We open up to the Gems standing at the top of a cliff, overlooking a moss-covered swamp. Steven is seen hopping on the rocks in the swamp while Y/n stands with the Gems. 

Pearl: "This doesn't look good at all"

Steven: "Woah, cool" he reaches to touch the moss

Pearl and Amethyst: "No Steven!"

The moss starts crawling towards Steven. Garnet throws a nearby boulder at the rock Steven is standing on, catapulting him into Pearl's arms

Steven: "Steven's here!"

Pearl: "You have to be careful, Steven!"

Steven: "Why?"

Y/n taps him on the shoulder and points to a duck attempting to sit on a floating log in the swamp, when the moss engulfs the log.

Steven: "What is that stuff?"

Gernet: "It's the moss Rose Quartz raised on the hill"

Steven: "My mom planted that stuff"

Pearl: "Rose Quartz used to climb that hill every spring and tend to the moss at the top." projects a hologram of Rose at the top of a hill "But now that Rose is gone, The moss is on the move"

Steven: saddened "It's lost"

Amethyst: "It's not lost. It's gross"

Y/n: "Coming from you that really means something"

Pearl: "Yes but Rose loved it anyway. She saw the beauty in everything, no matter how gross." flicks her hair "Fortunately, I know just what to do in this situation"

The Crystal Gems gets off the cliff and onto ground level. Garnet, Amethyst, Y/n and Steven sit down on the ground, as they watch what Pearl is going to do. She then strikes a pose and begins to dance with her gem starting to glow. 

Steven: whispers to Y/n "This is why I get up in the morning"

A small glowing object appears out of Pearl's gem and into Steven's hands, revealing a roll of yellow tape reading "POLICE LINE".

Steven: "Is this... police tape?"

Pearl: "Isn't this great? This way, we don't even have to use magic. Humans will just see this and walk away"

Garnet, perched on a rock, slams her fist into her palm like a baseball mitt

Garnet: "Don't hold back"

Amethyst: "I never... do!" throws the roll of tape to Garnet

The Crystal Gems starts wrapping the entrance to the swamp in police tape

Pearl: "♪La la-la la-la~" ties the police tape into a bow shape" "Perfect!♪" The Crystal Gems gather to inspect the handiwork. "Now we can come up with a plan to move the moss back to its hill"

Y/n: "This is smart but I think this is also a short term solution"

Steven: "Who wants to get some lunch?" The Gems turn and stare at him silently. "Just me, then?"

Y/n: "I'll join you, I could use a bite anyway"

We cut to Y/n and Steven walking down the boardwalk to fish stew pizza. 

Steven: "♪ Gettin' me a pi, gettin' me a -zza. Gettin' me a p-p-p-p-pizza! Gettin' me a pi, gettin' me a -zza. Hmm, mmm, mm, mm, hey, is that Lars?♪"

He sing points out to Y/n as they see Lars leaning against a wall. 

Steven: "Lars!"

Lars: groans "Why now!"
