Dearly beloved Gems, humans, lions big and small, living gourds, Onion, we are gathered here today to celebrate Ruby and Sapphire, two of my favorite people, who combine into one of my other favorite people! You all probably know her as Garnet. She's their love, given form. Now it's your turn to talk about that.
I know this is all kind of silly, I mean, we've been together for 5,750 years.
I used to feel like I wasn't much good, just one of me on my own. But when we're together, it feels like it's okay to just be me. So I wanna be me, with you, an-and, not even the Diamonds will come between us. And if they try, we'll beat 'em up!
Ruby, my future used to look like one single, obvious stream, unbending 'til the end of time. In an instant, you pulled me from that destiny and opened my eye to an explosion of infinite possible futures, streaking across space and time, altered and obliterated by the smallest force of will. [beat] What I mean is, you changed my life. And then, I changed your life. And now, we changed our lives.
Amethyst[gently bumps Bismuth] Hey, Bismuth, that's your cue.
[Bismuth, touched and crying by the vows, approaches them with the rings]
Ruby, do you take this Gem to have and to hold, on this and every other planet in the universe!?
[whispering] You didn't let me finish.
Then by the power vested in me by the state of Delmarva, I now pronounce you… Garnet!
[While the Cluster and Yellow Diamond's ship engage in an arm wrestling, Blue Diamond emerges from her ship as it faces Steven and the others in front of the temple]
Guess it's time to work the old Universe charm.
Alright, I'll just... be in here. [goes inside the house]
Rose Quartz. So you escaped Homeworld and crawled back here. [raises her head, angrily crying with tears of grief] This is Pink's world! How dare you use it as your hiding place?! COME! Answer for what you've done!
This is bad! This is bad! This is bad! This is bad!
Come on, you rocks! Let's put her in a bubble!
PAPearl, Amethyst & Garnet
Right!
Wait, there's no reason to fight. Let me talk to her. [approaches Blue Diamond to try and reason with her] Blue Diamond, please listen to me! I didn't shatter Pink Diamond. Pink Diamond's right here. It's pretty interesting when you think about it--
ENOUGH! [hurls an energy blast at Steven, knocking him back, only for Alexandrite to catch him]
You cannot fathom how much I've mourned, what thousands of years of grief has done to me! [unleashes her aura, de-fusing Alexandrite, making everyone fall on their knees and tear up, except Connie]
I know this sword. This is the sword THAT SHATTERED HER! [destroys the sword as Steven gasps, which made Connie fall down only to be caught by Lion] You deserve this-- all of you!
Amethyst
Steven…
I don't know. She won't listen, she just wants to fight!
Who are you supposed to be?
I am the will of two Gems to care for each other, to protect each other from any threat, no matter how vast or how cruel. You couldn't stop me 5,750 years ago, and you can't stop me now!
It's you, that Ruby and Sapphire that disrupted my court.
This is supposed to be MY day!
You hope to defeat me by clinging to my feet?
I just needed to keep you from taking three steps to the right.
We can't just hand Steven over to Blue Diamond, she's a shatterer!
She's not gonna hurt him, look at her. She really thinks he's one of them.
Amethyst
[sobbing loudly] Somebody make Blue Diamond stop!
It's just… [sniffles] Blue Diamond's power. She's obviously relieved that Pink Diamond wasn't shattered after all.
[Yellow Diamond tries to reactive her ship but fails]
Hmm. How could you do this to us, Pink? Why did you let us think you were shattered? Why the strange disguise? Why are you doing a voice? Why didn't you say something at the trial?! And Blue, could you please stop crying? I can't see. [wipes her tears, splashing the Gems]
Sorry. [sets Steven down]
My mom kept it secret from everyone.
What are you talking about?
Well, apparently, Mom… Oh, geez. You don't know what a mom is. Okay, Pink Diamond took the form of Rose Quartz permanently after faking her shattering. Then, Rose Quartz gave up that form to create a new life with my dad-- me. Rose passed her gemstone and some of her powers onto me, but that's all. I-I don't have any of Pink or Rose's memories. I'm sorry.
Hmm. I'm sure your memories are in there somewhere, Pink.
Actually, I go by "Steven."
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.
Amethyst
What?!
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.
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!
Amethyst
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.
[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)
Amethyst
Yeah!
[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]
[grabs Pearl's gem] Come on, Pearl. Dance with me! [twirls around and fuses with Pearl to form Rainbow Quartz 2.0]
RQRainbow Quartz 2.0
Well, what do you know? It's Rainbow 2.0! Now, this is a fine mess we're in. [sees Ruby and Sapphire's gemstones falling; gasps] That won't do. [blows raspberry] Rainbow Quartz powers, activate! [catches Ruby and Sapphire's gemstones] Ah, yes. Now that's two stones, with one bird.
[Steven and new reformed Pearl unfuse]
Amethyst
Wow! Nice form, Pearl.
Oh, [chuckles] thank you. I'm particularly excited about the jacket. Aah! Steven! We fused!
Almost. [looks down at Ruby and Sapphire's gemstones] Garnet, we're up against a giant robot. We need your help. Please come out. I'm here. I love you! [hugs them tightly as he begins to glow and starts fusing, to form Sunstone]
SSunstone
Awwwwwwwwwww, yeah! You better step off! Chillax, my dudes. Your rockin' pal Sunstone is holdin' it down.
Amethyst
Holy...
SSunstone
Oh, you better believe it.
Sunstone, what are we gonna do? White Diamond's never going to listen, and she's never going to let us leave.
SSunstone
If she won't listen, we'll make her listen.
Amethyst
And how are we gonna do that?
SSunstone
I know she's in there. We'll bust into her head and change her mind.
SSunstone
Let's take that bully down! [to the viewers] But remember kids: if you ever have to deal with a bully, be sure to tell an adult. [yanks Pearl and Amethyst onto their shoulders and sprints towards the giant pink foot of the ship] Ally-oop! [summons her suction cups] Kids, don't try this at home. Ha! Bungacowa!
Then let's fuse… All four of us. It's the only way we're gonna get up to her head.
Amethyst
I'm in!
Then it's decided. It's time to form Obsidian.
[Connie, Bismuth, Peridot, and Lapis back away to give some space for the Crystal Gems to perform their fusion dance; Obsidian is formed by letting out a big loud cry for battle]
[amazed] They're HU-U-U-U-GE!!
Steven! [rushes to Steven and hugs him] Are you back together? Are you you?
Yeah. Yeah! I’m me! I’ve always been me.
NO! You are Pink Diamond! That is Pink Diamond's gem! You do not look like this! You do not sound like this! You are not half-human! You're just... acting like a child!
I am a child. What's your excuse?
[starts blushing, and notices the Gems under her control doing the same] What's happening? What is this? What's wrong with them? They're turning... pink! I don't understand, I'm in control, I-- [gasps] Something's wrong! With ME! No! [releases all the Gems (including Pink Pearl) from her control]
[Steven and Connie run up to the Crystal Gems and hug them, happily]
Amethyst
[sitting up; groaning] What happened?
I think Steven got through to her.
Amethyst
What you playing?
I had an idea. Well, a song idea- but, also an idea idea.
Amethyst
Yeah.
