The Crystal Gems + Greg are all at Greg's car wash.

Pearl is checking out Greg's broken van. 

Amethyst, Garnet and Alex are leaning against a wall next to her.

"Wow. Those water constructs really did a number on Greg's  Van..." Pearl says.

"Ah, give it a rest, Pearl. That thing will be busted forever." Amethyst tells her as she crosses her arms behind her head.

"I completely disagree. It's just a simple human-machine. I'm sure that I figure this whole thing out before you know it." Pearl says confidently.

Steven walks towards them, as Greg scoots over on a movable chair with wheels.


Alex instantly tenses up and looks away in guilt.

Garnet puts a hand on her shoulder gently.

"Hey, guys!" Steven exclaims.

"I got something that will patch this van up real good!" Greg says as he looks through a toolbox.

"Is it some kind of complex human tool?" Pearl gasps excitedly while she cups her hands.

"Yup, high-quality duct tape! Some well, place duct tape can patch anything up in a pinch, see." Gregs says as he shows them his duct tape and then his broken leg. A rule is duct-taped to his leg.

Alex flinches slightly as she sees it. It's all my fault...Every time I'm on a mission someone gets hurt. Its seem that I only give them bad luck...maybe its better if I'm stop going with them.

"I'm sure I can fix that without your tape," Pearl says.

"Well, gee, at least let me give you a hand," Greg says as he tries to stand up with the help of a hockey stick.

He falls back down in his chair, due to his weak leg.

Alex and Steven run over to him and help him.

"I'm so sorry, Uncle Greg. You hurt your leg and your van is broken cause of me." Alex says in a very guilty tone as she looks down.

"You apologize too much," Greg says with a smile.

"Way too much," Garnet sighs and crosses her arms.

"Maybe I shouldn't have tagged along in that crazy adventure. But at least I got to spend time with my favourite guy and my favourite girl." Greg says with a small wink.

Alex smiles slightly.

"Hey, 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 says.

"Yes!" Pearl immediately responds.

Alex looked at her slightly amusingly.

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

"Oh, right, yes! You fix Greg, I'll fix the van." Pearl says as she smiles nervously.

"Nobody has to live with us." She mutters.

Alex hears that and looks confused at her. What problem does she have with Uncle Greg? Actually, they all have a not a very good opinion of him..Why? Is it because of Rose? Alex wonders.

Steven gasps "Yeah! Here goes something new and exciting." He says and licks his hand.

"And disgusting..." Alex mutters under her breath.
