Serious Steven

[Beach City Funland]
(Steven is waking in a daze, a ringing in his ear and looking really worried. The siren of an alarm is heard, as he looks around and sees Beach City Funland in ruins, with giant teacups scattered across the park, and several people including Amethyst and Pearl seem to be hurt. Only Garnet and San appears unharmed, standing up and looking in Steven's direction.)

[ 2 weeks after the incident]
(The Crystal Gems are warping through a warp stream.)

Garnet: Pay attention Steven, this is going to be your first serious mission. You need to be ready.

Steven :*is warping upside-down excitedly* Yes! I’m ready, I’m so ready!

Pearl :Steven, come on, you’re gonna make yourself sick. *turns Steven upright, gets hit in the eye by Steven’s ukulele and scoffs* Why did you bring that?

Steven :I don’t know! I was excited, and i-it’s mine, and I like it! (The ukulele starts floating away upwards and Steven swims after it.) Huh?

Pearl: Steven get back here! You could get seriously-
[ Gem Battlefield]
(The Gems warp safely onto a Warp Pad in the middle of a field of giant strawberries.)

Pearl: ...hurt!
(Steven warps several feet into the air and several yards away from the Warp Pad, and falls into the strawberry field, groaning in pain.)

Pearl: Steven! Are you...??

Steven :*gets up* I-I’m fine! I’m good. I’m just gooey.
(Steven finds himself covered in strawberry juice and licks his arm. He then sees a swarm of butterflies surrounding him, and they cling onto his face and arms.)

Steven: Aaaah! Aah! They’re in my eyes! *runs around while frantically yelling and trips over*

Garnet :*swats the butterflies away from Steven* They’re just butterflies, Steven.

San: They were attracted to the crushed strawberries that are on you.

Steven: *gets up and laughs sheepishly* Well, they looked a lot bigger when they were on my eyeballs.

Amethyst: *laughs* Steven, you’re a riot!

Pearl :*to Garnet* I’m suddenly having second thoughts about bringing Steven on this mission.

Garnet: *puts her palm on Pearl's shoulder* Shh. Just look at him. (Steven strikes a determined pose.) Now let’s go recover the gemstone.
(The Crystal Gems begin walking through the strawberry field, littered with swords stuck in the ground.)

Pearl: *looking around* Unbelievable, this was once a Gem battlefield, now it's wild strawberries as far as the eye can see! *twirls in joy* Oh, that’s what I love about the Earth! Maybe this will be a light mission after all. (Garnet comes to a halt and Pearl bumps into her.) Oomph.

(The Crystal Gems find themselves standing in front of an upside-down pyramid temple.)
Garnet :Maybe not.
(Garnet summons a small pyramid piece and slots it into the Pyramid Temple. The door magically disappears, revealing a path into the temple.)

Steven: Woooaaahhh!
(The Crystal Gems enters the temple.)

Steven :Woooaaahhh!
[Pyramid Temple-Outer Chamber]
Steven: Steven’s the best! (An echo of "Steven's the best!" returns.) Why thank you, temple.

Amethyst: You’re a doof.
(Steven looks around and sees a small pyramid levitating on a pedestal.)

Steven: Hey, what’s this thing? *examines the pedestal* It’s like a cool floaty triangle thing.

Pearl :Whatever it is, you probably shouldn’t touch it.
(Steven touches the small pyramid and it tips over. The Temple begins to shake and rumble. The Gems quickly rush to Steven.)
