[Open Ext. The Barn]

(It is the late evening. Pearl, Garnet, and Amethyst are seen sitting on a hill and watching the sunset over Beach City. You and Steven is lying nearby against Lion, Steven is strumming his ukulele, when Peridot walks up to him.)

Peridot: Y/N, Steven.

Y/N: Peridot?

Steven: Hi!

Peridot: Why did we stop working on the drill?! Why are they just sitting there looking at nothing?!

Steven: We worked hard and we deserve to take it easy for a little bit. I mean just look at that view. It's beautiful.

Peridot: It's going to be blown to oblivion by the Cluster if we don't get back to work!

Steven: Working hard is important, but feeling good is important too.

Peridot: WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?!

(Peridot accidentally turns on the power drill in her hand in her frustration, and it makes a buzzing sound.)

Steven: Hey! *imitates the drill buzzing* What is that, a C? *plays the note on his ukulele*

Peridot: The drill? *makes the drill buzz again*

Steven: Yeah! (Peridot makes the drill buzz in a higher pitch.) Oh my gosh, now it's music!

Peridot: Music?

Y/N: Yeah, Music, Show her Steven

Steven: Okay, well it goes like Like this

[Trans. Ext. The Barn, Night-time]

(You, Steven and the Gems all gaze at the drill in awe.)

Garnet: Nice work.

(Garnet pats Peridot on the back, but Peridot jumps in fear. You and The Gems then laugh and Steven hugs Peridot from behind.)

Peridot: We really did it, huh?

Steven: *gasps* We?

Peridot: Oh wait. I need to check something! *runs to the drill*

Steven: She's come so far. It feels like yesterday she was trying to kill us.

Pearl: No no, that was several weeks ago.

Y/N: Metaphore Pearl, Metaphore

Peridot: Coordinates! We still need the Cluster's exact coordinates in order to drill!

Pearl: There's a Diamond Base that may hold that information, but getting there is going to be difficult.

Steven: How come?

Pearl: Because it's not accessible by warp pad. And it's on...! *gazes upwards*

Steven: *gasps* The mooooooon!

Pearl: Yes, Steven, the moon.

Steven: Lion! Can you make us a special super warp to the moon?

(Lion grunts and stretches his limbs, ignoring Steven and continues napping.)

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?

(On that remark, Lion gets up and roars, glaring at Steven with glowing white eyes.)

Steven: *turns to You and the Gems* Guess it was naps.
