Amethyst mostly drenched, and Pearl are playing checkers on the beach. Steven is perched on a lifeguard chair with water balloons. Amethyst looks over the board and moves ove of her pieces capturing one of Pearl's.

Amethyst: "Ha, take that!"

Pearl: "Wow, Amethyst, I'm impressed."

She then gets hit with a water balloon thrown by Steven

Steven: "Now it's your move, Pearl"

Pearl: "Steven, are the water balloons really necessary?"

Steven: "Yeah, this way the moves really matter"

Pearl: "But it's checkers! Every single move matters"

Amethyst: twirls a strand of her wet hair around her finger It sounds like someone's being a sore loser"

Pearl: pouting "I'm not a sore loser..." captures all of Amethyst's pieces in one fell swoop "Because I just won the game"

Amethyst: "Whaaa—?!" braces herself happily "Here it comes!" holds her arms out, as Steven pelts her with all his water balloons, and falls backwards on her back "Aaah! Ha, feels good to lose"

Pearl: stands up "Ahem, I certainly hope that's not the attitude you have during battle"

Amethyst: "Ugh, you're no fun anymore. This is why we never form Opal"

Pearl: chides Amethyst "We don't form Opal because you're difficult and a mess"

Amethyst: "We don't form Opal because you're uptight and-"

Steven: jumps in and shoves Amethyst and Pearl apart "Guys! Guys! What is Opal"

Amethyst: "Oh it's the two of us, mashed together." clasps her hands

Pearl: scoffs "Is water just hydrogen and oxygen "mashed" together?" Amethyst and Steven look clueless. "...Analogy wasted. Look here, Steven." starts manipulating the sand into animated figurines "When we synchronize our forms we can combine into a powerful fusion gem named Opal"

Amethyst: stomps on the sand figurine "Except I don't dance like that"

Pearl: "Amethyst!"

Steven: "Wow, that's so cool!" turns to Amethyst "But tell me more about Opal"

Amethyst: "Well, Steven, she's an ultra powerful, stone cold Betty— That part's me. And she's like, kinda tall—" whispers "That part's Pearl"

Pearl: "What Amethyst is attempting to say is, Opal is an amalgam of our combined magical and physical attributes, fused into a single entity"

Steven: "Wow, can you do it right now?" grabs Pearl's hand "Come on, form Opal!"

Amethyst scoffs

Pearl: "We only form Opal when it's absolutely necessary" light emits from inside the beach house

Steven: "Garnet's back!"

Steven, Pearl and Amethyst returns back in the house to greet Garnet

Steven: "Ooh! Ooh! Did you bring me anything?" Garnet presents a rock. "Whoa, a rock! Thanks, Garnet"

Pearl: "So, was your mission a success?"

Garnet: "I have located the Geode Beetles of Heaven and Earth. We should split up to retrieve them"

Amethyst: "Well I'm going with not Pearl"

Pearl: "Well that's perfect because I don't want to go with grammatically incorrect people anyway"
