Peridot is seen talking into her tape recorder into the barn, while Lapis, Y/n and Steven watch on next to her.

Peridot: And then I'll say, "Hey, as one refugee to another, it isn't so bad that we can't go back to , am I right? Why don't we watch the sun come up and figure out what we're going to do with all this time, eh ?" And then she'll say, "Yes Peridot, as impressed I was by you on the ship, I am even more impressed with your new compact look and capacity for friendship! I'm so glad we're going to live together!" Peridot, Facet 5.

Peridot stops recording and casually turns to Lapis

Peridot: Let's begin.

Lapis: ... This isn't gonna work.

Peridot: Wait, what?

Lapis: I really thought I would be living alone here... with y/n being around the woods since he's a animal I guess?

Y/n: touché 

Steven: Yeah, but this is even better! Oh here, how about this? I saw this on an episode of a TV show! I didn't see how it ended, but I'm sure it worked out right. We'll divide this place in half.

Y/n: guess I sleep outside, thank you steven very cool

Steven oblivious 

Steven: your welcome

Steven takes out a marker and starts drawing a straight line on the floor.

Steven: You'll both have your own space. High ceilings, real wood floors, convenient location on the heart of the country; so what do you think, roomies?

Peridot and Lapis stand opposite of one another on both sides of the line.

Peridot: I like the cut of your gem, Steven Quartz!

Lapis: No! No way!

Peridot: What's the problem? You're the one getting all the good stuff! You've got the propeller and paint cans on your side! You can do tons with those! Oooh, actually, I want the paint cans. You wanna trade something?

Lapis glares at Peridot dismissively 

Lapis: I don't care about paint cans. That's not the problem.

Peridot: Bah...


Y/n: well if you don't have a problem with it 

You stretch out your arms and pick up all the paint cans and put them on peridots side

lapis is disturbed by this action before shaking it off

Steven: what's wrong lapis?

lapis: It's them

Peridot: Egh?! 

Peridot flinches in confusion

y/n: so much for being a guide I guess

lapis: more so her than you y/n 

You squint your eyes skeptical 

Y/n: sure

Lapis: She's the problem. I can't stand the thought of looking at her everyday. She's the one who dragged me back to Earth!

Peridot: Hey, it wasn't my idea! I was headed to Earth and I needed an informant! It should have been a simple mission. Things didn't exactly work out for either of us.

Lapis gets angry

Lapis: You used me like everyone else did!

Peridot: But it's not like that anymore! It's different now; I'm different!
