FLOURITE FLUORITE LARS PADPARADSCHA PADPARASCHA PEARL RHODONITE RUTILE_LEFT RUTILE_RIGHT STEVEN LARS ughh. what the heck just happened? STEVEN lars! you saved us! you stopped the robonoids, but- but one of them exploded and…and you weren’t moving…and i started crying i brought you back to life! it was an accident! i mean, i probably would’ve done that on purpose if i had known i could do that. but i didn’t really ask you permission so, i’m sorry! LARS back to life? so i was… away from life? nnah! i’m pink!! STEVEN ah! i know! do you feel okay? LARS i don’t… really know… STEVEN but…your body….a-are you sore? LARS no… STEVEN are you tired? LARS no? STEVEN do you feel good? LARS no! STEVEN do you feel bad? LARS no?! i guess i just feel…really freaked out? STEVEN well i am too, so at least we’re on the same page here. RHODONITE they’re back! those shattering robonoids are back! FLOURITE quickly…block the entrance! STEVEN lars, you stay here and rest! LARS all right… PADPARADSCHA i predict, lars will change in hue…what a mystery! RUTILE RIGHT strong. RHODONITE is this gonna be enough? FLOURITE they seem to have overlooked us... for the time being. PADPARASCHA quickly! block the entrance! STEVEN but as long as i’m here, they’re gonna keep coming after us… RHODONITE it’s true! this was a horrible plan! STEVEN should we try to find a new hiding spot? RHODONITE no no no. if we leave this cavern we’ll be completely exposed! FLOURITE but if we stay here, they’ll find us for sure. RUTILE LEFT so we either stay here and get caught. RUTILE RIGHT or we go out there and get caught. LARS so wait…am i a zombie now? STEVEN no! well…no! you can talk and zombies can’t do that. i must’ve healed you. i’ve healed people before, just never this much. LARS just admit it, steven! i’m a zombie! STEVEN oh, i know! ahah. a zombie wouldn’t have a heartbeat! that’s uh…pretty slow. but i think we can rule out “pink zombie.” RUTILE LEFT thank the stars! RUTILE RIGHT what’s a zombie? RHODONITE i can’t believe humans just change color like this. STEVEN they don’t. well, i guess if you get really cold you turn blue, and if you get really embarrassed you-you turn red. RHODONITE so what does pink mean? is lars going to explode or something? RUTILE LEFT maybe then lars will reform with a different color! FLUORITE i’m sure whatever color lars chooses will be lovely. LARS but, why am i pink? STEVEN even your hair is different. LARS ah! what was that? huh? it like lit up, right? you saw it too! STEVEN eh- yeah! LARS what did you do? do it again! why is it doing that? STEVEN lars…i think i know what this is. there’s something i can try, but…no. you don’t want me going in your head. LARS you’re going to—possess me again? STEVEN no, i-it would be more literal LARS then what is it? STEVEN forget it. LARS look, steven! i’m not gonna get mad, ok. i trust you, just, help me out here. if i’ve got magic hair now, i wanna know. STEVEN everyone stand back. all right, now just bend down. LARS like this? STEVEN now you might feel a slight foot in your head. LARS wait, what? RHODONITE what is happening? they’re fusing! they’re fusing, right? STEVEN you’re doing great, lars! LARS uhhh...okay? STEVEN ah! i’m home….i’m home! guys? where are they? water! food! life is beautiful! gotta bring some back for lars! i wish i could tell everyone i’m okay! oh, lion…so you were… gosh, there’s so much i wanna ask you! if only you could talk! thanks, buddy. STEVEN sorry, lars! LARS so what happened?! what’s in my head? STEVEN home! LARS wha? STEVEN everyone! i’ve made an amazing discovery! i just traveled back to planet earth, by going through lars’ head! LARS you went back to earth?! what the heck?! is my head like a wormhole? STEVEN no! it’s way simpler than that! you see, i have a pink pet lion who belonged to my mom when she was still here and it turns out that i can go into his mane and it transports me to a magical dimension where my mom kept a bunch of artifacts on a hill with a tree, and for some reason i can’t breathe in there. but anyway, when i went into lars’ head, i got transported to the same magical dimension, but it was a new part of it, but since the two are connected i could reach the portal that leads out of lion’s mane which is back on earth. STEVEN here! i brought you some food! LARS huh thanks but i- i’ll save it for later. STEVEN but aren’t you hungry? maybe you only eat magical lizards now like lion! a-a-are you hungry for lizards? LARS no. i do not want a lizard. STEVEN but you haven’t eaten in days… LARS i know. there must be pink magic in my guts now or something. RHODONITE what is this box? STEVEN it’s juice! we drink it back on earth! PADPARADSCHA steven’s back! RUTILE LEFT that can’t be! RUTILE RIGHT i’m incredulous! STEVEN why can’t it be? FLUORITE everyone knows that the eeearth- RHODONITE was decimated by the diamond attack!…sorry. STEVEN it’s not like that. the diamond’s did attack, but there are still gems living on earth. and the planet’s full of life! it grew the potatoes that became these chips! a-and grew the wheat that eventually became the flour that eventually became the bread that eventually became this sandwich! RUTILE LEFT sand? RUTILE RIGHT wich? RHODONITE but why would gems still live there? STEVEN because the earth is a place where we can be free to be ourselves. we can live freely, without having to hide who we are. RUTILE LEFT live freely? RUTILE RIGHT without having to hide? FLUORITE that sounds wooonderful! STEVEN it is! and now that we have this portal, we can all go there! LARS all? how am i supposed to go through my own head? LARS ah! stop! you’re gonna break my elbow! gahh. STEVEN gah. okay, so that didn’t work, but i’m sure there’s another way! LARS no, no, look, i get it. everyone just go and i’ll stay here! there’s no other way out, i’m it. the earth is way better than this. there’s no robots flying around, just seagulls that fly in front of the sunset and it’s beautiful. just go, you’ll see. i took it for granted! so don’t pass up this chance! RHODONITE well, if you insist! FLOURITE we won’t do it. not if it means leaving you behind. LARS what?! i’m trying to perform a beautiful act over here! FLOURITE we know this planet, we’ve been hiding in these tunnels for eons. you’ll need us to help you get around. besides, us off colors stick together. RUTILE LEFT we’ll get to earth another way. RUTILE RIGHT we’ll find an alternate route. LARS but you’ve got to go back. STEVEN but it doesn’t feel right to just leave you here. LARS you said yourself that everyone on this planet is out to get you! you won’t be safe until you’re back on earth. STEVEN but lars- LARS don’t argue with me! you’re always trying to help me - you brought me back to life! just…let me be somebody who deserved it! STEVEN all right! i’ll tell everyone you’re okay! i’ll be back! i- i can bring whatever you need! be careful, okay? FLUORITE we will. PADPARADSCHA we can’t leave without lars! RHODONITE we’ll see you on earth!…i hope. nonono – we will! STEVEN um…if you could just- LARS oh, yeah… PEARL this is hopeless! PEARL we’ll never get that dropship to fly, and we’re losing time! who knows what they’re doing to steven! hi, steven. what are we going to d- STEVEN i’m back!
