Over Our Obstacles [ENG] [FINISHED/ADDING REMAINING CHAPTERS]

Chapter 2 | Accidentally in Your Arms

"It's really coming down." Pearl remarked, looking out of window, watching the lightning sky.

"You're lucky you've got your ass in my apartment right now." Amethyst laughed, urgently searching for something in a fridge. „Maaan, there's nothing in here!" She growled and slammed the fridge door. "I should've bought food before the storm started."

"Haven't I told you so?" Garnet asked with a faint giggle, slowly sitting down onto a couch with a smile on her dark face. Amethyst just exhaled deeply.

Pearl glanced over at Amethyst as she climbed up the kitchen counter and opened the cupboard, trying to find something to eat. "Well, I could take my bike and buy something after the storm is over." Pearl offered, still watching the girl.

"Oh yeah, could you even imagine a sleepover without any food?" The pudgy girl chuckled and jumped back down. "It's a shame you're here by your bike, P. It would be faster with your ol' pickup... maybe." She added.

"If only I knew that weather like this would happen, I'd bring the pickup for sure." She locked her mouth in a tight line, she turned back to the window and leaned her elbows against the window sill.

"None of us saw that coming." Garnet nodded in acceptance. She shifted her glasses a little upper onto her round nose.

"Says the right person." Amethyst snorted and sat down onto the couch next to her. "Oh! I have an idea!" Amethyst added suddenly.

Pearl turned around again, looking at her. "And what is it?"

"You can take your bike and bring us some cake from the confectioners' that's behind the city, and I and Garnet can take a walk to the store down the street. The confectioners' is way farther than that, it would take us an eternity to get there and back, right?"

Garnet hummed at that. She rubbed her chin and then she nodded. "That's a good idea."

"I know right! I'm a hidden genius." Amethyst smirked, her chest puffed in pride. "Man, I'm really hungry for a cake."

Pearl giggled and cupped her mouth with her hand. "Alright. I'll bring us something sweet to eat after that storm is over."

"Sounds great." Garnet smiled at her.

Lapis was sitting on a bale of hay in the attic of a giant barn with little stable dog in her lap, listening to the sound of thunder that was loudly storming outside.

She could perfectly see the whole barn interior from there. This view was one of many views which she really liked. Also this was the most favorite place of hers to spend alone times in. She dared say that she spent more time in there than in her own house. She really loved being here.

As the lightning bolt flashed the sky, followed by a thunder sound, young puppy started to bark and tremble. Lapis squeezed it tightly and softly hushed it. "Calm down, girl. It's just thunder." She hugged the fluffy puppy and stroked its soft head. "I'm here, don't worry. It won't hurt you."

Raindrops were falling down fast, wind was blowing from side to side and sometimes Lapis could hear horses loudly neighing from the stable which was adjoined with the barn in which she was sitting.

The floor plan of the building was designed into a T shape, the longer part of it was a stable with stalls, tack room and wash stall. The corridor then led to the minor part with storage and feed room placed right under the attic. If there wasn't any hay in feed room anymore, and the staff needed to feed the horses, they had to climb up the ladder to the attic and get the food from there.
