Rainbow Quartz 2.0 and Onion play with two characters.

"Thank you, Explorer Gal, for saving us from this dastardly bandit guy!"

Explorer Gal makes an unintelligible speech.

"For your heroic efforts, please accept..." a one-dollar bill is passed from one hand to the other, "...money! Our city was a mess without you, but now..."

Rainbow 2.0 glances around the room, "Well...I suppose it's still a mess." they stand up, "It's been so fun playing, but now we have to clean, which is also fun!" the fusion makes a rainbow with their hands and winks, "Are you ready to tidy up?"

Onion throws up a piece of broccoli out of his mouth in response.

"Oh, Onion, don't be that way. Your best friend Rainbow will help you tidy up." Rainbow 2.0 takes out their parasol, "Let's get things a little more animated in here!" they use their parasol to make Onion's toys move as they start to sing.

Rainbow 2.0: Stick by stick, the little blackbird builds a nest. A mess to some, but the little blackbird isn't stressed. Stick by stick, the little blackbird builds a nest. And then he naps, 'cause even blackbirds need to rest. The fun won't stop if you have a friend around. The fun won't stop if you have a friend around. And when you laugh, it is my favorite sound. And that's what life is all about.

"What the-?!" Rainbow 2.0 dodges some darts being thrown as they hit the dartboard, falling onto the pile of dirty dishes, "Next time wash your dishes." the fusion uses their parasol to make the dishes fly to the sink. The fusion leaps back as they point at the two dolls of Steven and Isabella, waving, "Can you...please explain what this is?" they then giggle as Onion blows kisses at them, "All right. Thank you for the kisses." Suddenly, Isabella's phone starts ringing, "Okay, I'm gonna need like...5 minutes."

Isabella and Pearl unfuse, the former answering the call.

"Steven, something going on?"

"No, just wanted to see how things were going as Rainbow."

"It's going great so far. How about Sunstone?"

"Pretty good. Also, Lars called. He was wondering what time you wanted to meet up."

Isabella tenses up, "Time? Oh, no! I forgot about our date today! I'm the worst!"

"Don't worry, Sis. I'll just tell him that you're busy today."

"But we sat down together and planned this and everything!"

"I can take things from here, Isabella." Pearl reassures her, "Onion's been a dream for Rainbow."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure it'll be fine. Oh, look at him now, making a collage."

Isabella cringes as she spots Onion making a collage that said "Never Leave".

"Lars said he'd meet you outside Spacetries." Steven informed her.

"Thanks, bro! I gotta go, Pearl, but I'll be back as soon as I can."

"Take your time. We'll be fine here." Pearl gasps as she walks over to the kid, "Wow, Onion, that's a beautiful bag of hair. Whose is it?"

Isabella feels around her hair for any uneven trims as she walked out of the room.

...

"Lars!" the brunette rushes over.

"Hey, Babe! Ready to go?"

"Mhm!"

The two walk along the boardwalk.

"Listen, I have something really important to tell you." Lars catches the concerned expression on his girlfriend's face, "Don't worry! It's nothing bad!"
