewriting it but I like it this way. Thank you for sticking around for this long and I hope you continue to read my work!
