Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl and Sally warped back to them temple.

Steven came running in with a box in his arm.

"Hey, Steven. What's that?" Sally asked. Steven ignored her and stared at the others. Sally turned and laughed slightly at what he was looking at.

"Hello, Steven." Garnet said. Steven stared at her hair, which was filled with feathers. Pearl held a small statue with a diamond on it.

"Amethyst, it is not going to fit in there!" Pearl said.

"Yeah, huh!" She frowned at Pearl. She turned to the fridge and pulled out a shelf and threw it in the floor. She then put a giant egg in it. She slammed the door closed, crushing it. "Told ya! Oh, man, we could make a big omelet, or..." Amethyst was blabbing on about her egg. Pearl stared at Amethyst for a moment.

"We fought a giant bird." Pearl said, answering the question that showed clearly on Steven's face.

"And it was awesome!" Sally yelled.

"We are only here for a second. We've got to go back out." Pearl said.

"We have to place this moon goddess statue on top of the Lunar Sea Spire before midnight. Without it, the whole place will fall apart. Oh, Steven. You should have seen the Spire! It was an oasis for gems in Earth!" She said showing Steven and Sally the Spire. She then frowned as the vision went away. "It's abandoned now. But we can still save it with this statue!" She held it out. The other gems went to stand next to her.

"That's perfect!" Steven yelled, stars in his eyes.

"What do you mean? Why?" Pearl asked.

"Because I can carry it for you. In this!" He said opening his box and pulling out a back pack shaped like a burger.

"Is that a..." Sally held back a laugh.

"A... Hamburger?" Pearl questioned.

"It's a novelty backpack!" Steven said. "Aw, I blew it. I was going to wear it and you guys would say 'Dang, Steven. That's so cool.' But this is obviously important gem business." Steven said.

"Yes, so you should let us handle this." Pearl said.

"What?! Sally gets to come!" Steven pointed at Sally.

"She's a full gem. She will be just fine." Pearl said.

"I'm a gem, too!" Steven yelled. He pulled up his shirt and pointed at his gem.

"But you've still got a lot to learn." Pearl said.

"So let him come! It'll be educational! Just like that time we took Sally to the--" Amethyst was interrupted by Pearl.

"Fine, we'll take him." Pearl sighed in defeat. "You can carry the statue in your hamburger."

"Look at this! Everything is a pocket! Even the cheese is a pocket!" Steven said opening up his bag. "I could fit a lot more stuff in here! Give me a minute, I'll pack extra supplies!"

Steven packed up his junk while the gems got ready.

The gems walked onto the Warp pad and called Steven.

"Let's go, Steven!" Pearl yelled. Steven ran up, his backpack full. "Did you bring your whole room?" She said looking at the bag.

"Pack that thing up!" Amethyst laughed. Sally laughed a little at his bag.

"Let's warp." Garnet said.

"Would you like to activate it, Sally?" Pearl smiled and turned to Sally. Sally nodded and waved her arm. The Warp pad activated, but they weren't warping. Steven was too... Big, to let us warp.
