"Whoa... It's like we're in a TV show or something!" One of the small kids on the TV cheered as his partner brought in a large sack of money.

"See, this is why I love Crime Boys," Amethyst laughed, "They're not scared to break the fourth wall,"

"That wasn't breaking the fourth wall," Y/n told, "That was a self-reference, breaking the fourth wall means they recognize there's an audience or that they're in a TV show. Self-reference is when the sentence or art or whatever refers to itself, but doesn't recognize the audience"

"Whatever, tomato, potato," Amethyst waved off

"Sure," Y/n laughed as they continued watching the TV

"Hey... You know what would be fun?" Amethyst asked

"Enlighten me," Y/n said

"A hand stand contest," Amethyst told, "Whoever loses has to do whatever the winner wants for a week!"

"No," Y/n said simply

"Come on, it'll be fun!" Amethyst pleaded

"Amethyst, you're obviously going to win," Y/n told, "You're not gonna have blood rushing to your head the entire time,"

"You never know until you try," Amethyst insisted

"We're not doing a hand stand competition," Y/n said firmly

"So, you admit I'd win?" Amethyst laughed

"Mhm," Y/n nodded, "You'd win,"

"Come on, where's your confidence?" Amethyst shoved Y/n lightly

"Non-existent in this situation," Y/n said

"It's not like something bad is gonna happen if you try," Amethyst told

"You said whoever won had to be the other's servant for a week," Y/n reminded

"Yeah, so?" Amethyst laughed

"Usually losing your personal freedom is a bad thing," Y/n told, "But hey, that's just me,"

"Fine, fine we don't have to do that part," Amethyst waved off, "But come on, let's do it!"

"Why are you said adamant about this?" Y/n asked

"'Cause I wanna do it!" Amethyst told

"But why?" Y/n laughed

"'Cause I wanna!" Amethyst repeated, "It's something out of the ordinary, I guess,"

"You're like a toddler," Y/n groaned

"Why? 'Cause I like having fun?" Amethyst teased

"Because you're small and stubborn," Y/n laughed as they flicked Amethyst's nose

"Hey!" Amethyst chuckled as she grabbed Y/n's hand and shoulder, and then pushed them down onto the bed. Amethyst climbed on top of Y/n and hovered over their face, barley two inches away, "Come on, do it! For me?" Amethyst asked

"Fine," Y/n groaned

"Yes!" Amethyst cheered as she got off the bed and waited for Y/n to stand, "Ready?"

"One... Two.... Three," Y/n sighed as they put their hands to the ground and pushed themselves up right, as did Amethyst

"How you doing?" Amethyst asked

"Hunky-Dory," Y/n groaned as their arms shook

"You play guitar right?" Amethyst asked

"Mhm," Y/n murmured, their face going red
