Lapis POV
As you might have guessed, my name is Lapis Lazuli. I'm a gem, which is to say, a species not from Earth. I had a pretty simple life. I was friends with a human-gem hybrid named Steven Universe. I also belong to a group of rebels called the Crystal Gems, who help protect this planet from Homeworld, the place where I come from. The Crystal Gems consisted of Pearl, Garnet, Amethyst, Steven, Me, and... Peridot. I lived in the countryside in a redecorated barn, and for once I actually was happy about my life and how it was going...
And then there was Peridot.
Peridot, another member of the Crystal Gems, just so happens to be my roommate in the barn. She's small, she's funny, she's green and to be honest... I think I'm kind of falling for her.
Everytime we're together, I get this fuzzy feeling in my head, and my face starts to heat up whenever we started talking. I chalked it up to trauma or maybe a problem with my gem at first, but I slowly started to realize I... liked her.
I actually really enjoyed how my life was going. Everything was really starting... click, you know? I was finally happy with where I was
And then Peridot had to go and invite me on that stupid mission.
It was a warm day at the barn and I was in the middle of a book Steven had lent me, when suddenly, Peridot burst through the barn doors.
"Lapis! " Peridot screamed, "The Crystal Gems and I are going on a mission to fight a bunch of weird corrupted gems we found by this abandoned scientific lab in the Prime Kindergarten. Care to join us?"
"I don't know. I'm kinda in the middle of book right now, and I don't feel like doing much else." I replied.
"Come on, please?" Peridot begged, "It'll be fun, I promise!"
"The last time you told me that, I almost shattered and you almost got crushed under a pile of rocks, and we didn't even catch the corrupted gem."
Peridot blushed and let out a nervous laugh: "Okay, so our last mission didn't go soooo well, but this time will be different!" I was still reluctant. "Come on Lapis, please?" Peridot looked up at me with these puppy dog eyes.
Stupid small gem and her small gem charm.
"Okay Peridot, I'll go on the mission."
