And Steven!
Did you see that?
Wapoosh!
Just wapoosh!
That's great, Amethyst.
You're getting so fast.
No! This is worse!
This morning, it was like wsshh!
Just wsshh! Superfast,
like wsshh, wsshh!
Uh-huh.
I think this is why
a day off would be good for you.
You should take a break
from obsessing over Jasper.
Ugh, are you sure
we have to do this now?
Yes!
Visiting Peridot and Lapis
will be so much fun!
Yeah, 'cause when I think
"fun," I think Lapis.
I wonder what they're up to.
Maybe they
drove each other crazy
and burnt the barn down.
Whoa.
They sure did something
to the barn.
But, Paulette, I need you.
Oh, get over it, Percy.
Go make another
friendship bracelet.
Seriously.
Lapis, Peridot, hi!
Steven!
It's so good to see you again!
You, too, Lapis.
Amethyst!
Something looks
different about you.
Like what?
Have you grown taller
since the last time I saw you?
Nope, still short.
You're welcome.
For the joke.
Wow. You guys
are looking good.
And I love what you did
to the barn.
Aw, I know.
But wait, wait!
You guys have to see the inside!
Lapis, fly us in!
No.
Welcome to our home
away from Homeworld.
Whoa!
You made the wall an aquarium!
Eww!
You did all this stuff
on purpose?
Like, you didn't just
knock over a bunch
of paint cans and go,
"Enh, just leave it"?
Oh, no. This was all
very intentional.
You see, I had this idea:
"What if we made music,
but, instead of sounds,
we used things?"
That's dumb.
Guys, that's art!
Art?
That sounds ridiculous!
I've been calling it meep morp.
Let us show you our morps.
This piece is called
Wow, Thanks.
It represents the struggles
of intercommunication.
The tape is the ribbon
that binds
our experience
on Earth together.
It has no functional purpose.
It just makes me feel bad.
Here's my meep morp.
This is a baseball bat.
It reminds me of when
I played baseball.
This is the leaf Steven gave me.
It reminds me of the time
Steven... gave me a leaf.
Hey, yeah, it reminds me
of that, too!
I just feel trapped.
I just feel trapped.
Is this one about
the thousands of years
you spent trapped in a mirror?
No.
I just really like that show.
Oh, Amethyst,
you'll love this one.
Check it out.
They're toilets?
Right!
What will I think of next?!
This represents the time
I spent imprisoned
in your bathroom, Steven.
I call it Occupied.
It's a collaborative piece.
It's amazing.
I don't get it.
What's there to get?
It's water!
Shooting out of toilets!
I can see that at home.
All right. I see
you're not impressed.
But this... hold on.
This... this is what we've
all been waiting for.
With the power
of my metal abilities,
I will impress the shirts
right off of you!
Ta-da!
It's a one-Gem metal band.
One, a-two, a-three, and...
Welp, that's as far
as I've practiced that.
Why don't you try
one thing at a time?
Because we have guests, Lapis,
guests who must be impressed!
Hmm.
We can try it together.
Yeah.
♪
Isn't this great?
No.
Look at all this cool
stuff they're doing.
This is all nothing!
They've been out here
playing with garbage.
But you love playing
with garbage.
Not anymore.
Who has time for any that
when Jasper is out there?!
♪
Ah, Amethyst,
I, uh, try not
to use the J-word
so loosely around here.
I'm gonna go do
something useful.
Wow, Amethyst doesn't seem
to understand morps at all!
No, it's something else:
Amethyst found out
she's supposed to be
just like Jasper.
Meh?
Jasper took her down
in a fight and, now,
she's obsessed with
getting a rematch,
to prove she's good enough.
Hmm.
Amethyst, Ams, Big A.
You are way better than Jasper.
What?
Oh.
What did you tell her?
I, uh...
What are you even doing,
comparing yourself to her?
Oh, Amethyst, that's ridiculous.
I should call you
Ridiculousthyst.
Hah! Yah!
I mean, seriously,
Amethyst and Jasper
are two completely
different Quartzes.
Sure, you're both from Earth,
but your Kindergartens
are radically different.
What?
Hold...
Hold on. What?!
We're both from Earth?
Well, sure.
Amethyst, you're from
the Prime Kindergarten,
in Facet 5.
She's from the Beta
Kindergarten, in Facet 9.
Have you seen that place?
No!
Oh. Well, maybe you should,
so you could see
how the other half was made.
Poorly!
No, seriously.
Let's go.
You'll get a kick out of this.
That's your problem, Paulette.
You let yourself
become the kayak race.
Cold.
Um, just one second.
I want to check and make
sure Lapis is okay.
Hey, Lapis!
Are you okay-y-y?!
Yeah!
Are you sure?
Yeah!
I'm leavin', but I'll be back!
Okay!
Do you need anything?!
No!
What season is that?!
3!
Peridot, let's go.
Okay, yeah.
Business time.
You know what to do with this!
Here we are, Jasper's origin:
the Beta Kindergarten.
Am I underwhelmed?
It's pretty bright out here.
It's red.
No kidding.
Red sandstone! Ha!
This is what I'm talking about.
We're lucky this place
hasn't blown away.
Beta, am I right?
That's a math joke, right?
Come on.
It get's worse.
I mean, this place
has got the right
growing conditions, in a pinch,
I guess, but it's too small!
It was obviously
a total rush job.
A rush job?
Halfway through the rebellion,
Homeworld scrambled to generate
extra soldiers on the ground.
The holes don't even line up!
It's like they just
threw injectors down wherever.
Oh, and that one?
This Carnelian
came out sideways.
How could she not?
The walls are curved!
What a joke.
Man, I-I had no idea.
I tell you, it really
makes you appreciate
the Prime Kindergarten,
Amethyst.
Your Kindergarten
was so thought-through.
Sure, you might've spent
extra time in the ground,
but everything else
is stacked in your favor:
great location, great holes,
even spacing, consistent depth.
A real Kindergartener
gets it right.
What happened to this injector?
What you want to see is
a vertical alignment;
no angle in the exit;
a clean, strong silhouette.
None of these holes come close!
What about that one?
Jasper.
This is Jasper's hole?
It's huge!
Oh, come on.
We already know she's tall.
Let's take a closer look.
A Kindergartener
can tell a lot...
Anh!... about a Gem's
makeup and...
Uh!... flaws
by their exit marks.
Steven.
Oh.
Ah!
Oof!
Thanks.
Agh!
You see, the problem here...
Wait.
Oh, wait. Oh.
No, um...
Now this part...
Hmm.
There's this thing where,
if you count the steps
to the back, I can...
What is it?
She's even got
frictional rock melt.
It's glass all the way
to the back.
Actually, I, uh...
I've never seen
an exit hole this perfect.
Ugh.
So it is true.
Amethyst, that doesn't matter.
Who you are isn't
about where you came from;
it's who you want to be!
It's what you've
worked hard for.
It's what you care about.
That's what really matters.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're right!
Yeah! Yeah!
It's about who I wanna be.
Yeah! Yeah!
And I wanna be the Gem
that beats Jasper into the dirt!
Yeah!
- Huh?
Wait, no!
Don't fight her!
Are you not seeing this?
She's the ultimate Quartz!
I'm doin' it, yeah,
and not just for me,
for all the weird
holes out here,
like this guy,
and skinny up there,
and... and...
And this mess!
Amethyst, that's...
Yeah, ha!
I bet she was great.
No.
No, no, no, hold on.
Something's really wrong here.
These marks are new.
This hole's been
dug out, recently.
Maybe it was a prairie dog?
A... really big one?
Hmm.
There's more!
Whoa.
These aren't exit holes anymore.
Then what are they?
Aah!
Steven!
Corrupted Gems, in cages?
Why?!
Who would do this?!
That's who.
Jasper.
