Ruby?

Ha! Hoo-whoo! How-ooh!

Hiya!

What a lovely planet!

Wait! So we just get out and walk around?

Ooh! Now, where's the gem the scanners locked onto?

Let's fan out and search the area!

Whoa, look at them all. I knew it. They're after me.

This is the end of the line. You really weren't kidding.

I disobeyed a direct order from Yellow Diamond, and I called her a clod... to her face.

Oh, honestly, you call everyone a clod. Yes, but not everyone has command over all the armies of

Homeworld, waiting for the word to shatter me!

Homeworld, waiting for the word to shatter me!

Peridot, we won't let them get you.

But haven't I caused you enough trouble? Don't worry, Peridot.

It's our sworn duty to protect anything that calls this planet home.

And that includes clods like you.

That's my word.

Listen up, everyone. I have a plan.

Or should I say we have a plan?

Hello, everyone.

Ruby! Sapphire!

Hu-u-u-gs!

Hello, Steven. So, what's the plan?

You got this. Just act casual.

Yeah, casual.

Focus, Rubies!

This is an important mission from Yellow Diamond, so we can't mess it up.

Eh, hey, hey! Uh, what are we all doing over here?

Yeah, what are we all doing here?

We're here to retrieve the leader of the Earth mission!

Hey, wait a second.

It seems like there are more of us than usual.

There's supposed to be five of us. Five Rubies!

One, two, three, four, five.

Never mind. Phew!

The leader of the Earth mission must be around here somewhere.

e eade o t e a t ss o ust be a ou d e e so e e e.

Well, she's definitely not in that barn.

Whoa! I didn't see that before.

Maybe we should look around in there.

I'll go... by myself. Gah!

Bye-bye!

They want to search the barn.

We heard. We saw.

I'm scared. Let's ambush them!

No. No one needs to get hurt. Let's be sensible.

What do I do? Just go out there and tell them this is a place where Humans live.

I don't want to go alone.

Ooh! I'll come. I'll be your backup.

And here's some backup for your backup.

I checked the barn, and I just found a bunch of Humans.

Yep! Nothing in there but us Humans!

Really? Looks like we failed.

Time to go back home.

I think we better double-check.

You remember what happened last time. Last time?

Oh, Ruby, you're so forgetful.

All right, let's search the barn!

- Yes, Ruby! Wait!

You can't bec... because, uh...

You have to, uh... play baseball.

ou a e to, u ... p ay baseba .

Yeah, it's a human thing. If you win, you can go inside.

And if you lose, you got to leave forever.

Base... ball.

Baseball?

I saw that this was a possibility, though I am surprised that this is the path we're taking.

All right, my human baseball knowledge will lead us to victory.

Let's just go out there and pretend to be Humans, except Peridot. You stay here in the barn and

hide.

Okay.

Everybody in? Lapis?

This plan sucks.

We're the Humans! Steven!

Earl! Amy!

Bob! And Sophie!

Understood. Our team is the Rubies, consisting of Ruby!

Ruby! Ruby!

Ruby! Ruby!

And Ruby!

Here's the rules of the game ... we take turns throwing the ball at each other.

The batter tries to hit the ball with the bat, and then they run around the bases.

Whoever gets the most runs wins.

Ah! You get three tries to hit the ball.

If you miss... Strike one!

What?!

Strike two!

Strike three! Three strikes, and you're out.

Oh, darn. Mm, guess I'm out.

Ohh! You swung too slow!

Do it like this!

Hut, hut, hut!

Hut!

And that's called a home run.

If the ball gets caught, you're out.

And if you get tagged, you're out!

Uh, and after three outs, we switch sides.

Whoa-ho-ho!

Nice!

Wow! That purple Human's really good!

Us Humans ... we're full of surprises.

Amethyst, be careful!

Hey, Ruby.

Strike one! Huh?

Haven't I seen you somewhere before?

I don't know. I don't get off planet much.

Strike two!

What's going on? What are they doing?

Flirting. Uh-oh.

Strike three!

Uh... Uh...

U ... U ...

What?!

Yeah!

_

Hey, how's it going? Are we winning?

Um...

Now, what you want to do is lead with your hips.

Yeah. That's pretty good.

Let me show you again.

Well... we're doing just fine.

Everything's gonna be a-okay.

You're lying to me! To make you feel better!

Thank you!

All right, it's the bottom of the ninth.

We've got Lapis on second, but one more out and the game's over for us.

We need to hit a home run.

Wait! I call a time-out!

Listen, you two, I know it's hard being separated, but we have to keep them out of the barn or

they're gonna find Peridot. Remember?

Ruby, stop being cute, and, Sapphire, keep your eye on the ball.

Pun intended? What did I just say?!

Strike one!

Come on! I know you can do it!

Strike two!

Just look at the ball. I'm trying, but all I want to look at is you.

Don't worry, you can look at me when you're running for home.

Whoo-ah-ah!

Yeah!

Come to me!

Whoops. They're Gems!

We've been tricked! What a turn of events!

Uh... Huh? W-What?

Sorry, guys. Game is over.

That's it! Rubies, combine!

Wait! Uh, wait! Stop!

Don't hurt them! Oof! Oof!

Wait. Oh, please, please! It's me you're after, right?

I'm not gonna stand by and let my friends fight my battles!

Aww! Peri loves us.

Are you the Peridot assigned to the failed Earth mission?

Not sure if "failed" would be the right word to ...

Where is Jasper?

You're looking for Jasper? Correct!

Wait, but I'm the one who betrayed the mission, who called Yellow Diamond a clod, the new

leader of the Crystal Gems?

What? Tell us where Jasper is, now!

Jasper ... um, we know where Jasper is.

Well?! Uh...

Neptune! She's on the planet Neptune.

Well, why didn't you say so?

We all here?

1...2...3...4... and ... Ha! ... 5.

To the planet Neptune! Let's move out, soldiers.

What a lovely-sounding planet.

But we just got here. Let's go, newbie!

Thank you.

Man, Rubies are dumb. Not all of them.
