Steven's P.O.V:

I lie down on my bed. I hear a door creak, quiet and soft.

"Pearl?" I turn to Pearl and I look at her.

"Hello, Steven. Peridot doesn't have a problem; she's only tired." Pearl says. Seems true, she was tired last night.

"Okay. Thanks." I thank her.

I sit up and I walk down, peeking at Peridot, who seems to be talking to herself.

"I see you're worried about Peridot." Pearl says.

"Yeah. I think she misses homeworld." I shrug. Not quite sure if she does, I mean, she was created on homeworld.

"Probably not. She likes it in here. I'll go to my room and medidate for a while, our previous mission was a riot." Pearl says and she opens a door for her room. She then enters her room.

I slowly open the door. I hear voices of singing.

"If I could begin to be half of what you think of me."

I knew it! Peridot was the one who was singing!

"I could do about anything, I could even learn how to-"

She turns around and I hurriedly scatter and hide. Peridot goes in with furrowed eyebrows.

"I know you're here, Steven." She sighs. She looks so calm.

Gotta give up. "I'm here." I surrender and I raise both of my arms up.

"Y-Your voice is so beautful! How'd you learn to sing like that! You were amazing!" I exclaim, truly amazing. Well, she's Peridot! She's amazing!

She blushes. "M-Me?"

"Yeah, you!" I say.

"H-How much did you hear?" She asks, she looks like she doesn't want anyone to hear it.

"Not much." I shrug. "I'm gonna go to the bathroom."

She gives me a suspicious look as I go in. I go in and I lock the bathroom.

I blush. She was so adorable when she asked me how much I've heard.

I see a voice recorder. I grab it. "Peridot's voice recorder." I mumble.

Peridot told me not to touch her recorder but, I'm dying to know about her song.

I press the button.

"Log Date 7599"

"Steven has shown me two songs he wrote, now it's time to create mine."

I listen in excitement.

Peridot clears her throat.

"If I could begin to be, half of what you think of me."
"I could do about anything, I could even learn how to love."

Love!

"It's a work in progress."

"Peridot."

She wants to learn about love?

Knock, knock, knock.

Oh no!

I hid the voice recorder behind the bathtub, like where it belongs.

"Wait! I'm not done peeing!" I lie, I don't want to upset her!

"What is it with humans expelling waste?" I hear her mumble.

I think I should open the door now. I unlock it.

She falls down on her back and I catch her.

"I told you not to lean on the door!" I laugh.

"Okay, okay. What took you so long to pee!?" She asks, she throws me a suspicious look.

"Uh, well I..." I gulp.

"Well!?" She growls impatiently. She looks at the voice recorder.

She checks and pulls it to her. "You listened to this, didn't you!?"

"Uh... Yeah.." I sigh.

She cringes in fear and she shivers.

"I'm so sorry! I just wanted to know what the song is about." I apologize.

"And!?" She growls. "What are your assumptions!?"

"I don't have one?" I reply. Now I feel guilty.

"I told you not to listen!" She growls as she hides her recorder behind her back.

"I'm sorry! I won't do it again!" I exclaim.

"Now get out!" Peridot pushes me away and banged the door.

I blew it! Now, Peridot hates me. I sigh as I sit down on the couch.

"I'm a stupid fool." I grumble curses against myself.
