How To Take Care Of A Gemling

Citrine: okay. I've been up all night trying to work and get things situated. Lapis...

Lapis: yes?

Citrine: you have to shape-shift into a Gemling...and Peridot has to take care of you.

Y.D: just like you took care of me.

Citrine: yes...

Peridot: hey, why you so down today?

Citrine: I've just been having thoughts...

Peridot: great.

Citrine: about the past, the war, and other stuff. But let's get this dare done!

Peridot: okay.

Lapis: *shape-shifts to Gemling* pii!!

Peridot: aww! Now I get why you were so protective to your Gemling! Where did your Gemling go anyways?

Citrine: *blushes* she's...right there.

Y.D: hey.

Peridot: she shape-shifted into one didn't she?

Citrine: yes, now focus on Lapis! You need to make sure you keep your eyes on her at all times, never let her do anything stupid.

Y.D: yes, you need to keep her occupied.

Peridot: since when do you know how to be a mother Citrine?

Citrine: *blushes* I've uh...I've cared for Gemlings for awhile on Homeworld.

Y.D: yes, I thought you already knew that?

Peridot: no...I did not know that. Well mind giving me tips?

Citrine: fine.
---3 hours later---
Citrine: that's all you need to know about Gemlings and how to take care of them.

Peridot: okay.

Y.D: that took a long time to explain. But I get it.

Citrine: you learn to be a loving mother to your Gemlings...

Peridot: how many did you have anyways?

Citrine: *blushes once more* why do you want to know?

Y.D: yea, I've always wondered that too.

Citrine: *blushes deeper* okay, please stop...we need to keep Lapis occupied. Where is she anyways?

Peridot: she right...oh my god...Lapis! *tears fall down cheek* I lost my baby/wife!

Citrine: that's why you keep an eye on Gemlings! Better hurry up and find her before she goes outside...*looks at door half way open* you know what? Let's go outside to look for her! *all runs outside*
---later---
Peridot: Lapis! There you are!

Y.D: finally! Now let's get back inside...

Citrine: please! My neck is hurting...

Peridot: why is it hurting?

Citrine: I...I don't know...ugh! Let's just go back inside...

Y.D: what's up with her?

Peridot: I don't know...but she's holding her gem...something's  going on...

Lapis: *wiggles and draws circle with hand*

Peridot: what? A circle?

Lapis: pi!

Y.D: I think she's saying something that's the shape of a sphere.

Lapis: *draws circle and points to self*

Y.D: a geode? A Gemling geode?

Peridot: I'll figure this out later...moving on.
