Lion 4: Alternate Ending

[Open Int. Steven's Room]

(You and Steven are watching the video tape his mom left for him on his TV.)

Rose (TV): "Steven, we can't both exist. I'm going to become half of you. And I need you to know that every moment you love being yourself, that's me, loving you and loving being you... because you're going to be something extraordinary. You're going to be-"

(Steven rewinds the video twice, replaying the part when Rose said "you're going to be something extraordinary" two times, before writing it down on his notepad.)

Steven: Extraordinary... experience.

Y/N: So, How come you called me over for this? because it looks like you got things covered from here

Steven: Come on Y/N, Aren't you the least bit curious to see what this could mean?

Y/N: I Mean..

(Lion is seen playing with a crumbled ball of paper on Steven's bed, as he begins to groom himself.)

Steven: Okay, I think I've got something. *clears his throat to get Your and Lion's attention* So, this time, I put together the first letter of the first word of every sentence. It spells "ittaisiaby."

(Steven glances back at Lion, who continues to groom himself and remain inattentive.)

Y/N: Steven, No offence but, don't you think that sounds a bit, Ridiculous?

Steven: Look, I know it might not sound like much, but if you rearrange those letters, it says "Bait it I say," or "I stay a bit," or "I bitty Asia."

(Lion overhears Steven's hypothesis, but disregards it quickly.)

Steven: Well- *sighs* "I bitty Asia" could mean something. Maybe I'm supposed to go back to Asia? And... bite something?

Y/N: I don't think that's what that means

(Lion yawns and lies on Steven's bed. Steven puts his notepad down and ejects the VHS tape.)

Steven: *sighs* There has to be a clue somewhere. Mom says she wanted to have me. But, that must mean there's a reason. There has to be something I was meant to do. My magical Gem destiny.

(Lion starts to gag on Steven's bed.)

Steven: Come on, Lion. I need you to focus here.

(Lion keeps gagging, on the verge of retching.)

Steven: No, no, no! Lion, at least do it on the floor!

(Lion coughs up something, with liquid splattering, to Steven's displeasure.)

Steven: Why is it always on the bed? 

Y/N: Pearl was right, Lion really "does" need to be trained

Steven: *gasps*

Y/N: What is it?

(Steven notices that Lion has coughed up a pink key.)

Steven: Magical hair-ball destiny.

(Lion retches one more time, coughing up a half-eaten Crystal Basilisk.)

Steven: Okay. That's gross.

(Steven cleans up the mess on his bed and turns his attention on the key.)

Y/N: So what's with the key?

Steven: I don't know, but Mom must have wanted Lion to give this to me now. What does it open? Hmm... Oh! Hey, Lion.

[Trans Int. Lion's Dimension]

(Steven enters Lion's mane and approaches the chest next to the tree. He tries to fit the key to the chest, but finds out it is too big, as he quickly runs out of air.)
