"Amethyst invited us to her house party."

"Get dressed,this might be what I need"

"... alright but- if amethyst tries to coerce me to do karaoke again im leaving."

"capiche?"

"Look Peri,I have no idea how you hugged me so hard my shirt fell off but.."

I won't ask if you get the door?"

"Ugh. Whatever,I'll get it."

"She's in the bathroom I guess."

Lapis grumbled as she turned the lock and opened the door for her Landlord,looking like Hot Trash.

"Sup."

“Oh, hello there, Lapis! I brought over a casserole for you and Peridot, if you don’t mind!” Her smile faded a bit, “I thought I’d pop over and check if you were er- okay after last night.”

She seemed to blush slightly at Pearl's generous gift.

"Y-You didn't...have to do that..." she looked off,but took the casserole anyway.

Oh. Great. Everyone must have heard all that...

"Pfft,I've never been okay in my life~!"

Nice one lapis.

“I believe that’s what Steven would call a big mood.” She winked.

“And nonsense! Cooking always makes me feel better when I’m in a little tizzy~”

Lapis snickered at that,before composing herself with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh,is there like..

something wrong with you,too?"

“Wrong? Oh no, I wouldn’t say wrong!” Pearl took a deep breath.

“It’s just.. Losing someone. The pain never really does go away.”

“... And there’s nothing wrong about that, Lapis. Being in pain, I mean.”

"Yeah; and you're...strong for realizing that.."

"Oh,good cause,that's an everyday thing for me!"

"sorry, lapis, are you calling for me? i was getting dressed and, yknow... headphones. so what's up-"

"oh! ms pearl! what are you here for? with food and everything-!?"

"geez... the air feels tense-"

"uh oh."

"are we getting evicted?"

She sighed,nodding.

"Yep. Pack your things." She giggled behind her hand,pulling peridot to the door.

"Man pearl,it sure does suck that you're kicking us out!"

“Oh my stars, no! I was only bringing over a casserole for the two of you...”

"oh my stars, i knew it, i knew she'd find out about the fire we set with amethyst, i blame this on you lazuli, where am i gonna go-"

"...you aren't...kicking us out..?"
