[Gasps]

Alright!

Now that I've saved
the universe,

I can finally party!

[Panting]

[Squealing]

Huh?

Hey, guys!

What's the deal?
Let me in!

Cookie Cat: Steven.

No one needs your help,
so why are you still here?

What?

Aaah!

[Gasps]

[Breathing heavily]

Why do I keep having
these horrible dreams?

[Knocking on door]
Peridot: Steven!

Peridot?

Steven, Steven, Steven,
Steven, Steven!

Today is the day!
Did you tape it?

What are you
talking about?

You promised me!

Oh, are you talking about
the reboot

of the classic
great northern teen drama

"Camp Pining Hearts"
that I recorded...

on this tape?

[Gasps, squeals]

Both: The return
of "Camp Pining Hearts"!

You know,
I'm so glad you're here.

I've been having
some weird dreams lately.

Shh! That's great.
Now press play, you monster!

Rodrigo: Oh, Jasmine, I wish
you would fly into my arms,

but every time...

Wha... Wha...

Both:
What have they done?!

What is with
this Rodrigo guy?

He has no charisma!

And can we talk about
this cinematography?

Gahhhh, they've changed
all the characters,

and I don't care
about any of them!

Aah! Yah!

How could you do this
to me?

[Sobbing]

"Camp Pining Hearts"
helped me escape

when everything around me
was in chaos.

"CPH" brought us together.

And now look
at this nightmare!

Steven, you didn't tell me
that they cast you!

What?
They didn't.

I-Is this... my dream from last night?

Aaah!

Whoa! My... My powers must be
interfering with the TV signal!

Steven!

Do you know
what this means?

I have to start wearing
a tinfoil hat?

No! It means that if we can put
your dreams on the television,

we can reboot
the reboot!

Reboot the...

Peridot,
you're a genius!

I know.

And, well, it might be fun
to fix something

that isn't
the entire universe.

Aah! This is going
to be the beginning

of Peridot and Steven
Productions!

Yeah!

So, Peridot, do you think
Jasmine's end game

is Khaz or Rodrigo?

The writers are clearly
trying to railroad us

into a Jasdrigo
partnership,

but, gah, these characters
have no chemistry!

Just can't get into Rodrigo,
can you?

He's so
infuriatingly passive!

Hey, hey, I get that his social
anxiety and poutine allergy

aren't really connected
to the larger story,

but maybe if he just had
some kind of foil?

A foil.

Interesting.

I got it!

A hunky lifeguard friend
with nice muscles

and everyone always wants
to hang out with him.

Despite the blessing
and curse of his popularity,

he still makes time
to help his buddy Rodrigo

with his confidence!

Bold.
I like it!

Good work, Stefan!

Why are you eating
right at bedtime?

Oh, this chili?
[Gulps]

I read that eating spicy foods
before bed

makes your dreams
super vivid.

Huh, I appreciate
your initiative.

Aw, thanks.

Just don't forget.

Action-oriented storytelling.

[Bird screeches]

Hey, Jasmine,
I hear you love birds.

Sure! [Giggles]

Well, a little birdy told me
that downstream,

there's an island
full of rare specimens.

[Gasps]
Did you hear that?

Thanks, Stefan.
You're the best.

Stefan: Hey, Rodrigo.

This is terrible.

Jasmine is in danger!

W-What?

She's headed toward an island
full of dangerous birds!

But if we go downstream,
we can save her!

Okay! Thanks, Stefan.
You're the best.

Thanks, Stefan.
You're such a great guy!

Oh, you're great, too,
you know.

Great enough for Jasmine
to like you.

- What?
- I can tell from the way she looks at you.

[Dolphin chattering]
Huh?

♪♪

- Uhhhhh.
- Stefan!

- What's happening to you?
- Aah!

Aaaah!

Oh, no!
Not again!

[Breathing heavily]

Steven!
You did it!

You just fell asleep
and you started glowing pink.

And then the TV
went on the fritz, and then...

Oh, I'll just show you!

Our script,
our story!

I watched
the whole thing live!

Not sure what you were
going for at the end there.

That was pretty bizarre,
but for a first attempt...

Steven?

Oh, sorry.

Just feeling a little off.

Guess maybe the chili
was a bad idea.

Ehh,
don't worry about it.

Our budget is nothing,
and our schedule is infinite.

That's right.
I can do a re-dream.

We can do as many as we want
until we get it right.

Less talking,
more sleeping.

[Sighs]

[Birds squawking]

Huh?

I've come to the conclusion
that we keep failing

because we're relying
on a script

when we should have taken
a more visual approach.

So I've prepared
this storyboard for you.

You drew all of this
in one night?

Well, duh!
I'm good at everything.

Study these boards in
preparation for this re-dream.

Oh, okay.

Wow, you really
posed this out.

Thank you!

Huh?

Hey, Peridot,
why is Stefan kissing Jasmine?

It's perfect, right?

Just as Rodrigo
is about to swoop in

and save his teenage dream,
he stumbles upon [Gasps] Stefan,

his good friend whom he trusts
so much, kissing Jasmine,

thus stoking the fire
of Rodrigo's jealousy!

I can't do Rodrigo dirty
like that!

Whoa, Steven.
Hold on.

You're talking about them
like they're real people.

It's just a story.

And a story
needs conflict.

No, I can't do this!

Look, Steven,
you seem pretty agitated.

Let's just call
this whole thing off.

- What?
- There's no point if you're gonna get all worked up over it.

[Sighs] I should probably
be getting back

to Little Homeworld
anyway.

No, wait!

I'll do it.

[Bird screeches]

Stefan: Hey, Rodrigo.

This is terrible!

Jasmine is in danger!

W-What?

She's headed toward an island
full of dangerous birds!

But if we go downstream,
we can save her.

Okay! Thanks, Stefan.
You're the best.

Wow.
Stefan is so great.

[Gasps]
What?

Stefan!

How could you?

Uh...

♪♪

Aaaah!

[Breathing heavily]

Peridot?

Peridot!
Come on, we gotta stop!

Are you listening to me?
Why won't you look at me?

[Static buzzing]

[Groaning]

Peridot!

Peridot, where are you?

Peridot!

[ Dance music playing]

♪♪

Peridot!
Wait!

Grr!

Steven: Stop!
Don't go in there!

Please, I still really want
to hang out with you!

Huh?

Peridot!

We've always had something
to fix together!

The Cluster, the Diamonds,
or Spinel!

I don't think I know
how to be a friend

without something to fix!

But I just can't
do it anymore!

I'm so tired.

Now I'm even doing it
in my dreams!

I'm sorry I can't do this
for you!

Please don't leave!

Don't leave.

Peridot: Steven.

Steven!
Steven!

[Sobbing]

Steven,
I saw everything!

It... It's fine!

We don't have to
do this anymore.

I don't care
about the show!

And I definitely don't care
about Rodrigo.

Grr!
I'm such a clod!

But I really wanted
to spend time with you.

I just wanted an excuse
to hang out.

We don't need an excuse
to hang out.

Can we still
watch "CPH" together?

Even if it sucks?

[Chuckles, sniffles]

Of course.

How could you lie to me
like that, Rodrigo?

I guess you just can't help
being a bad person!

[Both laughing]

Jasmine, you just buried a body
in the woods,

and now you're mad
that Rodrigo cheated at cards?

[Both laugh]

- This show is the worst!
- This show is the best.
