"This doesn't look good at all," Pearl says worriedly.

"Yeah, this place. It's overgrown." Alex looks around and sees Steven trying to touch the moss."Steven! Don't touch that!" She shouts.

Garnet throws a boulder at the rock and catapults Steven into Pearl's arms.

"You have to be careful, Steven!" Pearl says as she puts him down.

"Why? What is that stuff?" Steven asks.

"It's the moss that Rose Quartz raised on the hill." Garnets answers as she folds her arms.

"My mom planted this stuff?" Steven questions.

Alex looks away bitter.

"Rose Quartz used to climb that hill every spring and then to the moss at the op. But now that Rose is...gone, the moss on the move!" Pearl explains.

"It's lost," Steven says disappointed.

"It's not lost. It's gross." Alex says.

"Yes, but Rose loved it anyway. She saw beauty in everything, no matter how gross. Fortunately, I know just what to do in this situation." Pearl says,

She stands in front of the other Gems. She smiles, opens her eyes, jumps into the air, spins around and strikes a pose.

A glowing, white blob falls out of her gem and into Alex's hands."Is this... police tape?" Alex looks at her.

"Isn't this great? This way, we don't have to use magic. Humans will just see this and walk away." Pearl says.


"I don't think that this is going to work," Alex mutters quietly.


The Gems puts tape all around the entrance of the swamp.

"Who wants to get some lunch?" Steven asks.

"I do," Alex says as she puts her hands into her pockets.

"Nice. Let's go!" Steven cheers.



They walked towards Fish Stew pizza.

"Hey, is that the salty jerk?" Alex says pointing at Lars.

"Lars!" Steven yells.

"Got a high five for you." Steven starts to run towards Lars with his arm raised high, " from waaay down tooooown!" he yells.

"No, Steven! No high fives!" Lars whisper yells.

"Mmmmm, okay," Steven high-fives his chest and Lars slaps it away.

"Steven!" Lars yells.

"So... how come you're not at the Big Donut?" Steven asks

"I don't spend my whole life at work. I do... other things," Lars answers as he flips his jacket over his shoulder.

"Like standing against this wall?" Alex asks unimpressed.

"What does it look like?!" Lars says angrily.

"It looks like you are doing absolutely nothing," She says bored.

"That's the plan, Al-ex. Just playing it cool today, you know?" Lars says grinning.

"Say my name like that again and I'm gonna show "cool". "Alex snaps at him

"We three are so much alike," Steven says.
