When It Rains/Transcript

* knocks on bathroom door*

Garnet: Open the door, Peridot! If this Cluster is putting us in danger, you need to tell us what it is so we can stop it.

Peridot: NO! I hate you. I'm not telling you anything about the Cluster.

Amethyst: Oh, come on! Is it like a big, hunk of granola?

Peridot: What's granola?

Pearl: I'm sure it's not granola. Now Peridot, I'm sure we can reach some sort of agreement. Perhaps a trade is in order?

Peridot: Oh sure, why don't you just give me back my leg enhancments and my arm attachments with my screen and my log-in and all my information! Oh wait, YOU DESTROYED THEM! So no, I DON'T THINK WE CAN REACH SOME SORT OF AGREEMENT!

Crystal Gems: *collective groan*

* flush*

Steven: Ok Peridot, you can turn around now.

Steven: *clears throat* Sorry for, interrupting your interrogation.

Garnet: Don't worry about it Steven.

Pearl: I swear PERIDOT IS GONNA CRACK ANY SECOND NOW!

Peridot: I'll never crack for the likes of you, you...... CRYSTAL CLODS! *laughter*

Pearl: *growls* I GOT YOUR CLODS RIGHT HERE YOU LITTLE-

Garnet: Hold on Pearl, she's not gonna give any help, lets investigate this thing on our own.

Steven: I'll come with you!

Garnet: Sorry Steven, we're gonna need you to stay here and keep and eye on our...... guest.

Steven: Really!

Amethyst: Yeah! Make sure she doesn't, "try" anything.

Pearl: Don't worry, she's harmless without her limb enhancers.

Peridot: I'M NOT HARMLESS!

Pearl: OH HUSH UP!

Garnet:Oh! Steven, there's one more thing I have to mention.

Steven: What is it?

* Garnet forms a heart shape with her hands*

Garnet: I love you. Bye!

Amethyst: See ya later!

* Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl all warp through the warp pad)

* thunder*

Steven: They left, you know. You can come out now.

Peridot: No! I... I like it in here!

Steven: Okay.

* Steven continues preparing his food, and looks out the window to notice the heavy storm*

Steven: *smiles* Wow, it's really coming down.

* Thunder strikes, Peridot kicks the bathroom door open and runs out, accidentally hitting a wall*

Peridot: It's happening!

Steven: What?!?

Peridot: THE CLUSTER!

Steven: REALLY!?!

Peridot: What else could be making that horrible-

* thunder*

Peridot: AHHHHH! It's heading for the inside! This is it, THE END OF THE WORLD! *cries and wimpers*

Steven: Oh, that's just thunder!

Peridot: What?

Steven: Yeah, everything is fine, it's just thunder. It happens when it rains.

Peridot: Uh huh.

* pouring rain*

Steven: You don't know about rain?

Peridot: I don't know anything without my screen.

Steven: I-It's ok. Here pretend this soup is the ocean. When the sun warms it up, water evaporates into clouds, like this steam. But when the clouds get really heavy, it rains.

Peridot: So scalding liquid pours down form the sky?

Steven: No, no i-it's just water, it can't hurt you. Here why don't I just show you.

* Steven runs outside and into rain*

Steven: Woo-hoo!

Peridot: Steven, wait! Ummm Uhhmmm?.............

Steven: COME ON! *laughs* Look I'm ok, it's just water! This is just something that happens on Earth! Isn't it cool?! *laughs* WOOOAAAHHH! BWAH! *laughs* YEAH! WWHHHOOOOHHHHHOOOO!

* Peridot reaches her hand out into rain, but pulls back when hit by a rain drop, then tries again and steps into rain*

Steven: YEAH YOU DID IT! What do you think? Isn't it cool? *laughs*

Peridot: Cool.

Steven: That was fun. Huh?

Peridot: It was... Something. Hmmm ehhh hmmm. Steven?

Steven: Hm?

Peridot: I'm going to say something. *Takes a deep breath* Thank you.

Steven: Uhh, what for?

Peridot: For explaining this "rain" business to me.

Steven: Oh, no problem. *giggles*

Peridot: Yes, you're a much more intelligent creature than I initially thought.

Steven: Um, that's... good.

Peridot: Yes, much more useful than those... clods. STEVEN! I've made up my mind.

Steven: About what exactly?

Peridot: I decided to share some infomation! With you!

Steven: Aww I know you use my tooth brush.

Peridot: N-n no. Well yes, but it's about the Cluster.

Steven: *Gasp* You cracked!

Peridot: I haven't cracked!

Steven: Wait you have to tell the Crystal Gems, they need to know this.

Peridot: No! I don't want to talk with them! Your the only one I need! I can show you now, I have nothing! My arm attachments, my fingers, my screen, my logs all gooone! But my log updates up to 652 still exist. Backed up in facet five of the prime Kindergarten!

Steven: You want me to take you to the Kindergarten? I don't know.

Peridot: Steven don't you want to know about the Cluster?

Steven: Hmm ook. We can go to the Kindergarten.

Peridot: ahh eee YES!

Steven: buut.

Peridot: No. A catch. Fine! What are your demands!

Steven: You're going to have to hold my hand the whole time. *Steven giggles*

(Peridot places her hand on the structure in the center. The structure begins to glow and a plethora of Gem Shards are shown on Facet Five's screens.)

Peridot: These are the early attempts at artificial fusion.

Steven: *looks around* That's a lot of Gem Shards...

Peridot: We were growing them here at this very site, but these were just prototypes for the final product.

(Facet Five's screen projects a globe, a marker displayed around North America.)

Peridot: A singular, giant, artificial fusion, comprised of millions of Gem Shards. The Cluster.

Steven: *seemingly tense* Peridot, you're saying... there's a giant, mutant Gem the size of the Earth under us right now?

Peridot: *closes eyes and raises hand in rejection* Oh, no, when it forms, it'll be much, much bigger than the Earth. Right now, it lies dormant, incubating in the Earth's core, but when it emerges and takes its physical form, it will destroy the planet.

(The Earth is shown to grow large and pop, the Cluster forming its physical form. Steven stares at it with great concern.)

Peridot: The prototypes are already emerging. The Cluster is next. If we can't get off this planet, we've got to stop the Cluster. *clenches fist*

(Steven starts sweating.)

Peridot: *closes eyes and points matter-of-factly* I thought it'd be impossible, but now we have a chance.

Steven: What is it?

Peridot: *grabs Steven's shoulders and grins* It's you, Steven!

* Peridot and Steven go out of the Facet Five to the Kindergarten*

Peridot: Now that you're filled in, we can get to work!

Steven: Uhh, how am I supposed to help?

Peridot: Well, you have all the information that we need about earth and it's erratic behavior. Put that together with my expansive knowledge of the cluster and we just might be able to stop it!

Steven: No Peridot, I don't think you get it! Just because I know how clouds work doesn't mean I know how to stop a giant mutant in the center of the earth! Besides, the only reason that I know anything about clouds and rain is because my dad told me.

Peridot: What are you talking about?

Steven: I used to be really scared of thunderstorms, Just like you. Then dad explained how rain and all that stuff works, then I wasn't scared of rain anymore.

Peridot: Well I'm sure you have other knowledge about how this planet works.

Steven: Sure, but none of it's going to help us! If we want to stop this cluster thing, we'll need help from the crystal gems.

Peridot: I said I don't need them! Lets just warp me back to the bathroom or whatever you call it and take care of this. If it looks really bad, then we can just ask this dad, for help, right?
