【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.
