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