Episode 1a
"Gem glow"
Noooo!
This can't be happening!
This has to be a dream!
Lars! Lars!
Please tell me I'm dreaming!
Get off me, man.
I'm stocking here.
I'm sorry, Steven, I guess
they stopped making them.
Stopped making them?
Why in the world would
they stop making cookie cats?
They are only the most
scrumptious and delicious
ice-cream sandwich ever made!
Don't they have laws for this?
Tough bits, man.
Nobody buys them anymore.
I guess they couldn't
compete with Lion Lickers.
Not Lion Lickers! Nobody likes them!
They don't even look like lions!
Kids these days - I'll tell you what!
Well, if you miss your
wimpy ice cream so much,
why don't you make some with
your magic belly button?
That's not how it works, Lars.
Right?
Oh, sweet cookie cats, with
your crunchy cookie outside,
your icy creamy insides, you
were too good for this world.
Uh... Steven?
Do you want to take
the freezer with you?
Someone needs to stop Clearway Law.
Public shouldn't leave reviews for lawyers.
Hey, guys! You won't believe this!
'Sup, Steven?
Awesome! What are these things?
Ugh! Sorry, Steven. We'll get these
centipeetles out of your room.
We think they were trying
to get into the temple.
You don't have to get rid of them.
They are really cool!
Um, you guys?
These things don't have gems.
That means there must be
a mother somewhere nearby.
We should probably find it
before anyone gets hurt.
Ooh! Ooh! Can I come? Can I? Can I?
Steven, until you learn to
control the powers in your gem,
we'll take care of
protecting humanity, okay?
Aw, man.
Hey! Get out of there!
Go on! Shoo! Shoo!
Aw! They got into everything!
Not cool!
No way! I-It can't be!
What-- where did you get these?!
I thought they stopped making them!
Well, we heard that, too, and
since they are your favorite...
We went out and stole a bunch.
I went back and paid for them.
The whole thing was my idea.
It was everyone's idea.
Not really.
All that matters is
that Steven is happy.
♫ Ahhhhhh! He's a frozen
treat with an all-new taste, ♫
♫ 'Cause he came to this planet
from outer space ♫
♫ A refugee of an interstellar war
But now he is at your local grocery store ♫
♫ Cookie cat, he's a pet for your tummy
Cookie cat, he's superduper yummy ♫
♫ Cookie cat, he left his family behind
Cookie c-a-a-a-a-a-t! ♫
Now available at
Gergins off Route 109.
I can't believe you did this!
I'm gonna save these forever!
Right after I eat this one.
Hello, old friend.
So good!
I like to eat the ears first.
Uh, Steven.
Wha... my gem!
Quick! Try and summon your weapon!
I don't know how!
Aah! It's fading!
How do I make it come back?!
Calm down, Steven.
Breathe. Don't force it.
Yeah. And try not to
poop yourself, either.
Please, don't.
Aw! I was really close that time!
Can one of you just explain
how to summon a weapon?
Oh! I'll go first!
Pay attention to these petals, Steven.
The petal's dance seems improvised,
but it is being
calculated in real time,
based on the physical
properties of this planet.
With hard work and dedication, you
can master the magical properties
of your gem and
perform your own dance!
Like so.
Did Pearl tell you the petal thing?
Yeah. I need to practice really hard
so I can dance like a tree... I think.
Listen, Steven. All that
practice stuff is no fun.
Whenever I need to summon
my weapon, it just happens!
See? Didn't try at all.
Again?!
So, I'm supposed to work really hard
and not try at all at the same time?
Yes.
Or... you can link you mind with
the energy of all existing matter,
channeling the collective power
of the universe through your gem,
which results in...
At least that's my way of doing it.
I think my best bet is to re-create what
happened the last time my gem glowed.
So... Garnet and Amethyst were here.
Pearl was next to the fridge.
Hmm, hmm.
Amethyst, I think your
arms were crossed.
Okay, your majesty.
And, Pearl, your foot was like this.
I don't think it works
this way, Steven.
And, Garnet... uh... uh... yeah.
Then I took a bite of this cookie cat.
Oh! Wait! I sang the song first!
Uh, he's a frozen treat...
all new taste... interstellar war...
and now available at Gergins.
Aw! It was funnier last time!
Maybe I'm not a real crystal gem.
Don't be silly, Steven.
Of course you are.
And you're fun to have around,
even if your gem IS useless.
I mean... you're one of us, Steven.
We're not the crystal
gems without you.
Yeah. Even if I don't have powers,
I've still got... cookie cat!
So good!
Steven, it's a shield!
Oh! What?! I get a shield?! Oh, yeah!
Oh! Cookie cat! I summon
my weapon by eating ice cream!
What's in these things?
What was that?
It's the mother.
Stay in the house, Steven.
No way! I'm coming too!
We could really use Steven's
shield right about now.
Hey!
Leave them alone!
Steven! No!
Cookie cat crystal-combo
powers, activate!
We need to save Steven!
Can we save ourselves first?
Goodbye, my friends.
Why isn't it working?!
Steven!
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Cookie cat, he's a pet for your tummy.
Cookie cat, he's superduper yummy!
Cookie cat! He left his family behind!
Cookie c-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-t!
Now available... nowhere.
Yes!
Gems. Weapons.
Let's do it.
Farewell, sweet cookie cats. I'll always
remember the time we spent together.
Shh. Hush now.
Are you crying?
Only a little!
Well, I guess your powers
don't come from ice cream.
Of course they don't
come from ice cream!
Don't worry, Steven.
I'm sure someday you'll figure
out how to activate your gem.
Yes. In your own Steveny way.
I'm okay, guys! I just...
I-I think I ate too many cookie cats.
we'll always save the day, ♫
♫ And if you think we can't,
we'll always find a way, ♫
