Peridot and Lapis' children decide to make a band. EPILOGUE.

So this has been gnawing at the back of my head and neck for a few weeks now and i'm finally gonna post it, depending on what you guys think of this extra chapter I may or may not decide to do a series out of Ending Ocean going forward with their children then going back in time during the Jaspis days with BD. Let me know what you think and if that sounds like an interesting idea! Also this is dedicated to everyone who has ever reviewed any of my stories. I hope you enjoy a story fleshed out from weeks of day dreaming in 30 minutes.

-Ed Title is a song by Megadeth

"AM wait up!" the blonde with a stripe of green and blue in her hair tried her best to ignore the voice of her girlfriend as she fast walked to her locker but she knew she would give in sooner or later. "Babe come on!"

"Sorry Centi, just in a shit mood." AM stood for Aqua Marine but she never understood why her parents came up with such a name, what the hell right? Didn't help her but her brother got the name Malachite at least letting him alter his name to Mal. "You ready for tonight though? Hopefully the guys don't think we suck." Centi embraced her girlfriend from behind quickly kissing her cheek.

"Shut up, we're gonna be greater then your mother's at this rate." AM turned and returned the kiss, it was pure dumb luck she was able to find this other girl in her life. Centi, standing a little taller then AM with short spiky white hair to match her out going personality always made her excited. "Your brother gonna actually be on time? Can't start most of our songs without the drummer you know?"

"Aunt Jasper is gonna take him shopping for sticks since Garnet got stuck doing a late shift. But she promised she would record the set for us and have him back in time." AM cheered as the last two members of the band showed up, Shawn and Smoky. Shawn was a boy always in a leather jacket and blue jeans with either a colored shirt or white shirt underneath, Smoky on the other hand loved shorts and refused to not wear an undershirt always prepared before the gig got heated. "Alright guys, tonight is gonna be our night!"

"So how'd you break this pair?" Jasper asked as her and Mal entered the building, the young man sighed:

"Rough housing isn't allowed in the garage anymore is all I have to say."

"Better then fooling around with some girl." Mal groaned and rolled his eyes as Jasper bellowed out a laugh. "Come on, dad jokes are always in."

"Just help me out please aunt Jasp?"

"It's why i'm here nephew." She patted his back as the two got lost in the world of drums.

AM opened the front door to see Peridot napping away on the recliner as Lapis was busy cooking something for her daughter and friends to eat. "I hope you guys love Spaghetti!" she shouted as AM and Centi began to ascend the stairs.

"I'll be down to try some in a minute Blue Mama!" Centi called out before being pulled into her girlfriend's room. "So, care to show me the lyrics for your newest set?" Am handed over the lyrics to which Centi gladly accepted before leaning into her embrace and snuggling her close. "This is quality work here hun, but why so much angst and hurt?.." AM stay quiet for a bit until Centi had finished reading everything.

"I've just gotten into feeling like all of this is becoming nothing but common... I feel like i'm stuck in a rut and nothing is helping me feel like i'm alive other then that cute face of yours." Leaning over AM kissed her girlfriend upside down before returning her hand in her hair. "It's why i'm hoping tonight will be fantastic... Maybe we can come up with a new song by then you know?!" Centi giggled sitting up and kissing AM a few more times.

"There's the girl I fell for, now how's about we go grab some spaghetti?" AM shoved her to the side dashing down the stairs as Centi giggled behind her in hot pursuit! Lapis chuckled to herself as the girls made their plates allowing her to go wake up her wife. Peridot yawned and stretched before walking over and offering Centi a quick hug before joining in eating the delicious meal made by her beautiful wife. "As always Blue Mama this tastes fantastic!"

"Thanks Centi, you always know how to make a woman blush." Lapis replied earning a giggle from the young girl. "Aqua, have you heard from your brother or aunt yet?" AM shook her head knowing better then to answer with her mouth full, Peridot groaned before shooting a test to both of them reminding them not to ruin another gig even if it was in her own garage. "Better then sending Ed with him." Peridot mumbled before attacking her plate as if she hadn't eaten in days.

"Do you think aunt Pearl and Amethyst are gonna come?" AM asked softly looking towards Peri.

"They just may hunny, you know they love their niece almost as much as me and your mother." she responded leaning over and ruffling her daughter's hair only to receive a scowl from her. "Besides, at least Jasper will be here with your brother soon. Gives you enough time to enjoy some alone time with your girlfriend." AM began to cough up her food as Centi dropped her fork turning bright red and hiding her face in her hands.

"H-H-How did you -cough- find -cough- out?!" AM questioned trying to calm herself.

"We're lesbians you know, not idiots." Lapis commented before continuing to eat her food.

"We're actually very happy about it as well, Centi your a great kid and I hope you take care of my daughter!" Peridot smirked before returning to her food as well.

"T-T-Thank you v-very much Green Mama." Centi replied trying to quickly finish her plate as AM looked at all three of them bewildered and appalled by how quickly they were able to return from the comment.

Jasper had a lot of pride in her nephew not only from him taking up the drums, but also the fact that somehow out of the gene pool he was able to become a metal head like herself! As Mal lost himself in the music she had pulled up to a corner where Shawn and Smoky were waiting for them.

"Hey there Ms. Jasper!" Smoky piped up hoping into the back seat with a giant smile as Shawn entered with a 'Yo' before flicking Mal's shoulder causing the boy to growl. "You guys ready to kick some ass tonight!?" Mal and Jasper roared with delight as she punched the gas sending the three flying towards her friend's house. Jasper never sped too fast but she knew better then to be the boring aunt and always drove quickly in the back roads where she was secretly teaching Mal to drive without his parent's knowledge.

"We're almost there Mal, if you want you can pull up into the drive way." Jasper commented earning the grin she loved seeing from her nephew.

"Jasper said to wait outside for something." Peridot said putting her phone in her pocket before helping Lapis with the dishes. "Maybe Mal wants to show off his new sticks?" Lapis giggled before laughing which scared Peridot slightly. "What?!"

"She's probably letting him drive home!" Lapis finished the dishes before drying her hands and laughing as she pulled Peridot out the door. Two minutes passed and the roar of heavy metal blasting was hear and Peridot began to rub her temples knowing that they were going to have to apologize to the neighbors again for the noise. Before she knew it there was Mal slowing down and signaling before turning and pulling into the drive way like a professional! Peridot's jaw dropped as Lapis squealed and jumped for joy as Jasper high fived their son and stepped out of the car with him.

"So mom, and mom... What do you think?" his nervousness was evident on his face but it vanished with pride as the two mother's hugged him tightly with Peridot shouting: "My baby's all grown up!" with tears streaming down her face as Lapis kissed his cheek and told him how proud they both were. "Ok mom you can get off now, your embarrassing me!" he whispered turning red as Peridot and Lapis let go with big smiles. "It's our job kid, you'd best remember that."

Pearl and Amethyst arrived to help set up the equipment before joining Peridot and Lapis in the kitchen for some small talk to kill the time until the guests and friends arrived. Centi ran over a few of the notes that she needed to have recorded and played back at certain times through her keyboard as AM warmed up her voice. Shawn and Smoky tuned their bass and guitar's all the while double checking with Mal to make sure which tuning went with which song. A few classmates had arrived by then and began chatting with each other as Jasper brought the coolers out, one with soda for the kids and one for the adults. The others came out as the sky grew dark and what seemed like the last of the kids had arrived. AM was steadying her breath as Centi shot her a quick wink making her heart soar along with her spirits.

"Thanks for coming out tonight guys, this'll be our first recorded set so I wan't you to go wild alright?!" the crowd cheered and clapped as AM stood tall and strong. "We are Set You Free!" The song began with Shawn on bass and Mal keeping a good tempo on the drums building up the mood and setting pace for Centi and Smoky to come in anytime. AM felt the vibe of the room before rocking back and forth singing:

"I believe I can see the future, Cause I repeat the same routine. I think I used to have a purpose, But then again That might have been a dream. I think I used to have a voice, Now I never make a sound. I just do what I've been told, I really don't want them to come around." Closing her eyes AM smiled brightly before having Centi sing the chorus with her. "Every day is exactly the same! Every day is exactly the same! There is no love here and there is no pain! Every day is exactly the same!" (1) The band was getting cheers and whistles as they continued through the song jamming out hard. Next song was to showcase Mal's drumming skills, started off with his drum pattern and Centi's unorthodox screeching noises getting softer allowing Shawn to come in with the bass. Then at the same time Smoky and AM jumped as the both started together allowing AM to get pumped before going into a shouting fit getting Mal to lose himself in the song.

"All the pigs are all lined up I give you all that you want take the skin and peel it back now doesn't that make you feel better?(2)" At first the crowd thought the song was that short until Mal roared out and brought everyone back in for the second half blasting through it like a locomotive! The crowd was jumping and cheering as the second song ended. AM threw Mal a water bottle before tossing off her sweater and cleaning the sweat from her forehead.

The rest of the songs did wonderful and the recording came out great much to Lapis and Peridot's delight. AM and Centi snuggled together going through the footage and feeling proud of themselves as Smoky and Shawn talked to Jasper and Pearl about equipment and such. Mal rubbed his sister's head before heading off upstairs to shower first. "We were really great huh Centi?" AM asked with her eyes slowly drifting off into sleep.

"Yes we were hun, yes we were." Centi helped AM lean backwards letting her fall asleep on the couch before pulling her keyboard back into her lap and singing softly to herself: "Fragile she doesn't see her beauty she tries to get away. Sometimes it's just that nothing seems worth saving I can't watch her slip away. I won't let you fall apart, I won't let you fall apart, I won't let you fall apart.."(3) With a kiss to her cheek Centi lifted up AM and carried her to her bed to catch up on the sleep she seemed to be needing. "Say Blue Mama can I get a ride home?" Lapis smiled:

"You can stay the night if you want hunny, you'll always be part of this family." Centi smiled brightly before hugging Lapis and running back upstairs to nap with her awesome rock star girlfriend.
