Taking a long look at the truck above the barn's doors Lapis couldn't shake off the feeling that her and Peridot could make a meep morp out of it, possibly a slide aimed towards the pool? Maybe a ladder up to it allowing Steven or Connie to join them in marathoning Camp Pining Hearts? Tapping her foot she closed her eyes and kept pondering until the shorter gem walked over and rubbed her back gently.
"What's the matter Lapis?" the blue gem smiled and hugged the shorter gem tightly.
"Just thinking about a new meep morp we could make involving the truck." Peridot's eye glowed with excitement as she heard the idea! Getting out of Lapis' grasp the smaller gem ran inside the barn and came back out with some metal and pipes.
"We can make the slide and the ladder if you would like!" Peridot exclaimed hopping in place enjoying Lapis' smiling face. Peridot used her powers to hold the two tallest pipes up in place as Lapis took her time inserting the smaller ones in the holes to create the steps to climb up. The two shared a laugh together as they immediately began to ponder how they were going to create the slide.
"Peri, how are we going to keep it from falling apart?" Peridot joined Lapis on the floating chair in the pool, as the blue gem ran her fingers through the other's hair the two spent a good while throwing ideas around to each other slowly getting better and better. "I could hold up the pieces with the water while you wield them together to the bumper of the truck?"
"That's the perfect idea Lapis!" Peridot hugged Lapis tightly extracting a giggle out of her before the two returned to work! Using a water hand, Lapis held the piece of metal firmly against the bumper of the truck as Peridot began to meld them together slowly. After a good long time the sun had began to set in the distance as Peridot finished the last piece. They included a loop before having it shoot the rider into the air to fall right into the pool!
"You did good Peri."
"WE, did good Lapis." Peridot corrected holding the blue gem's hand in her own. "I wanna give it a test ride, would you mind?" Lapis nodded and sent a stead stream of water trailing down the slide and into the pool giving Peridot pride in her craftsmanship. The little green gem headed up the ladder and hopped onto the slide riding it all the way only feeling frightened when she had too much momentum and the slide shot her almost a mile into the air! Lapis heard her scream and instantly popped her wings out flying towards her friend and catching her before she could hit the earth.
"You alright there Dot?" Peridot nodded not letting her grip loosen until they neared the pool chair. Finally seating themselves cuddled together on the inflatable chair Peridot leaned against the blue gem and steadied her nerves before thanking her. Lapis hummed and kissed Peridot's gem. "We can fix it later this week, i'm just proud Pumpkin now has a new toy to play with. Peridot laughed at the thought of their pet flying and landing on the inflatable doughnut.
"Alright, let's call it a night and head in!" Lapis flew the two inside the barn where they could rest for the rest of the evening.
