[Open Ext. Beach House, Night-time]

(Steven and Garnet are star-gazing on the porch, when a shooting star passes by.)

Steven: Ooh! There's one! Garnet, you gotta make a wish!

Garnet: All right.

Steven: Close your eyes!

(Garnet seemingly closes her eyes under her visor.)

Steven: All of them.

Garnet: Ok, ok.

Steven: Now make your wish. But don't tell me what it is. *pauses for a bit, and whispers* Garnet, what did you wish for?

Garnet: I wished... for another shooting star so that you could make a wish.

Steven: *blushes* Oh my gosh.

(Steven gasps as he spots a red shooting star in the sky.)

Steven: Garnet! It worked!

(Distant screaming is then heard as the "star" nears.)

Steven: Is that star... screaming?

(The screaming "star" crashes onto the beach in front of the beach house.)

Steven: What's that?!

(Steven and Garnet quickly run down to the beach, and sees a Ruby lying in a crater.)

Steven: It's "Navy"!

Garnet: That's... a Ruby.

Steven: Don't you remember? I gave them all names. This one's "Navy", 'cause her gem is on her navel.

Garnet: Oh. I finally get it.

("Navy" climbs out of the crate and jumps towards Steven, who quickly summons his bubble shield.)

"Navy": Oh please! Oh please! Don't make me go back to Homeworld! Oh, I wanna stay here with you.

Garnet: This... is a surprise.

Steven: *pops his bubble* You... wanna live on Earth?

"Navy": Yeah. All the other Rubies are mean to me. I just want to be somewhere where I can be myself.

Steven: You're not mad at us from before?

"Navy": What do you mean?

Steven: You know, about tricking you into playing baseball?

"Navy": That was fun!

Steven: Or, when Amethyst pretended to be Jasper?

"Navy": I've got to admit, that was pretty clever.

Steven: Or when we blasted you all out into space and stole your ship so you'd be stranded forever?

"Navy": Well, we were fighting so it's understandable.

Garnet: I don't know about this. She tried to stab you in space.

Steven: That was "Eyeball". This is "Navy". She... always seemed really nice, actually.

"Navy": Hey thanks!

Steven: 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!

Steven: Let me take it from here! I know exactly where she'll fit in.

Garnet: All right, Steven Universe. Go work your magic.

(Steven pushes his way through the corn field to find Peridot and Lapis sitting on a tractor and You standing beside them.)
