It was then that Peridot and Mercy bumped into two people, everyone going a different direction. One of them, a girl, seemed to be hiding herself in her hood, while the other seemed to have all but one limb as a prosthetic.
Peridot, being smaller than all of them, was knocked down to the ground.
"Hey, watch where you're going!" She said.

"Isn't this better than being a hermit?" Pasta asked. Alex shrugged. "I guess so," she said, but she was actually enjoying the walk. Alex sighed happily, listening to the birds, occasionally whistling back to them. She closed her eyes, a faint smile on her face. The peacefulness was disturbed when two girls bumped into her. The smaller of the two fell to the ground. "Oh, I'm sorry!" Alex cried. As she bent down to help the girl up, she froze. No. Way. "You're... P-Peridot!" Alex stammered. "B-but how... Why? How?!"

Mercy was lost in her thoughts while walking, absentmindedly rubbing her bruised and aching wrist. She wasn't looking forward to seeing Nick.
He might get mad because she insisted on going alone. She adjusted her sunglasses, they were a little loose and kept slipping....*BUMP*
Mercy squeaked, her thoughts interrupted, when she and Peridot ran into two other people, a guy and a girl. The girl was wearing a hood and the guy was wearing a trench coat and cargo pants.
Mercy babbled an apology to the two strangers. "I am so sorry! Are you okay?" Mercy checked her sunglasses, thankfully they hadn't slipped off when they had bumped into each other.
She breathed a small sigh of relief.

"...montigo, baby why don't we go down to Kokomo..." Felix sang quietly to himself as he walked while taking the last few drags off his cigarette and put the cherry out on his tongue before tossing it into the street. He spit the ash out of his mouth and placed his hand behind his head. It had been a bit since he had even gone outside and even longer since had gone for a walk or had any from of exercise. He let out a sign and rubbed his eyes, being awake for a week while pretty much staring a black light most of the time had well more than taken it's tole. After he made his delivery he was gonna stuff himself and pass out for a day or two, depended on how he was feeling. "Wonder if I still have that burrito from..." Felix did get to finish the sentence as he suddenly slammed into someone and he staggered back. "HEY FUCK FACE WATCH WHERE..." He immediately stared to yell before he realized who and what he had just slammed into. He looked down to the small figure and took a moment for what he was seeing to process and looked from the green figure to the girl standing next to her, then realized there was another person in the mix all together. He looked back to the green person with the giant hair he had knocked over before speaking again. "I'm either way to fucking high, or no where near high enough to deal with this." He took a hesitant half step back to prepare himself to book it the other direction should things get weirder than they already are.

Peridot groaned and rolled her eyes.
"Yes, I am indeed the Peridot from the 'Steven Universe' animation, now if you excuse me," Peridot inched around the two, "My compatriot and I are in the middle of something important."
---
I sat down at the curb. I didn't really want Peridot and Mercy to see me like this, tears streaming down my eyes like a coward. I got chewed out by Andy's parents, and they're suing me for $10,000. I decided to just pay up. At this rate everyone I know will be dead and I'll be $1,000 in debt...

Mercy wasn't really focusing on anything. But she slowly followed Peridot around the two strangers, apologizing to them both.
She then noticed someone sitting on the curb, someone familiar...
"Nick!?" Mercy ran over to him. "Whats wrong? Are you alright?"

"Oh, shit," I wiped my eyes on my sleeve, this was the last thing I needed right now... "I'm fine, Mercy...Why are you here, Peridot?" Peridot shuffled her feet.
"I had finished my research, Mercy did whatever she needed to do, we knew where you'd be," She started, "So it would be quickest to meet you here, wouldn't it?" I facepalmed.
"Let's just get back..."

Mercy saw Nick wipe his eyes and was deeply alarmed. Something was wrong. Why was he crying?!
Mercy started to panic. She spoke quickly.
"Nick, why were you crying? Are you alright?! Is Andy alright!?
She grabbed Nicks shirt and stared at his face. "Speak up, Nick! What happened?! Let me help you!!"
Her eyes teared up a little, but since she was wearing sunglasses, he couldn't see it.

"Mercy, not now..." I tried covering my face, "I need some space, okay? And you panicking is not gonna make it any better."

Mercy looked down. "I'm sorry, Nick. But Please tell me what happened."
She grabbed Nicks hand and looked back up quickly "Please let me hel-" She froze. Her sunglasses had slid down her nose, her black eye clearly visible.
She tried to fix it quickly.

Mercy nodded. "Okay, lets just get back to your house, then we'll talk."

"Yo, can I get in on any of this?" Amethyst said, taking a seat next to Pete and swiping a bag of Cheezy Chaps, "Did ya see how I picked up one guy and used him to beat up the other guy?" She pulled out a drone, still functioning but too damaged to even move.
Meanwhile, Pearl was still posing for Fritz.
"Fritz, I am VERY well-versed in humanity's languages," She said.

Eugh, door's still busted. I'm surprised most of my stuff is still here...

Mercy dragged Nick over to the couch. She sat down next to him.
"Okay, tell me EXACTLY what happened at the hospital, Nick. Maybe I can help. After you tell me...I'll explain these."
She took off her sunglasses and looked at Nick, fully exposing her black eye. She also pulled up her sleeve to show her bruised wrist.

"Oh god..." I looked away. I already knew what happened, Mercy didn't need to say a thing. My problems are POULTRY compared to family abuse...but if it makes her feel better.
"I didn't even get to see Andy," I confessed, "Her parents were ready and waiting. They sued me for $10,000, and I can never speak to her again."
