"Yo! You called?" Y/n asked, rubbing their eyes with a pajama sleeve. They were wearing a long-sleeved shirt with a couple clouds on it and baby blue shorts.

"N/n!" Steven happily exclaimed, ukulele in hand.

"Y/n." A nasally green voice interrupted their conversation. "Please tell him that we need to continue working on the drill."

Y/n looked at her for a few seconds, probably out of confusion, and replied "No."

"NO?!?" Peridot wailed. Then she accidentally turned on a power drill.

Silence.

Steven and Y/n looked at each other, Steven having the goofiest 'trying-not-to-laugh' face which makes Y/n laugh.

"What? What is so funny??" Peridot continued.

"What is that, a C?" Steven then played a C on his uke.

Peridot curiously made the drill spin again, then once more at a higher pitch.

(A/n: Since obviously I hate music in all forms I'm not writing a musical number.)

Steven, Peridot, Amethyst, Garnet, Pearl, and even Y/n sung Peace and Love on the Planet Earth in front of a bonfire. Everyone gazed happily at the drill that they worked on.

"Nice drill." Garnet commented. She patted Peridot on the back... who jumped in fear. Everyone laughed, then Steven hugged her from behind.

"We really did it, huh?" Peridot sighed.

"Heck yeah." Y/n said.

Steven gasped before saying "We?"

Y/n smiled. "I guess Peri really respec-"

"Oh wait. I need to check something!" Peridot scurried off.

"She's come so far. It feels like yesterday she was trying to kill us." Steven shedded a single tear.

Pearl didn't get the simile, and she said "No no, that was several weeks ago."

"Coordinates! We still need the Cluster's exact coordinates in order to drill!" Peridot scurried back over to the group. Y/n was about to say something stupid, but Pearl said something first.

"No, Y/n, we can't just drill to the middle of the earth. There's a Diamond Base that may hold that information, but getting there is going to be difficult."

Pearl gazed upwards

"Why, is it on-"

"The moooooooon!" Steven gasped, his eyes becoming stars.

"Yes, Steven, the moon." Pearl deadpanned slightly.

Steven had an idea, and he called out to lion. "Lion! Can you make us a special super warp to the moon?"

.

.  .  .

Lion grunted and stretched, ignoring Steven.

"Come on, Lion, we gotta do this to stop the Cluster! If we don't there's gonna be no more Earth! No more fun times with your pals, no more Lion Lickers..."

.

. .

.  .  .

"No more naps?"

As soon as Steven said no more naps, Lion got up and roared with glowing white eyes.

"Huh. It was naps." Y/n put a finger to their chin.
