Steven was sitting on the couch in the living room, deep in contemplation and having several flashbacks.
"I watched the leader of the Crystal Gems, Rose Quartz, shatter Pink Diamond!"
Back in Steven's dream, Pink Diamond punched the glass in Yellow Diamond's Jungle Moon Base in anger, smashing it.
"So how did a Rose Quartz, with no business being anywhere near Pink Diamond, get so close in the first place?"
Back in Steven's dream again, a silhouette of Pearl held up Rose's Sword behind Pink Diamond and glared at Steven intimidatingly.
Steven gasps in fright from Pearl's glare in his dream, snapping him out of his thoughts, when Pearl and Amethyst walk into the house.
"I can't believe you've had your phone for a month, and you haven't used it at all!" Amethyst says to Pearl.
"That's not true! I use it to tell the time!" Pearl says.
Steven groans in anxiety, as Pearl and Amethyst sit by the kitchen counter.
Amethyst sighs "... Come here, P. Huh, let's change your wallpaper."
Amethyst takes Pearl's cellphone and takes a selfie, setting it as the wallpaper. "Looks great. Okay, now texting is in the messages. Just click on this screen icon..."
Steven starts panicking now "PEARL, CAN I ASK YOU SOM..."
"Hold on, Stevo. I'm in the middle of a demonstration." Amethyst stops him. "Hey, anyway... Then you can type pretty much anything you want."
Steven then receives a text from Pearl, reading "Dear Steven, Hello. Love, Pearl".
"You should get a case for that thing." Amethyst says to Pearl then.
"I do." Pearl informs her before she pulls out a literal suitcase from her gem.
"Okay... I have a whole bunch of actual phone cases in my room. Don't go and throw that thing against a rock or anything until I'm back." Amethyst says as she enters the Temple Gate into her room. With Pearl now alone, Steven approaches her nervously.
"Pearl?" Steven calls out her name.
"What is it, Steven?" Pearl asks giving him her full attention.
" ...You remember how Mom shattered Pink Diamond? Well, I was just wondering, if maybe... You shattered Pink Diamond." Steven begins to suggest to Pearl.
Pearl looks at him shocked. "I..." Pearl starts but quickly covers her hands over her mouth involuntarily, dropping her phone onto the floor.
"It's okay. You can tell me." Steven assures her.
Pearl struggles to speak, with her hands still covering her mouth.
"Why can't you just talk to me about this!?" Steven asks upset and frustrated now.
Amethyst returns, holding a phone case in her hand. "I got the... phone... case..." She trails off as she quickly senses the uneasiness in the room.
Pearl slowly uncovers her mouth and begins shouting hysterically. "AH YES, THE PHONE CASE! THANK YOU AMETHYST! Whoops, so clumsy, it's probably safer if I just keep it in here." Pearl chuckles nervously before she picks up her phone and stores it in her gem. She then grabs the suitcase and marches into the Temple.
"Wait, come on, just, put it in this, then put it in your head." Amethyst tries to tell her but Pearl walks through the Temple Gate and it closes behind her.
