"Nooooooooooooo!" Steven yells in terror, looking at the Cookie Cat freezer, "This can't be happening! This has to be a dream!"

Isabella rolls her eyes as Steven runs over to her, hugging her waist, "Sis! Please tell me I'm dreaming!"

"Steven, it's gonna be okay." Isabella pats his head as he lets go of her.

"I'm sorry, Steven. I guess they stopped making them." Sadie told him from behind the counter.

"Stopped making them?! Why in the world would they stop making Cookie Cats?! They're only the most scrumptious and delicious ice-cream sandwich ever made!" Steven falls to his knees, "Don't they have laws for this?!"

"Steven, please stop. You're making a scene." Isabella pulls him up.

Lars kneels in front of cabinet and sighs, "Tough bits, man. Nobody buys them anymore." Lars told him as he stocks shelves, "I guess they couldn't compete with Lion Lickers."

Steven groans and walks over to the Lion Licker's display case, "Not Lion Lickers! Nobody likes them! They don't even look like lions! Kids these days! I'll tell ya what!" Steven shakes his head.

"Kids like you?" Isabella raises her eyebrow at him.

Lars chuckles, "Well, if you miss your wimpy ice cream so much, why don't you make some with your magic belly button?" Lars mocks, walking away and laughing.

"That's not how it works, Lars!...Right?" Steven turns to Isabella who shrugs.

Steven sighs, walking over to the freezer, "Oh, sweet Cookie Cats." he slowly draws a cookie cat on the freezer with his finger, "With your crunchy cookie outside and your icy creamy insides... you were too good for this world." Steven kisses the freezer.

"Uh... Steven?" Sadie asks.

Steven doesn't reply as he hugs the freezer.

Lars turns from the counter and looks at Steven.

"Can he take the freezer with him? It's gonna be a challenge to pry him away from it." Isabella asks them as Steven nods with sad eyes.

Steven hums "Cookie Cat" while running home with Isabella walking ahead of him.

Pearl, Amethyst, and Garnet are fighting a horde of centipeetles inside the house.

Steven opens the door as he and Isabella walk inside, "Hey, guys! You won't believe this!"

Isabella suddenly gets tackled by a centipeetle.

The centipeetle roars as Isabella screams.

Amethyst uses her whip to yank the centipeetle away from Isabella.

"'Sup, guys?"

Pearl uses a spear while Garnet uses gauntlets to fight off the centipeetles.

"Awesome!" Steven sets the freezer on the couch by the window as a centipeetle crawls on the ground, carrying a pillow in its mouth.

"What are these things?" Isabella questions.

Pearl lifts up a centipeetle, groaning, "Ugh! Sorry. We'll get these centipeetles out of your room. We think they were trying to get into the temple."

"Aw. You don't have to get rid of them. They're really cool." Steven told her.

The centipeetle that Pearl is holding spits acid onto the floor. Steven, Isabella, and Pearl look down into the new hole.
