"Kids, you wanna help us with these...groceries?" Greg calls from the outaide.
"Coming."
"I'll be right there!"
Greg and the Crystal Gems walk in, all of them carrying groceries.
"Eh? Eh?"
"Check this out." Amethyst says in a muffled voice before spitting out an egg, "It's farm fresh."
Isabella raises an eyebrow, "Why'd you by groceries? The fridge is full."
"Not the fridge at our vacation house!" Greg pulls out a confetti popper as the Gems clap and cheer.
"Whoo! Vacation!"
"I thought, "Why spend money on hoses when I can spend it on houses?" So I found a place we could rent for the weekend by searching online." Greg holds up his phone, showing an image of their vacation house with a four star rating, "Back in the old days, we just went door-to-door hoping one was unlocked. But, this is the new days!"
"Okay. Well, have fun." Steven waves.
"Uh, Steven, you and your sister are going on vacation, too." Greg coughs and glances at Pearl.
"Oh, yes. This is the perfect time for a vacation-I mean, how often are we on the same planet together?" Pearl says.
"Yeah. And you'll be with your favorite Gems, and your favorite dad." Amethyst adds.
"Agree with Amethyst. Turn to Isabella and Steven. Isabella, Steven, you should go. No, with more enthusiasm. Isabella, Steven, it's a vacation!" Garnet gives them a thumbs-up.
"I mean, I would, but I'm really tied up with something important." Steven checks his phone again.
"Steven, put that stupid phone away. We'll go. I need to take my mind off of things." Isabella says.
"Aced it!" Garnet pumps her fist.
...
Greg drives his van up to the front of their vacation house, Steven's eyes fixated onto his phone, "Here it is, temporary home sweet temporary home."
Everyone gets out and begin to unload the van.
"Dad? Are those our mattresses?" Isabella asks.
"Yeah." Greg answers, "I want you and Steven to be as comfortable as possible, finally have some family time. I feel like you two haven't had that in a while."
"Yeah." Isabella looks away.
"Yeah, maybe." Steven adds as he was still staring at his phone.
"This place is great! They have one of those refrigerators that dispense water, not to mention four windows, and an analog clock!"
Pearl reads off a piece of memo, "Hmm, says here we can't use the water dispenser or the clock. Windows must be kept closed at all times, and remove all shoes before entering. Hmm." she notices a pair of shoes outside the house, picking them up and throwing them away before walking inside the house.
Amethyst peeks out through the doorway, "Hey, Greg, did you invite anyone else? Party guy, about three feet long, hissing, reptilian?"
"No...?"
"Well...You might want to factor in a plus-one."
"Oh! Party guy! No!" Pearl shouts as hissing and clashing sounds could be heard from inside the house.
"I promise. It's gonna be a really good time." Greg told his children.
Steven keeps looking down at his phone, "It's a great place, Dad."
