Steven Universe: Only Fuse with You (Peridot x Lapis)

Chapter 6

NOTES: This chapter could've gone through so many scenarios but decided to stick with this one. Simple of explaining things. This chapter will contain mild swearing. (I'm actually doing quite well as normally I go full-brown with strong language).

Lapis was still asleep but she smiled as she replayed her time with Peridot through her dreams...the thought of Peridot made her feel around with her hand but this caused her to wake up, as her hand felt an empty space where Peridot was lying next to her. She sat up, keeping the grey blanket close to her. Where was Peridot? Lapis looked around the barn.

LAPIS: Peridot...?

There was no response but she noticed that Peridot's clothing was gone, all that was left was hers. She got up and proceeded to put her clothes back on. Maybe Peridot went out for a walk, she thought to herself. It didn't take long for Lapis to get changed and then headed for the barn door.

The barn door creaked as she opened it and the sun rays burst in causing Lapis to be blinded for a while but her vision came back in no time...still, Peridot was nowhere to be seen. Lapis felt a little hurt that Peridot didn't say anything, she wouldn't have minded if it meant waking her up...maybe the event last night was the reason...but why, it was something they both wanted and both enjoyed. Lapis didn't want to go to far in case Peridot would come back but wasn't sure how long this would take...though the quicker way of finding her love was to fly in the air and get a good view, she couldn't have gotten far. Lapis decided this was the best way and then produced her wings from her gem, the water substance making a beautiful wings and started to flap, she raised from the ground and was quickly in the air.

While in the air, Lapis remembered the talk that she had with Steven about seeing the planet and places to possibly live...maybe Peridot would like that, a place to settle, a place to make their own. She had to find her first but it seemed like a good idea. The view was spectacular, full of green and slight orange on some of the trees...but with her fantastic view, she couldn't see Peridot...then again her green appearance could be disguised through the nature of the planet. Lots of green and yet Lapis smiled even more, each green of different shades reminding her of Peridot.

Just then, she saw two dots down below, she flew down a little closer to get a better look and noticed it was Peridot with Garnet. It was obvious they were talking and she decided to descend a little to hear what they were saying but just then...she heard a roar, a roar of thunder coming from the skies. Lapis turned around to see the clouds grey and fierce, moving violently....and within a few seconds, a bizarre yellow craft came through. Lapis gasped at the sight...she knew full well, who's ship that belonged to. Yellow Diamond.

LAPIS: No...

Lapis was about to descend and hide but the jaggered diamond filled ship shot out a beam of light, white at first, like it was a spot light...Lapis flew towards to ship and noticed it was aiming at the barn. But why there...? No one was in it...and within seconds, not finishing her thoughts, the ship shot out a yellow light, impacting on the barn and causing a explosion, the barn seemed to puff out before becoming a huge fire ball and causing the mushroom-like explosion and the smoke quickly appearing into the sky. This caused Lapis to lose concentration and lose her flight but she quickly gained her momentum of flight... she saw the barn nothing but burning rubble. She then heard a scream from down below and saw Peridot running towards the once-stood barn, with Garnet running after her and quickly scooping her up with seconds. Lapis gasped...and straight away headed where Peridot and Garnet were going.

The black smoke was billowing even thicker into the air as they got close.

As they got over a ridge of a hill, they could see the barn was in ruins, the whole place was nothing but wooden rubble and blazing fire, dancing all over of what it could burn into ashes. The barn was no more...nothing left was standing. Peridot was struggling in Garnet's arms, trying to get loose.
