Steven and Garnet are star-gazing on the porch when a shooting star passes by.
"Ooh! There's one! Garnet, you gotta make a wish!" Steven says excitedly
"All right."
"Close your eyes!" Steven says, closing his eyes, Garnet seemingly closes her eyes under her visor.
"All of them." Steven says
"Ok, ok."
"Now make your wish. But don't tell me what it is." Steven pauses for a bit and whispers."Garnet, what did you wish for?"
"I wished... for another shooting star so that you could make a wish." Garnet whispers
Steven blushes. "Oh my gosh." Steven gasps as he spots a red shooting star in the sky. "Garnet! It worked!"
Distant screaming is then heard as the star nears.
"Is that star... screaming?" Steven says as the screaming star crashes onto the beach in front of the beach house.
"What's that?!" Steven and Garnet quickly run down to the beach and see a Ruby lying in a crater
"It's Navy!" Steven says
"That's... a Ruby." Garnet says bluntly
"Don't you remember? I gave them all the names. This one's Navy, 'cause her gem is on her navel." Steven explains
"Oh. I finally get it."
Navy climbs out of the crate and jumps towards Steven, who quickly summons his bubble shield.
"Oh please! Oh, please! Don't make me go back to Homeworld! Oh, I wanna stay here with you." Navy pleads
"This... is a surprise."
Steven pops his bubble. "You... wanna live on Earth?"
"Yeah. All the other rubies are mean to me. I just want to be somewhere where I can be myself." Navy says
"You're not mad at us from before?" Steven asks
"What do you mean?" Navy asks
"You know, about tricking you into playing baseball?" Steven says
"That was fun!"
"Or, when Amethyst pretended to be Jasper?" Steven asks
"I've got to admit, that was pretty clever." Navy thinks about it
"Or when we blasted you all out into space and stole your ship so you'd be stranded forever?" Steven asks
"Well, we were fighting, so it's understandable."
"I don't know about this. She tried to stab you in space." Garnet interrupts
"That was Eyeball. This is Navy. She... always seemed really nice, actually."
"Hey, thanks!" Navy says
"And you know, a Ruby falling from the sky, discovering this beautiful world. Sounds a lot like a story you told me once."
Garnet blushes "Oh stop!"
"Let me take it from here! I know exactly where she'll fit in." Steven says
"All right, Steven Universe. Go work your magic."
Steven pushes his way through the corn field to find Lapis sitting on a tractor, Turquoise laying on the grass, Peridot laying on top of him
"Turquoise Finally! There's a star to wish on." Peridot points to the rising sun
"Turquoise! Peridot! Lapis!" Steven calls out to them
