1. It was so intense down there!
Copy !req
2. We were already a few
layers into the Earth's crust
Copy !req
3. when suddenly ...
Wa-pamo! Ka-powie!
Copy !req
4. All these gross Cluster limbs
started clawing at the drill!
Copy !req
5. So, I whip out the old
photon blaster and "pew! pew!
Copy !req
6. P-chow! Chow!"
Take that, Cluster!
Copy !req
7. And Steven was all, "my feelings!"
Copy !req
8. And then up and passes out on me!
Copy !req
9. Then everything started
glowing, and... well, yeah, wait.
Copy !req
10. I'm sure Steven can
fill you in on the rest
Copy !req
11. since he's the one who saved us.
Copy !req
12. You should've seen it, right, Steven?
Copy !req
13. Tell 'em what happened in there!
Copy !req
14. - Steven?
- Hold on a sec.
Copy !req
15. I'll be right back.
Copy !req
16. I see you're worried about your friend.
Copy !req
17. Yeah. When I saw her in my
dreams, it looked like she
Copy !req
18. was fighting so hard to
keep Malachite from escaping.
Copy !req
19. Lapis spent an unbearable
amount of time fused with Jasper.
Copy !req
20. The emotional and physical
strain of that type of fusion,
Copy !req
21. I can't imagine.
Copy !req
22. She's gonna need
a lot of time to recover.
Copy !req
23. - You're right.
- Come on.
Copy !req
24. I'm dying to hear more about
what happened underground.
Copy !req
25. Okay.
Copy !req
26. - Lapis, you're okay!
- Steven!
Copy !req
27. - You're... leaving.
- I have to, Steven.
Copy !req
28. I don't belong on Earth,
not with the Crystal Gems.
Copy !req
29. - I never have.
- It's okay. I understand.
Copy !req
30. I just wish we could've hung out more.
Copy !req
31. I feel like I only get to see you
Copy !req
32. when something horrible's going on.
Copy !req
33. That's just how it is with me.
Copy !req
34. Steven... thank you.
Copy !req
35. - Goodbye again.
- Bye...
Copy !req
36. Are you sure you want to stay?
Copy !req
37. You could always come
back to the temple with us
Copy !req
38. - and live in the bathroom again.
- No thanks.
Copy !req
39. I have seen what goes on in there.
Copy !req
40. Besides, I've grown
accustomed to this place.
Copy !req
41. And I should probably fix the hole
that I made with my giant robot.
Copy !req
42. Mm. Okay, well,
have fun redecorating!
Copy !req
43. Well, that's everything...
and then some.
Copy !req
44. - Steven, you ready to go home?
- All seat belts are fastened!
Copy !req
45. - Peridot says she's staying.
- Eh, it's probably for the best.
Copy !req
46. I don't think she
would've fit in the van.
Copy !req
47. You guys go on ahead.
I'll catch up with you on Lion.
Copy !req
48. Sure, uh, okay.
I'll see you in a bit.
Copy !req
49. See yaaa!
Copy !req
50. Now, where is that feline?
Lion?
Copy !req
51. Hey, Lion?
Copy !req
52. Le-e-e-e-e-on!
Copy !req
53. I have a big steak right
here in my hand for you!
Copy !req
54. Whoops, I dropped it, and
it fell out of existence.
Copy !req
55. You can't hide from me for too
long 'cause you love me so much!
Copy !req
56. Whoa!
Lapis!
Copy !req
57. Whew!
Copy !req
58. - I... thought you left.
- I was leaving.
Copy !req
59. But then I realized
I've got nowhere to go.
Copy !req
60. Who knows what they'd do to me back home
Copy !req
61. after what I did to Jasper.
Copy !req
62. I can't go back to Homeworld,
and I can't stay here.
Copy !req
63. - Sure, you can.
- What?
Copy !req
64. You can totally stay here.
Copy !req
65. It doesn't have to be "here" here.
You can live anywhere.
Copy !req
66. You don't even have to stay in
Beach City if you don't want to.
Copy !req
67. Ooh, y-you could live
in Surf City or Sea City,
Copy !req
68. Aqua Town, Bayburg, and
that's just the places
Copy !req
69. I know of off the top of my head!
Copy !req
70. - I can show you around.
- Really?
Copy !req
71. Yeah. We can find you
a new place to live.
Copy !req
72. I really only know the tri-state area,
Copy !req
73. but my phone's got a
global positioning system.
Copy !req
74. Oh, uh... okay.
Let's go look.
Copy !req
75. - Ready, Freddy?
- My name's Lapis.
Copy !req
76. - You okay like this?
- Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
77. Uhhhh! Uhhhh!
Copy !req
78. Uhh!
Copy !req
79. Whoo!
Copy !req
80. So, how about this? You could
live out here in the country!
Copy !req
81. No noise, no rules.
Copy !req
82. It'd just be you
becoming one with nature.
Copy !req
83. Whoa!
Copy !req
84. - Why would I want to do that?
- It's fun!
Copy !req
85. If you lived in these
trees, you could build
Copy !req
86. a giant bird's nest and
have squirrels for pets.
Copy !req
87. You could eat acorn pie every night,
Copy !req
88. and when it gets hot or it rains, you'd
Copy !req
89. - be protected by these nice leaves.
- Leaves?
Copy !req
90. Lapis, look at this!
Copy !req
91. This leaf turned orange.
Copy !req
92. That means the seasons are
changing from Summer to Fall.
Copy !req
93. Soon, it's gonna happen to all
the leaves on all the trees.
Copy !req
94. Wow.
Copy !req
95. - So, what do you think?
- Oh. I'm not sure.
Copy !req
96. That's okay.
Copy !req
97. There's plenty of places
we haven't been yet.
Copy !req
98. - Come on.
- What's this?
Copy !req
99. This must be Empire City!
Isn't it cool?
Copy !req
100. - It's very... bright.
- Yeah, that's why they say,
Copy !req
101. "what happens in Empire
City never sleeps"!
Copy !req
102. - So, what does happen in Empire City?
- Well, let's see...
Copy !req
103. if you lived here, you
could get a cool apartment
Copy !req
104. and be a single gem
taking on the big city.
Copy !req
105. You'd have a fun job
at a local coffee shop
Copy !req
106. and come home to a wacky roommate.
Copy !req
107. I have no idea what
you're talking about.
Copy !req
108. Aw.
Copy !req
109. Hey, what's that
shadowy place over there?
Copy !req
110. Oh, that's Jersey.
Copy !req
111. Is it populated by machines?
Copy !req
112. No, those are cars.
They make a lot of smog, though.
Copy !req
113. Y-You'd like it in Jersey.
Copy !req
114. The people here seem
to hate the Earth, too.
Copy !req
115. Quit flyin' in our sky, ya mooks!
Copy !req
116. Wow.
Lapis, it's so beautiful up here!
Copy !req
117. Eh, it's all right.
I guess I can see why you like it.
Copy !req
118. Hold on!
Copy !req
119. Whoa!
Copy !req
120. - Check it out!
- Whoo-hoo!
Copy !req
121. Hey, we made it out all
the way over the ocean!
Copy !req
122. I wonder how far out we are.
Copy !req
123. Oh, cool.
The galaxy warp!
Copy !req
124. Um, Lapis? I'm slipping
a little there, bud.
Copy !req
125. Lapis. Lapis, I'm slipping!
I'm gonna...
Copy !req
126. Uh, sorry!
I'm sorry.
Copy !req
127. - This is where I was abandoned.
- What happened?
Copy !req
128. Whoa.
It's like a mirror.
Copy !req
129. It was thousands of years ago.
Copy !req
130. I was only meant to
visit for a short time,
Copy !req
131. but I got caught...
Copy !req
132. in the middle of a war.
Copy !req
133. It was awful.
I tried to run, but...
Copy !req
134. I was picked up
by a Homeworld soldier
Copy !req
135. and confused for a Crystal Gem...
Copy !req
136. and used as a tool.
Copy !req
137. They'd ask me, "show us your base.
Where is your leader?"
Copy !req
138. I didn't know, and I couldn't say,
" I'm not one of them."
Copy !req
139. It soon became clear
that there was no hope
Copy !req
140. in stopping the rebellion.
Copy !req
141. All of the Homeworld gems fled.
Copy !req
142. In all the panic of escaping
Earth, I was left behind.
Copy !req
143. And there I stayed.
Copy !req
144. Freedom in my sight, but
out of reach for ages.
Copy !req
145. Until I was found.
Copy !req
146. - Are you okay?
- I'll... be fine.
Copy !req
147. Let me take you back.
Copy !req
148. Are you sure you don't
want to take a minute?
Copy !req
149. It's fine. I just want
to get out of here.
Copy !req
150. Okay.
Copy !req
151. For a moment, I really felt
like things were different.
Copy !req
152. But they're not. No matter
where I go, I'm trapped.
Copy !req
153. But you're not.
Copy !req
154. You're not underwater,
you're not in a mirror.
Copy !req
155. - This time, you're free!
- But I'm still on Earth.
Copy !req
156. Yeah, but nothing is still on Earth.
Copy !req
157. Everything's always changing.
Copy !req
158. The leaves...
the cities...
Copy !req
159. even Jersey changes.
Copy !req
160. My dad says the rest stops
used to be pretty gross,
Copy !req
161. but now they have sushi!
Copy !req
162. This isn't the same world
that held you prisoner...
Copy !req
163. not anymore, and I know
it doesn't feel like home,
Copy !req
164. but maybe that can change, too.
Copy !req
165. I know you can't go back to
Homeworld, but if you stay here...
Copy !req
166. it'll be your choice to stay here.
Copy !req
167. It's funny.
Copy !req
168. For all the time I spent on
Earth, I barely saw any of it.
Copy !req
169. That's not funny.
That's super sad.
Copy !req
170. - I... I want to see it.
- Yeah?
Copy !req
171. - I want to stay here.
- Here? Like, "here" here?
Copy !req
172. - Yeah, here here!
- Yes, hear, hear, everybody!
Copy !req
173. - What are we talking about?
- You?
Copy !req
174. Lazuli, nice to see you up and about.
Copy !req
175. What are you doing here?
Copy !req
176. This is my new home
away from Homeworld!
Copy !req
177. No, it's not!
It's mine!
Copy !req
178. - Right, Steven?
- Uh... Oh, boy.
Copy !req
