Chapter Text
Lapis laid in her waterbed, as it was Saturday, it was too early to get up. But she wasn't about to go back to sleep, for she was too excited. Sure, with her parents' job she had to move a lot. But her parents promised her that they'd be staying until she graduates. Which would be next year.
As soon as the clock on her nightstand read 6:00am. She jumped out of bed, not bothering to turn the lights on, and made her way down the stairs, and made sure she was silent.
Lapis ruffled her dyed blue hair, and looked around. She was still getting used to the house, it was in the outer part of Beach City, the ocean wasn't all that far from the house. Lapis took another look at her parents' room, the white door popping out against the dark yellow walls surrounding it. 'They most likely won't mind if I left for a bit....'
Lapis ran up the stairs, into her room and jerked the closet door open. She quickly discarded her night gown. Settling for a plain black shirt, blue shorts that reached her knees, and a white jacket along with her- 'Nah, I'll just go barefoot.' Walking out the door, Lapis took what she would think was the quickest way to the ocean.
She found her way easily, seagulls screamed above her. Lapis shushed the birds but that seemed to only cause more noise, so she gave up.
After about 15 minutes of walking the blue haired girl got hit with a familiar smell, the sea. The high tide had just begun, and the waves crash against the rocks and sand, Lapis took a seat in the sand, just out of reach of the water, save for her feet.
The sun was still rising, the golden hue spreads across the sky, it was beautiful. Lapis; admiring the view was startled when a crash was heard and the peaceful setting was disturbed.
Lapis whipped her head to the direction of the sound. The sixteen year old stood, and walked towards the sound, as she walked, she started to hear voices and the closer she got the clearer they got. The blue haired girl ducked and took cover behind a rock. 'Just in case...'
Another loud crash was heard, and voices developed into shouts of frustration and annoyance. Soon enough Lapis was close enough to make out what they were saying clearly and without problem.
"God Damnit Amethyst! You'll wake up Steven! And then you're going to be the one who puts him back to bed! God. You can be so fucking stupid sometimes"
'Who's Steven?'
"Oh that's really nice P! Because you're so perfect aren't you?!"
Lapis took a peek and saw two figures.. The taller of the two looked at the shorter with a careless look, and shrugged, She wore a black coat, with tails at the end, going all the way to the back of her knees, she had to be taller than Lapis, her actual shirt wasn't at full length, it was a loose belly shirt more or less. The shortness of the shirt left her stomach exposed, showing off more of her pale skin, it almost looked sickly. Her nose was quite long, and big, if you thought about it, it was almost like she had a bird beak, her black pants were lanky and loose, as all her clothing was. Her hair was a peach color, and styled upwards, into a pixie cut with a few curls near her head. Her thin lips were pulled tight as the other, much shorter one continued yelling.
"You're fucking doing it again! You keep acting like the only thing you care about is Steven!"
Who Lapis assumed was Amethyst, was plump, short barely reaching the upper stomach of 'P'. She had much plumper lips than her than the Bird nosed woman.
'Her hair must have been dyed. No one has white hair right?'
Her black shirt was tight and did well to hug her curvy frame. The white boots she wore stomped in anger and the taller quickly shushed her in fear of waking this 'Steven'. Lapis bit her lip in thought.
'I shouldn't be here. Maybe I should just go before this gets even more serious than how it already is'. In the middle of her thought; Lapis was interrupted by a stomp of the smaller woman Amethyst yelling at P, and walking in the house where a baby's cry was heard.
'....I'm guessing that's Steven' A loud sigh could be heard from the tall woman, as she trudged down the steps, pulling out a lighter and a pack of cigarettes, she sat on a rock relatively close to the one Lapis hid behind.
To avoid bring spotted; Lapis inched to the side of the rock farthest away from the smoker. That didn't stop Lapis to peek at the other. At a distance, the other looked much older, but getting a close up she didn't look but at most a year older than Lapis herself. Although her face was wary, and tired. She sighed before lighting the cigarette she must have taken out its place in the small rectangular box before she had sat on the rock.
The older girl pulled the collar of her jacket/trench coat up, covering half of her face, and seemed to bury herself into it even more. The smoke coming from the hidden part of her face almost looked like it was her breath instead of the smoke. She turned her attention to the side, and turned her head to the opposite side, away from Lapis.
'Well it's now or never right?' She quickly scrabbled through the sand. That might have been her mistake. Her cause was the effect to sand being kicked up and the smoker looking her way, causing the peach colored teen to tackle her from the behind and slamming her front into the sand.
"You've got ten seconds, explain who you are, what you're doing here. And who sent you....wait don't tell me"
The taller one of the two lifted Lapis a few inches off the ground and slammed her back down into the fine sand. Earning a soft cry of pain from the blue haired sixteen year old.
"It was that blond bitch: Diamond, wasn't it?!"
Of course Lapis had no idea what the other was talking about so she just weakly whimpered and shook her head. Usually she would have put up a fight. But she got the message the taller female was not one to be trifled with, especially with the hold on her.
"My name is Lapis! I just moved here! I live about fifteen minutes away from here. I came down to the beach and heard a crash and came to see what it was! I heard you and the other lady yelling and I was just about to leave. I'm not spying for anyone! I promise I wasn't"
The other seemed to lighten up before fully pulling up. Lapis rolled away. Before standing.
"So, Are we alright?"
Her voice shakes before returning to its own, cool, almost liquid voice. It just flowed if that made any sense. The words just fluid. The other sighed, her tone a bit on the high side. But not too much yet sounded a little gruff.
"Yes. We are. 'Alright'" She walked away. Before turning her head to Lapis "But don't let me catch you here again"
