[Ding!.]
[Chiming.]
Mwah! Happy welcome-back day Ahh! Huh? [Gasps.]
Hello.
Where am I? Who are you? That used to be a loaded question, but now I can say with confidence that I'm Steven Universe, and you're in my bathroom.
What happened to me? Huh? What is this?! You were corrupted in a Diamond blast, but you've just been healed, and that is a plunger.
Let me fill you in on everything you've missed.
Missed? We have some reading material, available in both English and Gem Glyph.
Spanish translation forthcoming.
Watch your head.
[Engine starts.]
Life is a little different these days.
The Diamonds have ended their reign of terror.
The intergalactic war is over, and Earth is officially an independent planet.
We're all safe to explore our dreams.
Lars opened up his own pastry shop, and it's got a real cute space gimmick goin' on.
Sadie's been touring with The Suspects, promoting their new album, and Connie has been getting a head start on college prep.
She's two years away from applying, but she says it doesn't hurt to start early.
And speaking of higher education, Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, and I have been cooking up a dream of our own.
I have no idea who you're talking about.
[Laughing.]
Don't worry about it.
You'll learn all that and more right here at Little Homeschool.
Here at Little Homeschool, you have a chance to rediscover yourself and learn to live on Earth if you like.
You can forge a new identity, grow your own ideas, and even find your inner Morp.
Wait.
What's a Morp? That's exactly the kind of question we love to hear.
[British accent.]
Find your center, your very core.
Remember your body isn't just a projection of light but also a reflection of your inner soul.
Garnet teaches, uh, all sorts of stuff.
[Cellphone rings.]
Hello? Pearl speaking.
- This is HoloPearl.
- Oh, hi, HoloPearl.
To what do I owe the pleasure of your calling? Just calling to see how you are.
That's an example of the use of the human short-range telecommunications device called a phone.
Pearl will teach you all about human technology.
Whose Pearl is that? Mm, that that's not how things work here.
Nobody belongs to anybody.
On Earth, you can decide for yourself what you want to do.
Really? How? Hello.
I'm Professor Amethyst.
Go on, take a seat wherever.
I'll be teaching "How to Decide Stuff for Yourself 101.
" Today's lesson is there is no lesson.
Just do whatever you want for an hour.
Hey, Steven, you want to grab some lunch? Steven: Sure.
Ah.
This school thing's such a cool idea.
I love being a teacher.
No one's ever looked up to me before, you know? Except for, uh widdle baby Steven![Laughs.]
Seriously, dude, it's been going great.
Everyone wants to come and learn how to be an Earthling.
Uh, not everyone.
Pff! Man, forget her.
I don't know.
I I'm worried.
We healed all these Gems and built that town and the school because I wanted to fix some of the bad things the Diamonds did.
Knowing there's someone out there still hurting because of the Diamonds, because of my mom uh, I mean, I know it's not my fault, but if there's a chance I could make it better, shouldn't I try? [Slurping.]
I think you should stop trying to fix everyone.
Yeah.
You're right.
[Insects buzzing.]
[Panting.]
[Whirring.]
Jasper: Hold it.
Ugh! What do you want now?! Jasper.
- I just want to talk.
- Pfft.
So, um, how's it going? I know it's been a while since we last, uh, talked.
Steven: Aw, it's a cute little Why did you do that?! Any Earthling that invades my space gets crushed.
Took forever to yank those puny green Earthlings out of the ground.
You mean grass? I don't know their names! So what's with the rocks? Training.
[Crashing.]
Oh.
I thought maybe uh! maybe you were getting into art? That pile really complements the decor.
[Crashing.]
Okay.
What are you even training for? There's no one left to fight.
There's always someone to fight.
There's just no one left worth fighting.
In that case, maybe you could come join us at Little Homeschool? No.
Come on.
We're all learning and growing together.
[Snorts.]
And and you could be a part of that.
Sounds dumb.
You know, half those Gems are soldiers who fought by your side before they were corrupted and turned into monsters.
They're lost and confused and still a little messed up, but they're getting the help they need.
- So? Who cares? - I do! And if I didn't care, you'd still be a monster, too.
- And what? Now I owe you? - No! You think because you did something I never asked for, - I'm going to obey you? - No! That's not Like all the other Gems, you use.
Aggghhh! I only came here because I felt bad for you, but all of this is your own fault.
All the other Gems were corrupted by the Diamonds, but but you corrupted yourself just to win a fight, which you lost to me! No one's making you stay here all alone in the middle of nowhere ready to fight a war that's been over for years! Are you just gonna sit here for centuries waiting for someone to give you a purpose?! Because I'm trying to give you one! Listen, weakling, you might have Pink Diamond's gem, but you are not my Diamond, and I am not going to take orders from some weak, sappy, useless piece of dirt! If you think you're hard enough to tell me what to do, then fight me and prove it.
Fine! Really? Huh.
Well, then, why don't you throw the first punch? Ugh! Ooh.
[Laughs.]
I guess we're doing this.
Agh! [Panting.]
[Grunting.]
Agh! [Birds chirping.]
No, no, no! Babies! Agh! Ugh! [Chirping continues.]
Yuh! Touchdown.
Ugh! Stop trying to help those tiny, flapping Earthlings and fight me! I'll never stop trying to help them, or you.
Ugh! I don't need your help.
You're the one that needs help.
You think you've beaten me, but you've never beaten me on your own.
You've always been a Fusion.
You've always had your friends because you're nothing without them.
You think everyone needs help.
I I just But it's only you.
No one is as pitiful as you.
Ugh! Uggggggh! Uggggggh! Yah! Whoa.
What? I'm not pitiful! Aah! [Crashing.]
[Laughs.]
Ha.
Not bad.
Hoo! Hoo! Wah! Ugh! Ah! Nice catch.
- You should see my throw! - Oh! [Laughs.]
Agh! Ugh! [Laughs.]
Stop laughing! [Crashing.]
[Gasps.]
- Jasper? - Hmph.
I didn't think you had it in you.
I don't I I don't know what that was.
I'm sorry.
Ugh.
Don't apologize.
I think I had you all wrong.
Maybe you don't have something to learn from me.
Maybe I have something to learn from you.
Would you ever be interested in teaching? - Tssh! At your crummy little school? - No, just me.
You brought something out of me I didn't know I had.
Consider that fight back there your first and only lesson.
Well, can I come back to see you sometime? Do what you want.
Steven: There are fundamental things about ourselves that we know to be true.
It's important to remember those things when you find yourself in a tough situation, or you need to make decisions from the heart, but it's equally important to know that you can surprise yourself, too.
I thought I'd finally figured myself out, but it looks like I still have more to learn.
Man, life is a wonderful mystery.
- Am I right? - Yeah.
So, uh - can you sign off on my class schedule? - Oh, uh, right.
Let me help you with that.
