Turquoise uses his claws to anchor I to the floor and swing towards the door panel shutting it

Sardonyx unfuses and Pearl starts to panic

"Steven!" Pearl yells

Turquoise takes a moment to think "Hmmm I could try and get him I can fly after all?" Turquoise asks

"You think it'll work." Garnet says clearly on edge

"Only one way to find out." Turquoise says opening the door

Steven slowly opens his eyes with a ringing in his eyes. As he regains consciousness, he sees the Homeworld Rubies scattering in the distance

"The Rubies? Huh? Whoa!" Steven says

Steven soon finds himself inside his bubble shield twirling and floating through space at a drastically fast speed.

"Oh, geez! AAAHH!"

Steven's bubble collides with Eyeball, which slows him down.

"You!" Eyeball yells angrily

"Eyeball!" Steven says shocked

Eyeball regains her balance and stands on top of the bubble. She and Steven watch as the Earth and Moon shrink away in distance.

"There goes the Earth..."

"There goes my whole platoon!" Eyeball growls at Steven "This is a mess!" She starts pacing around the bubble "What'll I say in my report? How will I even make my report? This is a nightmare!" She stops and glares at Steven "And this is all your fault!"

"Whoa! Hey, no, it's not! You were trying to hurt my friends!" Steven argues

"But you opened the airlock in the moon base! You sent us flying into space, with no hope of ever returning!" Eyeball argues back

"... Okay, so maybe that was my fault. I'm sorry. There, are you happy?" Steven asks

"No. You're lucky you're in that bubble, or I'd pop you right in the face." Eyeball grits her teeth

"Well, if you're going to be a grump about it, then we can just float in silence until we both die!" Steven cries out

Eyeball crosses her arms "Sounds great!"

"Fine!"

"I can't wait!" Eyeball says

"Me, neither!"

The two of them continue to float through space in silence. Steven then takes his phone out of his pocket in boredom.

"What? No signal? Come on, I'm right by a satellite!" Steven yells

A satellite beeps as it flies by.

"If I don't die out here, first thing I do back on Earth is change my phone plan." Steven says to himself

Eyeball sits up and growls "I shouldn't have ever come back to that dumb planet!"

Eyeball flops back down on the bubble.

"When I heard rumors there might still be Crystal Gems on Earth, I couldn't believe it. A thousand years of fighting were all for nothing! And Rose Quartz might still be alive? She must be!" She rolls on her side "Why else would someone as important as Jasper be back on Earth? For closure, that's why. I wanted it, too. I wanted to see Rose Quartz with my own eye. At the very least, I thought Jasper might have some answers, but... It wasn't even her; just another trick." Eyeball rambles

"That's what you really wanted? To see Rose Quartz?" Steven asks

Eyeball clenches her fists "More than anything."
