Scenes with Lapis Lazuli 25

[Steven approaches the blue girl with the cracked gem on her back; she turns to Steven with blank eyes]

Lapis

Thank you. [stands up] You didn't... oh! [Steven catches her fall] You actually talked to me. You helped me! It's Steven, right?

[breathes deeply] Hm.

Lapis

I'm Lapis. Lapis Lazuli. Are you really a Crystal Gem?

Yeah!

Lapis

But... you set me free.

But... wha..?

[offscreen] STEVEN!!!

Wha? [the Gems run forward to them, summoning their weapons] WAIT!!

Lapis

You... [Steven turns back; a huge water-arm slowly rises out of the ocean behind her; to the Gems] You three knew I was in there, and you didn't do anything. Did you even wonder who I used to be?! [slams the water-arm on the Gems, trapping Garnet; Pearl and Amethyst land down opposite sides]

Steven, run!!

What are you doing?!

Lapis

I'm Lapis Lazuli, and you can't keep me trapped here anymore! [Steven gasps] They're not gonna let us leave.

Leave?! [Lapis parts the ocean apart to make a path]

Lapis

Steven, come with me.

Where?!

Lapis

..Home.

B-b-but... B-but I... uh... [Lapis becomes down for a beat, closes path]

Lapis

Fine.

[Garnet breaks free and punches the water-arm away, runs to Steven and Lapis]

Lapis

Don't trust them, Steven. Goodbye.

[a huge wave knocks Steven and Garnet back behind Lapis as she walks into the ocean; Pearl and Amethyst run to them]

[hugs him] Steven! Are you okay?!

Yeah. I'm fine. So, that was another Gem?

[sighs] Yes. [the Gems stare at the ocean for a beat]

Steven, you're grounded.

Lapis

[appears as a visualization on video] Steven!

Lapis?

Greg

I did it!

I can't believe my flipping eyes!

Everyone, listen up!

Lapis

I hope you're able to hear this. There's a Gem that's looking for you. She even knew your name! I don't know how... I didn't tell her, I swear! She's on her way to Earth... and she's not alone! Steven, Homeworld... it's not the way it used to be. Everything here is so advanced! I can't even understand it. There's no way anything on Earth can stand up to it. Please, don't put up a fight. It'll only lead to devastation!

[Video suddenly cuts to static; The group pauses for a beat]

[worried] It's Peridot. She must be talking about Peridot.

Amethyst

She's coming for us!

Lapis... she sounds so unhappy.

This is their base?

Lapis

Yes.

You need to leave immediately!

Amethyst

Yeah, step off!

This is not a Gem controlled planet!

Neither of you saw Rose Quartz? Oh, what a shame. I'd hoped to meet her. I was looking forward to beating her into the ground!

View quote →

Steven, get out of here!

No!

I won't let you risk your life!

[tearing up] But this is my home, and you're all my family! [his gem glows]

Firing.

I'm… I'm a Crystal Gem TOO! [jumps in front of the firing beam from the ship and summons out Rose's shield, protecting the Gems and himself]

[turns around in shock] That shield! That symbol! [Steven collapses to the ground after his shield dispels] You! You have the power of Rose Quartz!

Now do you believe I needed an escort?

Fire a barrage, widespread! [to Steven after the ship fires a cut line across the beach] Rose, why do you look like that? Why are you so weak?

Lapis

Don't hurt him!

You knew about this!

Lapis

It wasn't relevant to the mission!

Forget about the mission!

What?!

Yellow Diamond needs to see this... thing.

[the red-colored Gem runs to a cell with Steven and gasps]

GGem

Oh, it's just you...

Lapis! [Lapis looks behind] Lapis, I can get you out! [moves his arms forward]

Lapis

Stop!!

It's okay, I can—

Lapis

No! I don't want your help! Things are bad enough as it is! I've already made too much trouble. Once we get back to Homeworld, they're going to decide what to do with us.

GGem

ARRGH!! I don't have time for this!! [runs off]

Wait!

Lapis

Steven, whatever you're doing, just stop. If we do everything they say, they might go easy on us.

But they're... mean! They hurt my friends, they hurt my face! They've got you here in prison!

Lapis

That's why we can't fight them.

That's why we have to fight them!

[Lapis turns herself to the right side, looking down on the floor]

I'll come back for you.

Lapis

For a moment, I really felt like things were different... but they're not. No matter where I go, I'm trapped.

But you're not. You're not underwater. You're not in a mirror. This time, you're free!

Lapis

But I'm still on Earth!

Yeah, but nothing is still on Earth. Everything's always changing—the leaves, the cities... even Jersey changes. My dad says the rest stops used to be pretty gross, but now they have sushi! This isn't the same world that held you prisoner - not anymore. And I know it doesn't feel like home, but maybe that can change too. I know you can't go back to Homeworld, but if you stay here, it'll be your choice to stay here.

Lapis

It's funny... For all the time I spent on Earth, I barely saw any of it.

That's not funny. That's super sad.

[talking into the tape recorder] And then I'll say, "Hey, as one refugee to another, it isn't so bad that we can't go back to Homeworld, am I right? Why don't we watch the sun come up and figure out what we're going to do with all this time, eh, Lazuli?" And then she'll say, "Yes, Peridot. As impressed I was by you on the ship, I am even more impressed with your new compact look and capacity for friendship! I'm so glad we're going to live together." Peridot, Facet 5. [ends her log] Let's begin.

Lapis

[amused] This isn't gonna work.

Wait, what?

Lapis

I really thought I would be living alone here.

Yeah, but this is even better! Oh here, how about this? I saw this on an episode of a TV show! I didn't see how it ended, but I'm sure it worked out right. We'll divide this place in half, you'll both have your own space. [takes out a marker and divides the barn into two non-equal parts] High ceilings, real wood floors, convenient location on the heart of the country. So what do you think, roomies?

[satisfied] I like the cut of your gem, Steven Quartz.

Lapis

No. No way!

What's the problem? You're the one getting all the good stuff! You've got the propeller and paint cans on your side! You can do tons with those! Oooh, actually, I kinda want the paint cans - you wanna trade something?

Lapis

I don't care about paint cans. That's not the problem.

Bah...

What's wrong, Lapis?

Lapis

It's her.

Egh?!

Lapis

She's the problem. I can't stand the thought of looking at her everyday. She's the one who dragged me back to Earth.

Hey, it wasn't my idea. I was headed to Earth and I needed an informant. It should have been a simple mission. Things didn't exactly work out for either of us.

Lapis

You used me like everyone else did!

But it's not like that anymore. It's different now - I'M different!

It's true, Lapis. Peridot has really come into her own since she's been living on Earth.

I sabotaged my own mission! I helped save the Earth, I even yelled at Yellow Diamond! She's probably sending a whole fleet to find me and shatter me right now! I'm kind of a big deal; a big Anti-Homeworld deal!

Lapis

Steven, I don't think this is gonna work.

Ahhhh, ummmm, maybe we could put up a curtain? [Lapis gives him a patient smile, but walks out of the barn and flies to the top of the Silo; to Peridot] Sorry. Thought this was gonna be okay. I forgot the last time you saw each other… wasn't so okay.

That was in the past. It's not like that now! UGHHHH!

I know.

But obviously she doesn't! She's the one who needs to know! I want her to understand!

Aw Peridot, that's sweet! That's the you you need to show her!

[confused] Show her my sweet?

I got you.

[hands Lapis the letter] Steven did the outside, and I did the inside.

Lapis

[opens the letter with an unimpressed look; reading] "Sorry I interrogated you. You were just full of such useful information. That's a sincere compliment. Peridot."

[on a rubber ring in a miniature lake] H-2-oh my gosh. It's a smaller than an average lake!

It's from the hole we drilled. Peridot and I sealed it and filled it with water. [Lapis pauses for a beat]

It's a gift for you. You know, 'cause like water's your thing? [snickers] Pretty good right? The barn's out here in the country, but now you can get your moisture fix whenever. Do all that water stuff you do.

Lapis

..Water? Seriously?

Yeah!

Lapis

You do realize that I spent the last few months trapped under the ocean, right?

Sure! But, I thought—

Lapis

It was an endless, crushing darkness. Wet and bleak and suffocating. Water was the tomb I lived in for those months.

[queasy and terrified] Tomb, you say?

Lapis

Yeah. I'm kinda taking a break from water right now. [beat] But thanks…for the lake.

[grimaces] Uhh…

Urrgh…

Lapis

Don't worry, Steven. It's not your fault.

A pool! What a cloddy idea. Of course she wouldn't like that. There's nothing! Nothing! Nothing!

There has to be something. Something, something. Maybe, instead of something she likes, give her something you like. A piece of you!

Um…okay. How about my Camp Pining Hearts DVD?

Which season?

Five?

Trash.

I know! Ugh! [falls onto the ground with her back; speaks into the tape recorder] Log Date- whatever. Facet- whatever! WHATEVER! Clearly there's nothing important enough for me to give to Lazuli. At least I have you, tape recorder. [gets an idea; later wraps up the tape recorder with a blue ribbon and presents it to Lapis] Ta-da! [scoots a little closer to Lapis] See, the ribbon is even blue. I got your number. [looks at Steven, who shrugs] Uh, here. I'll unwrap it for you. When I was stuck here, Steven gave me this tape recorder as a gift, and I didn't really get at first, but it made me feel better. [rips away the wrapping] Just to talk about all the weird stuff that was happening. It'll help you too. [gives the recorder to Lapis] You, uh, press the button to record, and then you talk into it.

Lapis

[presses the recording button and speaks into the tape recorder] I don't want your garbage. [raises the tape recorder up, crushes it, and drops it onto the ground]

GUH! What, were you trapped in a tape recorder, too?! [Lapis glares enraged at her; frustrated] Look, I get it, you know? You're confused. You can never go back to Homeworld. This place doesn't exactly feel like home yet. You're alone! No one could possibly know what that feels like! Oh, wait, I do! We're the same! Except… [calms down] you don't have to be alone. So, tell me, then, what you want from me. And whatever that is… [sighs] I'll do it.

Lapis

[scowling] I want you… TO LEAVE!

[visibly hurt] Okay. [starts walking away]

Lapis, why are you being so mean to her? She's really trying.

Lapis

Why do you trust her, Steven?

Because I know her! Lapis, you're not even giving her a chance. You should have at least gotten to know her before you decided you don't like her. Now it's too late. And she's never coming back again. [He and Lapis see Peridot running towards them while screaming] Oh, she's coming back again.

THEY'RE HERE!

[Five Homeworld Rubies have arrived on Earth as Steven and the Gems hide in the barn]

Whoa, look at 'em all.

[scared] I knew it! They're after me! This is the end of the line!

Lapis

You really weren't kidding.

I disobeyed a direct order from Yellow Diamond, and I called her a clod…to her face.

Oh, honestly, you call everyone a clod.

Yes. But not everyone has command over all the armies of Homeworld waiting for the word to shatter me! [fearfully hides under a box]

Peridot! We won't let them get you. [lifts the box, revealing Peridot curled up]

Haven't I caused you enough trouble?

Don't worry, Peridot. It's our sworn duty to protect anything that calls this planet home, and that includes clods like you.

[quietly] That's my word.

Listen up, everyone. I have a plan. Or should I say… [holds up her hands] We have a plan? [giggles as she unfuses, separating into Ruby and Sapphire]

Sapphire

Hello, everyone.

PAPearl & Amethyst

Ruby! Sapphire!

[runs over and hugs them both] Hugs!

Sapphire

Hello, Steven!

[Disguised as a human baseball team]

We're the humans! Steven!

[amid the dark clouds, Steven sees Lapis on the stem of the boat staring at the ocean]

Lapis? Um... I have some not-so-good news. There's trouble with the engine, and we might be stuck out here for a while. [Lapis sighs. He pauses] I'm so sorry! This whole thing is my fault. I just wanted you to have fun, but e-everything's a mess. I-I shouldn't have made you come on this trip. [Lapis then walks to the right]

Lapis

It's my fault. I'm the one to blame.

That's not true!

Lapis

I'm really trying to enjoy it out here, but... I can't stop thinking about being fused as Malachite. How I used all my strength to hold her down in the ocean, and how I was always battling against Jasper to keep her bound to me.

But it's not like that anymore. You don't have to be with Jasper.

Lapis

That's not it. I... I miss her.

[shocked] What?!

Lapis

We were fused for so long.
