[narrating] The furious crowd closed in around Ruby and Sapphire. They'd never seen fusion of two different types of gems.
VGVarious Gems (Garnet)
Unbelievable! Disgusting! This is unheard of!
[narrating] Blue Diamond's voice cut through the crowd.
BDBlue Diamond (Garnet)
The rebels have fled. Sapphire, this is not the scenario you described.
This is… not what I saw! I don't know what happened, I…
BDBlue Diamond (Garnet)
Clearly.
[narrating] Said Blue Diamond.
BDBlue Diamond (Garnet)
How dare you fuse with a member of my court?
BDBlue Diamond (Garnet)
You will be broken for this!
BBoth
Where did we go, what did we do?
I think we made something entirely new
And it wasn't quite me and it wasn't quite you
I think it was someone entirely new.
Well, I just can't stop thinking
Did you say I was different?
When would I have ever?
And now you're here forever!
Mm-m-m-m-mm
BBoth
Mm-m-m-m-mm, hm-m-m-m-m
Mm-m-m-m-mm
Mm-m-m-m-mm...
[narrating] I was back. I was someone and I didn't know who. But I felt I was getting the hang of my strange new form. [beat] And then I fell.
PGPast Garnet
Ahh! [tumbling down a hill and crashes in bushes] Ouch... [a sword is pointed to her face] Aahh! Don't hurt her! Don't hurt... me?
[Pan up to see Pearl as the sword bearer]
PGPast Garnet
We didn't mean to fuse! Well... well, we did this time. We'll unfuse! We-we'll... w-we'll... [Rose Quartz comes by]
No, no, please. I'm glad to see you again.
And there they were - Rose Quartz, the leader of the rebellion and her terrifying renegade Pearl.
PGPast Garnet
I don't... upset you?
Who cares about how I feel? How you feel is bound to be much more interesting.
PGPast Garnet
How I feel? I-I feel... uh, lost... and scared... a-and happy. W-Why am I so sure that I'd rather be this than everything I was supposed to be, and that I'd rather do this than everything I was supposed to do? [Rose chuckles and smiles]
PGPast Garnet
C-Can you tell me?! How was Ruby able to alter fate? Or, why was Sapphire willing to give up everything? W-What am I?!
No more questions. Don't ever question this. You already are the answer.
[Flashback story ends as Garnet concludes]
So…what was it? The answer?
[Steven runs and hides to an edge of the barn; he de-ages into his normal state]
Ohhh, geez! If I can just keep this up for the rest of my life, no one will suspect a thi—
[he sees wide-eyed Amethyst and Greg staring at Steven for a beat; he drops a piñata stick]
[stammers] U-uh— well, what are [ages back] you doing?
What are you doing to your body?!
Woah, woah, woah... Have you been stretching yourself out all day?!
No! I was just... slouching.
Why are you doing this? It... really isn't like you.
Because, Dad! I can't stay a kid forever! When Connie grows up and becomes president, what is that gonna make me? First Boy?!
Steven, you can't just keep stretching forever. If you hold it too long, you could really hurt yourself.
Yeah, well, I'm half-human so maybe it works different for me! We'll just have to wait and see, right?!
[holds up crying Baby Steven in front of everyone] We were just talking, then all of a sudden…
He turned back into a baby?!
Dude, I told you. Stretching your body out for that long is not good for you. [Baby Steven talks in baby language in response; holds him up to Pearl] Here you go, Pearl.
Oh, no, no, don't give him to me!
Here you go. [gives her Baby Steven]
[Greg, Connie and Amethyst (as a baby car seat for Baby Steven) drive up in his van; Connie waves a maraca trying to calm down Baby Steven]
How can the Gems not know what to do?!
You think they know the first thing about raising a baby? That was all me! But I don't get it. Driving always used to calm him down.
But, how do we change him back?!
I don't know! Look, Connie, let me take you home. I-I'll call you when this all this gets sorted out.
[Connie turns to Baby Steven babbling and crying]
W-Wait, no! I wanna stay.
Yeah! I just want to be there for Steven. Don't worry, Steven. It doesn't matter to me what age it seems like you are, I wanna hang out with you no matter what. Your dad still has to earn his car wash and the Gems have to do gem stuff, so I'll watch you when they're not around. I can come see you after I'm done training with Pearl, too. Doesn't that sound fun? [Baby Steven holds onto her finger; cooing happily]
Look at that. He finally stopped crying.
Well, that's a start. [Amethyst clears her throat]
Baby Steven needs changin'.
Life and death and love and birth
And peace and war on the planet Earth
Is there anything that's worth more
Than peace and love on the planet Earth?
Whoahh, come on and sing it with me
The words relate to the key
If it's a pattern, if it's a pattern
Then just repeat after me.
Life and death and love and birth
Life and death and love and birth
Now using mi-fa-mi-mi-fa-mi-ti-la!
BBoth
And peace and war on the planet Earth.
Yeah, but that's what's fun about it! You should write something, you should write a song.
Whatever you're thinking.
I guess we're already here, I guess we already know
We've all got something to fear, we've all got nowhere to go
I think you're all insane, but I guess I am too
Anybody would be if they were stuck on Earth with you.
Coordinates! [popping out from the drill's cockpit] We still have the Cluster's exact coordinates in order to drill!
There's a Diamond base that may hold that information, but getting there is going to be difficult.
Because it's not accessible by warp pad, and it's on… [gazes up into the sky]
[singing while floating around] ♪ I was bouncing on the moon one day… ♪ [bumps into the wall and looks up at a mural] Huh? Hey, Peridot, who is this supposed to be?
[approaches and gasps in surprise at the mural] It's Blue Diamond! Wait. Are they all here?! Ah, yes! There she is!
[They run up to the mural of Yellow Diamond]
Behold, Yellow Diamond! Isn't she magnificent?
Wow! So, who are the Diamonds anyway? They seem like a big deal.
Are you joking me? The Diamonds are the Gem matriarchs! Together, they make up the Great Diamond Authority that governs Homeworld and all the outlying colonies! We live to serve them. [Garnet clears her throat and glares down at her in annoyance; nervously chuckles] I…I mean, we were all made to serve them, even though some of us don't anymore.
