Peridot was on a ship trying to fix something.

Peridot: Stupid machine...9!

Peridot: Get over here!

She walked away........then came back.

Peridot: I said, get over here!

9 completely ignored her. She walked up next to him.

Peridot: I will not ignored like this!

9 looked at her...than back at his work.

Peridot: THAT'S IT!

Peridot formed an energy ball with her limb enhancers and aimed it at 9.

Peridot: NOTICE ME!

9 inhaled deeply, let out an annoyed sigh, then looked at Peridot.

9: .......What? I'm busy.

Peridot turned off the laser.

Peridot: Finally! The communicator isn't working!

9: Did you try turning it off then back on?

Peridot: Oh...no I haven't.

She le-

Peridot: Hey wait! You're being sarcastic!

9: *Slow claps* Great observation. Amazing. Wooooooooo......

Peridot: I've had it up to here with you! You always act like your better than me! You-

9 slowly stood up. Even with her limb enhancers, Peridot just barely met him at eye level. He was very intimidating.

Peridot: You...uh....

9: Let's try this again. What do you want?

Peridot: *gulp* M-may you please help me?

9: Much better.

9 left the room to fix the problem.

Peridot: Clod.

She followed behind.

9: What's the problem?

Peridot: No matter how much I try, I can't get the communicator to work!

9 slowly raised his hand...then hit the machine really hard......and it worked.

Peridot: Wait what?

9: Percussive Maintenance. Now, if you'll excuse me.

He want back to work on his limb enhancers.

Peridot: ...I hate him. Why did I have to be his partner?

Peridot typed on the communicator. Meanwhile, 9 was still working on his limb enhancers.

9: I don't understand why Yellow Diamond put me with her. It's not like I need the help. *sigh* Guess I'll deal with it.

He continued working on his improvements. He got up to some more tools and nearly fell face first.

9: Woah! That was close....heh, imagine falling face first. What foolish-fool would do that?
