"Rocknaldo"
Synchronized by srjanapala

[ Sighs ] Space is great,

but nothing beats
some good ol' atmosphere.

Ronaldo: The horror! The terror!

Protect yourself against the menace

that threatens Beach City!

Protect yourself
against the menace

that threatens Beach City?

Mr. Smiley, protect yourself
against the menace

that threatens Beach City?

I'll protect myself
from the menace

that threatens Beach City.



Steven! I knew I could count on you!

Let's get knowledgeable!

"How to Protect Yourself
Against Rock People"?

What?

"Alien entities walk among us"?

"They're adding mind-controlling
minerals to our water suppl..."

"They hate men"?!

Protect yourself
against the menace that...

Ronaldo! Wait! What is this?

Well, technically,
it's an infozine pamphlet,

but I've been calling them
Ronalphlets.

I get that part.

I'm talking about
all this mean stuff

you're saying
about the Crystal Gems!

No, no, no.
Crystal Gems aren't Rock People.

Crystal Gems fight Rock People.

See my documentary...
"Rising Tides, Crashing Skies."

Crystal Gems don't just fight
Rock People. We are Rock People!

Also, don't say "Rock People."
It's offensive.

Rock People are different,
obviously.

For starters, they have rocks
embedded in their bodies.

Like this?

But they can summon weapons

from the Mud Dimension.

[ Warble ]

No, no, you're not getting it.

They can alter their forms.

That's how they trick humans
into loving them!

[ Meows ]
Awwww!

Wait a second.

You're a rock person?!

I'm a Crystal Gem, Ronaldo.

[ Yowls ]

And you're not wrong
about everything.

We're just ignored
and misunderstood.

I'm so glad you're the only one
that took a Ronalphlet!

I'm so sorry!

[ Crying ]

Hey, it's okay.

Everyone makes mistakes.

Just as long as you realize
that the Crystal Gems and I

aren't that different from you.

Right.
Thanks, Steven.

I gotta go...
rethink some things.

"I'm shutting down my blog,"
blah blah blah,

"social media," blah.

"I may never come back
to the Internet!"

[ Chuckles ]
Whoa, dude.

I suppose it's a good thing

that he's taking time to think.

There's a new post.

- Hmm.
- It's a video.

Good day, loyal followers
of Keep Beach City Weird.

I've come to you today
because I pride myself

in bringing you the truth

about all the weird stuff
in Beach City

The Man doesn't want you
to know about.

But today, I need to tell you
some truths about this man!

I've mixed up
what is right and wrong

and ended up saying
some pretty mean things

about the Crystal Gems.

I feel terrible about my mistake

because I know more than anyone
what it's like

to do thankless work
and to be an outsider!

That's why I'm joining
the Crystal Gems!

[ Snorts, laughs ]
What?!

[ Pounding on door ]

Steven!

Ronaldo!

Guess what!

You want to join
the Crystal Gems?

[ Gasps ]
I thought you'd never ask!

You know, I always felt
strangely at home here.

Unh-unh. No.
You are not living here.

And you certainly can't join
the Crystal Gems.

But...
You don't have a gem.

Your body is organic.

My body's organic,
and I'm a Crystal Gem.

You're going to entertain this?

We're all different, but we love
and accept each other.

That's what Crystal Gems do.

And isn't it great that someone

is actually interested
in what we do?

What better way
to show him what we're about

than to accept him
as a Crystal Gem, too?

Uhhh...

Let's do this!

Well, it's not the strangest
houseguest we've had.

So, when do I get issued my gem?

Ohhhh. It doesn't really...
uh... eh...

But if you had a gem,
what would you want it to be?

Well, I care so much,

I think it'd be, like,
deep in my heart.

Or like a million tiny gems,

like one crushed-up gem
coursing through my blood,

like... like...
Bloodstone!

Perfect!
That's your Crystal Gem name.

Wait! Check it out!

I have a gem weapon now, too!

Wow! A sword!

I got it at Delmarva Con
last year.

It's a replica from the anime

"I Can't Believe
My Stepdad's My Sword."

It can cut through
a carton of milk

like a carton of butter!

There's a half-full juice box
by the TV.

Huhhhh...

Ahhhh!

Nice! That star
looks good on you.

[ Warble ]
Thanks.

Mission time!
Awesome!

Let me grab my katana
from upstairs.

[ Grunting ]

[ Wheezing, panting ]

I'm gonna take the stairs.

Uh, I'm sorry, Bloodfry.

You're going to have to
sit this one out.

It's a bit dangerous.

But Steven gets to go.

Steven is different.

He's been training with us
for years.

Steven:
Don't worry, Bloodstone.

I didn't get to come along
at first, either.

We can start your training soon.

Be back in a bit!

[ Warble ]

But...
I'm a Crystal Gem, too.

Um... hi, Bloodstone.

Oh. Hi, Steven.
Didn't see you there.

So... how'd the mission go
without me holding you back?

Uh, it went fine.

You know, the usual...

fighting monsters,
sharing emotions.

I'm glad you didn't get hurt...
with me not there.

Yeah.

Well, I'm heading out.

And you're going out like that?

Uh... like what?

Well, I just think
a real Crystal Gem

would want to show off
their gem, like, all the time.

If I had a gem,
I'd show mine off.

Female voice [ Calmly ]:
You are in a quiet forest.

The trees are quiet.
The sky is quiet.

A small rabbit begins to sing.

Ahhhh...

- Ronaldo: Rahh!
- What the...

[ Inhales deeply ]

[ Grunts ]

[ Sighs ] Bloodstone,
I know you want to train,

but it's bedtime.

Funny that you... sleep,
when gems don't need sleep.

Why is that?

I... I don't know.

Because I'm half human,
I get tired and I...

Huh. Well, I'm two halves human,
and I'm not...

[ Yawns ]

tired at all.

[ Clatter ]

Ever since
I became a Crystal Gem,

uh... sleeping...
[Chuckles]

I don't...

do it.

That's great, Bloodstone.

What a cool name.

I'm so cool.

Bye, Connie! See you tomorrow
for sword training!

Aah!

Her gem weapon's a sword, huh?

She totally
ripped that off from me.

What?! That sword
belonged to my mom!

How come I don't get
your mom's gempon?

That's "gem"
and "weapon."

Well, Connie's been
a part of the Crystal Gems

longer than you, so...

Admit it... She's just in
because she's your girlfriend.

What are you talking about?!

She doesn't even live here!

I'm here all the time!

Look at that quality groove
I've established!

If she was a real Crystal Gem,

she'd be a little bit
more dedicated!

Are you serious?!

Bloodstone,
ever since you got here,

all you've done
is boss me around!

Who are you to tell anyone
how to be a Crystal Gem?!

You're just...
You're just...

a guy with a blog!

Is that love?

Is that acceptance?

Maybe you're the one
that isn't a Crystal Gem.

I think you need to leave...
and think about stuff.

What is my problem?

He just wanted to be included.

If I were really a Crystal Gem,
I'd never...

Wait a second.

Ronaldo: [ Laughs ]

Amethyst?!
[ Laughing ]

Yo, I didn't even say anything.

Bloodstone!
We need to talk!

You're right! The Crystal Gems
are about love and acceptance!

But you've been acting
really mean to me,

and I don't love that.

I don't accept that.

I wish I hadn't snapped at you.

it's just...
I really thought you joined

because you were interested
in the Crystal Gems.

But the second it wasn't
about you, you stopped caring.

This isn't the Bloodstone club

about making Bloodstone
feel good.

This is my whole life!

Do you care about that or not?!

Whoa!

You truthed him so hard,
he died!

No!

Bloodstone!
Bloodstone!

[ Snoring ]

[ Sighs ]
He's just asleep.

Guess staying awake
for a whole week

finally caught up with him.

Well, what do we do
with Fryrocko now?

We should let his parent
know he's back.

[ Warble ] [ Deep voice ] Hey, Dad.
I'm back.

Blog, blog, blog.

That was really good!

[ Warble ] [ Normal
voice ] Thanks!

I'll... text Peedee
and let him know he's here.

You think he'll be okay?

You've worried about him
enough, Steven.

Crystal Gems, let's head back.

[ Snoring ]

[ Seagulls crying ]

Bloodstone!

Oh. Hey, Steven.

Are you all right?

I haven't seen you
in three weeks.

Yeah. I took
a real long nap.

And then I did
some hard thinking.

I wasn't acting like Bloodstone.

I was acting like
[Inhales deeply] Jerknaldo.

You accepted me, but I still
felt like an outsider.

I guess even amongst outsiders,
I am the ultimate outsider.

I think it's better
Ronaldo Fryman work alone.

Are you sure?

I was really glad
you wanted to help our cause.

I still do.

Oh. It's you and Pearl
shaking hands.

When did that happen?

I used the magic
of photo-editing software.

Hey, but, uh...
Ronalphlets aside,

can I ask you something?

Yeah.

Why don't you use your Gem name?

Oh. My Gem name
is my mom's name.

Actually, the only time
Gems really call me that

is if they're about to kidnap me
or beat me up.

That's rough, buddy.

You want me to put that
in the Ronalphlet?

Ehh... maybe not.

Got it.
