Stop! Don't Touch That!

"Hi other me ,I haven't seen you for a while ... May I ask what happened to your hand? I thought we had five fingers ...." [ Since your Peridot lost a finger at some point and those two have already talked haha ]

“That can’t be true … You can’t be me … No,  you can’t  …”

“I swear, that image was EDITED! What sick person did this! I never did that! Ever!” LIAR LIAR SHIP ON FIRE. Oh wait. Haha. Ship on fire. 

"Hi other me ,I haven't seen you for a while ... May I ask what happened to your hand? I thought we had five fingers ...." [ Since your Peridot lost a finger at some point and those two have already talked haha ]

“ You did what ?!”

“Twinkies are too good. And I was doing twinkie-based experiments.” Popped up was now a photo of her GENTLEMEN-ing an amount of Twinkies. “COMPUTER, PUT THAT AWAY-”

 “It sort of exploded in my face when I added a tiny bit of metal to it. So um. Don’t put tin foil in hydrochloric acid.” Now she’s blatant bullshit lying. You ate part of your own hand while Twinkie binging and you know it. She showed a chart on her finger-screen. There were numbers, and letters, and- was that a Twinkie logo. …Nope. It’s hidden. Shh. It was never there.

Peridot observed the data that flowed on the screen and for a second her eyes caught a weird shape …. Was it some kind of logos ? Anyway the other Peridot’s explanation wasn’t convincing at all.

“Alright. Fine. I did do chemistry, but that didn’t knock my hand off. I may or may not have managed to ingest my own finger while experimenting with edible substances.”

“ Did you immetged a finger in it or something ? “

“It sort of exploded in my face when I added a tiny bit of metal to it. So um. Don’t put tin foil in hydrochloric acid.” Now she’s blatant bullshit lying.

“ And how did you manage to lose it  ? “.

“I underestimated this substance dubbed ‘hydrochloric acid’.” It wasn’t a lie. Not exactly.

“Really ? What were you studyng ? If your research is so important I want to join .”

“Um. It was a trivial experiment. With volume and chemical reactions on this planet. Number crunches led me to 13. So there’s that.” Perfect.

“I was just wondering since you look like a Homworld gem.”

“...I see. I’ll just chalk it up to teleportation. Otherwise, what beef do you have with the Homeworlds?”

She’s just going to stare. The Gem’s seen absolutely everything at this point.

The pegasus looked up at the gem. 

“Yes. Why do you ask? And how are you here on Earth? I feel they’d be a little suspicious by now of a talking winged horse.”

“Yes.      Please put that down.         It’s dangerous for a human like you.             That’s Gem technology.”
