Steven and the Gems are walking through the piles of random junk in Amethyst's room, in search of an object causing the foul odor throughout the temple.

"How can you live like this?" Pearl asks Amethyst.

"It was fine 'til you guys started whining." Amethyst grumbles.

Pearl covers her nose. "Whining?! The whole temple reeks!"

Steven probes some garbage with a stick and retrieves something wrapped in tinfoil. "I found it!"

Pearl pinches her nose. "What matter of magical alloy is this?"

Steven unwraps the tinfoil, and a puff of green gas plumes out.

"It's a burrito." Garnet comments.

Amethyst takes the visibly rotten burrito. "It's the Tuna Burrito from Aqua-Mexican!"

"That place closed like five years ago!" Steven says but Amethyst takes a bite of the burrito, Steven flinches in disgust and Pearl looks on in horror. Huh, what's this?" Steven asks as he spots a painting of the Gems and Rose Quartz on it. "It kinda looks like you guys and my mom."

"Oh Steven, that is us." Pearl says excitedly.

"Really?" Steven asks  unsure.

"The hard part was getting the shark to pose." Garnet says.

"Why is everyone dressed like old timey people?" Steven asks now.

Pearl places the painting on top of a junk pile. "They are old timey people."

"Wait... But that would mean... how OLD are you guys?" Steen asks suprsied.

"Much older than any human." Pearl answers.

"Does that mean you'll live forever?!" Steen asks hopefully.

"No, no. We don't age." Pearl says and Steven makes a huge smile. "But we can still get hurt and die." Steven's smile quickly turns into a big frown. Amethyst then starts moaning in pain, visibly sickened, and keels onto the ground. "...But not from food poisoning."

"I just can't believe you guys are like a bazillion years old! How do you find a cake big enough for all those candles?"

Garnet briefly looks at Pearl who is confused. "We don't really celebrate birthdays."
