Dear lord, Steven Bomb 3 announced... I cannot survive another I'm afraid... This may be the end for dear old author

*Dramatically Collapses From Overly Abused Feels*

Lapis POV:

What do people wear to casual-maybe dates? I look in my closet throwing things around, searching until my eyes catch a light blue sundress.

"Perfect!"

The thin-strapped gown fit perfectly when I tied the sash around my waist. I hope this is okay... Looking in the mirror I twirled around watching the bottom flair up. Yep, it's okay, I thought with a smile.

I grabbed my phone from the nightstand beside my bed, calling Greg.

Ring...Ring.."Hello?"

"Hey, I was wondering if I could come and get Steven early since I won't be able to later. I have a..erm..date.."

"Oh, yeah sure come and get him whenever, he'll be glad to see you."

I heard in the background "LAPIS HEYYYY." Steven yelled.

I laughed, replying,

"Okay, I'll come by in a second."

"Bye, Lapis. Steven, don't yell when I'm on the-" He hung up the phone.

I slip on some sandals and walk out, heading for the carwash. I arrived and got Steven so I could walk him home later.

"So, who's your date Lapis?"

"W-What date? This isn't a date." I said laughing nervously.

"Dad said you had to get me early for a date." Why does Greg have to be so honest?!

"Yeah, okay fine this is a sorta-maybe-possibly-date and, uh, and your gonna play a game to see who can pretend the best!"

"Pretend to what?" He asked with a glint in his eye, he loved pretending.

"Hmm, you have to pretened your a spy and your spying on Lars. Got it?"

"You got it dude!" He said giving a thumbs up.

I laughed,

"Okay then."

Peridot's POV:

"Ugh, no, no, no!"

I groan and slam my head onto my bed. I had barely unpacked any of my clothes and looking through all of those boxes would take way to long, not to mention messy. I can't even borrow Jasper's clothes because her size is way too big for me. Curse her muscles!

Frantic, I look around searching every corner of my stuff hoping to find something decent. Before I gave up, I find a short-sleeved green blouse with lace along the back. This'll do...

Trying on the shirt, I grab some blue jeans and flip-flops. Well, Good enough I suppose.

"Jasper, I'm leaving, see you when I get back, and try not to break anything while I'm gone this time." I say looking at my favorite glass cat shattered on the floor. She tried gluing it together hoping I wouldn't notice, but I always notice...

I sighed and walked out, praying over and over this goes okay...

Lapis POV:

A bell rings as we open the door to the shop. Steven walks in slowly and then does a barrel roll behind some chairs, or at least attempts to. He gets stuck on back and then rolls the rest of the way. I laugh at him and Lars and Sadie give him a weird look.

"Um, Steven, what are you doing?" Sadie asks.

"Shh, Sadie, I'm spying on Lars, but don't tell anyone." He whisper-yells across the store. Lars heard him and rolls his eyes.

I sit down watching the door and biting my lip and twiddling my thumbs. Steven was behind the counter watching Lars out of the corner of his eye.

"Steven you're starting to freak me out!" Lars said. He just stared more intensely, and Lars groaned.

Peridot POV:

I walked in the shop and saw Lapis looking at Steven and the guy cashier. I sat in front of her and she still didn't notice me. I grabbed her hand to get her attention.

"Hey, uh Lapis?"

"AH! Oh H-Hey, Peridot..." She looked down and blushed. I blushed and took my hand away.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.. Wait there's a bell on the door! How did you not hear that?" I laughed.

She blushed a deeper shade.

"Well, I was kindof zoned out." She laughed slightly. "How did the interview go?"

"Umm, well apparently they don't hire 'Outsiders'! Can you believe those clods?"

"Really? I thought Koffi got rid of that rule.. Sorry Perri."

Perri? I blushed.

"Y-Yeah no big deal, I'll find a job eventually. I'll just work at the arcade and I'll be happy all day!"

"You like games?"

"Like? I love video games! It's basically all I do." I realized what I said, "Uh, I mean not all I do mean I have a life and all..."

She laughed and I blushed again, why....

"Do you want something to eat? We could go to a regular restaurant if you want real food."

"We can some other time, I can see you're kinda babysitting right now." I said laughing and looking at Steven chasing the cashier around for reason.

"Steven, stop following me!"

"I have a duty!!"

We both laughed.

"What's that about?"

"Oh, uh, Steven just really really likes Lars, I didn't tell him to do anything.."

I guess we both get stressed about this kinda stuff... Wait she was nervous too? OH MY SWEET CELESTIA, THIS IS A DATE!

"S-So, nice weather huh..." I said to break the silence. What? The weather is awful, stupid stupid stupid.

"Um, yeah I guess so..."

"Yeah.. Where do you live? I don't think you ever told me where exactly."

"I live a little ways down from the Steven's house just out of town."

"Oh, isn't that kinda far for you to not have a car?"

"It's fine, I need exsercise anyways." She laughed.

"You could always stay at our house anytime you want, Jasper wouldn't mind....probably." I smile.

She blushed and shook her head, "I mean I wouldn't want to impose.."

"It'll be okay, even if she does care she won't do anything, she'll just go to her room and secretly watch My Little Pony when she thinks I don't notice." I laughed.

"That's interesting... Sure, why not. Steven's guardian's will be back tonight so I won't have to stay with him, plus I won't have to walk all the way back."

"So it's settled then, party at my house!"

She laughed and said, "It's a date."

Someone help me I can't breathe....
