You have to love if you have to care. I know that. But what I meant was, just because she saved her, she automatically have romantic feelings for her? Just because of simply saving one another, there's automatically romance? Just because of that?

Of course! *giggles* If someone saves someone else, that doesn't mean that they love eachother in a romantic way. I know that. That is a common miscoception about Amedot. Let's look at some things here. At this point in time (after "Too Far"), most people would've agreed that Peridot would've been happy to see the Crystal Gems die. They chained her to a fence, went against everything she's ever known, and locked her in a bubbled. Steven may have been an exception, but we don't really know. But she risked her life to save Amethyst's, and she's not that kind of character who would do that, to be honest. While I love her, she can be selfish and nasty.

And what about the aftermath of the drill situation? Of course, that doesn't really say much about how the two characters feel towards eachother, but instead it is something also very important: foreshadowing. If Peridot had landed next to Amethyst, the same things would have happened. Practically nothing would have changed. But the writers chose to have Peridot fall on top of Amethyst, gazing into eachother's eyes for a few moments, shading and all. I honestly can't see any of that go to waste. That's not something the Crewniverse would do.

And now I will wait patiently for Amedot to become canon.
