Dialogue
|
Zooming into Pink Diamond's palace, Steven Universe looks at the view before walking through the room.
|
Steven
|
Hello? ... Must be Pink's room? I need a bed.
|
Steven lies down, only to have the floor activate under him.
|
Steven
|
What?
|
Steven sees Pebbles, which disappear once spotted.
|
Steven
|
Well, I need a place to sit.
|
The floor activates and creates a seat for Steven.
|
Steven gasps as he sees the tiny pebbles running out of sight.
|
Steven
|
Hmm. I need a shelf for my face, face, face, face, face.
|
The wall activates and creates a shelf for his face. Steven slides his face through the shelf.
|
Steven
|
Hey! Who the heck are you little guys?
|
The pebbles scramble away from Steven.
|
Steven
|
Ahh... Thank you!
|
The pebbles stop with shock and look at him.
|
Pebble #1
|
"Thank you?"
|
Pebble #2
|
Is it...
|
Pebble #3
|
It is her!
|
Pebble #3 jumps on Steven's face while laughing as the rest of the pebbles do the same.
|
Pebble #4
|
Why does she look different?
|
Pebble #5
|
-She's back!
|
The wall activates and a little pebble appears looking at Steven's stomach region.
|
Pebble #5
|
Pinkie time! She's back! Our diamond -- Pink, Pink!
|
Steven falls onto the floor laughing with all the pebble crawling all over him.
|
Steven
|
Don't -- don't build stuff in my mouth.
|
Steven spits out a tiny house and a pebble out of his mouth, laughing.
|
Steven
|
All right, who are you guys?
|
Pebble #3
|
Very funny, Pink!
|
The floor activates next to Steven's right foot.
|
Pebble #7
|
Always playing her games. Pretending she doesn't know us pebbles.
|
Pebble #7 jumps into Steven's back pocket and takes their own picture. Steven smiles at them. The door to the room opens with Pearl standing through the doorway.
|
Steven
|
-Pearl!
|
Pearl
|
-Steven!
|
Pearl runs over to Steven and hugs him.
|
Pearl
|
Oh, thank the stars! You're okay! What did White Diamond do? Did she hurt you?!
|
Steven
|
No, she was like, "Welcome home." I don't think she understands that I'm not Pink Diamond. Where's Connie? And Garnet and Amethyst?
|
Pearl gets up and summons a bag.
|
Pearl
|
They're still on the ship. I'm only here because I'm bringing your things. And they consider me one of your things.
|
Steven
|
Yeesh.
|
The Diamond Chime starts playing.
|
Pearl
|
The Diamond Chime -- it's Yellow.
|
The door activates behind Pearl with Yellow Pearl standing there. Yellow Pearl does the Diamond symbol.
|
Yellow Pearl
|
Pink Diamond, my Diamond has requested your presence in the extraction chamber.
|
Pearl looks at Steven and starts opening the bag.
|
Pearl
|
Let's get you into a suit.
|
Scene cuts to Steven, Pearl, and Yellow Pearl walking through a yellow hallway. Steven is wearing a yellow swimsuit
|
Steven
|
Swim trunks don't seem very formal.
|
Pearl
|
Trust me, this will be more comfortable than jeans.
|
Steven looks at the figures of the wall whispering indistinctively to each other. Once the figures see that Steven is staring at them, they quickly go back to their neutral position.
|
Steven
|
Hello!
|
One figure of the wall blushes in embarrassment. Steven starts walking away. Yellow Pearl, Pearl, and Steven stop in front of a Yellow huge door guarded by two topazes.
|
Yellow Pearl
|
Pink Diamond.
|
Steven
|
Please, call me Steven.
|
Yellow Pearl
|
Pink Steven.
|
Steven
|
No, just Steven.
|
Yellow Pearl
|
Just Steven.
|
Steven
|
Call me... Lasagna.
|
Pearl
|
Steven, stop. You're going to break her.
|
Pearl opens the yellow door.
|
Yellow Pearl
|
Have a nice extraction, Pink Lasagna.
|
Steven walks in. Yellow Diamond is seen.
|
Yellow Diamond
|
Pink.
|
Steven
|
Hi, Yellow. Cool sauna.
|
Yellow Diamond
|
It's new. Have a seat.
|
Steven uses his floating powers to jump up and take a seat.
|
Yellow Diamond
|
So, you met with White. How was it?
|
Steven
|
All I got to say was, "Hi," and, "um," and, "I."
|
Yellow Diamond
|
Two and a half words -- that's a record.
|
Steven
|
Two and a half words isn't enough. I still need to talk to White about healing all the corrupted Gems!
|
Yellow Diamond
|
Hmm. Good luck. White never leaves her own head these days, and she never lets anyone in -- except you, I guess. It's so unfair. I have hundreds of successful crystal system colonies, but you get to see her because your one colony is a failure!
|
Steven
|
Maybe you should just... fail?
|
Yellow Diamond starts laughing.
|
Yellow Diamond
|
Oh, Pink, you always did have quite a knack for making me laugh. You're almost worth the trouble.
|
Steven groans. The Diamond Chime starts playing again.
|
Yellow Diamond
|
Already? Excuse me.
|
Yellow Diamond starts draining all the water from her form.
|
Yellow Diamond
|
I've got to check on the latest Citrine production reports.
|
Steven
|
What should I do about White? I still need to talk to her about helping the corrupted Gems.
|
The Diamond Chime plays.
|
Blue Pearl
|
Pink Diamond, my Diamond has requested your presence.
|
Steven, Pearl, and Blue Pearl are seen walking down a blue hallway.
|
Steven
|
We barely talked about White at all. She had to rush to do a report, and I couldn't go with her. I get they're, like, busy, 'cause they're dictators and everything, but I need more time! **Gasps and facepalms** I should have asked her what she was doing after the Citron thing!
|
Pearl
|
She'll be at that for a while. Yellow Diamond oversees all aspects of Gem production on every single one of her colonies. And when she's not doing that, she's off with her army, conquering the next one.
|
Steven
|
What about their days off, weekends?
|
Blue Pearl
|
My Diamond is awaiting our arrival.
|
Blue Pearl, Steven, and Pearl walk towards the door as Blue Pearl activates it. Steven sees a figure on the wall blinking its eye. They then proceed to walk inside the room.
|
Pearl
|
Blue Diamond is just up the stairs. I'll wait for you here.
|
Steven runs up to the stairs.
|
Steven
|
-I'll be back in a bit!
|
Blue Pearl turns to Pearl.
|
Blue Pearl
|
Welcome back.
|
Steven jumps up the stairs and sees Blue Diamond brushing her hair with Comby.
|
Comby
|
- ♪ You'll never be alone-y as long as you are combing ♪ -
|
Blue Diamond sighs. She then looks to see Steven standing in front of her.
|
Blue Diamond
|
**Gasps** You're here!
|
Blue Diamond gently drops Comby into the cup.
|
Blue Diamond
|
Come in!
|
Steven
|
Okay.
|
Steven runs and jumps into the pool, laughing.
|
Steven
|
Whoo-hoo! **Laughing** It's funny! I -- I live right next to the ocean, but I end up going to space to swim.
|
Blue Diamond laughs, this causes the pool to shake a bit.
|
Blue Diamond
|
You haven't changed. So silly. So small.
|
Steven
|
I'm not done growing. I'm not sure I can catch up to you and Yellow, though.
|
Blue Diamond
|
I'm so glad you're back... Steven.
|
Steven
|
Y-You actually said my name!
|
Blue Diamond
|
Steven. Steee-von? **Chuckles** It's such a funny sounding name. You're so creative, Pink. Remember when I let you name that batch of Pyrite "Fools Gold?" **Laughing** White was furious!
|
Steven
|
I'm sorry. I don't remember.
|
Blue Diamond
|
Oh. Do you remember the game we used to play here?
|
Steven shakes his head.
|
Blue Diamond
|
We had such fun together -- You and I and Yellow and White.
|
Steven
|
We were all together here?!
|
Blue Diamond
|
You would stand underwater, all the way at the bottom, and sing. And we would be above the surface trying to guess the song.
|
Steven
|
Can we do that right now? Maybe after, we can talk White into coming back to Earth with us.
|
Blue Diamond
|
No. We stopped coming here together after you left. That was the start of Era 2. No one wanted to be here -- not with your empty spot. **Tears up** It was so quiet.
|
Steven wipes away his tear.
|
Steven
|
I know you guys have colony stuff to do, but we should spend more time together.
|
Steven stands up. The Diamond Chime begins to play.
|
Blue Pearl
|
**Clears throat** My apologies, my Diamond, but your next appointment.
|
Blue Diamond
|
**Sighs** -Of course.
|
Steven
|
Wait! I wanted to talk to you about White.
|
Blue Diamond
|
Later, perhaps.
|
Blue Diamond climbs out of the pool and the water drains out from the pool, leaving Steven flat on his stomach.
|
Steven
|
Pearl?
|
Pearl walks over to see Steven.
|
Pearl
|
Steven?
|
Steven
|
Some water got up my nose.
|
Pearl
|
Oh, dear.
|
Pearl starts taking a long purple object out of her gem.
|
Scene cuts to where Steven is patting water out his ear.
|
Steven
|
**Sighs** This is so weird. Was this some sort of spa day or something? And what about Pink? Did she have a job here, or did she just sit in a room while they were off doing whatever?
|
Pearl
|
Before her colony, Pink used to throw massive balls.
|
Steven
|
She was a juggler?!
|
Pearl
|
No -- Well, yes. But she would also throw parties for the other Diamonds to mark their many accomplishments. Every member of every court would show up to bask in the presence of all four Diamonds.
|
Steven
|
Even White would come?
|
Pearl
|
Oh, yes! Huh. I wonder what's even become of Pink's court. **Gasps** That reminds me. Hang tight. I'll be back.
|
Pearl walks out the door.
|
Steven
|
Where would I even... go?
|
Steven
|
What did I get myself into?
|
Steven falls stomach down onto the floor. The floor activates under him and a bunch of pebbles climb on top of him.
|
Steven
|
Am I just supposed to be Pink Diamond now? Hey, pebbles, can you help me? Who was she? What did she do? And why does this feel so...
|
The song "Familiar" Starts playing.
|
The song "Familiar" ends.
|
The door opens to see Pearl running in the room.
|
Pearl
|
Steven! I'm back with --
|
Steven
|
Hi, Pearl. I just thought I'd, uh, dress for the occasion.
|
Pearl
|
**Chuckles** Well... you're not the only one with surprises.
|
Pearl summons Garnet, Connie, and Amethyst out of her gem.
|
Steven
|
Guys!
|
Steven runs up to them and hugs them.
|
Steven
|
Mmm! I figured it out! Remember back when I was little and maybe kind of annoying, and I couldn't come along on adventures? You guys would still drop everything to hang out with me! That's Pink Diamond! I know I can do this! Just watch -- I'm gonna throw a huge ball, and I'm gonna invite everyone!
