Steven slowly wakes up and to find himself in the middle of a lush grassy field, facing a group of flowers.
"Steven? Steven? Steven." Greg voice faintly calls out.
Steven then wakes up in the back of Greg's van with tears pouring down his face. He touches his tears and is shocked to find himself crying. He looks up inside the back of Greg's van to see a TV, playing a movie of a UFO abducting a cow.
"You okay, bud?" Greg asks him. "You fell asleep during the movie. I was gonna let you sleep, you looked so cute. But, then you started crying, and that was less cute."
Steven sits up and wipes away the tears from his face.
"Haha, no, I'm fine. I dunno why I was crying. M...my dream wasn't really sad." Steven says before he yawns and Greg checks his watch.
"Oh gee, look at the time, and my classy new watch. Let's get you home, bud."
Greg brings Steven back home, and they walk toward the stairs to the house.
"Eh, you didn't miss much. Turns out they were abducting cows 'cause they needed milk for their cereal planet." Greg says.
Steven climbs up the stairs, abruptly stopping halfway up before turning around. "Dad, before you go, can I ask you something?"
"Yeah, of course!" Greg says to him.
"Did Mom ever talk to you about... Pink Diamond?" Steven asks.
"There were some things your mom didn't like to talk about." Greg tells him. "I never pressed her for details."
"Why not?"Steven asks him.
Greg approaches Steven and sits down next to him on the stairs. "Rose and I talked about tons of important stuff. Music, comic books, getting sand between your toes, y'know, feelings. We both made a lot of mistakes when we were young. I thought disco was coming back, she started a war, I think she felt like she needed to confess everything to me, but I told her, "The past is the past. All that matters to me is who you are now." And who she was, was an incredible, loving being."
Steven hugs Greg now. "Night, Dad."
Greg hugs Steven back. "Night, Steven."
Steven gets dressed into his pajamas, climbs into bed, and falls asleep, sighing.
Steven wakes up inside his dream again, in the middle of the lush field with flowers from earlier.
'I'm here again...' Steven thinks to himself. 'Huh? I guess I can look around. What is this place? What's... what is... woah...' Steven spots the dilapidated overgrown remains of a Palanquin on his left.
Steven suddenly sits up in his bed. "Huh?" He wipes his hand across his face, finding himself crying again, to his confusion.
It was the Next Day in the beach house as Connie sweeps a bunch of papers off Steven's living room table, as Y/n and Steven sit down next to her and watched the papers scatter.
"Sorry, I'll clean that up later!" Connie says excitedly and she places the journal of Buddy Buddwick on the table. "When you told me about your dream, I thought it sounded familiar."
