Pearl: "Oh hush, I just find it astonishing how fast his mind is evolving, I never got to see what it was like when a Metamorin was created" 'Pearl says as Chip places a book on the large stack next to him he then grabs a new book and begins reading it'
Steven: "Maybe he was built for Science stuff! And that's why he can learn it so quickly!" 'Steven suggests excitedly'
Pearl: "That is possible I suppose, it's not like there was a manual or anything for him'

'Garnet looks over at Chip noticing he has read nearly all the books she had given him earlier'

Steven: "I promise!" 'Steven says loudly as he runs over to Chip and drags him over to the door'
Pearl: "Steven be gentle with him!" 'Pearl calls out sternly causing steven to let go of Chip nervously'

'Chip follows closely behind as he Jog's at Steven's pace'

Steven: "Yes please but I'll need two this time"
'Sadie takes out two chocolate donuts and puts them in individual bags before she notices Chip a small smile spreading across her face'
Sadie: "So who's this? Another one of your space friends?" 'Sadie asks with a small laugh'
Steven: "Kinda! I mean it's kinda hard to explain, But he is kinda shy. He dosent know much so I'm showing him around" 'Steven says happily as he pays for the donuts and takes the bags'
Sadie: "Well it's nice to meet ya, I'm Sadie and...this is Lars"
Lars: "Yo" 'Lars says without looking away from his phone's screen'
'Chip waves shyly while stepping out from behind Steven with his Iris returning to his Normal bright Blue color causing Sadie's eyes to widen'

'Steven looks at Chip who is extreamly confused causing him to chuckle to himself'
Steven: "You're supposed to eat it, its food!" 'Steven says which seems to clear up Chip's confusion'
'Chip tilts his head, he beeps to himself quietly as he opens his mouth,
Due to his long fang like eye teeth he opens his mouth much larger than a normal person, his mouth emits a blue glow as he takes a bite out of his donut and chews it quietly''Chip's iris shapes into a glowing green star as he beeps loudly'
Steven: "So does that mean you like it?" 'Steven asks earning a nod from Chip as he smiles happily'

'Once Steven begins to walk up the steps to the temple he looks at Chip nervously who looks like he's about to pass out'
Steven: "You feeling okay buddy?" 'Steven asks with a worried voice'
'Chip responds with a weak and glitched mechanical whine as his iris flickers out for a moment before returning to flashing red and blue'
'Steven eventually makes his way inside the beach house where Garnet and Amethyst are seen playing cards, Amethyst has a defeated look on her face as she looks down at her two remaining cards'
Steven: "Guuuys! There somthing wrong with Chip!" 'Steven says loudly causing Garnet to stand up and walk over to the two of them'
'Garnet crouches down to Steven and Chip's height, Chip smiles weakly with his Iris turning Green in between its red flashes'
'A small smile forms on Garnets face as she picks Chip up by his midsection causing Steven to trip momentarily before regaining his balance'
Garnet: "There's nothing wrong with him Steven, he's just low on battery power, he must have been very low charge when we found him" 'Garnet says with a reassuring tone of voice as she lays Chip down on the couch'
Amethyst: "So how do we fix...that?" 'Amethyst asks as Steven sits down with a sigh of relief'
Garnet: "We let him rest, once he wakes up he will need to fuel his reactor" 'Garnet says calmly as she looks at Steven and Amethyst'
Steven: "Well that shouldnt take long"
Amethyst: "Yeah he's already asleep!" 'Amethyst says loudly'
Garnet: "Then you should speak quietly" 'Garnet says sternly as she places a blanket over Chip as he sleeps'
Amethyst: "What's with the Blanket? He's a robot..." 'Amethyst says clearly confused'
Garnet: "It's so he's comfortable, he may be robotic on the inside but his skin and senses are very human" 'Garnet says calmly as she walks away leaving a bored Steven and very confused Amethyst'
