Whoo-hoo! Jam buds!

Nice jam session.

Don't forget the best part.

[ Seagulls calling ] Uh...

[ Seagulls screech ] [ Shouts ]

Hyah!

Hyah! Hyah!

Run back to your masters!

Tell them we're not afraid of your kind!

[ Laughs ] Thanks for saving my jam snack.

Unfortunately, it's not safe from me. [ Munch! ]

[ Muffled ] You're such a good sword fighter, Connie.

Really? I was just swinging this thing around.

I don't really know what I'm doing.

But I'd love to learn how to use a real sword.

Oh! Steven has an idea!

You want me to do what?

You should train Connie to sword fight.

She's already so good. Steven!

But you are. Y-you helped me fight the robot floaty thing,

she took down that evil clone of herself,

uh...Those mean seagulls just now.

You're awfully young to begin something like this.

But I suppose I was only a few thousand years old

when I begin fighting alongside Rose Quartz.

Yes, Connie?

Please, I want to learn.

I mean, I don't know what will happen in the future.

But if something dangerous comes along,

I don't want to be a burden. I want to help!

I want to be there for Steven, to fight by his side!

The earth is my home, too. Can't I help protect it?

O-okay.

If that's how you feel, we should get started.

Woo-hoo! [ Laughs ]

Wait, now?

[ Energy buzzes ]

[ Grunts, laughs ]

You okay?

It can take some getting used to.

Whoo! [ Laughs ]

Hey, you two. This way.

Race you.

[ Laughter ]

Whoa.

This is an ancient sky arena, Connie,

where some of the first battles for earth took place.

It was here that I became familiar with

the human concept of being a knight,

completely dedicated to a person and a cause.

This is what you must become, Connie --

brave, selfless, loyal -- a knight.

We begin with a bow. First to me, your teacher.

And now again to your liege.

Okay. My liege.

Miss knight.

[ Both chuckle ]

I hope you two are taking this seriously.

Yes, ma'am. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Cool. Hologram Pearl.

To begin, this holo-Pearl will be your opponent.

Level 0, beginner set.

Do you wish to engage in combat?

Yes!

Steven? Hmm?

Oh! Um, I'm sorry.

Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. [ Chuckles nervously ]

Reflex.

Uh, you just be careful, and I will go over here.

All right. Everything begins with your stance.

Remember... ♪ you do it for him

♪ keep your eyes on me

Connie! Hey, Steven.

Connie, wait. Hmm?

Ah, right on time.

Can we talk for a moment?

Sure. What's up?

We have important training to do, Connie.

Yes, ma'am.

She's been making great strides, Steven.

She's going to be an asset to you. Hmph.

[ Energy buzzes ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Laughs ] Wow, Garnet.

That was the funniest thing I've ever heard.

Garnet, master of comedy.

[ Laughs ] Yo, Steven.

Why are you standing there all sad like that?!

W-well, Connie is taking sword-fighting lessons

from Pearl.

But I think it's getting a little too serious.

She wants Connie to do all this dangerous stuff for me.

That makes sense.

What do you mean?

Back during the war, Pearl took pride

in risking her destruction for your mother.

She put Rose Quartz over everything --

over logic, over consequence, over her own life.

Hyah!

You okay, dude?

I have to do something!

Thanks for telling me that! Bye!

[ Breathing heavily ] Remember, Connie.

In the heat of battle, Steven is what matters.

You don't matter.

I don't matter. Huh?

Now, let us begin!

Connie? [ Swords clanging in distance ]

Connie, where are you?

[ Shouting in distance ]

Connie!

[ Chuckles nervously ]

You wouldn't have happened to see Connie, would you?

Unregistered combatant detected.

[ Gasps ] Connie!

Steven? What are you doing out here?

Connie, I don't want you to do this anymore -- not alone.

No, Steven. I understand now.

Your legacy, your destiny -- you are everything!

And I -- I am nothing.

But I can do this for you. I can give you my service.

No! I don't want you to.

Steven, I'm doing this for you!

Hyah!

I need to be able to protect you.

But if you're the one protecting me,

then who's the one protecting you?

Someday soon, we may be fighting some really bad guys.

And when that day comes, I want to fight with you, together.

So, please, won't you share this jam with me?

This is much easier.

That's the idea.

No matter what comes, we do this together!

Pearl: Steven!

Steven, don't interfere. She needs to take me on herself.

Why? We're a team.

She's the strawberry... ...And he's the biscuit!

And that makes us jam... Buds!

Wha...?

[ Both shouting ]

[ Gasps ]

Hyah!

[ Shouts ]

Enough!

[ Grunts ]

[ Breathing heavily ] No!

In a real battle, Steven won't be there to save you!

Yes, I will!

Steven, you don't know that.

Yes, I do!

If Connie is going to fight, we're going to fight together!

That's right!

You shouldn't be anywhere near the fight!

You're too important!

I am not! Yes, you are!

No!

Why won't you just let me do this for you, Rose!?

[ Gasps ]

I...I mean... Let her do this.

Why won't you let Connie do this for you?

[ Sword clatters ]

That's enough for today.

Hey, Pearl...

I didn't mean to mess up your training.

But all that "you're nothing" talk was really freaking me out.

Did Rose make you feel like you were nothing?

Heh...

Rose made me feel like I was everything.

I see now how deeply you care about each other.

[ Sniffles ]

That will make you both great knights!

Connie is practically an expert.

So, Steven, you have a lot of catching up to do.

Oh, I'm so excited.

I can't wait for the midair and underwater dueling exercises.

It's going to be boodles of fun!

♪ If I could begin to be

♪ half of what you think of me

♪ I could do about anything

♪ I could even learn how to love like you ♪
