Me, Myself, and Him

Chapter 10: Party

Lapis POV

--WARP--

Me and Gray warped to a place near Beach City, by the Temple. Gray was clutching his stomach, and he looked like he was going to be sick

That. Was by far. The worst experience. I have ever had. Ever.

I chuckled.

"Yeah, I guess warping is a little weird for anyone that isn't a gem. It's an experience, that's for sure."

I feel like my intestines are made of venomous snakes right now.

We started walking towards Beach City. Gray's face seemed to light up when we got near. Then we were walking into the small city. He looked like he was about to pass out.

Oh. My. God. It's so... beautiful. I feel like I've died and gone to urban heaven.

"So you really don't remember ANYTHING about Beach City?"

I'm not even sure I used to live in Beach City, so for all I know this could be my first time actual seeing this place. It's amazing, though. The ocean... The lights... I could spend all day in this place.

I looked at Gray as he looked at the city with wonder. It reminded me of the first time I visited Earth. I thought the place looked beautiful my first time here thousands of years ago. 

I wish I could've kept the same appreciation for it as Gray was showing right now. But after spending so long stuck inside of mirror, months forcefully fused (Fusion is a sort of... combination of powers and personalities between two gems.) together with a horrible gem named Jasper, and living in constant fear of Homeworld coming to attack Earth, the blue planet simply didn't have the amazement it did so many years ago. It was a horrible reminder of the pain I went through

And now this infection was just another awful memory in my horrible life on this hunk of rock.

I shot down that train of thought immediately. I knew that by this point, bad thoughts lead to even worse actions. Today, I enjoy myself.

Lapis! Did you hear my question?

I guess I had blanked out there for a second, because Gray was yelling a bit loader then usual.

"Huh?"

I said: Can we go to this party? It looks like so much fun, and seems like the type of thing that could distract you from all the horrible things going on.

He was holding up a piece of paper with words written on it. I read the paper over. 

Rave tonight @ 9pm

Old Warehouse

Sour Cream on DJ

Free Glowsticks.

"Um... I don't know. I've never been to a party before. This might not be a good idea."

Oh. My. God. Now we have to go. Going to a party is a once in a lifetime opportunity. You meet so many new people, and you have so much fun, and there's music to dance to, a-and... wait a minute...

"That does sound like a lot of fun. You must have been to some good parties."

That's just it...

He turned to face me.

I don't remember ever going to a party. I don't remember anything about parties.

"So... How would you know what parties are like?"

Maybe... Maybe I'm starting to get my memories back!
