part 57: crystal children

pearl's head shot up at this, an offended, incredulous sneer on her face. "Excuse me?"

"Well, if you weren't so uptight and stuffy all the time-!" Amethyst started, but was cut off by an indignant scoff.

"Oh please! this is YOUR fault! if you weren't so reckless and difficult to deal with then maybe we'd-" amethyst groaned loudly, pressing her hands to where her ears would be.

"Uuugh, here we go again with the whining! oh amethyst, you're so messy, you're reckless, you're soooo unorganized, BLAH BLAH BLAH!" she rolls her eyes. "All's you ever do is nag, P! nag nag NAG! Like, lighten up for once will ya?!"

pearl groaned jabbing a finger in her direction. "I wouldn't HAVE to nag If you weren't such a MESS and at least act like you care for once!"

this struck a nerve as amethyst rounded a furious glare at the thin gem. "A mess, huh!? Like the one you put us in, with rose's bubble!?"

"IT WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED IF YOU WOULD'VE STOOD IN YOUR FILTHY ROOM AND OUT OF MY PERSONAL SPACE!" Pearl barked jabbing a finger into her chest.

"NO IT WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED IF YOU KEPT YOUR HANDS OFF THE STUPID BUBBLE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!" amethyst shot back, getting close to her face, with a fist clenched.

"DON'T YOU DA-"

"SHUT UP!!"

Both gems yelped in surprise, force your roaring voice knocking them back into the couch, sending a violent quake throughout the temple, shaking a few pictures off the walls and knick-knacks off the shelves.

You huffed angrily, staring down at them as they sulk into the couch again, going back to pouting in separate directions of each other.

"Pathetic." you rumbled, shaking your head and crossing your arms. "Two fully-fledged crystal gems. Fighting like children." Your eyes burned holes into them, as they sank further into their seats, try to repress a wince from the disappointment in your voice. "Disgraceful!" You snorted at their lack of response and started to pace back and forth, rubbing your forehead in frustration and thought as you continued your rant. "This isn't to be tolerated. Pearl and amethyst need to get over themselves and accept each other's differences. the quicker the better because (name) isn't going to be having this." You huffed blowing out a small puff of steam. "Fighting not only make steven feel stressed, but it gets followed by mayhem, and he doesn't need that. None of us do. Something needs to be done."

Amethyst, despite her rigidity, grumbled softly under her breath, in a way she thought you wouldn't hear. "And could you do it?"

You bring your pacing to a stop as you remembered a specific thing you've seen on steven's phone and stared pensively down at the two.

"...hm."

"(name)?"

Garnet pokes head in the front door. "is everything alright in here?"

You, who was sitting in the middle of the living room with your back to the door, looked over your shoulder at the tall gem, offering a curious, yet polite smile. "Garnet! Did pizza coupons work?"

Garnet smiled, stepping back to let steven and spinel walk in, steven holding a medium a flat box, and spinel holding a larger one, both boxes with the words "Fish Stew Pizza" sprawled across them, as well as an odd pizza-fish mascot printed on it. "They sure did!" Spinel chirped. "And to thank ya, we got a pizza just for you!" She held up the large box proudly.

You smiled brightly, your tail wagging slightly at their kind repayment. "It was (name)'s pleasure." Spinel giggled as steven placed his pizza on the living room table and looked around anxiously. "Did... you manage fix things between pearl and amethyst?"

You grinned mischievously. "Why, yes. and (name) has learned something in the process as well."

Steven lifts his brow. "What's that?"

Your grin widened as you stepped aside. "That along with stuff from amethyst's room..."

"Duct tape really IS a useful tool."
