Greg Universe was looking through his old stuff until he found a rock and roll CD cover with a Christmassy design. "Steven's not gonna believe this!"
A few years ago, a young rocker Greg Universe met with Rose Quartz and the Crystal Gems with a CD in his hands. "Hey Rose! Rose over here!" The once diamond turned rebel leader looks over to see the male running up to the gem temple. Pearl looks to see Rose head out to meet with him. "Rose, there you are." The pink haired gem sweeps him off her feet kissing his cheek. "Pearl look who came." She raised an eyebrow at him. "I brought you something." He hands her the CD he made. "It's my Christmas CD."
"What's Christmas?" Rose asks.
"Is it a human thing?" Pearl asked.
"It is, actually Pearl." Greg explains to the Crystal Gems what Christmas is and Rose's eyes lit up with delight taking him by the hand.
Greg smiles at the memory showing Rose the Chistmas lights in Beach City and Pearl "third-wheeling" it up. Steven spots his dad by the house. "Stu-Ball, I was looking through my stuff until I found my old Christmas CD." He takes hold of the CD in his hand, Christmas in the Universe. "Your mom liked it." Steven looks up at him. "Mom liked Christmas?"
"Yeah, she didn't know what it is until I explained it to her." He said walking along the beach with his teenage son. "Her eyes were brighter than any other Christmas lights I've seen." Greg felt the nostalgia sweep over him. "Tomorrow is the Beach City Festival of Lights and this year could be the chance for all of us to go."
"That sounds like fun and I can bring Connie too."
"Dad, can we play your CD?" Greg smiles nodding to head to the house finding a CD player to play it for old time's sake. Pearl remembers the CD and being the "third-wheel" when Greg took Rose to see the Christmas lights. "So Steven what do you think?"
"Dad this sounds really great!"
They continue in listening until the sound of the warp pad resonated. "Who was that?"
Believeing it could be a possible threat, the Crystal Gems summon their weapons ready for the next attack.
It wasn't a threat this time, it was a certain bendy, stretchy, quirky, cartoony, pink pigtailed gem.
