(You, Steven, Connie and Greg are sorting boxes of vinyl disk collection from Greg's van outside the car wash.)

Steven: *takes out three vinyl disks from a box* Here's all the Orange Magic Orchestra ones.

Greg: Great! Put them in the transcendental space rock-pile.

Connie: *taking a vinyl disk* At home, we only have classical music and movie soundtracks.

Y/N: Classical? Haven't you heard like, Pop, Funk or at least Video Game OST's?

Connie: Well, Not often, I've never heard any of these.

Greg: You've never heard the Philosophy Majors? Oh man, give it here. *takes the disk from Connie and puts in on a player* This'll really knock your socks off.

(The music starts playing. You and Steven start dancing to the tune while Greg air-guitars.)

Steven: *laughs and offers his hand to Connie* Come on!

Connie: Whoa!

(Steven and Connie are dancing and twirling around together. Steven's gem then starts glowing and the two accidentally fuse into Stevonnie. They stop dancing and see a shocked Greg staring at them. Greg stops the music and Stevonnie quickly separates back into Steven and Connie.)

Y/N: Oh, I forgot you guys could do that

Greg: You two can fuse?!

Steven: Uh... Yes?

Greg: Uh, huh, that's incredible! Since when? Wait, how is this even possible?

Steven: The Gems thinks it's because I'm half human-

Connie: Please don't tell my parents, Mr. Universe! They don't know I've been doing magic stuff with Steven! I can't tell them, they're not going to understand, I-

Greg: Whoa, whoa, it's... it's okay. I may be the only human being on the planet who's gonna understand.

Connie: Wha- what do you mean?

Steven: *gets suspicious* Yeah, what do you mean?

Greg: Well...

Steven: *gasps* Story! Come on!

Y/N: Sure, Why not

(You, Steven and Connie jump into and sit inside the van.)

Steven: We're ready.

Greg: I didn't think I'd be telling this so soon. Probably best to start with this.

(Greg retrieves a VHS tape, inserts it in the VCR TV and plays it, leading to a full flashback to the 90's.)

[Open Int. Crystal Temple]

(The TV screen flickered with static and then showed a young Greg adjusting the camera. A backdrop of wooden planks and lit light bulbs was seen, along with the Warp Pad, used as the stage. Garnet, Amethyst and Rose Quartz were seen standing on-stage, with a keytar, drums, and a microphone respectively.)

Greg: Everybody ready? *run in front of the stage with his guitar* One, two, three, four.

(Greg and the Crystal Gems started to play "What Can I Do (For You)". Greg inched in on the stage to be closer to Rose.)

(Greg started playing a guitar solo, while a bitter Pearl watched as she leaned against the wood planks. She then smirked, walked up to Rose and whispered into her ear. Rose and Pearl walked off stage and started dancing together, fusing into Rainbow Quartz. She continued to dance, glaring at Greg, still playing his guitar solo, and then unfused on the warp pad. After they separated back into Rose and Pearl, Pearl held out the microphone and dropped it in front of Greg with a devilish look on her face, ending the song.)
