[bunniefuu]

- # We # - # are the Crystal # - # Gems # - # we'll always save the day # and if you think we can't we'll always find a way - # that's why the people # - # of this world # - # believe in # - # Garnet # - # Amethyst # - # and Pearl # And Steven! Stupid broken warp.

First the communication hub.

Now this is busted again.

These Crystal Gems are a menace.

Oh, aha! Look! I was right! - My plan worked perfectly.

- Good morning.

What? How did you know I was here? We found a secret way to track you and we'll never tell you how even if you ask nicely.

Nyeh! - Peridot! We're here to - And you'll never get away with this! Don't you Gems have anything better to do than annoy me? - Nope.

We're gonna - Prepare to be annoyed.

I don't have time for this! This planet has an expiration date, and I'm not gonna stick around to find out when! Wha? Uh - That's it.

I'm taking her out.

- Pearl, wait! Ha! Sorry.

But you're going the wrong way! Get her! You missed.

- Pearl! - Huh? Ah, doesn't anything work on this cruddy planet? - I do! - Huh? Ow! Amethyst, catch! Destroy! I got her! I got her! I got her! - Pearl! Oh, get off me! - I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Wow.

This is just sad.

I almost feel sorry for you.

Nyeh! Have a great weekend.

I mean, I hope her weekend is not so great? Okay, I realize that was a bit of a fiasco.

But there's a silver lining to this.

Now we know for sure that we can track her every movement.

Whenever she uses the warp system, her escape pod will instantly detect exactly where she is.

It's only a matter of time until we catch her, and when we do, we'll be able to close this chapter and finally move on, right? Isn't there something that maybe the two of you might need to talk about? It's Peridot.

She's using the warps right now.

Look.

This is where she is.

We got her for sure this time.

If she thinks she's got the upper hand, then she has another thing coming, and that's us.

- Well, at least Pearl's optimistic.

- It won't help.

She could hand Peridot over on a silver platter, but it won't make up for the stunt she pulled to get Garnet to fuse with her.

Steven, let's go.

- Whoa.

- Ha! She's desperate.

Look at this.

She's cornered herself in there.

Hmm.

We've got her just where we want her.

- What is - Excellent question, Steven.

What we see before us is an ancient interplanetary Gem vessel.

Homeworld Gems used these ships to travel across the cosmos and land here on Earth before the warp pads were built.

But these ships landed here so long ago that there's no way they can be functional.

Peridot's running out of options.

Pearl, we can't waste time.

- Let's focus on the task at - Ah, yes.

The task at hand.

No more doddling.

Let's go get Peridot! It's more like a greenhouse than a spaceship.

Looks like Earth won this battle.

Oh.

You Gems really are as dull as dirt.

You're the dull one if you think you can fly this wreck.

What? Can you speak louder? Some of these communicators are gunked up.

Pearl says you're the dull one if you think you can fly this wreck.

Fly this wreck.

Fly? I'm not using this vessel to fly.

I'm using it to trap you! Isn't this nice? No more Crystal Gems running around, messing with my plans, destroying my things.

Looks like I've got you just where I want you.

How does it feel to be so easily outsmarted, you clods?! - No.

- Hey, uh this is Amethyst.

I don't appreciate being called a clod, you clo Enough talk.

Prepare yourselves for annihilation! Hyah! Hyah.

Aha! It works.

Yes! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Hey, guys, over here.

This way.

You're on fire, Steven! That's three shields in one day.

Not too shabby! Move! Spikes! How do you like my spikes?! - Peridot! - Pearl, don't just You idiot.

- Pearl, stop.

That isn't helping.

- I have to do something.

I can't believe I walked us right into Peridot's trap.

This is all my fault? Huh? Huh? - I got you, Steven.

- Thanks, Amethyst.

Garnet and Pearl.

Are you guys okay? We're fine.

Crud.

We've got to get them out.

Amethyst, what should we - Garnet, I'm sorry.

- Wait a sec.

Things weren't supposed to turn out this way.

We'll get out of here somehow.

That's not what I mean.

I really wanted to catch Peridot to make up for what I did.

I wanted to prove to you that that everything could go back to normal.

Catching Peridot won't make things go back to normal.

This isn't about Peridot.

Hey, they're actually talking.

Now they can finally work things out.

Not if they get crushed! Please tell me! How can I make you forgive me?! You can't.

You lied to me.

You need to learn that there are consequences to your actions.

I'm sorry.

I I couldn't help myself.

- I don't want to hear your excuses.

- But it's true.

No matter how hard I try to be strong like you, I'm just a Pearl.

I'm useless on my own.

I need someone to tell me what to do.

When we fuse, I can feel what it's like to be you.

Confident and secure and complete.

You're perfect.

You're the perfect relationship.

You're always together.

I just I wanted to be a part of that.

You're wrong.

I'm not as strong as you think.

I-I fell apart over this.

Ruby and sapphire were in turmoil over how you deceived me.

I came undone.

- Whoa.

That really happened? - Hmm.

It's not easy being in control.

I have weaknesses, too, but I choose not to let them consume me.

I struggle to stay strong because I know the impact I have on everyone.

Please understand, Pearl, you have an impact, too.

There are times when I look up to you for strength.

You are your own Gem.

You control your destiny.

Not me, not Rose, not Steven.

But you must choose to be strong so we can move forward, so I can trust you again.

I understand.

I can't give up anymore.

Good.

Pearl, there's only one way out of this.

- Only if you're okay with it.

- Mm.

What do we do?! What do we do?! What do we do?! What do we do?! Stupid button here.

I don't know what anything is Blast this old Gem tech! Where did they go? Why isn't anything working?! Surrender, Peridot.

You have nowhere to run.

The Crystal Gems are gonna get you.

You really think this is the end? This This is only the beginning of my escape.

Well, I'd love to stick around and watch another one of your pathetic attempts to capture me, but I guess I'm just too smart for the likes of you lumpy, clumpy clods.

- What the? - I caught a Peridot.

Hey, get your touch stumps off me, you Steven.

- Hey! - Yeah, Steven! Don't let her go.

Let go of me! You You persistent, little whatever exactly you are! Peridot, your flight's been canceled.

No! You'll pay for this, Crystal Gems.

I'll get you back.

Just you wa-a-a-it! - Pearl? - It's okay, Steven.

Next time, we'll get the rest of her.

Right, Garnet? - It's a good step forward.

- Foot joke! Finally.
