We can only do so much, if it was the four of us.
Oh, no. We can't let her see this!
What do you mean, "who?" White.
Steven, White Diamond isn't like us. She isn't even like them. [gestures to Blue and Yellow Diamond] You have no idea what she's capable of.
[While traveling to Homeworld on Pink Diamond's ship…]
Should I have brought a gift for White Diamond? We are dropping in unexpectedly, and… I want to make a good first impression. Her help will mean everything for the Corrupted Gems.
Hmph. "Good impression"? We'll be lucky if she ever speaks to us again after this.
The thing is, White... can be... difficult.
When we show up in this ship, it will be irrefutable that the last 6,000 years are now the biggest galactic embarrassment that's ever happened. And we're the ones to blame. (to Steven) If you don't want to be in a bubble for the next few millennia, I suggest you let me do the talking.
PPearl
Steven! [runs over to Steven and hugs him] Oh, thank the stars! You're okay! What did White Diamond do? Did she hurt you?
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?
PPearl
They're still on the ship. [summons out his hot dog bag] I'm only here because I'm bringing your things. And they consider me one of your things.
[Diamond chime plays]
PPearl
The Diamond chime -- it's Yellow.
[The door opens, revealing Yellow Pearl standing right there]
Pink Diamond, my Diamond has requested your presence in the extraction chamber.
PPearl
Let's get you into a suit. [opens the bag]
[Steven, Pearl, and Yellow Pearl walk through a yellow hallway]
[now in his yellow swimsuit] Swim trunks don't seem very formal.
PPearl
Trust me, this will be more comfortable than jeans.
PPearl
Steven, stop. You're going to break her. [opens the extraction chamber door]
Have a nice extraction, Pink Lasagna.
[Steven walks into the extraction chamber sauna]
It's new. Have a seat. [Steven uses his floating powers to jump up and takes a seat] So, you met with White. How was it?
All I got to say was, "Hi," and, "um," and, "I."
Two and a half words -- that's a record.
Two and a half words isn't enough. I still need to talk to White about healing all the corrupted Gems!
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!
Maybe you should just… fail?
[looks momentarily shocked, then starts laughing] Oh, Pink, you always did have quite a knack for making me laugh. You're almost worth the trouble.
[showing up] Pink Diamond, my Diamond was requested your presence.
[Steven, Pearl, and Blue Pearl walk down a blue hallway]
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 face-palms] I should have asked her what she was doing after the Citron thing!
PPearl
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.
What about their days off, weekends?
My Diamond is awaiting our arrival.
Okay! [runs and jumps into the pool, laughing] Whoo-hoo! (laughing) It's funny! I -- I live right next to the ocean, but I end up going to space to swim.
[laughs, causing the pool to shake a bit] You haven't changed. So silly. So small.
I'm not done growing. I'm not sure I can catch up to you and Yellow, though.
I'm so glad you're back... Steven.
Y-You actually said my name!
Steven. Steee-von? (chuckles) It's such a funny sounding name. You're so creative, Pink.
(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?
Before her colony, Pink used to throw massive balls.
[surprised] She was a juggler?!
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.
Oh, yes! Huh. I wonder what's even become of Pink's court.
PPearl
The Pebbles have been working all night. What do you think?
It almost feels like home.
[Later in the Diamond throne room…]
A ball? We haven't had a ball in 6,000 years.
We haven't had Pink in 6,000 years!
Yeah! When White Diamond shows up we can tell her why we need her help on Earth!
And, this can also mark the beginning of Era 3.
You're right, it's brilliant.
Thank you, Yellow! Thank you, Blue!
If White is going to be there everything has to be perfect! Pink, can you manage this on your own? Our Pearls can help you get started.
At your service, Pink Diamond.
Make sure you go through all of our customs with Pink, since she has so much trouble recalling her past here on Homeworld.
PPearl
Era 3! Steven, you're already changing the world!
Yeah! Come on, party Pearls!
YBYellow and Blue Pearl
We are at your command, Pink Diamond.
YBYellow and Blue Pearl
Whatever you command, Pink Diamond.
Balloons everywhere! Confetti cannons too!
Dibs on being the confetti cannon!
Cannons are forbidden inside palace walls. These "balloons" you're referring to, are unprecedented and therefore out of the question.
The Sapphire will need to enter with the other Sapphires of course, and the Ruby will need to enter with the guard.
Woah, woah, woah. Are you talking about Garnet?
Garnet? Does "that" call herself a Garnet? What would you have her do? Enter with the Demantoids, the Hessonites, the Pyropes? Pink, I'm being very generous, but you can't expect me to-
At least the Sapphire in there has some sense.
Everyone, behold! The daunting, beauty and elegance that is, Yellow Diamond!
I appreciate your attendance, Yellow.
Ahem, everyone prepare yourselves emotionally for the overpowering elegance that is, Blue Diamond.
WPWhite Pearl
To those in attendance of the Era 3 ball, White Diamond... has more important things to attend to.
WPWhite Pearl
Therefore, I will be here to observe in her place. Welcome to Era 3.
[through gritted teeth]] Pink, what are you doing?!
I was just dancing! [sees they have accidentally fused and everybody else looks in shock]
Pink, this is completely unacceptable! Unfuse or I'll make you!
[Ruby and Sapphire fuse and become Garnet]
You'll have to go through me!
(gasp) And me! (Runs over to Amethyst and fuses into Opal)
[two jades quickly fuse as well]
LJLemon Jade
And me! [Opal and Stevonnie look at Garnet, and she shrugs] I knew it! I knew I couldn't be the only one!
[Yellow Diamond strikes the Jade Fusion, Opal, and Garnet with her lightning powers, causing them all to poof]
Pink, you've gone too far even for you. [picks up Stevonnie and throws them into a dark room] Stay in here and think about what you've done!
[Yellow Diamond closes the door, ends the episode]
