05x27 - Together Alone

[bunniefuu]

- Garnet: We - Are the Crystal - Steven: Gems - we'll always save the day Steven: and if you think we can't All: we'll always find a way - that's why the people - of this world Garnet: believe in Garnet - Amethyst - and Pearl Steven: And Steven! [Whimsical orchestral music]

[Dramatic music]

[Whimsical music resumes]

[Both laugh]

[Coughing]

[Pink Pearl's laughter echoes]

[Suspenseful music]

[Coughing]

Blegh! [Gasps]

- Steven, are you okay? - Yeah Just had a really weird nightmare.

Pink's moving again! Oh, hey.

Good morning.

Amethyst: It's something with four legs and a lot of cushions on top.

The pebbles have been working all night.

What do you think? - It almost feels like home.

- Almost.

A ball? We haven't had a ball in 6,000 years.

We haven't had Pink in 6,000 years.

Steven: Yeah.

When White shows up, we can tell her why we need her help on Earth.

And this could also mark the beginning of era three.

You're right.

It's brilliant.

Thank you, Yellow! Thank you, Blue! 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.

At your service, Pink Diamond.

Make sure you go over all of our customs with Pink since she has so much trouble recalling her past - here on Homeworld.

- Yes, my diamond.

Era three? Steven, you're already changing the world.

[Chuckling]

Yeah.

Come on, party pearls! Pearls: We are at your command, Pink Diamond.

Just call me Steven.

Whatever you command, Pink Diamond.

Steven: Balloons everywhere.

Confetti cannons, too.

Dibs on being the confetti cannon.

Cannons are forbidden inside palace walls.

These balloons you're referring to are unprecedented and therefore out of the question.

So, what is precedented and therefore, in the question? You are to sit on your elevated throne while the members of your court indicate to you that they are present.

Yikes.

That sounds pretty dry.

- Liquids are forbidden in the ballroom.

- All right.

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.

So, when she gets here, I'll just hop up there and talk to her? Oh, stars, no! I forgot how silly you can be.

- Everyone stays where they belong.

- Oh.

So I-I'll just wait till I get a chance to talk to her - on the dance floor.

- Pink Diamond! Your subjects will do the dancing for you.

Why would a diamond want to dance? - 'Cause dancing's fun.

- What is, "ffffun"? You know, it's when you do something you want to do, just because it feels good.

I don't think we do that here.

Well, is there something you really like to do? Oh.

Of course not.

My feelings are irrelevant.

- I like to draw.

- W-What?! - Can I see some of your stuff? - Um here.

My diamond allows me to draw during court proceedings.

They're nothing much.

Let me see that.

You can't share these.

They're highly confidential.

Hmm.

Not bad.

Try a different angle.

[Laughs]

That's it.

You like being a model, and you like being an artist.

[Pearls laughing]

- Blue Diamond: Pink? - [Gasps]

Why aren't you getting ready? I guess I am ready if all I have to do is sit in a chair.

Are you really going to look like this? - Even at the ball? - I can't really help it.

You aren't thinking of inviting your Earth friends, are you? Why wouldn't I? All: Steven! [Grunts]

They can't come? Aren't they my court or whatever? 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.

But my friends are super inspiring.

They'll inspire White, too.

Together, we can make a case for Earth.

Very well.

You can bring your pearl, of course, and your pet.

- Uh, pet? - I think she means me.

Blue Diamond: As for this faulty amethyst Oh, boy.

Here it comes.

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.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

A-Are you talking about Garnet? Garnet? Does that call herself a garnet? - [Laughs]

- 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 - I won't go.

- Garnet.

At least the sapphire in there has some sense.

[Growls]

[Sighs]

Pink, are you going to ring in the ball? - What? - Oh, I'll take care of it.

I'll take care of everything.

Come, Pearl.

- Garnet - I'll find you when it's over.

I thought we'd get to do this together.

Steven.

This is your chance to talk to White.

She's not gonna listen to me, but she might listen to Pink.

Then she'll listen when I tell her about you.

Once I talk to White Diamond, I'll change everything.

I promise.

[music]

[Vocalizing]

Jades: Pink Diamond! It's wonderful to be in your presence.

Uh, thank you.

Wow.

So radiant and sparkling.

Pink Diamond.

That's me, your ding dang diamond.

Wow.

So radiant and exquisite.

Steven, you're doing great.

White Diamond will be very impressed.

- Well, she better be.

- Yo! My Diamond! Amethyst! Is it okay if I say hi? We're starting soon, but if you're quick about it - Thanks, Pearl.

- Steven.

- Huh? - Your manners.

Oh.

Right.

Amethyst, it is good to see you.

Good to see you, my diamond.

Sorry you have to wear those limb enhancers.

Not sure how Peridot put up with these things, but I'm getting used to it.

Yo, check out this cool party trick I taught myself.

Aha.

[Laughs]

Amethyst, come on.

I know.

This is a serious party.

Anyway, I'm gonna go mingle with some, uh, quartzes.

Hi.

How's it going? [music]

I really hope this works out, Connie.

[Gasps]

Ruby and Sapphire are here.

When I told Garnet I still wanted her to come, I-I hope she didn't think I meant I wanted her to split.

I'm sure she just wants to support you in any way she can.

Yellow Pearl: Everyone, behold.

The daunting beauty and elegance that is Yellow Diamond! [music]

Not a bad turnout, Pink.

I appreciate your attendance, Yellow.

Blue Pearl: Ahem.

Everyone, prepare yourselves emotionally for the overpowering elegance that is Blue Diamond.

[music]

You're doing great.

Thank you, Blue.

Hmm.

To those in attendance of the era three ball [Drumroll]

White Diamond has more important things to attend to.

- What?! - Therefore I will be here to observe in her place.

- Welcome to era three.

- Ugh! [Vocalizing]

[Sighs]

I made everyone do this, and it's somiserable.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! - Steven - Don't you mean Pink Diamond? Of course I don't.

Come on.

Do you want to dance? - Yeah, but I'm not supposed to.

- It's your party.

- But White expects me - She's not here.

[Grunts]

[music]

Everybody's staring.

Since when does that bother you? I'm sorry, everyone.

Uh Steven, we're gonna be okay.

I'm here.

Look at me.

We'll get through this together.

[Laughs]

- [Laughs]

- Yeah.

Yeah, that's it.

[Laughs]

- Pink, what are you doing? - I was just dancing.

[Gasps]

[music]

Pink, this is completely unacceptable.

Unfuse or I'll make you! - You'll have to go through me.

- [Gasps]

And me.

Yeah.

And me.

I knew it.

I knew I couldn't be the only one.

Aah! - Opal! - Aah.

Garnet! Pink, you've gone too far, even for you.

- Stay in here and think about what you've done.

- No.

Wait!
