Steven? What happened? Amethyst: *happily* WE WON!!! (She surprises Steven as she twirls him around.) (Lion looks at Steven and Amethyst.) Connie: *on the phone* Is that Amethyst? *Lion nudges Steven* Ah... what's going on? [Cut to Connie in her house] You said that there's some kind of giant space hand and you all may die? [Amethyst's screaming is heard through the phone as camera pans back to the Gems] Amethyst: Wooohooo! Ye-he-he-he! *noogies Steven* Steven: Connie! You're not going to believe what happened. Where do I even start?! Amethyst: *off screen* I see you, P! Steven: It's been a madhouse over here. (Lion goes away. Amethyst hugs Pearl over-exaggeratedly) Pearl: Amethyst! That's enough celebrating. (Greg comes to Steven with his van.) Steven: Huh? Greg: *yelling* Steven! Steven: Dad! *to Connie on the phone* Connie I-I have to go. I promise I'll call you back. *hangs up phone* Dad's back! Dad's back! (Steven runs to his dad.) Greg: *running to Steven* Oh! Thank goodness you're okay! *hugs Steven* Mmmmm! I saw the spaceship start to leave and then it crashed so I came back and... ohhh *sees Steven's black eye* your eye... But you're okay! I guess those jerks were no match for the Crystal Gems! Steven: No way, they were super strong! Greg: But you were able to beat them back? Steven: No. They totally stomped us! This warrior, Jasper, was super beefy and knocked me unconscious. Then they abducted me onto the ship because they wanted to take me away forever. And then we crashed the ship and I almost died! Greg: *panicked* What did they want with you? Steven: They think I'm Mom. Greg: *stammering* A-are more Homeworld Gems gonna come after you? Steven: I... uh... I don't know. Maybe? (Greg's face shows he is clearly distraught.) Greg: Steven. I-I'm supportive and very proud of you. And I'll be right back. *runs into his van* Got to calm down. Where's my... *picks up lots of his CDs* Where's my relaxing music CD? *picks one* This one? *puts it in the radio and loud music starts to play* Wrong one! *presses the button for the CD to come back out* Stop! Eject! *punching the radio and trying to relax* (Steven is looking at him and his phone starts to ring. Than he picks it out of his pocket and sees Connie is calling him. He looks at his dad trying to relax while his van crashes down.) (Steven is walking on the beach.) Steven: Now Connie. Please don't freak out. But a giant laser hand tried to steal me into space. But it didn't, it didn't. I'm back and everything is *slowly* fine now. *sees everything broken at the Big Donut and runs away* Um, Connie. Funny story. As it turns out, there's a lot more Gems out there than we thought. And I think they wanna... kill me? Aghhh! Ughhh! *laughs* Hey Connie that... that message I left you was— was just a dream. *laughs* Eh, she's too smart for that. *runs away* Hu, huh, ugh. *tired of walking on the hill and listening to his ringtone* Ughhhh! Huhhh. *looks at broken space ship* Ronaldo: Yooo! Steven: *looks at Ronaldo* Oh! Hey Ronaldo. Ronaldo: Didn't you hear? Mayor Dewey is calling everyone back into the city. We can go home now. *looks at the sky* (Steven looks at him sadly.) Ronaldo: Oh! I see... you come up here to brood too. Steven: Brood? Ronaldo: Yes, Steven. That's just what people like us do. Suffer quietly, shouldering the knowledge no one else can bear. Steven: Hm. Ronaldo: As an aficionado of the weird yourself, you've probably noticed ordinary people fear the cold, leaded anchor of the truth. The abyss is no Sunday swan ride. Steven: I know! My dad flipped out when I told him. Ronaldo: *sternly* Sounds typical. But it's a good reminder. This is no easy path we've chosen here. There are... sacrifices. Look at them all down there, Steven. (Beach City is shown) It's our duty to let those simple people live out their simple lives, without ever knowing the burden of being friends with us. Steven: At least we can be there for each other. Ronaldo: Is that giant hand from the sky sitting right in the middle of the beach?! I gotta get some of this for my blog! (Ronaldo runs off.) (A wave splashes against the hill and Steven starts singing Full Disclosure.) Steven: Everybody told me Gem stuff's dangerous / I guess I didn't believe it / Until now, Dad always seemed apprehensive, / and now he's really freaking out, what do I do? / I don't want that for you. (Steven's phone starts ringing to the song and Steven drops it.) Steven: Everybody tells me life is precious on the planet Earth, / and that means you, and I have to protect you. / What if somehow you get hurt? What do I do? / I don't want that for you. (Steven's phone starts ringing again and Steven drops it again.) Steven: Oooooooo, ooooooooo, ooooooooo, ooooooo... [Flashbacks to "The Return" and "Jail Break" start playing] What am I gonna tell you? / You're better off not knowing the trouble I'm in, / I don't want you to worry, about what I've just seen, about where I've just been. / You don't have to be a part of this, / I don't think I want you to be. / You don't need this. / You don't need me... (Steven's phone starts ringing again.) Steven: Ooooooooo, ooooooooooo, ooooooooo. (Flashbacks end and he looks at the sky.) Ooooooooo, *looks at his phone* oooooooo, *picks it up and looks at the Gem Warship* oooooooooo, *looks at the phone again* oooooooo, ooooo. (The song ends and so does the phone ringing. Steven hangs up the phone and goes to the Beach House.) [Trans. Int. Beach House.] Amethyst: Oh, come on. Garnet: No whining. We need to start cleaning up debris. Pearl: Garnet's right. People are already coming back into town. Steven: We've got to keep them off the beach. If any humans got access to gem technology, they could really hurt themselves. Maybe we should shut them out. For good. Pearl: You know... we did once have a fence. Let's get a new one. With barbed wire! Amethyst: This time let's build a moat. I could be... *shapeshifts her head into a crocodile* the crocodile! *does jazz hands* Jazz hands. (Pearl looks away.) Garnet: No. Amethyst: Why not? Pearl: You always say you'll be the crocodile, but you never commit! (Amethyst shapeshifts her head back to normal while Pearl is talking.) Garnet: No fence either. Pearl and Amethyst: Garnet! Garnet: Steven needs to see his father and his friends. Steven: No, I don't! I can't keep clinging to the vestiges of my humanity. It's time I got serious. (His phone starts ringing, Steven cringes and moans.) Pearl: Steven? Why is your communication device making that sound? Steven: It's Connie, trying to call me, but I can't face her anymore. (Amethyst looks through the window.) Pearl: So you're just going to ignore her, forever? Steven: It's the responsible thing to do. Amethyst: It's gonna be hard, 'cause she's coming up the steps right now. Steven: What?! (Connie knocks on the door and Pearl opens it.) Pearl: Oh! Hello, Connie... Connie: Is Steven home? (Steven sneaks out the window.) Pearl: Nooo... Connie: Is he okay? I'm just really worried. He hasn't been answering his phone. What's going on? Pearl: Uh... I- I don't know. I don't understand your human relationships. So... uhm... goodbye! (Pearl closes the door and Connie moans, then she sees Steven.) Connie: Steven! (Steven is running and panting.) Connie: Steven! (Steven runs into a corridor of the Gem Warship, then Connie does the same. Steven hides behind a piece of the thumb.) Connie: Steven! Steven? Are you in trouble? Is something wrong? Did I do something wrong? (Steven moans.) Connie: Why are you avoiding me? (Steven moans again.) Connie: Uuuuuhh *takes out her phone and dials Steven's number* (Steven's ringtone plays but Steven immediately hangs up the phone.) Connie: Steven, I know you're here! Why are you hiding from me? (Steven breathes deeply and texts Connie.) Connie: *reads from her phone* I don't wanna be friends anymore. *dials Steven* (The ringtone plays and Steven picks up.) Connie: Steven? Steven: I can't be with you anymore, I have a destiny. Connie: Say it to my face! Say you don't want to be friends anymore! If you can do that - If you can do that, I'll leave you alone. And I'll just go back to having no friends. But I won't believe it until you say it to my face! (Connie gasps as Steven is climbing up the thumb. Steven grunts, then jumps down.) Connie: Well? Steven: *crying* I still wanna be friends! Connie: *gasps* Steven, your eye! What happened to you? Steven: I didn't want you to worry about it. Connie: I've been worried sick all day, what do you think I'm doing here? Steven: I just wanted to protect you. Connie: Stop. Just tell me everything. Steven: *snivels* [Time Skip—later that day] (Steven and Connie are sitting on the beach.) Connie: So, Lapis and Jasper are somewhere underwater. Steven: Yeah, and... Peridot escaped while the ship was coming down. She could be anywhere. Connie: That is a lot to take in. Steven: Are you okay? Connie: Are you okay? You're the one that's been through everything. The least I could do is just listen. Steven: I can't ask you to do that. Connie: I want to, Steven. I want to be a part of your universe. (Greg comes driving in his van.) Greg: Kiddo! There you are! Oh hey Connie, do you need a ride home? Steven: Oh, Dad, are you doing okay? Greg: I got it out of my system. I'm back to being your cool dad. (Greg's Van is shown driving through parts of Beach City showing the townsfolk with Connie, Steven, and Greg in it.)
