Pearl and Gem were never in love or in a relationship. It's just that their sisters Arieseva and PearlescentMoo were in that relationship that the hermits remember. It is totally not a cover-up and server wide gaslight as they continue on with their love. You would have to be insane to do think otherwise. Moo and Aries think otherwise

Moo and Aries know they're in a relationship. They're very open about it, thank you. However, they also both know their sisters have spent so much time asking about the other that the two have considered charging for consultancy.

Gem and Pearl's saving grace is the fact Aries and Moo think it's so funny the hermits haven't realised, so they're not going to tell them. It's their inside joke. Sure they won't help, but they're not giving up a source of entertainment!

So Gem and Pearl are in a dilemma. Their sisters have been crushing on each other for so long its insane! Gems older sister Aries and Pearls younger sister Moo have had crushes on each other for years basically since they met. The problem is that they think the other doesn't love them like that at all.

It's been a pain for Gem and Pearl, who hear them talk and talk on how they just can't get the other out of their heads. So they decided that enough be enough and they proceeded to plan out this whole date night with Impulse's total agreement to help them out (Impulse stop trying to break out or Gem will stab you where it really hurts)

They hope that they're sisters can finally shut up about the other

(The name of the PearlescentMoo and AriesEva ship is as I call it Meese)

Hilariously, the way Gem and Pearl went about planning the night is to choose things that they hate. Their tastes and their sisters' are the complete opposite! Spicy food, sweet and sour desserts... A date night they'd hate!

They write out notes as invitations from 'their secret admirer', carefully mimicking their sisters' handwriting. And once they're delivered, they've done all they can.

Ironically, in arranging the opposite of their dream date, they found they put together one for them, too! Impulse gets to come along as well, a celebration of a job well done.

Until they wake up tomorrow, and their sisters are rambling excitedly about how incredible their first date was! They really are perfect for each other...

The Sea Cow sounds like a joke... but it isn't. Sister to the Pearlescent Sea Blade and the Dull Ocean Sol the Sea Cow is the youngest of the sisters of the Oyster Isles. It's a Cow like Sea beast with jaws of the Great Hunger. It sinks ships with its vortex and jaws.

Moo is the Sea Cow. She can shift from the ocean beast to her humanoid form with ease. She might be younger than her sisters, but she's just as deadly. Sure, Dull can burn the oceans past boiling, and Pearl can slice ships in half, but Moo loves the taste of a boat.

So when she saw a pirate ship pass by, she went in for the kill. And she tore the ship asunder. When she got her fill, there was little left, so Moo realized.. she doesn't have anything to keep of the wreckage! Then she saw a shape in the water. It was a woman... she looked like fire in the deep sea. That's her trophy now!

Aries woke up in a cave. She remembered being in a cage set to be drowned to death for disobedience when the ship shook and all hell broke loose. The Sea Cow was here. She passed out shortly after she crashed into the water.

Now she's in this cave with a girl staring at her... with lizard skin and Moo horns and parts... the Sea Cow... she's its next meal isn't she

Moo is kind of offended when this woman asks if she plans to eat her. Moo doesn't eat humans on purpose! They're squishy, messy and far too loud. No, she likes the taste of the boats! The wooden hulls, the nails... Humans are just an unfortunate consequence of that! If they just stayed on the land like they're made to, then they wouldn't have that problem! But, Moo also wouldn't get any ships to eat. So she guesses it's a necessary consequence.

So, no, she's not going to eat this woman! She's a trophy, Moo likes remembering the ships she destroys. She excitedly takes the woman on a tour around the cave, pointing out each item for each ship. She hasn't got to show them off before!

Aries has no idea if she should be terrified or into this. She was going to die anyway, so maybe she should count this as a blessing? She never expected the terrifying Sea Cow to be so... Cute?

Look, Moo knows that Pearl might never win, but she doesn't care! Hels, she will drag DullStar (Pearls Hels and older sister) to the event to watch their sister play! One day, though, Moo sees someone else. Dull being the oldest notices immediately. Ooo, it seems like Baby Mooy has a crush.

Aries totally did stare at the most beautiful cow hybrid in the world instead of watching her sister play. PiscesAsa (Gems hels and older sister) notices and is disgusted. That's Moo and her sister Dull. They are the sisters of Pearl, aka the person who can't win.

She doesn't like Dull, especially with her being a fire bird to her water fish.

But Aries isn't listening. She's too trapped in Moos looks. Then she and Moo lock eyes. And it's love at first sight.

After the end of the event they both go to thier sisters... who are best friends.

When they officially meet Pearl, Gem, Pisces, and Dull all look at the two others. Oh God's they are in love

It doesn't take long for the siblings to... Subtly leave Moo and Aries alone. Pisces scowls, but Gem flicks the back of her head and promises to buy her a drink.

Aries and Moo end up chattering excitedly for most of the evening, oblivious to everyone around them. They spend time dancing, they share a drink (and fight over who pays) and they still nearly forget to exchange contact information. Thankfully, Pearl reminds them when she comes to tell them they're heading home.

They stick next to each other until they're forced to part on their separate ways, promising to meet up next MCC.

None of their sisters are convinced they'll manage to wait until then.

You know what? Lemme make a second AriesMoo thing!

So after Aries moved back in, it was kinda boring.. till she got a text from Gem telling her... Moo was moving out of Pearls House for a few days, and she was asking her if she could move in with Aries for a while...

So Moo arrived a few days later and she was very happy to see Aries after a long time (Aries had to self reboot)

And now she's learning even more about Moo! She can bake cookies! That's amazing! She's glad Moo is with her.

first ask

Blatant crush aside, Aries didn't realise how much she missed having someone around. They both have their own space, but it just fills the place with such life. Music playing, the smell of Moo's baking, the clicking of a keyboard... Aries isn't made to be alone, she's learned.

Moo is enjoying the time spent with Aries too! It reminds her of sleepovers she'd have as a child. Lots of girls lying around, gossiping and doing make up on each other. Sometimes kissing.

She's not done the kissing part with Aries yet. She'd like to.

Moo's move out date gets postponed. Then again. Then again. Then they don't even bother to set a new one. Their stock of Cow Cockle grows - carefully tended to be Aries (see, Gem, she's learned a lot!) And now Moo is so at home, what's the point in her moving out? This arrangement works!

(Meanwhile, Pearl and Gem congratulate each other on a step of their plan well executed. Clearly somebody has to make these two realise they're crushing on each other!)

AriesMoo... let's go

Look.. Aries was just helping her sister Gem. She asked her to help around the flower shop in her time with her time here while her apartment got repaired.

You see, a gas leak happened near her apartment complex, so the residents had to move out. Aries moved in with her little sister while repairs were done. And since Gem had a flower shop, Aries helped.

She was at the counter when a woman ran into the shop and up to her and asked if they had any Cow Cockle. Aries told her that while they didn't, some would arrive shortly. They woman handed Aries a note telling her that she wanted them at her house soon and left.

Gem later told her that the woman was named Pearl and that she was the Trash Lady. As for why the Cow Cockle.... she would see as Aries was making the delivery.

When Aries arrived and knocked on the door, a similar yet different woman answered. This lady looked like a cow hybrid and Aries for whatever reason.... got a crush on them. Maybe it was herd instincts being a ram herself or... something else, but this little shorter cow looked so cute.

She introduced herself as Moo Pearls younger sister and let her inside. And she explained why the plants were needed. You see, Moo has a skin condition, and Cow Cockle helps it, but they were out of it for a while and it got bad. Luckily Aries got they plant and Moo so so greatful!

.... God her smile is making Aries shut down

Aries does the smart thing. She gives Moo her number and tells her she can call Aries any time she needs and she'll put it in their order. It's totally not so Moo can text her about any other things, whenever she wants.

Gem, ever the perceptive (and annoying) sister picks up on Aries' crush immediately. She 'mysteriously' disappears to the back of the shop anytime Pearl or, on rare occasions, Moo enters. Aries even delays moving back into her apartment for a little while - just for the chance to see Moo again.

Eventually it grows too hard to put it off any longer. She tells Moo she might not be around at the shop as often. And she asks her out on a date.

It's a blessing she's moving out soon, because Gem's smug 'told you so's at how fast Moo accepted are never ending.
