(Takes place after Lapis and Jasper unfuse. Lapis joins the team and Jasper gets poofed and bubbled) (My AU) This was a dare from @superchimchar to do a gemXgem one shot that is not canon. Ever since Lapis joined the team, Pearl noticed they both have a lot in common. She feels bad about how she misjudged her of being bad. Pearl began developing feelings for her and Amethyst seems to notice. How will Lapis feel? How would Steven react? Credits to Rebecca Sugar and the artist of the picture above.

THE REST WAS EDITED)

Even though Steven says she's not, the words "Your just a phase, you know that right?" that Pearl said to Greg stuck to her and made her wonder, Am I just a phase? Should she even hang out with Steven if she could mean nothing to him? Read to find out! (They are 13 at the time) (DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN STEVEN UNIVERSE OR THE FANART OR THE OTHER PICTURES)
