【Later.】
[Steven is seen running to the temple, he then bursts through the door of the beach house.]
Steven: No! No-n-n-n-no! Th-Th-This isn't happening!
[Steven, distraught, sits down on the couch.]
Steven: *sighs* Tell me this isn't true.
[Steven holds his hands out in front of him.]
Steven: If this is a dream, somebody please wake me up now.
[Steven says as he grabs his head, and that's when he remembers something.]
Steven: Heck, I forgot Peede also asked me to help him with something! I'd better call him now.
[Steven takes out his phone and calls Peedee, who picks up.]
Peedee: *through the phone* Steven, what's the matter?
Steven: Oh hey, Peedee, what's up? I'm just, uh... I'm calling you because of what you told me the other day.
Peedee: *through the phone* Oh, really? Well, don't worry about that anymore, we'll manage on our own. Anyway, I should go, I'm quite busy at the moment. *hang up the call*
Steven: Geez, I got the impression he was kinda upset about something.
[Steven tosses the phone aside on the couch.]
Steven: *grunts* Why?! Why is all this happening!? I did everything right! Sure, I could've prevented all this from happening, but... I was busy doing what my therapist advised me to do, otherwise this year of therapy would've gone down the drain, wouldn't it? *sighs* What do I do now!? Mr. Dewey's dead! Buck and Peedee are mad at me! Onion's hurt! On top of that, my stupid powers aren't workin--
[Just then, Steven's whole body turns pink after such a long time without that happening.]
Steven: Aahh!
[Steven is startled by such an event, but then takes a deep breath and returns to normal.]
Steven: This is more serious than I thought, only the Gems can help me now. None of them have been home in three days, I guess they must be out on a field trip, or maybe they are too busy with some important Little Homeschool business.
【Transition.】
[Steven warps into Little Homeworld and sees how in the whole place there is nothing but utter desolation.]
Steven: What the--?!
[A tumbleweed rolls by.]
Steven: Just like in the movi-- Hold on a sec, why is nobody here?!?!?!
[A bewildered Steven scours a desolate Little Homeworld in search of the Gems who should be there.]
Steven: *shouts* Garnet! Amethyst! Pearl! Where are you?!
【Scene change to Bismuth's forge.】
Steven: Bismuth, are you here?!
[Peridot's greenhouse.]
Steven: Peridot! Lapis! Are you guys in there?!
[The center of Little Homeworld.]
Steven: IS ANYONE HERE?!?! A NEPHRITE!!! A QUARTZ!!! A RUBY!!! WHOEVER!!!
[Steven walks near the Little Homeworld warp pad.]
Steven: This is worrisome, Little Homeworld isn't usually empty.
