Steven: ♪ and if you think we can't

♪ we'll always find a way

♪ that's why the people

♪ believe in

♪ Garnet

Amethyst: ♪ Amethyst

Pearl: ♪ and Pearl

and Steven!

That could have gone...

A lot worse.

Could have gone a lot better, too.

Connie: Steven, I got your message.

Steven?

What happened?!

We won!

[ Laughs ] Wuhhhhhh!

Is that Amethyst?

[ Purrs ]

Uh, what -- what's going on?

You said there's some kind of giant space hand

and you all might die?

Amethyst: Whoo-hoo!

Yeh-heh-heah!

Connie! You're not going to believe what happened!

[ Grunts ] Where do I even start?

Whooooo! It's been a madhouse over here!

Pearl: Amethyst! That's enough celebrating!

[ Horn honking ] Huh?

Steven!

Dad!

Connie, I have to go. I promise I'll call you back.

Dad's back! Dad's back!

Oh! Thank goodness! You're okay!

[ Both grunt ]

I saw the spaceship start to leave,

and then it crashed, and I came back, and --

uggggh! Your eye.

But you're okay!

I guess those jerks were no match for The Crystal Gems.

No way! They were superstrong!

But you were able to beat them back?

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!

What did they want with you?

They think I'm mom.

A-are more homeworld gems gonna come after you?

I -- uh...

I don't know. Maybe?

Steven, I'm supportive and very proud of you,

and I'll be right back.

[ Panting ]

Got to calm down.

Where's my --

where's my relaxing-music cd?!

This one?

[ Heavy metal plays ]

Wrong one!

Stop! Eject!

[ Music continues ] [ Breathing heavily ]

[ Cellphone buzzing, ringtone playing ]

[ Volume increases ]

[ Rumbling ]

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 f-fine...Now.

[ Cellphone buzzing, ringtone playing ]

Uh... [ Chuckles nervously ]

Um, Connie, funny story -- as it turns out,

there's a lot more gems out there than we thought,

[ buzzing, ringtone stop ] And I think they want to... Kill me?

Uhhhhh!

[ Bird squawking ]

[ Cellphone buzzing, ringtone playing ] Uhh!

[ Chuckles nervously ]

Hey, Connie, that -- that message I left you

was -- was just a dream.

[ Chuckles ]

Eh, she's too smart for that.

[ Buzzing, ringtone continue ] [ Panting ]

[ Groans ]

[ Buzzing, ringtone continue ]

[ Sighs deeply ]

[ Buzzing, ringtone stop ]

Yo!

Oh. Hey, Ronaldo.

Didn't you hear?

Mayor Dewey's calling everyone back into the city.

We can go home now.

Oh. I see.

You come up here to brood, too!

Brood?

Yes, Steven.

That's just what people like us do --

suffer quietly,

shouldering the knowledge no one else can bear.

Hmph.

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.

I know! My dad flipped out when I told him!

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.

It's our duty to let those simple people

live out their simple lives

without ever knowing the burden of being friends with us.

At least we can be there for each other.

Is that giant hand from the sky

sitting right in the middle of the beach?!

I got to get some of this for my blog!

[ Wind blowing ]

Aww, come on!

No whining. We need to start cleaning up the debris.

Garnet's right.

People are already coming back into town.

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.

You know, we did once have a fence.

Let's get a new one -- with barbed wire!

This time, let's build a moat.

I could be...

♪ The crocodile!

Jazz hands.

No.

Why not?!

You always say you'll be the crocodile,

but you never commit.

No fence, either.

Both: Garnet!

Steven needs to see his father and his friends.

No, I don't!

I can't keep clinging to the vestiges of my humanity.

It's time I got serious.

[ Cellphone buzzing, ringtone playing ] Aaaaaehhhhh!

Steven, why is your communication device

playing that song?

It's Connie trying to call me.

But I can't face her anymore.

So...You're just going to ignore her forever?

It's the responsible thing to do.

That's gonna be hard,

'cause she's coming up the steps right now.

What?!

Ohhh!

Hello...Connie.

Is Steven home?

No. [ Grunts ]

Is he okay? I'm just really worried.

He hasn't been answering his phone.

What's going on?

Uhh...

I-I don't know.

I don't understand your human relationships.

So...Um...

Goodbye.

[ Whimpers ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Panting ] Steven!

Steven!!

[ Panting echoes ]

Steven?

[ Wheezing ]

Steven!

[ Sighs ]

Are you in trouble?

Is something wrong?

Did i do something wrong?

[ Groans ]

Why are you avoiding me?

[ Groans heavily ]

[ Whimpers ]

[ Speed-dialing ]

[ Cellphone buzzing, ringtone playing ]

[ Cellphone beeps, buzzing, ringtone stop ]

Steven, I know you're here!

Why are you hiding from me?!

[ Inhales deeply ]

[ Cellphone chimes ]

"I don't want to be friends anymore"?

[ Sniffles ]

[ Speed-dialing ]

[ Cellphone buzzing, ringtone playing ]

[ Cellphone beeps ]

Steven?

I can't be with you anymore.

I have a destiny.

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.

[ Metal clatters ] [ Gasps ]

[ Straining ]

[ Grunts ]

Well?!

[ Sobbing ]

I still want to be friends!

[ Gasps ]

Steven, your eye!

What happened to you?

I didn't want you to worry about it.

I've been worried sick all day.

What do you think I'm doing here?

I just wanted to protect you.

Stop.

Just tell me everything.

[ Sniffles ]

So...Lapis and Jasper are somewhere underwater.

Yeah. And Peridot escaped while the ship was coming down.

She could be anywhere.

That is a lot to take in.

Are you okay?

Are yokay?

You're the one that's been through everything.

The least I could do is just listen.

I can't ask you to do that.

I want to, Steven.

I want to be a part of your Universe.

[ Vehicle approaches ]

Kiddo! There you are.

Oh, hey, Connie. Do you need a ride home?

Oh. Dad.

Are you doing okay?

I got it out of my system.

I'm back to being your cool dad.
