"Hey guys!" Steven greets as he and Isabella walk over to the Gems.

Greg scoots over using a hockey stick while sitting on a movable chair with wheels, "Zoop!" he looks through a toolbox in his lap, "I got something that will patch this van up real good!"

Pearl gasps and cups her hands, "Is it some kind of complex human tool?"

"Yup, high-quality duct tape!" Greg holds up some duct tape, "Some well placed duct tape can patch anything up in a pinch, see?" he gestures to his broken leg, with a ruler duct-taped to it.

"I'm sure I can fix this without your tape." Pearl told him.

"Well, gee, let me at least give you a hand." Greg tries to stand up to help Pearl, with the assistance from his hockey stick.

"Dad, be careful." Steven told him as he falls back down in his chair, due to his weak leg.

"I'm sorry you hurt your leg and your van got all smashed up because of us." Isabella apologizes.

Greg pats her head, "You apologize too much. Maybe I shouldn't have tagged along in that crazy adventure. But at least I got to spend some time with my fave guy and gal!"

"What if you stayed with us until you got better?" Steven suggests.

"Hey, that's a great idea! But, won't I get in the way of your training?" Greg asks.

"Yes!" Pearl responds quickly.

"Wait, Isabella. Don't you have healing powers now?" Amethyst asks.

Pearl smiles nervously, "Oh, right, yes! You fix Greg, I'll fix the van..." she murmurs, "Nobody has to live with us."

Steven gasps, "Yeah!"

"Okay, I'll give it a shot." Isabella licks her palm and places it on Greg's injured leg, "Okay, you should be better now." Isabella told him.


"Okay, if you say so." Greg tries to stand up, but is unable to and falls back in his chair.

"Dad!" Steven exclaims in panic.

"Why didn't it work?" Isabella asks.

"Hey, sorry, sweetheart. Maybe you just need a little more practice." Greg places a hand on her shoulder.

"But... I was doing so well before!" Isabella says.

"Isabella, don't worry about it. Your powers are a bit fickle, after all." Pearl told her.

"Just give it a bit more time." Garnet chimes in.

"Cheer up, you two! At least now we get to spend some more time together, right?" Greg told them.

"Yeah, right." Isabella and Steven say in unison.

"Garnet, can you give me a hand?" Pearl asks.

Garnet lifts Greg's van up and the engine of the van falls out of it.

Steven, Greg, and Isabella jump in fright.

In the Beach House, Greg, Steven, and Isabella throw some confetti into the air.
