AMETHYST GREG RUBY SAPPHIRE STEVEN STEVEN Ruby. AMETHYST oh boy. so she’s all the way out here. STEVEN after everything sapphire said, she must be heartbroken. hey guys! RUBY steven?! how’d you find me? AMETHYST we sennnsed you. STEVEN we heard you ordered pizza. GREG ruby was just telling me about your mom. STEVEN oh. are you ok? GREG well, i fell in love with rose quartz and she fell in love with mr. universe. sure she never told me she used to be pink diamond, but. i never told her i used to be gregory demayo. STEVEN So how’re you holding up, ruby? RUBY i’m okay. want a slice? STEVEN uh thank you wait, really? you seemed so sad before! RUBY yeah, but me and greg talked it out. i’m fine now. STEVEN are you sure? RUBY yeah. sapphire was kinda right about everything. we really did stay garnet because rose told us we were the…answer. it’s my first time really thinking about it…it’s my first time really thinking about…me! STEVEN what do you mean? RUBY back when i emerged, the first thing i did was get crammed together with a bunch of other rubies, then… i was with sapphire all the time. i was always checking in with someone, but now i can go wherever the wind takes me! i’m up here… eating pizza! reading comics! i dunno if sapphire wants to read comics! i don’t have to know!! RUBY the rest of my life could be like this! i don’t have to be garnet –i could be on my own! GREG sure! AMETHYST i guess… STEVEN what?! b-b-b-but but you guys love each other! you’re my favorite couple! y-you’re like sugar and flour! i love eating them separately but i still want cake! i’m sure sapphire would want— RUBY i’m not fussed about what sapphire wants. i’m seeing my own future now- and it’s…nothin’ but ruby! GREG relax, kiddo. this could be what she needs. STEVEN but dad! what if they never form garnet again?! we gotta get ‘em back together! GREG whoa! th-that’s not our call to make! ruby’s gotta want that for herself. if it’s not what ruby wants, then it’s not what garnet wants, right? STEVEN mmm…i guess so… AMETHYST so…where you going after this, dude? you just gonna stay out here? RUBY i wanna live free! one with the wilderness! facing danger at every turn! not needin’ nothin’ or nobody to get me by! just like…this guy! STEVEN hmm, do you mean…something like this? RUBY that’s even better! the open plain! that’s where i wanna go! GREG i think i know just the place. i’ll get you there! RUBY thank you! hup! STEVEN all right, all right… i-if this is how it’s gotta be… i’ll support ruby in her quest for emotional growth. RUBY yeehaw!! pa pow!! pa pow!! hup! bang bang bang!! wooohooo! GREG y’all ready to wild west it up? RUBY here i am. on the open range. at least you understand me, horsey. STEVEN oh! ruby, you need a steed! AMETHYST i’m always down for a little… horsin’ around… haoohh! giddyup. GREG how’s it goin, ruby? feel like a real cowboy now? RUBY yupp. i sure reckon i do. STEVEN sorry i gotta be a yellow belly about this, but we don’t even have a map. i think we’re just gonna get outselves lost. RUBY i already am lost. that’s why i came out here….to find myself. AMETHYST it’s a dead end. RUBY this is what i mean. what’s behind this brush? i don’t know! sapphire aint here to predict for me. this is my chance to find out for myself!! hup! ah! STEVEN oh jiminy! ruby? RUBY whh. woah! i had no idea this ravine was here!! mm ugh! i almost fell down there… and it was all my choice! yee haw! independence!! STEVEN wow, ruby’s really getting into this. GREG seriously! i just taught her how to play guitar like ten minutes ago! STEVEN no dad, i-i mean the whole cowboy being alone thing. i’ve never seen her like this before. STEVEN she seems really….happy. RUBY yeehaw… STEVEN hey… ruby! RUBY hm? STEVEN y’know…. i got—really scared when you said you didn’t wanna fuse with sapphire anymore. i felt like… i was losing someone i cared about, but i saw how much fun you were having today. all this buckerooing really suits you. i’m sorry i tried to push you back into being garnet. RUBY it’s…not true. STEVEN huh? RUBY that stuff i sang about… it’s not true! STEVEN what?! RUBY i mean…i did have a lot of fun today. i loved it! but…the whole time i…hrmph.. i kept… thinking about how much more fun i’d have if i were…with her. sapphire was always there with me. i’d feel her smile…just like…it was mine… it’s so lonely now. aaaagh! that’s lame, right?! i came here to be my own gem, but i’m still thinking about— what she’d like—what she’d want— all the time! turns out… i’m no good at not needin’ nobody. STEVEN c’mon, that’s not lame! you led us on a frontier adventure! you're still the same ruby who did all that stuff—even if you're thinking of someone. look at our friend lonesome lasso— they call him that ‘cause he’s lonesome! “i miss sally may!” he’s still a rootin’ tootin’ cowboy blazin’ his own trails. but…he just loves someone too. RUBY well, if i’m makin my own decisions then i’ll decide i wanna be with sapphire. i mean, i gotta ask her first. i just don’t want it to feel like we’re going back to how things used to be. back when…someone told us to be together. i want it to feel different. STEVEN wait a sec! what do you think of this?! SAPPHIRE steven! did you find ruby?! STEVEN she’s outside. she’s got something to say to you. SAPPHIRE ruby!! ruby, i’m so sorry!! i should’ve never said those awful things to you— that we didn’t matter anymore— i shouldn’t’ve pushed you away like that. i was wrong! RUBY pa-tooey. nah..you were right. hup! ahh. RUBY someone else told us we were the answer. but…i don’t believe that anymore. at least… not til i hear it from you. sapphire….will you marry me?! SAPPHIRE what?! marry you?! RUBY yeah! this way we can be together even when we’re apart! this time… being garnet…will be our decision! whaddaya say!? SAPPHIRE of course! RUBY yeehaw!! mmnngg. SAPPHIRE i’ve been waiting to kiss your cute face! RUBY woo! hahahaha! AMETHYST psst. it’s me. i’m a horse.
