Amethyst Quartz: "I'm glad you could sleep here tonight! We're going to have so much fun. I was thinking we'd read some Sailor Moon, then maybe paint our hooves?"

Eldritch: "Oh, yeah! That sounds cool, we need to do the assignment first though," *shifts nervously* "I mean, if that's okay with you."

Amethyst: "Why wouldn't it be? We're best friends, I'm sure we'll get through the work super fast! Then we can do the fun stuff." *she pulls out her work, and hurriedly starts pulling out pencils and paper* "C'mon!"

*a few hours pass, they finished their assignments and ate dinner, then started reading comics instead*

Eldritch: *sleepily* "Hey Amethyst... Why do you act different at school? You don't have to act like a stuck up snob to have friends. And why don't you tell them you're gay?"

Amethyst: "Oh really?" *snorts* "Look, everyone there would eat us alive if I didn't put them in their place. They already treat me badly because I'm... Chubby. And have two mums. If I told them I liked manga and girls they'd turn on me in an instant."

Eldritch: "Yeah, but you keep dating guys even though you don't like them. Why?"

Amethyst: "Why does it matter? I'm at least trying to get people to think I'm normal. You don't even try to fit in."

Eldritch: *lets out a long yawn* "I do try. I made friends with Nightshade, didn't I? And she's like, a princess."

Amethyst: "Oriana asked you to give her a pencil so she could edit the speech she was giving to the school. Because she was a school guest. And like, an adult and stuff. That doesn't mean you're friends."

Eldritch: "Yeah, well I was the only one who spoke to her that day..." *mumbles, yawns again*

Amethyst: "You're too naive. Being "friends" with her may be a status symbol, but she's not gonna be acquainted with a highschooler. You need to aim for someone more in reach. Like Blueblood's son, or something like that... Are you even listening?"

Eldritch: *snores*

Amethyst: *quietly* "I just want people to leave us alone... I care about you Eldritch."
