Opal's POV
Soon after I try to get Orange, we leave and I direct Blue Pearl (Aka Blue) and Verdelite towards the building I had exited when we fought Jasper. We soon arrive and we land safely on the floor of the corridor. "We need to look out for Jasper. He might attack again." I say cautiously.

As we are walking toward the assigned meeting room I gave us, I start to make conversation with Blue. "So where are you from? Like what planet?" I ask him. He looks at me with a smile, "I'm from Homeworld. I am specifically made for combat and to assist Diamonds." I nod my head. "And what's your relationship like with Verdelite?" I ask, genuinely interested. He looks behind us to see Verdelite walking by himself with his head hung low. "Hey Verdelite, you okay?" Pearl asked with a concerned look on his face. Verdelite looked up and said, rather sadly, "Yeah. Just thinking." He drops his head again. I just shrug it off and keep talking to Pearl.

When we finally get to the meeting room, everyone sits down in certain seats. Verdelite still looked sad. I was starting to wonder why.

Verdelite's POV
As we were sitting in the meeting room, I only had one thought on my mind. Why was Blue hanging out with that Opal so much? They just met. It's not like they were long time buddies or something. I don't know why I was acting like this, I guess just because I had always been the center of attention when I was with him. I guess I was just...jealous.

Not even caring about the "plan" they were formulating, I think of my own plan. I plan to get Blue back. I had a few ideas, but none of them sounded good. Then it hit me. 'He wrapped his arms around that Snow guy. Maybe i can steal Snow from him. Then we'll be even.' I think while smirking. This plan was going to happen and it was going to be soon. Maybe...on the next mission? Yeah. That would work.

Snow's POV
Something felt weird in that room. I think me and my brother could feel it. It was like it was tense in there. Like awkwardness or something. I just don't know why. Nothing had really happened that would make it that way. I look over to see Verdelite smirking to what seemed to be himself. He was up to something. I could just feel it. I signal to my brother to follow me in the hall.

When we get to the hallway, we sneak into a little room a few doors over. He just looks at me. "Why am I in here?" he asks. I look at him, a slightly angry mixed with a scared expression painted on my face. "That Verdelite is up to something. He had a smirk on his face. I just don't know what it is. The fact that he just doesn't talk to anyone, I just don't know." I say while awaiting his response. "Maybe he isn't talking to anyone because Opal has been talking to Blue all the time. Why do you care though." he says. I look at him like he should know. Then I realize something. Even I didn't know why cared.

"I...I don't know." I stumble on my words. The truth was hidden away in my mind. As I shuffled around in my thoughts, the real reason came to me. 'I have always had his attention. Maybe I...just maybe I liked him.' Just as this thought entered my head, my cheeks heat up and I smiled faintly. 'I do. I can actually experience love! This is insane' I'm screaming in my mind. "Hey Snow? You okay?" He says. "Yeah. Let's go back to the room. We'll think of something." I say as we walk away.

Opal's POV
As I am discussing plans with Blue, Snow and Obsidian walk back in. "Hey guys." I say to them. Obsidian waves while Snow just smiles at me. It was a nice smile, so he probably wasn't mad at me. He looks away and keeps walking with the smile still on his face. I just smile back.

Once we finally formulate a good plan, we all walk outside. As we are walking down the hall, we all hear a scream and I turn around faster than ever. I see Obsidian get a sword through his stomach. His body turns into a white cloud, then his gem is laying in the hands of Jasper. He squeezes it and I hear a crack form. Without even thinking, I fly towards him and kick him right in the face. I stab his gem and he poofs on contact.

Before Obsidian's gem can even get close to the ground, I catch it and fall to the ground in tears. I clutch the cracked gem in my hands. "Obsidian. W-why." I say while sobbing. Snow drops down next to me. He cries on my shoulder. "It's okay Opal. He'll come back and we can fix him. I promise." he says as he pats my shoulder. Without even thinking, I wrap my arms around his neck with the gem still in my hands. I blush against his neck and we finally pull away and stand up.

I choose to keep Obsidian with me while I stand in the back with Snow. Suddenly, Snow pushes me back and freezes an arrow in mid flight. He looks at his hands in awe. "Woah. I didn't know I could do that. That'll come in handy." he says. We turn to see Skinny Jasper pulling another arrow back. Snow draws his Scythe and instructs me to stay back.

They rush to each other as Skinny makes his bow become a dual sided sword. They start to fight. I throw a sickle at Skinny and it hits him in the knee. He falls down in pain and Snow takes this as a time to strike. He poofs skinny and leaves his gem just lying there. We walk away and await the reformation of Obsidian. I start to talk to Blue again and we get lost in a random conversation.

Verdelite's POV
There he goes again. This needs to stop and it needs to be now. I walk up to Snow with confidence. "Hey. Those were some really good moves back there." I say while rubbing the back of my neck. "Thanks." He says. I frown, seeing as this might not be easy. I was going to have to keep trying.

Opal's POV
'Why was Verdelite suddenly talking to Snow? They never talked until now.' I think. I just try to shrug it off, but it just sits there like a cat waiting to pounce. The one thought on my mind was what we were going to do with Obsidian. I was scared for him.

When we reach the end of the hallway, I hear a big pair of heels pacing up and down a corridor and breathing heavily. I peak through the window only to see a black heel hitting the ground. Then, all I hear was a scary voice. "I know you are there."
