Your POV
Its 4 a.m.  I've been sleeping for about 14 hours or so. I was still tired though.  I woke up to the sound of someone opening the front door.

"Dumb clod... Stupid useless humans..." she muttered under her breath. Its Peridot.

I heard a loud crash followed by "Damn!"

I slid out of bed.  Not entirely sure as to what to expect from her now as I slowly opened my door and peered down the steps.  She was laying on the floor attempting to pick herself back up. She was missing one of her limb enhancers and her clothes were all raggedy and un-neat. She looked tired and her glasses were crooked.

She looked up at the steps and glared at me. "Waddaya want you clod?" She sounded drunk and spun around a bit in attempts to hold on to the handrail of the steps.

I slowly trudged my way down stairs and yawned. "Peridot its four in the fucking morning.  What are you doing here so late?"

She hiccupped, completely ignoring my question and swung her arm over my shoulder.

"Do you know of the human Sour Cream?  Lives by the dock, and accompanies the other human adolescents." She hiccupped again, slightly giggling.  I however still held my ground and also held Peridot up.

"Yeah? I've heard of him, what about him?" I asked while turning toward the steps and slowly leading Peridot up to her room. She was definitely drunk.

"Well recently I went to one of his so called 'raves'-" She put her fingers in air quotes when she said raves. "-and I must say, it was quite enjoyable. He gave me this odd looking thing in my can of liquid. He calls it "ecstacy". And it was the best thing I've ever had!" She launched her arm all over the place as she explained the mindboggling drug. *don't do drugs kids*

"Peridot, you took drugs?" I asked surprised. We were finally at the top of the steps as she continued to hop up. She nodded and sighed. "I also had the human alcohol substance called 'beer'. It was wonderful (Y/N). You shoulda seen it. But the downside of it is when I was stage diving, one of the petty humans took my limb enhancer." She disappointingly looked at her small leg while waving it to and fro.

"Well, that's too bad Peri." I mumbled as I lightly kicked her bedroom door open, still holding her upright so she doesn't tip over.

I don't know why I was being so nice to this dork. Seeing how much she's ruined my life so far,  I'm surprised I didn't push her down the stairs.

I looked around her room,  it was a dark grey color on the walls and she had a white carpet.  To the left was a desk filled with different hardware things for computers and almost 4 monitors along with various wires and tools on the floor. To the right was a large dresser with a flat screen TV and an Xbox under it. There was a countless amount of games stacked up against the wall and various broken remote controls from her raging out.

Her bed was white and had dark green patterns on them.  She always kept it neat and tidy, and there was also purple teddy bear in the middle. I'm guessing Amy got it for her. Near her closet was a black beanbag chair and Apple laptop next to it along with empty mountain dew bottles and dorito bags and occasional gaming headsets here and there.

I lifted up the covers of her bed and sat her down. Her head rolled from side to side and I grinned at this.

"You see, even when you're drunk you can't even keep that big ass head of yours upright."

She mumbled something inaudible and tried swatting at me, only to be pushed back down into bed.

"You should be happy (Y/N)." She mumbled as her head hit the pillow. I pulled the blankets up for her and furrowed my eyebrows.
