Universe: Steven Universe Canon

Time: A little after Lapis and Peridot are being forced to live together in the barn

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Silent and peaceful. Just how Lapis liked it. Well, until Peridot ran into the barn, falling face first. The box Peridot was carrying flew through the air, but before it hit the ground, Lapis held out her hand and snatched the box. Sighing in relief, Peridot jumped up and snatched the box from Lapis's hand.
     "E-eh," Peridot cleared her "throat", "hello Lazuli!"
     "What is that for?" Lapis asked, with a dead expression.
     "Well, this is a box Steven gave to me! It is full of appearance modifiers!" Peridot explained, opening the box to show a collection of clothing.
"Why do humans like this stuff? It seems useless to me," Lapis asked as she nonchalantly picked up a leather piece of clothing. Peridot scoffed, offended.
     "I'll have you know, these appearance modifiers Steven informed me was called "clothing" is not that bad!" Peridot answered, glancing over to a corner of the barn where there was a pile of shreds.

     After almost an hour of Peridot going over every piece of clothing, and putting it on, Lapis did not seem even slightly interested. In fact, every time Peridot was explaining something, Lapis seemed to be distracted by something else. Even if she did say something, it was to say Peridot looked strange in the appearance modifiers.
     "Uh, well uh, that's it, I'll just stop bothering you," Peridot mumbled, setting the box and clothing down. "I'll go work on something else."
     "Mm," Lapis replied as Peridot turned away.

     "Lazuli!" Peridot yelled, walking across the field close to the barn. Usually, when Lapis had left on a flight or went with Steven, she wrote down a note in the ancient language (thank the stars Peridot had researched that before crashing on earth). This time though, there was nothing. No clues, no note, nothing. Peridot had no clue were Lapis was, and didn't know if she left, since she was absorbed in trying to get this "wifi" to work. Finally, Peridot decided to check on the barn, already checking the water silo and the barn roof. Walking in, Peridot walked into Lapis.

Lapis was wearing a large leather jacket, looking in the mirror as she put on a fake flower crown. She turned around, staring at Peridot with wide eyes, the flower crown becoming crooked. Mentally slapping herself, Peridot walked up to Lapis.
     "If you were interested in this then.. why didn't you express it?" Peridot asked, curious.
     "Well," Lapis sighed, looking down at Peridot, trying to explain, "it's just how I learn. Here, stop making that confused face." Lapis sat down on the couch, adjusting her flower crown, patting the spot to next her.

     "Oh! That makes so much sense now!" Peridot bursted, her face lighting up. She moved so she was no longer touching Lapis's shoulder. "Well-" Peridot was interrupted by Lapis placing a small gray beanie on her head.
"You look like a hipster," Lapis said after Peridot stopped thrashing violently and surrendered.
"What's a hipster."
