Steven Universe: Perfect Mistake (Lapis x Peridot)

Chapter 3

NOTES: This will contain mild sexual themes but nothing explicit. Sorry.

It was sooner rather than later but Peridot's memory was slowly coming back.

Peridot was in the barn and was rustling through a white plastic bag. The sound of cans was heard as they clinked while rummaging through it. She pulled out a can and looked at it.

PERIDOT: This...is supposed to make me stronger. (Shrugs) Okay...

She investigated the can as she wasn't sure how to open it, she turned it over and it did nothing, she twisted it and still it didn't do anything...she shook it and again, it did nothing. The only clue was a little pin on the top. She managed to lift the pin, which happened to open the can but while doing this the liquid burst out, foaming at first and then splashing all over Peridot and it wouldn't stop, she dropped the can and was completely drenched. She whimpered as the stink from the Guinness was aroaming around her. She wiped herself and cursed under her breath.

PERIDOT: Note, don't shake the cans.

At this point, Lapis walked in the barn...and saw Peridot, she huffed as she didn't really want to see Peridot but as they were sharing the barn, she knew she couldn't avoid the little green gem but then noticed Peridot was having problems with a simple little item...this brought a small smile to Lapis, laughing to herself at how Peridot couldn't handle a simple little thing. Peridot hadn't notice Lapis at this point, as she was still trying to dry herself off. Lapis then slowly walked over to Peridot, who turned around and gasped a little, maybe a little frightened that lapis was still not talking to her. Lapis just stared at Peridot.

LAPIS: Having trouble?

Lapis went in the bag and pulled out a can, and simple opened it normally...and gave it to Peridot. Peridot just gawked at how Lapis was still dry and accepted the offer.

LAPIS: they're not hard to open.

PERIDOT: Huh, I just wasn't ready for its defensive mechanisms...

LAPIS: It's just a human drink. It's not a weapon or anything. (Looks at the can) What are you drinking?

PERIDOT: Guinness. Apparently this potion contains iron and can make you stronger.

LAPIS: (Sighs and gives Peridot the can) It's not a potion either.

PERIDOT: What are you doing here? I thought you wasn't talking to me.

LAPIS: Well...Steven spoke to me and told me the things you've done while on this planet and...(Sighs)...I'm sorry, if I've been mean to you.

PERIDOT: Steven said that...?

LAPIS: He's told me you've changed. (Folds her arms) I'll see it when I believe it.

PERIDOT: Well...I'm sorry for what I did to you...

There was an awkward silence, until Peridot broke the silence. She figured this was the only time to try and get on Lapis's good side.

PERIDOT: Care to...uh...j-join me...

LAPIS: (Half smile) Sure.

Lapis sits next to Peridot and the green gem gives her a can. Peridot takes a swig and at first the taste was awful but didn't want to embarrass herself in front of Lapis and swallowed the drink, even if it did give off a nasty metallic taste.
