CONNIE CROWD GARNET RUBY SAPPHIRE STEVEN STEVEN_CHANT STEVEN wow, connie! you really have all this college stuff figured out! CONNIE i’ve got a whole plan worked out for early admission to university of jayhawk, but i’m still not sure if i’m going to major in political science with a minor in sociology, or major in sociology with a minor in poli sci. STEVEN did establishing democracy across the galaxy get you excited about politics? CONNIE maybe, but as far as long-term career goals go, i’m thinking more…down-to-earth. pfft! STEVEN CONNIE wow! fifteen minutes went fast! STEVEN aaww, these study breaks are so short! CONNIE i know, right? STEVEN oh, hold on connie! you left this brochure at my place last time. do you need it back? CONNIE thanks, but i got two more at home and you know, internet! STEVEN oh, heh heh, right… but you’ll let me know when you wanna hang, right?! CONNIE of course, silly! all right, for real now, bye! STEVEN jayhawk, huh… where’s beach city? oh. that’s really far… STEVEN garnet?! you’re still home? GARNET steven. STEVEN i could really use your advice. GARNET come back to me later. i gotta split. SAPPHIRE i’m so sorry, steven! i’m running late to my lecture on alternate timelines! have a nice day with the scouts, beautiful! mmwah! RUBY hey, sapphire’s got her thing, but you can still talk to ol’ ruby! walk and talk, scout! i got things to do! STEVEN oh, okay! RUBY okay, everyone! you remember what we learned last week, right?! so… today is the day! brace yourselves… we’re gonna… sketch nature and animals!! i’m gonna ask you to feel the beauty of everything that surrounds you… draw it with your heart! …and then… you’ll have the honor of recieving this “nature sketching badge”!!! let’s go!!! no time to waste!!! RUBY so what did you wanna talk about? STEVEN every time i’m talking with connie, i just realize that she knows exactly what she wants to do with her life! and….i don’t. when we’re stevonnie, i feel ready for anything! but on my own, i feel lost and stuck! ruby, what do i want?! RUBY wow, that’s a tough one. STEVEN i know!!! connie will probably go far away for college! and i’m gonna stay here… not knowing what to do and so far from her!!! i want to stay with her like you and sapphire …wait! all i wanna do, is be with connie, so maybe that means that… connie is my future!!!! RUBY steven steven steven steven! woop! huh! ah! steven! propose! STEVEN what? propose? well, ruby… i’m not-i’m not sure this is uh… RUBY don’t say you haven’t thought about it… STEVEN i…of course i have RUBY do it!! do it!! do it!! do it!! do ittt! STEVEN y… you sure? RUBY buddy!! it worked for me! and…if you do it, you’ll have the honor of receiving this…proposal badge! STEVEN RUBY if you’re not so sure…you should ask someone who can…see the future… SAPPHIRE all right, class STEVEN sapphhiiire! SAPPHIRE steven, right on time. STEVEN sapphire! i’m sorry to interrupt your class! ruby says i should propose to connie, but she said to check in with you and your future vision! SAPPHIRE i understand. let’s run the numbers, shall we? all right, class… using the concepts we’ve reviewed so far, we’re going to calculate the probability of steven’s proposal to connie succeeding. let’s start with the probability she will be willing to spend her life with someone. then we'll multiply that by your differential factor of sociocultural marriage acceptance, which is then multiplied by the happiness potential of your cohabitation...multiplied by the factor for fear of engagement, multiplied by the intensity of the reciprocal love for each other, and finally multiplied by the robustness of your life plans. are you following so far? STEVEN nnnnno...? oh no! sapphire, your work! SAPPHIRE and there we have it. CROWD SAPPHIRE do you understand, steven? my marriage with ruby, our fusion as garnet, eluded my future vision, defied every odd, and changed the course of time! we can write equations in the sand all day, but a wave of chance can just come crashing in and wash it all away. love -- it's unquantifiable! even with my clairvoyance, i know better than anyone that true love makes the impossible…possible! do it, steven. do it! do it! do it!!! STEVEN yeah…yeah!! all right, friends! take a good look at this guy while you can 'cause today may be his last day as steven quartz cutiepie demayo diamond universe! STEVEN ba ba badada ba baaa ba ba! ba bada ba ba ba bada ba badada ba woo oo hoo hoo. ba baa badada da duh. duh duh doooo doo doo. ba ba babababah bah bum. ba bah. CONNIE huh? STEVEN hey, connie! how you doin’? CONNIE steven?! what are you doing here? STEVEN you’re gonna have a 15 minute break in... two minutes, right? CONNIE woah! spot on. STEVEN connie…let’s go for a walk! i’m sure you could use some fresh air. CONNIE i would love to, but… STEVEN no no no! don’t worry! we’ll go with lion! and…i promise you’ll be back in 15 minutes!!! CONNIE okay! let’s do this! STEVEN you remember the first time we met? CONNIE you mean when you were trying to ride your bike on the sand and you ran away screaming? STEVEN yeah, exactly! i was trying everything to get your attention! CONNIE i’m pretty sure i was totally focused on my book and didn’t see anything! STEVEN well, that all happened right here! CONNIE steven… this is STEVEN i remember it like it was yesterday! CONNIE this is so cute STEVEN connie…there’s something very important that i want to say to you today… STEVEN CHANT i’d rather be tall i’d rather be smart i’d rather be sure you know i care wherever you go whatever you start i’d rather be sure you know i’m there i’d rather i always be a part of whatever you dooo i’d rather be me with you wherever we go i already trust i’d know what to do if it were us i’d know what to say i’d know how to be i’d know your entire syllabus i can’t think of any other thing in the world i would rather do if i could be i’d rather be me with you. CONNIE steven, that’s so beautiful!! s…steven…? STEVEN connie… will you marry me? CONNIE what? STEVEN let’s get married and live as stevonnie! CONNIE what?! Steven maybe we should …talk about this first? STEVEN i know you might think i’m being sentimental, but this makes sense!! for example… i don’t know what you’ve been studying, but stevonnie does! we can go to college together!!! CONNIE steven, come on, we’re really young! you…you don’t wanna be stevonnie with me? CONNIE of course i do! but i want to be my own person too! STEVEN well yeah but is…is it a “no”? CONNIE it’s a “not now,” steve STEVEN but if we’re sure that we’re gonna spend our lives together, why not say it now? CONNIE we’ve got plenty of time… don’t worry! STEVEN i’m not worried, i’m just… happy to be with you… that’s all… CONNIE i’m happy to be with you too! it’s just that… Oh no! my alarm! forget studying right now, it doesn’t matter! STEVEN yes, it does. it’s important to you. CONNIE you’re important to me! STEVEN i’m fine! we’ll talk about it later! lion’s waiting for you! CONNIE steven…a-are you sure? STEVEN yeah…! CONNIE i’ll call you tomorrow at lunchtime! STEVEN good luck studying! STEVEN i don’t get it… ruby and sapphire said i should go for it… GARNET you can’t trust love advice from those two hopeless romantics. STEVEN then why didn’t you stop me? GARNET there was no future where you didn’t propose to connie. STEVEN of course… GARNET your soulmate is your complement – not your missing piece. ruby and sapphire love being together, but they each have their own individual lives. whatever hole there is in your life, steven, i want you to understand that connie – stevonnie – won’t be able to fill it. STEVEN it’s just that…y-you make it look so easy! i mean, i hate to say it, but this is kind of your fault for being so…so perfect!! GARNET i know you’re upset, steven. STEVEN well…well, maybe shoving this adorable cake in my face will make me feel better. GARNET it really, really won’t. STEVEN i’m doing it anyway!!! GARNET i know
