[holds the Sea Spire statue, sighs] I... I'm really sorry I forgot it on our mission that time.
Oh, Steven...
If I had just remembered to pack it, then maybe the Sea Spire would still be around. But now it's gone forever 'cause of me.
Well, yeah, but... Don't worry about it, guy.
You did your best on that mission and that's what counts.
But the Sea Spire! It was a special, important Gem... place!
[walks to Steven] Oh, Steven, no, no, no. If the Spire had been crucial, we wouldn't have used it as a test for you. It's fine, really.
[beat] ..Test? What do you mean, "test"?
[Garnet and Amethyst glance at each other. Pearl gets worried with thunderous sounds]
Uhh... well, it wasn't really a "test", per se—not in the traditional sense... We just wanted to see if you were ready to go on missions.
..That's exactly what a test is!
Oouhh...
Steven, it wasn't something we planned behind your back. We just saw an opportunity and—
[gasps] And I failed it! [long beat] I failed the test...
No way, you got at least a 50 percent.
Oh! And you had that raft so we didn't have to swim home? That's a solid 75—not failing at all! Besides, that Spire was in much worse shape than we thought. It should have been even easier.
[beat] ...I FAILED AN EASY TEST!?!
[to Pearl] Nice one.
[stands up] Hmm...
[sweating] That's not what I meant! I—
No! I need another test! A hard one!
[pause] But, Steven... you've come so far.
Let me prove it! Test me! Test me!!
