1x23 - "Monster Buddies"
- All right, everyone.
- One more attack should do it.
Yikes! Your arm!
Now there's nothing
standing between us
- and the Shooting Star.
- This job is really dangerous.
Whoa! Geez!
- Wha... whoa, mama!
- Amethyst!
Don't worry. I'll get you out.
We've got to get
Steven out of here!
I'm sending you back
to the temple.
But, Garnet, how are
you gonna ...
Huh?
- You can bubble me?
- Garnet, no!
Garnet!
Watch your head.
Whoa!
I'm back inside the temple.
Look at you now, stuck in a bubble.
Hmm.
Let me see if I can...
Yeah!
Wha...? Ugh! Whoa!
Wha!
Whew.
Huh?
Oh, man.
What's happening?!
The Centipeetle!
Eh...
Huh?
It looks... so scared.
Uh... Hi.
Aw, it's okay.
Look, please don't be
scared of me.
See? I'm not gonna hurt you.
Yeah. Just relax.
Yeah. That's it.
Doesn't relaxing feel nice?
You want to... come over
here and relax with me?
Yeah, we can totally
just hang out right here on the floor.
Yeah. Don't be shy.
We can be friends.
- My name's Steven.
- Steven!
- Get away from that thing!
- Whoa, dude!
Wait! It's not ...
This was a terrible
idea. And he's even
managed to pop a bubble
and let out that awful...
thing!
If that thing hurt
you, so help me, I'll ...
No!
It didn't do anything!
Garnet!
Don't hurt it!
I accidentally let it
out of its bubble, but it
didn't even try to hurt
me. It's not like the other
monsters.
It's just scared and confused.
Please, Garnet, I'm begging you.
I can't say no to
that face.
Excuse me?!
You can't be serious!
I think you should
try and tame it, Steven.
Garnet, thank you so
much!
Hmmm.
Shut down by the G-squad!
Well, let's at least
take some precaution.
All right, Steven,
let's see if you can get it
- to calm down.
- Um...It still seems a little scared.
Maybe you guys could
put your weapons
- away and watch from the house...?
- Absolutely not!
Steven can handle this.
- Garnet!
- Pearl.
Oh!
You just got Garneted!
Okay, friend, it's
just us now.
Calmy calm. Calm.
Just like before. Yeah.
Just relax and let your hair down.
You want to come over here?
Huh? Don't worry.
It won't be like before.
How about we try something else?
Hmm...
Oh! What's this?
Chiiiiips?
You like chiiips?
You want a chiiips?
Yeah? Yeah?
Aw, look at this chiiiip.
Yum, yum, yum!
Mmmm! Tasty, tasty!
Hmm? Try it.
That's it.
Smells good, right?
I don't know how you
eat with an eyeball in your
mouth, but I'm glad you like it.
Hmm? Hmmm?
Huh?
Whoo-hoo!
Hey, come on!
♪ You love chips ♪
♪ and I love chips ♪
Yeah!
Shoo! Get!
Those aren't for you!
Huh?
W-What are you doing?
You... saved me.
But we have to go back
for the Shooting Star.
Garnet! Pearl!
- Amethyst!
- Whoa!
Why isn't that thing on its
rock?
I trained her up. Look!
Squaaawk!
Squawk!
- Squawk!
- Steven, you can't
just ...
that was awes...
- Whooo!
- No! Mi torta!
Steven, this is unacceptable.
Aw, come on, Pearl.
She can help us on, like,
- missions and stuff.
- Oh, no.
- Out of the question.
- Aww.
Well, we can't return to the ice
cavern now.
We have to stay and deal with
- Steven and his... situation.
- Well, I don't know how we're
gonna get through all
those ice boulders without
- causing a cave-in anyway.
- Hmm.
That's how.
- I just don't know if this will work.
- Squawk!
All right, Centipeetle!
Shooting Star, here we come.
Whoa.
Squawk!
Squawk!
- Whoa!
- Oh, my.
- Whoa.
- Cool!
There it is ...
the Shooting Star!
An ancient elemental
so hot and so volatile,
it can only be contained in ice.
- Bare skin cannot endure its intensity.
- What do you do
- wih a Shooting Star?
- Uh, you shoot it.
Garnet, you'll need to use your
gauntlets so as not to hurt your hands.
No! No, no! Not now!
Something's wrong.
Whoa!
Steven!
I knew this would happen!
Pearl, stop!
It was an accident!
- Sorry for pulling.
- Steven!
No!
Stop!
You don't need to fight!
This isn't you.
You're not a monster anymore.
You're more than that.
We have so many memories now.
Remember the chip times?
And how you saved me
from that vicious seagull?
And how we became best friends?
You have to remember!
This all happened today!
Huh?
Nooooo!
Nooo!
- You saved me.
- Steven, you did a
good job training the Centipeetle.
Your mother would be so proud.
- She would?
- The truth is, Rose Quartz
had tried to use her
powers to save these monsters,
too, but she was never able to
heal them.
Never?
But if she couldn't do it...
Who knows?
Maybe when you have better
control of your powers, you
might help them in ways
- even your mother couldn't.
- Even this one.
I'll keep it safe.
- Wow!
- Steven! You can bubble gems!
Wow.
Wait for me, Centipeetle.
I promise I'll heal you up someday.
Ooh! Wait!
