Final prompt, another week has come and gone and hopefully you all enjoyed the stories that came with it!

Peridot sat next to Jasper as Steven pointed out constellations to Lapis.

"You miss it too huh?" Peridot asked the giant gem. Jasper grunted in agreement. "I wonder, will we win this fight? Will we ever be able to return to homeworld?" Peridot mumbled softly. Jasper gently sat down and patted the little gem's back with a sigh.

"I'm not sure but, in the meantime." Jasper smiled and lifted the tiny gem into her shoulders giving her a boost to see more stars. "Let's just enjoy what we have in the now." Peridot smiled and hugged Jasper's head before returning to look at the sky. After a while the gang saw it best to head back in the RV for the trip back home so Steven could sleep. Peridot ordered Jasper to head back to the RV while still on her shoulders causing the giant gem to 'mistakenly' almost hit Peridot with every low tree branch she came across, Peridot playfully pouted and Lapis merely rolled her eyes with a smirk at seeing Jasper chuckle with joy for once. Upon returning to the RV Steven laid down to sleep as Garnet and Pearl drove back home, Lapis, Peridot, and Jasper sat at the table talking whilst Peridot also popped in a different RPG to occupy herself with if the conversation took a different turn or bored her.

"What would you do Lapis, if we defeated homeworld and could return to it?" Jasper asked filled with wonder. Lapis merely shrugged but sent a smile to the little gem beside her. "Me either." Jasper commented with a smirk.

"Jasper." the orange gem looked back to the blue gem. "If we had to fight homeworld tomorrow, do you think we could defeat the diamonds?" Lapis questioned looking worried. Jasper couldn't respond without killing the vibe so instead she decided to draw attention to Peridot's game.

"What the hell are those things?" Peridot cleared her throat before responding:

"Dragons, apparently they used to be a thriving force on this planet and many more but the humans found a way to wipe them all out." Jasper looked in awe as Peridot's little character cast a spell and sent one of the flying beasts to the ground where she had begun striking at it causing major damage.

"Maybe we should find a planet with still living dragons then against homeworld." Jasper commented. Peridot paused the game to do her own version of Lapis' snort laugh causing the blue gem to join in as well. Jasper smiled at the two, she was happy for them and sat back to trade ideas with Peridot and Lapis for the remainder of the trip.

"Maybe we could get zombies too!" "Or vampires!" "Even Manticores!" "What the heck is a manticore?" "Let me show you!"

Once the gang had disbanded back at the beach house, Lapis picked up Peridot and flew them both back to the barn at full speed. Laughing the two landed on the second floor directly into bed and still laughing as they landed.

"I'm actually glad we got stranded you know?" Lapis spoke up. Peridot's smile fell into a tiny smirk a bit confused by that statement. "Without that, we would've gotten to spend this much time together." Peridot nuzzled her face into the crook of Lapis' neck and humming against her. "I love you Peridot." The green gem looked up and stared into her girlfriend's longing eyes. "I mean it. We might not have started off on the best of terms and I did a lot of mean things before we became friends but.." Lapis kissed Peridot's gem and sighed. "I'm just glad I have you..." Peridot a tear slip from her eye before she pulled Lapis into a deep kiss and holding their hands together.

"I love you too Lapis..." The couple smiled and snuggled together looking out at the hole in the barn made by the truck. They could still see the stars shinning the path to homeworld and didn't mind it. "Even if homeworld came tomorrow I could fight. Because of you." Lapis purred and snuggled closer to Peridot. They would fight for each other nothing could tear them apart.

Except for the cold, which they obeyed by slipping under the blanket and nuzzling closer then before falling into another fit of slumber and loving embrace. These two gems could and would do anything for each other and they knew that. They would continue living on finding more reasons to be happy and smile. More reasons to go on adventures and experience more to life with their friends and family.

And so they did...

THE END
