[Open Outer Space]

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

Steven: The Rubies? Huh? Whoa!

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

Steven: Oh, geez! AAAHH!

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

"Eyeball": You!

Steven: "Eyeball"!

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

Steven: There goes the Earth...

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Eyeball": *crosses her arms* Sounds great!

Steven: Fine!

"Eyeball": I can't wait!

Steven: Me, neither!

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

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

(A satellite beeps as it flies by.)

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

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

("Eyeball" flops back down on the bubble.)

"Eyeball": 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! *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.

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

"Eyeball": *clenches her fists* More than anything.

Steven: Well, then today's your lucky day.

"Eyeball": How's that?

Steven: I... know where Rose Quartz is.

("Eyeball"'s interest has been sparked and she turns around to face Steven)

"Eyeball": What? Where is she?!

Steven: ... She turned into me.

"Eyeball": Right. And I have two eyeballs, which I don't! You expect me to believe anything, don't you? Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me four times, you already fooled me, and you can't fool me again.
