Night, Peridot.
Nothing left to do but dream.
Hmm.
Ronaldo: Steven! [Pounding on door.]
Steven! Steven! Ronaldo, it's the middle of the night.
You have to come to the lighthouse.
I've found something weird.
You've found something weird every day since my dad got you that telescope.
I know.
I'm amazing.
You won't believe my latest discovery.
There's something on the moon.
Can't you call Nanefua? Not a fourth time.
Hmm.
This is the moon base.
It's always been there.
You have a moon base?! I have so many questions.
One Why didn't you tell me about your moon base? Two Take me to your moon base.
Three Why does it look like a barn? It doesn't look like a Wait, what? ## Lapis? Whoa! Thanks, Lion.
That super warp takes a lot out of you, huh? [Yawns.]
[Yawns.]
You and me both, buddy.
You stay here and rest up, okay? ## ## Why would Lapis bring the Barn to the moon? Thought she wanted to get as far away from Earth as possible.
## Lapis? Lapis Lazuli? This is weird.
All the meep morps are still here, but no Lapis.
Now, what is going on? [Humming in distance.]
## Lapis? ## - Lapis! - [Gasps.]
Steven.
Hup! I can't believe it.
It's so good to see you again.
Oh, really? What's going on? I-I thought you'd be halfway across the galaxy by now.
Aren't you worried about the Diamonds coming to attack? I gotdistracted.
By this orb thing? What is it? Promise you won't judge me.
I sleep with a teddy bear.
No judgments.
Wha Wha-huh? Beach City? Please explain this to me.
This orb is an observation device.
The Diamonds use them to watch activity on their colonies from afar.
Wow.
Can I try? Sure.
Whoa.
But, Lapis, what are you using it for? [Sighs.]
## ## ## You're spying on us? Well, I wouldn't call it spying because that would make me feel bad.
Oh, Lapis.
I couldn't stand not knowing what was going on.
I'm still terrified of the Diamonds coming to Earth, but I got just outside the Milky Way and I felt so lonely.
So why didn't you just come back? I want to, but I just can't, not after the way I left.
What would Peridot say? What if the Diamonds show up? What if something bad happens? Well, what if something good happens? [Laughs.]
Uh, Lapis? You okay? ## It all became so lovely Those bluest skies above me Those funny feelings I had never felt before I met you I thought I'd stay a while I tried to learn to smile So many colors I had never even known Maybe I'll find myself sitting on that distant shore Maybe I'm not alone ## Then I see the colors fading Gentleness of light escaping Shadows of my fear invading Have I seen this all before I know that there's something residing A terror deep inside me I couldn't understand how you could be so bold Maybe I'll find myself smiling on that distant shore Maybe I'm not alone I might have overreacted about the Diamonds.
You really think they're coming? I don't even know anymore.
I've done so much because I was afraid.
I left Peridot behind.
I took the Barn and her morps.
Hey, at least she has Pumpkin.
[Sighs.]
I was so sure the Diamonds would destroy my new home that I did it myself.
It's like I'm back inside the mirror, except I put myself here.
Oh, the moon's not so bad.
Are you kidding? The moon sucks.
There's nothing here.
Maybe I'm tired of running away.
Maybe I'd rather be with everyone and be in danger than be safe and alone.
They'd be glad to have you back.
I don't know.
If I went back now, there's no way things could go back to how they were.
Yeah, but that's all right.
Things would just be different.
What do you mean? Well, what if you weren't way out in the country? You could drop the Barn on the beach.
Then we'd all be neighbors.
I'd come over to borrow a cup of a sugar and you'd be like, "What's that?" [Both laugh.]
[Yawns.]
When you go back, we should all hang out more.
Huh, when I go back.
- This is what you wanted.
- [Gasps.]
Lapis? Blue Diamond: You begged us for a colony of your own, and now all you want to do is be rid of it.
First there were too many Organics.
Then their cities were too difficult to dismantle, and and now these Crystal Gems.
We're tired of your excuses, Pink.
The Diamonds! This Rose Quartz can't hurt you.
You can't be swayed by a few unruly Gems.
Enough.
You must understand, you are a Diamond.
Everyone on this planet is looking to you.
You don't even have to do anything.
Just smile and wave.
Show everyone you're unfazed by this little uprising.
Your gems will fall into line, and these Crystal Gems will be no more.
As long as you are there to rule, this colony will be completed.
## [Gasps.]
## ## Mom's sword? Is that Pearl? [Screams.]
Steven, are you okay? Were you dreaming? II saw the Diamonds.
What? What are you talking about? I dreamt about them.
They were right in this room.
What does that mean? Are they coming? II don't know.
What if they are? What if they're close? Why else would you see them? Steven.
## Ugh! Lapis, hold on! ## Ah! Ahhh! Where are you going? As far from Earth as I can! I'm leaving.
You should be used to that by now.
You don't have to run, Lapis.
Just Just stay with us.
I don't know what I was thinking.
I-I'm not like you and your friends, Steven.
I can't just let go of what happened to me.
I can't go through that again.
Would you rather be alone? - I'm sorry.
- Wait! ## ## Lion, I need you to take me to Pearl.
Night, Peridot.
Nothing left to do but dream.
Hmm.
