Y/n was at the beach house reading a book while Steven is lying down on the couch in the living room, reading a series of novels titled "The No Home Boys".
"Woah, how are they gonna get out of this one?" Steven wonders out loud as he turns to the next page. "Oh, that's how."
Y/n just chuckles at Steven's antics and shakes his head.
The warp pad sounds however now getting the two's attention.
"The gems are back!" Steven cheers getting up and Y/n places a bookmark in his book and closes it before he gets up.
Steven and Y/n move to the warp pad when the Gems return to the Beach House.
"You're back!" Steven says happily but Y/n notices several Flask Robonoids the Gems are carrying.
"Aren't, those the things from the Galaxy Warp?" Y/n asks.
"Hey yeah, Why'd you bring them home?" Steven asks.
"We can't have them reactivating and fixing the Homeworld Warp." Pearl explains.
"Hey dudes, check this out!" Amethyst says to Y/n and Steven. "Kabloosh!" Amethyst then crushes the Flask Robonoid in her hands, spilling green goo all around her and startling Pearl, causing her to drop her Flask Robonoids in hand.
Pearl was now covered in goo. "Amethyst, please! This is serious! We need to understand these things, not squash them. If Homeworld Gems are trying to return to Earth..." Pearl begins to panic. "THEY HAVE TO BE STOPPED!"
"Pearl, calm down. We're still cut off. The Earth is safe." Garnet says to her.
"Safe from what?" Steven asks.
"What do the Homeworld Gems have to do with the Earth?" Y/n asks.
Pearl exchanges looks with Garnet and she sighs. "Y/n, Steven, a very long time ago, Gems tried to do something... very bad." Pearl begins and she looks at Amethyst, who quickly turns away. "It was something that would have damaged the Earth. Some Gems, like your mother Steven, Garnet, and myself, felt that this was unfair to the life that already existed here, and so we swore to never let the Earth be used for their... purposes. Even if it meant..."
Amethyst approaches another Flask Robonoid and crushes it underneath her foot in upset.
Pearl groans. "Even if it meant we could never go home."
"We chose Earth." Garnet says now.
"So you guys aren't just stuck here...You've been exiled..." Y/n says slightly taken a back.
"Wait a sec, so that means... we're just like the No Home Boys!" Steven cries.
"The wha...?" Pearl asks.
"The No Home Boys! It's a book series about these boys who have no home. So they travel around the country, living in boxcars, and riding river rafts, solving mysteries! They had a successful run, until the disastrous graphic novel adaptation. But my favorite story is this classic one where the no home boys are chased across the countryside by a mysterious pursuer, which turns out to be the very fear resting within themselves." Steven explains.
"Steven, we are not like the No Home Boys. We are literally standing in your home right now." Pearl says as she walks off with Garnet carrying the Robonoids.
"Aw, I wish, I was a No Home Boy. No past, no future, just the open road!" Steven sighs.
"Yeah, sounds like fun. Let's do it." Amethyst suddenly says.
