"So why haven't Percy and Pierre kissed yet?" Lapis asked, her head resting on Peridot's shoulder. "I have no idea! They're perfect for eachother!" Peridot exclaimed, eyes glued to the TV. It had been a week, and the two gems made it through season two and were beginning season three of Camp Pining Hearts.

"Don't you hate when two people are perfect for eachother yet they don't get together?" Lapis asked. "Well... not up until now but sure." Peridot replied. Lapis chuckled, "I do."

"Noted." Peridot smiled, wrapping an arm around Lapis' waist. "We're getting closer to season five." The blue gem reminded Peridot. "Ugh, don't remind me." The green gem groaned.

Lapis giggled and cuddled close to Peridot. "We haven't danced in a while." She said softly. "You mean I haven't danced in a while. You dance all the time." Peridot corrected Lapis.

"You know what I mean." The ocean gem chuckled, poking Peridot. Peridot's mouth formed a small grin. "Let's dance Peri." Lapis said.

"Aw Lazuli c'mon, just a few more episodes!" Peridot whined. "This is all we've done for the past week!" Lapis exclaimed, trying to not laugh. "Fine, after this episode ends we can dance." Peridot gave in.

"Okay." Lapis smiled, now focusing on the TV. The blue gem waited for the episode to end impatiently. She missed the feeling of how it felt to dance with Peridot.

Finally the episode ended, and Lapis turned the TV off. "Time to dance!" She exclaimed, jumping to her feet. "Yes, time to dance." Peridot smiled.

Lapis rushed down the ladder and over to the CD player. Peridot followed her, smiling. "Hmm.. any song requests?" Lapis asked, looking over at Peridot.

"Nah." The green gem said, winking. Lapis giggled, "Okay." The blue gem hurried over to Peridot.

No instruments started this song off, instead it began with actual singing.

'You're no good for me
Baby you're no good for me
You're no good for me
But baby I want you, I want'

Peridot blushed as Lapis wrapped her arms around Peridot's waist. The smaller gem slowly wrapped her arms around Lapis' neck.

'Diet mountain dew, baby, New York City
Never was there ever a girl so pretty
Do you think we'll be in love forever?
Do you think we'll be in love?'

Lapis smiled down at Peridot.

'Diet mountain dew, baby, New York City
Can we hit it now low down and gritty
Do you think we'll be in love forever?
Do you think we'll be in love?'

Peridot smiled back up at Lapis.

'Baby put on heart shaped sunglasses
Cause we gonna take a ride
I'm not gonna listen to what the past says
I've been waiting up all night'

Lapis giggled, Peridot's smile was a little goofy looking.

'Take another drag turn me to ashes
Ready for another lie?
Says he's gonna teach me just what fast is
Say it's gonna be alright'

Peridot chuckled and pulled Lapis closer to her.

'Diet mountain dew, baby, New York City
Never was there ever a girl so pretty
Do you think we'll be in love forever?
Do you think we'll be in love?'

"Do you think we'll be in love forever?" Lapis whispered, smirking.

'Diet mountain dew, baby, New York City
Can we hit it now low down and gritty
Do you think we'll be in love forever?
Do you think we'll be in love?'

Peridot nervously smiled.

'Let's take Jesus off the dashboard
Got enough on his mind
We both know just what we're here for
Saved too many times'

"Who's Jesus?" Peridot whispered, Lapis shrugged.

'Maybe I like this roller coaster
Maybe it keeps me high
Maybe the speed it brings me closer
I could sparkle up your eye'

Lapis' hands slid down Peridot's waist a little bit.

'Diet mountain dew, baby, New York City
Never was there ever a girl so pretty
Do you think we'll be in love forever?
Do you think we'll be in love?'

Peridot blushed, struggling to find words.

'Diet mountain dew, baby, New York City
Can we hit it now low down and gritty
Do you think we'll be in love forever?
Do you think we'll be in love?'

Lapis' hands were straying too far.

'You're no good for me
Baby you're no good for me
You're no good for me
But baby I want you, I want you'

"Lazuli." Peridot whispered.

'You're no good for me
Baby you're no good for me
You're no good for me
But baby I want you, I want you, I want you'

Lapis blushed, "Sorry."

'Diet mountain dew, baby, New York City
Never was there ever a girl so pretty
Do you think we'll be in love forever?
Do you think we'll be in love?'

Peridot cleared her throat, it was a gesture for Lapis to remove her hands from Peridot's rear.

'Baby stoppin' at seven eleven
There in his white Pontiac heaven
Do you think we'll be in love forever?
Do you think we'll be in love?'

"Oh uh yeah.. heheh." Lapis chuckled quietly, her hands sliding back up to Peridot's waist.

'Diet mountain dew, baby, New York City
Never was there ever a girl so pretty
Do you think we'll be in love forever?
Do you think we'll be in love?

Diet mountain dew, baby, New York City
Can we hit it now low down and gritty
Do you think we'll be in love forever?
Do you think we'll be in love?'

"Thank you." Peridot whispered after a few seconds.

'You're no good for me
Baby you're no good for me
You're no good for me
But baby I want you, I want'

Lapis smiled and pulled Peridot close.

'You're no good for me
Baby you're no good for me
You're no good for me
But baby I want you, I want'

Peridot closed her eyes.

'You're no good for me
Baby you're no good for me
You're no good for me
But baby I want you, I want'

The song ended.

"Yes." Peridot finally said, looking up at Lapis, who was waiting for Peridot to answer her question from earlier.

Lapis smiled, not letting Peridot go.

"Good."
