Pearl looks at the communication hub, smiling. "Peridot is getting into so much trouble. But it hardly matters, right Garnet? We can disable this tower as many times as we need to together, okay? Okay. I'm ready."

Amethyst frowns, realizing what Pearl is up to. "I know what she's doing." Steven looks over at Amethyst. "You do?" "Yeah. But...I'm going to let them put on one more show first." Steven looks back at Garnet and Pearl.

"Are you sure?"
"Yeah."
"Okay." Sardonyx appears once more, smiling down at Steven and Amethyst. "Well well well. Looks like I'm on for another show!" She laughs in joy. Amethyst glares up at her.

"Okay." Sardonyx turns to the communication hub as she takes out her hammer. "Let's do this." Sardonyx jumps up and smashes her hammer into each piece just like the last couple times.

She then reaches the top and she giggles. "It's just so much fun being me. Is it not odd that I've had so much screen time? I just couldn't get a commercial break can I?" She frowns as she smashes the top piece into the ground, shutting down the hub again.

She then jumps back down to the ground. But she doesn't unfuse just yet. She looks back at the hub, frowning. "I must've been overworked. This just seems to be a bit too much for me to handle."

She sits down for a second, sighing. "Maybe it's about time that I cancel the show. I mean, this may be fun and all but, it's just the same thing every time. Destroying the same hub with the same pieces. It's been too long."

She then poofs, leaving Garnet and Pearl alone, looking down at the ground. Garnet facepalms. "I can't do this anymore, Pearl. Fusing with you may be fun. But, it gets old. We need to try something new."

She turns around to look at Amethyst. "Next time, let's all work together as Alexandrite and hunt down Peridot." Amethyst's eyes shine. "Y-you mean it?" Garnet smiles and nods. Pearl sighs and nods.

Amethyst walks over to them. "Hey. Why not go after her right now?" "We're exhausted. I'd rather not fuse twice in one day. Let's just give it a few days to rest. Once that is over, we're going to catch Peridot and end all of this once and for all."

Garnet heads over to the warp pad. "I'll see you all in the morning. Good night." Amethyst walks over to Pearl as Garnet warps away. "Pearl?" Pearl turns away from the hub.

"Yes, Amethyst?"
"I saw you."
"What?"
"I saw what you did. You fixed the hub, didn't you?" Pearl's face starts sweating "Uh..." She clears her throat.

"Amethyst, you must've been hallucinating. You have to have seen Peridot, not me." Amethyst shoves Pearl to the ground. "Liar! I saw what you did! You fixed the hub so you could fuse with Garnet over and over again! Well guess what? I love it just as much as you do!"

Pearl gets up and takes a step back, flabbergasted. "Amethyst, I..." She looks down. She tears up and she covers her face with her hands. She then runs to the warp pad. Amethyst yells after her. "Show's cancelled, Sardonyx!" Pearl activates the warp pad and she escapes.
