Chapter 21: Beach-A-Pooloza

"Come on, guys! You gotta come!" Steven pleaded, "Y/n's performing, remember?"

"I'd like it if you guys came," Y/n nodded as they leaned against the door to the temple, feeling the morning sun radiate on their back.

"It's tonight, isn't it?" Pearl asked

"Yeah!" Steven jumped and nodded

"If it really means that much to you, we'll make it," Pearl nodded

"Yeah, I think I can squeeze it in my schedule," Amethyst said

"We'll be there," Garnet gave a thumbs up

Suddenly, Y/n's phone began ringing. Y/n pulled it out of their pocket and checked the caller ID to see it was their mother, "I gotta take this," Y/n told as they answered it and went outside, "Hello?"

"Morning, Y/n," Y/n's mother spoke, "How are you?"

"I'm fine, you?" Y/n asked

"Well, I just got your finals grades back," Y/n's mother told

"Mhm?" Y/n nodded as they leaned over the temple balcony

"And they're all A's," Y/n mom told, "Almost all perfect scores! Some even are perfect! You didn't get grades like this back at home,"

"Well, I guess this place changes people," Y/n commented

"Heh, maybe you should stay there till high school ends," Y/n's mom joked

"I wouldn't be opposed to that actually," Y/n admitted

"You're having a good time then?" Y/n's mom asked

"Mhm, I am. Met some good friends here," Y/n told

"Well, I'm glad it isn't miserable over there," Y/n's mom told, "Keep up the good grades,"

"Can do," Y/n nodded as they lifted the phone from their ear, "Bye, ma,"

"Bye, honey," Y/n's mom said as she hung up the call

"Sorry about that," Y/n said as they walked back in, "My mom was checking up on me,"

"Anything exciting?" Steven asked

"Nope, just the usual stay out of trouble speech," Y/n shrugged, "Anyways, what were we discussing?"

"Your performance," Garnet reminded

"Oh right, that," Y/n nodded, "So, you guys are coming, right?"

"Yes, we are," Pearl told, "Do you still need to rehearse?"

"I mean, maybe an hour or two before the performance," Y/n said, "But I'm free for the rest of the day, why?"

"Well, Steven suggested that," Pearl cleared her throat, "Since we are... Good friends, as you put it. That we should all go to Funland,"

"You heard that part?" Y/n chuckled a bit as they jerked their thumb towards the door where they took the phone call

"I always thought we were good friends," Amethyst laughed as she gave Y/n a quick side hug

"And here I was trying to keep it a secret," Y/n said sarcastically, "Nothing gets passed you guys, huh?" Y/n continued

"You know," Pearl began, "They say sarcasm is a sign of intelligence in humans,"

"I must be the smartest human alive then," Y/n laughed, "So, Funland huh? You guys like that place?"

"Yeah I do!" Amethyst pumped
