The Crystal Gems warp into the beach house, Steven and Isabella looking happy.

"We're finally home!" Steven streches out his arms, "Oh, hello house!"

Garnet turns on the lights as Steven says hello to everything. Isabella yawns and was about to head to her room to sleep when her brother grabs her hand and leads her outside.

"Hello, temple! Hello, beach! Hello, town!" Steven yells as he and Isabella run to the Big Donut, "And hello, our favorite place to get a snack, the Big Donut!"

"Is closed." Isabella points to the sign with a deadpanned expression.

Steven then drags her over to Sadie, who was locking the door.

"Oh hey, Isabella, Steven, haven't seen you for a while. You missed all the earthquakes." Sadie puts her hands in her pockets.

Steven pants, out of breath.

Isabella lets out a yawn, "We were out in the field saving the world."

"Wow, nice." Sadie comments.

"Are you closing up? I really wanted a donut." Steven presses his face against the window, "There's gotta be at least one in there."

"Sorry, I already set the alarm for the night." Sadie apologizes.

"That's alright, Sadie." Isabella waves her hand.

"But Sadie! We've been gone so long, and all the food in our house went bad, and I'm just starving." Steven exclaims.

"Is anything else open right now?" Isabella asks her.

"Um, I think Fish Pizza is still open." Sadie told them.

"I don't know if I'm hungry enough for a meal." Steven says, looking away.

"Steven, you just said you were starving." Isabella smirks.

"No, I'm dying! Blaaah!" Steven dramativally falls into his sister's arms pretending to be dead.

"Well, if you're dead now, I guess you can't come by tomorrow." Sadie jokes.

"What's happening tomorrow?" Isabella asks as Steven opens his eyes.

"If you didn't know, we started baking our own donuts after that workplace safety lawsuit got thrown out. So if you get here tomorrow right when the shop opens, you can have the very first fresh donut of the day."

"What an honor. First thing tomorrow, we'll be here right when the store opens to taste your first delicious donut of the day!" Steven exclaims, dramatically.

"Yeah sure, later Isabella, Steven." Sadie walks off.

...

Isabella sets the alarm for 7:25 and goes outside to see Steven jump up high, slowly floating down, "Steven!"

"Hey, sis! Check it out! I got a new power!"

"How did you do that?" Isabella asks

"I just jumped for joy!"
