"If you fall, I will be your wings"

"Oh really?~"

"Really"

As Peridot caressed her cheek, making the bed warmer than before. The bed and Peridot made Lapis want to dance on her toes. The room was perfect, the lace was white, the indigo color mix with a little emerald, and everything with the fragrance of citrus. She felt like a child just next to her fiancée, nothing could break this bond, from the million stars above, it's felt right. This little room, with her, could be her safely home...

That is just what Lapis dream of.

"Bet she was having a really nice time in that fake fantasy. How cute, to think that there will be another 'celebration' at this particular moment" - Nora chuckled

Which make Peridot turns in her anger - "What do you want?!!"

One of the figures that hold her down finally open up to speak, "Shut up Peridot!"

I know this voice. She thought, "Blue Pearl?". Removing her hood, there's a familiar face she wouldn't think it would be here. Or even why.

"I should have known..." - Angry eyes were just right at the start, then came the slamming and the clipped words, Peridot growled, "What is the meaning of this!"

"I just want to talk" - said Nora

"The hell you wanna talk about, I don't even know you!"

"Oh, but you will, soon" - as she started taking a step closer to her, continued "Because. You and your lovely wife will play a vital role in my plan, and I just —".

Nora sliced her hand, cut deep at Peridot face, "Need a little of your blood, and hers", she reached her palm upward, her gaze turns, not to the blonde in front anymore, but the one that was behind her, walking upon, giving her the bottle that content Lapis's blood, and also... the rings.

"You...traitor" - said while grinding her teeth, the way her heart ached when she glared at her.

"Welcome back" - Blue Pearl said with a grin slowly emerge on her face.

"Pearl" - She continued. All of the people, it has to be her...Peridot gulped nervously. A burning animosity was developing in her chest, and Pearl could tell she was likely the root cause of the problem. Other than the sound of Nora's laughter, the room was a silent concrete box.

By using that chance, while no one else was looking, Peridot hand create a small orb, her intent sending a line to Garnet and the other.

*Crack, The heck?, The orb... it just cracks and vanishes?

"Garnet? Really Peridot? I must say... bad choice. She's currently having fun with White Pearl for your information. What's the matter? Can't face me alone? Have to call your other mommy?"

"I don't need them to take you down on my own..."

"Oh starlight, you're such a card." Nora sang as Peridot stared silently glaring at her. "I can't let you get away..." she paused, giving her a knowing look. There's my chance. A thought runs through her mind.

Quickly channeling her power, Peridot successfully escape from Blue Pearl grips as she still stood there in surprise, "Get the fuck out—!", aiming for the head it wouldn't likely to miss, but... she froze. It was Lapis screamed that stopped her, the vines, it strangled the angel harder than before. "Try harder. You ain't my level yet, pathetic lil mushroom..."

"Enough Nora" - Pearl yelled, giving the raven-haired girl stop for a tick, "We're done here"

"We're done when I'm done, Pearl"
