The scene opens on Beach Citywalk Fries. Steven and Amethyst run towards the counter of Beach Citywalk Fries, as Mr. Fryman is entering the building. "Hey, Fryman, give me the bits!"

Mr. Fryman flips a 'We're Closed!' sign, "Steven, we're closed."

Steven was clearly disappointed, "Aww, what?"

Amethyst hits the counter, "Give 'em the bits! (chants while continuously hitting the counter) The BITS. The BITS."

Steven joins in the chanting, both chanting, "The BITS! The BITS! The BITS! (banging on counter)"

Mr. Fryman goes to retrieve the fry bits, "Okay, okay! Take it easy on the counter, will ya?"

Steven & Amethyst high five and smile, "Yes!"

Mr. Fryman empties the bits into a paper bag, "I can give you actual fries if you want. (hands the bag to Steven)"

"Just the bits, please." Steven takes the bag, "Thanks! (Amethyst and him start walking away while eating the bits) Ah, sunset, my favorite time of day. When the sun goes down, and the second sun gets bigger and bigger in the sky."

Amethyst bursts out laughing, "Yeah, that big hot second su— (long gasps, noticing a strange orb in the sky) Oh no, what is that doing here?"

"Huh? What is it?" Amethyst picks him up, causing him to drop the bag of bits. "Ah, my bits! (Amethyst carries him away)."

At the beach near Crystal Temple. Garnet and Pearl, looking through a telescope, are observing the strange orb. Meanwhile,  Y/n just has their arms folded with their sunglasses reflecting the sun's light. "I think it's a Banksy."

Garnet exclaimed, "This is bad."

Pearl claimed, "Look at the size of it, I had no idea these things were so big!"

"Garnet! Pearl!" Amethyst is seen running towards them carrying Steven.

"Yeah. You're too late. We already know, you can stay for the view though." Y/n smirked, snapping their fingers.

Pearl visibly annoyed, "We saw. Some of us are trying to protect humanity. Where were you?"

Amethyst puts Steven down, "... Eating fry bits. (Pearl groans.)"

"Oh, can I see?" Steven peers through the telescope, "Woah. (The orb rotates and opens into a eye.) It's a giant eyeball! Awesome!"

Pearl shouted, "NOT awesome! It's a Red Eye!"

Steven panics, "A red eye?! It's going to infect us all!"

Garnet stated bluntly, "That's pink eye, Steven. (Amethyst and Y/n laugh.)"

Pearl explained, abeit with panic. "It's going to crash into Beach City and crush us, along with a bunch of oblivious, innocent people! We have to stop it."

Steven turned to Garnet, "What are we going to do?"

Garnet adjusts her visor, "The only thing powerful enough to destroy it is a Laser Cannon that belonged to Rose Quartz."

Steven asked, "My mom?"

Y/n nodded, putting their hands on their hips, "yep, if I remember correctly, she used this thing against my fleets."

Amethyst groans, "If Rose were here, this would be so easy."

Pearl sighed, "I know, but she's not, and the cannon is missing. We'll have to find another solution."
