“Aww Perii,” The purple quartz whined as she watched her best friend, Peridot, get ready to go. She didn’t want Peridot to leave, she wanted Peridot to stay here. She looked over at the technician, eyes glossed over, with the corners of her mouth now beginning to fall into a frown. “Do you HAVE to go?” The quartz continued to whine, she really didn’t want Peridot to leave.
Peridot looked back at the older gem, with a rather reluctant, hesitant look in her eyes. She looked away, now avoiding making eye contact with Amethyst, and took a deep breath.“I’m sorry but, yes, I do have to leave now. I have to go prepare the greenhouse for Little Homeschool tomorrow. I am teaching a group of gems about gardening, and what it is. I’m really excited about it, it’s a good opportunity.”
“But Periii,” The purple quartz begged and pleaded, the tone of her voice beginning to sound squeaky, as she tugged at the rim of the olivine gem’s shirt. She really didn’t know why she was being so clingy and weird all of the sudden, but all she really wanted was for Peridot to stay here… with her.
“Look, Amethyst… I’m really sorry but I really have to go…,” Peridot apologized, now feeling somewhat guilty and really not wanting to leave Amethyst like this. She didn’t want to leave and as much as she loved Amethyst, being an instructor at Little Homeworld and helping those who were lost and trying to find themselves was really important to her. “Maybe another time?”
“Ugh whatever,” Amethyst sulked, like a child that had just been told they couldn’t get the toy they wanted, crossing her arms and turning around so Peridot couldn’t see how upset she was. She almost felt bad for making such a scene and bothering, guilting Peridot into staying longer, but all she really wanted was for Peridot to stay here with her.. “See ya around, Dot,” She muttered as she began to walk away from Peridot, who just stood there with confusion and a sense of guilt written all over her face.
