Oh.
Wow.
Thanks.
It's a - A rectangle.
- And a tablet.
My dad bought it, but he decided he didn't need it.
He said something about oversaturation of media being a plague to one's mind.
So I thought you might like it.
Here.
[Gasps.]
- You use your fingers to work it.
- Like my old finger screens.
But now you have the whole world wide web to hang out on.
World wide? Ha.
I had the ability to search and retrieve data - from across multiple star systems.
- Hmm, impressive.
But I can do you one better tubetube.
[Cat yowling.]
Why was this documented? You can log your thoughts on the Internet, too.
You just have to keep it under 140 characters.
That's so many people.
[Clattering.]
I'll make you an account so you can start logging as soon as you want.
[Chuckles.]
I really, really like this, but it's a shame it doesn't come attached to your body.
[Gasps.]
Oh, wait.
I'm gonna leave the profile stuff blank for you - to fill in later.
There.
- Gimme.
[Laughs.]
Behold my innovation.
Cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha.
Cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha.
Haaaaa.
Shing.
Shing.
Haaaaaaa.
Shing, shing! I've harnessed the power of your interlocking fabric strips.
[Chuckles.]
Good thing I grew out of those shoes.
[Sighs.]
To have tech again.
It feels so good when everything is at your fingertips.
Yo.
You guys look like you're having fun.
Oh, Amethyst.
What do you think? - You look like a square.
- It's a rectangle.
Heh, truth.
Anyway, you two ready to go or what? - Go? - Yeah.
Amethyst and I were gonna go hang out, - and we wanted you to come, too.
- Hang out? Oh, yeah.
That's a friend thing to do.
So, where are we hanging out, friends? Ta-da! Welcome to Funland! You've brought me to a sign! Nah, nah.
You got to go inside.
[People screaming.]
[Chuckles.]
A speed pattern transportation circuit.
And a roller coaster.
You got to do the most fun thing in Funland first.
Hmm.
Bold.
Let's follow this logic! [Bell dinging.]
- Three, please.
- Sure.
We got some new rules, first.
[Ding!.]
Uh [Ding!.]
Ugh.
[Ding!.]
Hmm.
[Grunts.]
[Growls.]
Ha-ha! Sorry, guys.
Looks like this squad has some growing to do - before you can ride.
- I do not have to grow.
This height is indicative of my rarity and importance.
I demand entry, you clod! [Clears throat.]
- You kids want another lifetime ban? - No, thanks, Mr.
Smiley.
Shorty squad out.
Well, that stinks.
[Sighs.]
We'll just have to maintain a healthy lifestyle in hopes we grow before the end of the season.
Ugh.
Of course.
Let's just grow.
[Gasps.]
Shape-shifting! Hmm.
[Grunting.]
Uh, Peridot? [Breathing heavily.]
Uh, I I must be a little rusty - Why don't you two just go? - Aw, what? - What.
- You sure? Sure I'm sure.
I can just look up what a roller coaster feels like.
Just hurry up and go so you can hurry up and come back.
Oh, okay.
[People screaming.]
- So good.
- What next? What next? Yes.
What next that doesn't have a height restriction? Uh, there! Ooh.
[Giggles.]
[Both laugh.]
Ha, this place is fun.
Yeah.
It totally does live up to its name.
[Sighs.]
Let's see who can eat the most chili dogs before we go on the tilt-a-whirl.
[Gasps.]
Steven, Amethyst! Look at this being.
Its large head, swollen with thoughts! Those compassionate eyes.
It understands.
I need it.
Now! Peridot, that's a prize.
You have to win it first.
[Dings.]
[Breathing heavily.]
[Grunts.]
Hey, there, Steven.
Mr.
Smiley, you're working the ring toss, too? Yeah.
You could say we're a little "fun-derstaffed.
" [Chuckles.]
I get it.
I'm glad you seeing the humor in it, Steven, because I haven't seen a bed in six days! Oh.
[Chuckles nervously.]
Hyah! [Clatter.]
- I win! - Um, well You have to land the rings first, broski.
Shorty squad throw! [All grunting.]
Okay, last chance.
We got this.
[All sigh.]
- This biz is rigged! - I didn't save Earth for this.
Sorry, Peridot.
Hmm.
No.
We're gonna get you that prize.
Hey, Mr.
Smiley.
Is that Onion trying to light the roller coaster on fire? I'm not falling for that one again.
[Screaming in distance.]
Oh! No! I'm still paying off the last lawsuit! Heh.
Good old Onion.
All this runnin' around.
I'm not even in a union.
Amethyst: Yo, Mr.
S.
While you were gone, Peri got a ring.
- I did? - [whispers.]
We're lying.
Oh, uh, yes, I did land the ring.
I also do not steal Steven's clothes when he's not looking.
- Steven: What? - Huh.
Would you look at that? And I thought this thing was rigged.
Here you go, kid.
It's a little sister.
[Laughs.]
Um, excuse me, but you're wrong.
- I'm supposed to win that one.
- You mean the big guy? Sorry.
That one's 10 rings.
Find cute roommates in your area.
- I'm all set, thanks.
- That toy you won is really cool, Peridot.
You mean that Amethyst won with shape-shifting.
Maybe they should call it shape-shift land, because it's a land where you go to shape-shift.
What's wrong with shape-shifting, bro? You mean besides being an insult to your intended form? - Okay, what's really wrong with it? - I can't do it At all.
- Well, we can help you try.
- What? I didn't ever think I could use my powers, either, but then the Gems helped me out.
- We can help you, too.
- Yeah, man.
[Munches.]
Mmm! We'll give you the shape-shifting lowdown.
[Grunts.]
Shorty squad style.
[Music.]
Ah? Mm.
Ta-da! [Grunts.]
[Cat yowls.]
[Whimpering.]
[Sighs.]
[Chuckles.]
Hup! Hup! Whoa.
[Groans.]
Uh, okay.
Maybe we just have to activate it manually.
You grab her feet.
I'll grab the arms.
- Okay.
- Ready? Pull.
[Both grunt.]
Ow.
- Is it working? - Ow.
- I think so.
- Ow.
- Pull harder! - Ow.
- I think I just heard a crack.
- Ow.
- That's her powers opening, Steven.
- Ow, ow, ow.
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.
Drop me now.
[Grunts.]
This isn't going to work.
- Maybe if we keep trying - No.
My lack of skill is an objective fact.
I'm an era-2 Peridot.
I'm new.
Resources are dwindling on Homeworld.
They can't make Gems like they used to.
That's why they give era-2 Peridots technological enhancements.
Because we don't have powers.
Per, I'mma be really real with you for a sec.
This whole time we've been here, you've just been focusing on what you can't do.
Of course you're not having any fun.
You think that all you are is who you could be, but we don't hang out with you because of who you could be.
We like you.
I know you just heard me.
Stop playing with that thing.
- Ugh.
Gimme that! - No! - You don't need it! - You don't know that! Yes I Do! Wait.
W-W-W-W-Wait.
No! It's all that I am! Peridot.
Metal powers! Dude.
[Giggles.]
Do you know what this means? You can open really tight jars.
You can remove staples without a staple remover.
You can open doors without having to touch them after you wash your hands.
No.
I know exactly what I can do.
[Snores.]
- 10! That's 10! - Wah! That's 10, all right.
Well, I guess you won fair and square, or fair and triangle.
[Mr.
Smiley laughs.]
Because your head looks like a triangle.
Here you go, kid.
You did it, Peridot.
Give it up for pea-pod! No, give it up for the shorty squad.
Look at you go I just adore you I wish that I knew what makes you think I'm so special
Oh.
Wow.
