Okay. This shouldn't take too long.
Most gems come around pretty quickly
when I invite them to Little Homeschool in person.
What a gorgeous planet.
Whoa.
It's okay, little guy.
Wow, Steven.
It took you a whole 5 seconds to make a new friend.
You're getting rusty.
You know, I never used to notice creatures like this.
Before Earth and you,
I used to terraform planets without thinking twice.
I wonder what I destroyed.
Life like this is so precious.
Uh, Steven.
Ah. So the rumors are true.
You think they didn't get your message
that we're not destroying planets anymore?
I'm sure they did. Everyone did.
But I'll get them to stop.
This might be harder than you think.
There they are.
Hey! Stop!
Wait a minute. That's Steven Universe.
He's smaller than I thought.
Well, what do you think?
We're almost done with this world.
And who's this?
We don't need the extra help.
You must have heard about our exemplary work.
That's why you're here, I presume.
Yeah. Well, no.
Look, the empire is over.
We know.
The diamonds don't control you anymore.
That's right.
So you don't have to terraform planets for them anymore.
You're free to do whatever you like.
Why don't you come on down to Little Homeschool,
where you can... Oh, I see.
This is just a misunderstanding.
Terraforming is what we like.
Ugh, here we go.
Uh, okay. Wait.
You're free to do whatever you like,
as long as it's not destroying a world.
That's not what you just said a second ago.
Why would we stop?
Because it's wrong.
Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait.
How can the thing we've always done just suddenly be wrong?
At the very least, we've got to finish this world.
We're almost done.
Team huddle? Team huddle.
One moment, please.
You're right. This is harder than usual.
You've just got to force them to stop.
This is going to be a fight.
They're not nice like me.
Um...
Exactly.
They just don't understand that they're doing harm.
Y... you get it. What made it click for you?
A cycle of horrible torture.
But other than that, living in nature, getting creative.
Yeah. Come on. We can do that for them.
Okay. Just a little torture.
No, just the other stuff.
Fine. We'll try it your way.
Hey. So, why don't we explore the many things you can do
that don't involve destroying worlds?
Should we listen to him?
He is half diamond.
Maybe we should half listen.
I'll take that as a "yes." Let's go.
Ah, look at the trees.
Smell the fresh air.
Getting any life-altering tingling sensations yet?
Everything is so bright.
I prefer only two colors... the colors of rock and mud.
I understand you don't see the beauty of this, but you will.
There was a time when I couldn't see it either,
but I learned to appreciate organic life.
It's really different, and special.
Maybe try something like this.
This is meep morp.
It's subjective and debatable,
but it is meep morp, nonetheless.
So, you can do whatever you want with your powers,
but you choose to make junk.
It... it doesn't have to be exactly this.
You can create anything.
So lifelike, I forgot.
Okay.
It's more satisfying than you think.
Trust me. Just give it a try.
That's it.
Try making other shapes, too... anything you want.
That was way easier than what we've been doing.
Yeah. We can clear out this planet in no time.
Steven, this isn't working.
Looks like you two still have a lot of energy to get out.
Maybe you'd like something more physical... like dance.
Dance?
Just check this out.
Uh, let's get back to it.
I get it. This stuff won't make you feel good right away.
Maybe it never will.
But it will help you navigate your new way of feeling.
If you don't like dancing,
you could try expressing yourself through song.
Huh?
♪ Ooh
♪ Why so blue?
♪ So many shades of sorrow got mixed into my hue ♪
♪ And each new moment just astounds me ♪
♪ So much I want to do
♪ I finally feel my color shining through ♪
♪ I'm tired of the fighting
♪ I'm tired of the blame
♪ That mirror was a prison
♪ And fusion was the same
♪ What's with these new sensations ♪
♪ That suddenly appear
♪ Deep as the roaring ocean
♪ Free as the atmosphere
♪ Ooh
♪ Why so blue?
♪ So many different reasons
♪ But are they really true?
♪ I want to keep on going
♪ Want to be right here with you ♪
♪ I'd love to see your color shining through ♪
Uh...
You really expect us to dance and sing like Pearls?
Forget it, Steven Universe.
You've already got a Lapis doing what you want...
and look how dull it's made her.
Or was she always this pitiful?
There's no need to be hurtful.
We're just trying to... Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh.
You've taken enough of our time.
Let's get back to it, shall we?
That's it! I've had enough of you two.
Wait. We agreed we wouldn't fight.
If we had done this my way,
we would've been done from the start.
Wait!
Hey, you two! That's enough!
Oh, look who it is.
Have you decided to give us a hand.
You could say that.
Did she just do that?
She did that.
Water hands, huh?
Mind if we try?
Oh, boy.
Lapis, are you okay?
I'm fine. Stay out of it.
Water chains?
You really need to stop teaching us new things.
Lapis!
We really have to thank you
for all the wonderful things you taught us today.
Turns out they're not totally useless.
Look out!
Who's dull now?
Who's pitiful now?
Hey. You okay?
Yeah. Sorry about that.
Hey, we're done. No more fighting.
Sure. Fine by me.
And no more terraforming.
You'll leave this planet alone?
Uh-huh.
After that ridiculous show of strength,
we'll do anything you say.
That wasn't strength. That was weakness.
Restraint takes strength.
Patience takes strength!
Ugh.
I don't have the strength to deal with you.
Here's some brochures for our school
in case you're interested.
I wish I hadn't done that.
It's just, they reminded me so much of myself.
It's infuriating.
Give yourself a break.
You've grown a lot.
It's not your fault they're stuck in their ways.
Uh, so, is this that school you mentioned?
Yeah! Welcome.
