"Once upon a time, the Gem Homeworld was ruled by Diamonds: White, Yellow, Blue, Black and the littlest Diamond, Pink. While Black sat in her gem rarely forming, the other Diamonds conquered many worlds across the galaxy, Pink had only one the planet Earth. One day, Pink fled the comforts of Homeworld. On Earth, she made a new home, new friends, and finally, new life; giving up her form to bequeath her gem to her half-human son. Without Pink, Gemkind entered an era of despair. But, when Black chose a representative and Steven Universe learned of his heritage, The two traveled to Homeworld where Steven reunited with his fellow Diamonds and the two helped champion a new era of peace and freedom across the furthest reaches of space." White narrates before she shuts the book. "And now, dear Gems everywhere, I'm pleased to announce that Steven is finally ready to take his rightful place on Pink Diamond's throne!"
A light fanfare is heard as Steven, now aged 16 and looking like a fully-grown teenager is shown standing in front of White.
Steven turns around. "How's it going, everybody? I know you all might be thinking of me as the new Pink Diamond, but you don't have to put me on a throne. I already have a rightful place, and it's on Earth."
The Diamonds all lean forward in their thrones in surprise.
"Huh?" Blue Diamond hums.
"What?" White Diamond asks.
Yellow Pearl is seen adjusting the settings on a diamond-shaped projection screen, broadcasting Steven's message along across the universe.
"It's a beach house, where I live with my friends, Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl. As much as I've loved dismantling the empire and saving all your planets, I can't wait to get home and spend some quality time with my friends."
As Steven finishes his message, White Diamond's eyes widen. She scowls at the Pearls. "Cut the feed."
"Your time is up anyway." Yellow Pearl quietly says.
Blue Pearl snickers and runs off to pull away the camera, as Yellow Pearl shuts down the broadcast.
Steven turns to Y/n now. "I think that went well." He smiles.
Y/n just looks up at the Diamonds. "I'm not so sure." He comments to Steven.
"Steven, please." White Diamond begins to plead.
"You can't go." Yellow Diamond tells him.
"You both must stay." Blue Diamond says.
"Y/n is the only form of communication we have with Black and you're all we have left of Pink." White Diamond says as she kneels down in front of the pair now. "Steven, Y/n, you both belong here, with us."
"Uh... Thanks. But... no thanks." Steven slowly backs away as the Diamonds begin to sing.
♫ Come live with us in the palace, We have rooms waiting for you ♫
♫ Come on... ♫
♫ Come on... ♫
♫ Come on... ♫
♫ Just let us adore you ♫ The Diamonds all sing as they kneel down before Y/n and Steven, as they continue to back up to the Warp Pad.
