AMETHYST BLUE_DIAMOND BLUE_DIAOND BLUE_PEARL CONNIE GARNET GEMS JADES JADE_FUSION PEARL PEBBLE STEVEN STEVONNIE WHITE_PEARL YELLOW_DIAMOND YELLOW_PEARL YELOW_PEARL PEARL steven! are you okay? STEVEN yeah…just had a really weird nightmare… PEBBLE pink’s moving again! CONNIE oh, hey! good morning! AMETHYST it’s something with four legs and a lot of cushions on top. PEARL the pebbles have been working all night. what do you think? STEVEN it almost feels like home. GARNET almost. YELLOW DIAMOND a ball? we haven’t had a ball in 6,000 years. BLUE DIAMOND we haven’t had pink in 6,000 years! STEVEN y-yeah! when white shows up, we can tell her why we need her help on earth! BLUE DIAMOND and this could also mark the beginning of era 3! YELLOW DIAMOND you’re right. it’s brilliant. STEVEN thank you, yellow! thank you, blue! BLUE DIAMOND if white is gonna be there, everything has to be perfect. pink, can you manage this on your own? our pearls can help you get started… BLUE PEARL at your service, pink diamond. YELLOW DIAMOND make sure you go over all of our customs with pink since she has so much trouble recalling her past here on homeworld. YELLOW PEARL yes, my diamond! PEARL era 3?! steven, you’re already changing the world! STEVEN yeah! come on, party pearls! YELLOW PEARL we are at your command pink diamond. BLUE PEARL we are at your command pink diamond. STEVEN just call me steven! YELLOW PEARL whatever you command, pink diamond. BLUE PEARL whatever you command, pink diamond. STEVEN balloons, everywhere! confetti cannons too! AMETHYST dibs on being the confetti cannon. YELLOW PEARL cannons are forbidden inside palace walls. these “balloons” you’re referring to are unprecendented and therefore out of the question. STEVEN so…what is precendented and therefore, in the question? YELLOW PEARL you are to sit on your elevated throne. while the members of your court indicate to you that they are present. AMETHYST yikes, that sounds pretty dry. YELOW PEARL liquids are forebidden in the ballroom. STEVEN all right. YELLOW PEARL from here, you can accept or reject the members of your court at your leisure. my diamond, will do the same. as will blue diamond. and if we are so lucky, all of us will enjoy the impeccable judgement of white diamond. STEVEN so when she gets here, i’ll just hop up there and talk to her? YELLOW PEARL oh stars, no! i forgot how silly you can be! everyone stays where they belong! STEVEN oh…so…i-i’ll just wait till i get a chance to talk to her on the dance floor! YELLOW PEARL pink diamond! your subjects will do the dancing for you! why would a diamond want to dance? STEVEN cuz dancing’s fun! YELLOW PEARL what is, “fun…”? STEVEN y’know, it’s when…you do something you wanna do… just because it feels good… YELLOW PEARL i don’t think we do that here… STEVEN well, heh, is there something you really like to do? YELLOW PEARL ohh haha! of course not! my feelings are irrelevant! BLUE PEARL i like to draw…. YELLOW PEARL wh-what? STEVEN can i see some of your stuff? BLUE PEARL umm..here. my diamond allows me to draw during court procedings. they’re nothing much… YELLOW PEARL let me see that! you can’t share these! they’re highly confidential! hmm…not bad. try a different angle! STEVEN that’s it! you like being a model! and you lke being an artist! BLUE DIAMOND pink… BLUE DIAOND why aren’t you getting ready? STEVEN i guess i am ready if all i have to do is sit in a chair! BLUE DIAMOND are you really going to look like this… even at the ball? STEVEN i can’t really help it… BLUE DIAMOND you aren’t thinking of inviting your …”earth friends,” are you? STEVEN why wouldn’t i? STEVEN nnyah. they can’t come? aren’t they my…court or whatever? BLUE DIAMOND pink, quit fooling around! white diamond is going to be there. we have to present her with our best possible selves, just as our gems have to present us with their best possible selves! a ball is a chance to inspire everyone. STEVEN but my friends are super inspiring! they’ll inspire white too! together we can make a case for earth! BLUE DIAMOND very well…you can bring your pearl, of course, and your pet… STEVEN uh…“pet?” CONNIE i think she means me. BLUE DIAMOND as for this faulty amethyst… AMETHYST oh boy, here it comes. BLUE DIAMOND she’ll need limb enhancers to meet her height requirements. the sapphire will need to enter with the other sapphires, of course. and the ruby will need to enter with the guard. STEVEN woah woah woah— ar-are you talking about garnet? BLUE DIAMOND garnet? does that… call herself… a garnet? haha! what would you have her do? enter with the demantoids? the hessonites? the pyropes? pink, i’m being very generous, but you can’t expect me to— GARNET i won’t go. STEVEN garnet! BLUE DIAMOND at least the sapphire in there has some sense. BLUE DIAMOND pink, are you going to ring in the ball? STEVEN what? BLUE DIAMOND oh, i’ll take care of it. i’ll take care of everything. come, pearl! STEVEN garnet… GARNET i’ll find you when it’s over. STEVEN i thought we’d get to do this together! GARNET steven, this is your chance to talk to white. she’s not going to listen to me, but she might listen to “pink.” STEVEN then… she’ll listen when i tell her about you! once i talk to white diamond… i’ll change everything. i promise! JADES pink diamond! it’s wonderful to be in your presence. STEVEN uh…..thank you. JADES woooow! so radiant and sparkling! JADES pink diamond! STEVEN that’s me… your ding dang diamond. GEMS wow! so radiant and exquisite! PEARL steven, you’re doing great! white diamond will be very impressed! STEVEN well she better be. AMETHYST yo! my diamond!
