and Steven!
[ Panting ]
Do we really have to
get every piece?
[ Panting,
gasps ]
Yes!
Yes.
Having a wrecked gem ship
lying around is too dangerous.
We've got to take care of it --
all of it.
And we'll need to start looking
for Peridot's escape pod, too,
assuming she even made it
to earth.
We've got lots of work
ahead of us.
On it.
[ Grunts, straining ]
[ Grunts ]
Whoa, that's a big one.
[ Seagulls squawking ]
[ Grunts ]
Jenny: Steven?
Steven?
Steven!
Huh?
Yo.
Hey, Steven.
Welcome back to earth.
What?
Who told you?
You looked
a million miles away, man.
Oh.
[ Chuckles ]
Sorry.
I was zoning out.
We were about to go chill
at a parking lot
and freak out
some squares.
You should come with.
Oh, but I-I don't really have
anything against squares.
I like all basic shapes.
[ Chuckles ]
Yeah.
That's what
I'm talking about.
You got that
much-needed counter-point
to our cynical world-view.
You have to come.
It's good energy flow.
Sorry, guys.
I've got a lot of important
gem work to do.
Maybe later.
Aww.
Bummer.
Well, we'll catch you
later, then.
[ Groans ]
The calluses on my hands
have calluses.
[ Groans ]
The working man's burden is
truly a heavy one.
[ Muffled thump ]
[ Gasps ]
Pizza rain.
But no Pizza clouds.
Wha--
what are you guys
doing here?
And why are you making it
Pizza rain?
I only wanted to see you
laughing...
In the Pizza rain.
Is that a reference
to something?
Come on.
It's time to hang out.
You can't hang out
at night.
Night is for dreaming.
Night's whatever
you want it to be.
Time's an illusion.
Hmm.
Aren't you done working
for the day?
Mm. Yeah, okay.
Let's hang out.
Nice.
But first we need to deliver
the rest of this Pizza
to Mr. Smiley.
[ Rock music playing ]
Whoo!
Wind in your face --
that's what
I'm talkin' about.
Breathe deep, Steven.
This is the smell
of freedom.
[ Inhales deeply ]
Freedom smells
like pepperoni.
[ Laughs ]
That's just the car.
You know what food
definitely doesn't smell
like freedom?
Fish.
Why fish?
Uh-oh. Here we go.
I just
don't get what's wrong
with wanting to be
a deejay.
But my step-dad was all on
my case again today, sayin'...
[ Babbling ]
Ugh.
I'm just like,
"I don't want to be a fisherman.
Everyone knows you can't rave
in a raincoat, step-dad."
At least he only bugs you
about one thing.
My dad's got to say something
about everything I do
'cause I'm the mayor's son.
And I'm like,
"you can't tell me what to do.
I'm the mayor's..."
Wait.
[ Laughs ]
Puh-lease!
You're just walking in cake
with that talk.
You guys don't even know what
bad is until you have a sister.
But I don't know why
I have to spell it out
that I'm the evil twin
and she's the good one.
Don't ask me to help you
with your homework.
I'm at
some metal concert.
Family stuff is tricky.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
A few months back,
my dad and the gems
grounded me from TV.
Bummer.
That's the worst.
No way!
And then I found out
that the gems are alien rebels
and that there are other gems
out in space
that want us dead 'cause
they think we're traitors.
And they tried
to take me hostage
'cause they think
I'm my mom.
And...Maybe I kinda am?
I wish I could talk to Garnet,
Amethyst, and Pearl about it,
but I think they kinda blame me
for my mom not being around.
[ Music stops ]
That's heavy.
I guess.
But you always seem
so upbeat.
You're a real champ,
Steven Universe.
Sour Cream: Yeah, man.
I'd turn to fishing
in a heartbeat
if it meant not dealing
with tha-- that!
[ Tires screech ]
Look at that!
What?!
What did I hit it?
What is it?!
Gloooowing.
We got to check it out.
I'm down.
All right. Hold on.
That's as bright
as like 600 glow sticks.
Peridot's escape pod!
[ Inhales deeply ]
Okay, everybody step back!
This is a gem machine
and could be
extremely dangerous.
Check it out.
What are you doing?
[ Grunts ]
Boom!
Whoa, stop!
Peridot might still
be in there!
Peri-what?
This biz is empty.
[ Chuckles ]
It looks so busted.
You need to get away
from there!
Whoa!
You need to relax.
It's not doing anything.
It's not just the pod.
This means Peridot
is just out there somewhere,
trying to hurt the earth.
Not cool.
Earth forever.
[ Grunts ]
Here come the rocks.
Steven, come take a selfie
with me and this thing.
No, Jenny, I'm serious.
So am I.
Sour Cream,
what about you?
Sure.
I'm down for whatever.
Buck?
Nah.
I like to just experience the
moment for what it is sometimes.
Plus,
the lighting is weird.
Ugh, okay.
Steven? Last call.
Mmmm....
I got funny stickers!
[ Camera shutter clicking ]
[ Laughs ]
These are so good!
How do I look?
You look great!
Look, stay right there.
I wanna take one mor--
[ Gasps ]
Steven, get in it!
W-what?
Just for a second!
One picture.
[ Laughter ]
Okay, ready.
Three, two...
[ Camera shutter clicking ]
Wha--
[ gasps ]
[ Gasps ]
Dude!
Oh, my gosh, Steven!
Wha?
This is so cool!
[ Pod thrums ]
Whoa!
Aah! Whoa!
[ Grunts ]
Jenny: Steven!
Whoa!
How are you doing that?
[ Shakily ] Uh...
[ Gasps ]
I think it listens
to what my hands do.
I really shouldn't be
playing with this.
I have to take this back
to the temple immediately.
No way.
You just got it working!
Come on,
aren't you your own mom?
You can do
whatever you want.
Yeah, you got to do some donuts
in that thing.
At least a dozen.
Baker's dozen.
Seriously, Steven, you've been
under a lot of pressure.
Don't you think you deserve
to have a little fun?
[ Laughter ]
Whoo!
[ Tires squeal ]
Hey!
[ Laughter ]
You really got the hang
of that thing, huh?
[ Laughs ]
Yeah!
It always hooks
to the left.
Whoa!
I should really get it back
to the gems, though.
No!
No!
No, no, no, no.
Or right after
I jump that haystack!
Yeah! Come on!
Yeah! Do it!
Yeah! Do it!
Mess it up!
Wreck it, Steven!
Go, Steven!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah! Whoo!
[ Laughs ]
[ Grunts ]
[ Laughter ]
I'm okay.
[ Chuckles ]
It's not actually so bad
if you just give it a little --
[ gasps ]
[ Pod warbles ]
Aah!
[ Pod thrums ]
Steven?
Aah!
Guys?
[ Gasps ]
Aah!
[ Inhales deeply ]
[ Panting ]
[ Pod warbles ]
[ All screaming ]
Aah!
Steven!
What's going on?
Guys, can you hear me?
[ Gasps ]
I knew it! That flare led us
right to the escape pod!
What's going on here?
Help!
Help us!
Over here!
Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl!
We'll save you,
humans!
Aah!
I can't believe it.
Peridot's still inside.
She's probably weak
from the landing.
Don't hold back.
Got it!
No!
No!
No!
Whoa!
Garnet: You got a lot of nerve
taking refuge here,
of all places!
Garnet?
But I don't know
where you get off
attacking defenseless humans
in your deadbeat escape pod.
Garnet!
It's me, Steven!
Can you hear me?
Garnet!
And if you think you're safe
here, well, I got news for you.
You lost!
Now...
Garnet! Garnet! Garnet!
...stay off my planet!
Stop!
[ Panting ]
Steven's in there.
Pearl: Oh, Steven!
Amethyst: Steven,
what were you doing?!
You found
Peridot's escape pod,
and you didn't
come get us immediately?
Dude,
we almost wrecked you.
Steven,
this is unacceptable.
I'm very disappointed
in you.
[ Sighs ]
You're right.
Hey!
Cut him some slack.
It's not his fault!
Just let him be
a deejay!
Wha?
We just wanted Steven
to have some fun.
I don't know
what's going on with aliens
trying to abduct him
and him being his own mom,
but it sounds like he's got
a lot on his mind.
I'm sure whatever you're
having him do is important,
but everyone needs a break
once in a while.
He's just a kid.
Oh, maybe we have been
a little hard on him.
He did just break us
out of space jail.
Steven.
You're ungrounded
from TV.
