The new intro is here

Steven and Connie are sitting on the top-right hand of the Crystal Temple statue, tuning their ukulele and violin respectively. The pair then proceeds to sing a duet.

 ♫ The sun is bright, our shirts are clean.  We're sitting up above the sea. Come on and share this jam with me. ♫

Connie starts playing her violin and singing a verse now. ♫ Peach or plum or strawberry, any kind is fine, you see.  Come on and share this jam with me!  I'll do my best, to give this jam the sweetness it deserves. ♫

 ♫ And I'll keep it fresh, I'm jamming on these tasty preserves! ♫  Steven sings.

 ♫ Ingredients in harmony, we mix together perfectly, come on and share this jam with me! ♫ Steven and Connie then sing together.

"WOO-HOO! Jam buds!" Steven cheers.

"Nice jam session!" Connie says as she puts her violin back in the case.

"Don't forget the best part!" Steven spreads some strawberry jam on a biscuit and prepares to eat it, when a flock of seagulls approaches and growls at Steven. Steven screams and flinches, when he sees Connie using her violin bow to fend them off.

"Yah! Hah! Hi-yah! Run back to your masters! Tell them we're not afraid of your kind!" Connie declares pointing the bow at the birds.

Steven just giggles. "Thanks for saving my jam snack. Unfortunately, it's not safe from me." He says then stuffing it in his mouth. "You're such a good sword fighter, Connie."

"Really?" Connie asks as she glances at her violin bow. "I was just swinging this thing around. I don't really know what I'm doing, but I'd love to learn how to use a real sword!"

"Oh!" Steven swallows the snack and gets starry eyes. "Steven has an idea!"


Steven had taken Connie inside the Beach house now where Pearl was sitting down on the living table looking confused at the two. "You want me to do what?" She asks.

"You should teach Connie to sword-fight like you did Y/n, she's already so good!" Steven says

"Steven!" Connie blushes.

"But you are! You took down that evil clone of herself, uh... those mean seagulls just now..."

"You're awfully young to begin something like this." Pearl says skeptical but she thinks. "But, I suppose I was only a few thousand years old when I began fighting alongside Rose Quartz."

Connie raises her hand for Pearl's attention.

"Yes, Connie?" Pearl says.

"Please, I wanna learn!" Connie says as she blushes. "I mean, I don't know what'll happen in the future, but if something dangerous comes along, I don't wanna be a burden, I wanna help! I wanna be there for Steven, to fight by his side like Y/n does! The Earth is my home too, can't I help protect it?"

Pearl is touched with tears of joy. "Oh... Okay...!" Pearl says as she  stands up and wipes away her tears. "If that's how you feel, we should get started!" She says as she walks off towards the warp pad.

"Woo-hoo!" Steven cheers as he follows Pearl.

"Wait, now?" Connie asks.
