After being thrown into a dark empty room by Yellow Diamond, Y/n and Stevonnie attempt to get out by bashing against the door with Steven's shield, but the two get blown back when the shield breaks.

"Ughh..." Y/n groans as he picks himself up. 

"Hmm. Not getting out that way." Stevonnie hum as they  looks up and spot something. "A window!"

Stevonnie climbs up and looks out of the window, finding themselves in a solitary tower high above the ground. They then accidentally slip and fall off the window, unfusing back into Steven and Connie.

"You two okay?" Y/n asks them.

Steven nods. "Mm-hmm."

Connie sighs and pulls out a Protes bar. "Well... Good thing I grabbed a couple of these before the ball. Otherwise, we'd have nothing to eat. Can't escape Gem prison on an empty stomach." She says as she 

Connie breaks the energy bar into three pieces. She hands a piece each to Y/n and Steven, and the three chomp down on the energy bar.

"We never should have come here." Steven says regretablly now.

Connie swallows her food. "What?" She asks him.

"This whole plan! What was I even thinking?" Steven says.

"Steven, you were thinking that if we came to Homeworld and talked to the Diamonds that maybe we could save all the corrupted Gems on Earth. It's a noble cause." Y/n says.

"Oh right. And look where that got us." Steven says frustrated.

"Look, we all knew it wouldn't be easy." Y/n tells him.

"Yeah, but I didn't think I'd get every Crystal Gem poofed at the same time. And what'll Dad say when he finds out? His only son, in jail at fourteen! What a disgrace..." Steven says disappointed in himself.

"Not every Crystal Gem Steven. Connie and I are still here and we can't give up. Let's figure this out one step at a time. We'll think of something." Y/n tells the two wanting to keep the morale up. 

"Okay, so, we tried the bubble and the shield and that window. What else have we got? Uh... Hey, our phones. Oh, wait. No reception. Not that there's anyone we could call for help anyway." Connie says.

Steven, curled up in distress, begins to slip into his psychic mind state, but quickly wakes up, breaking out of the state and gasps in shock and realization.

"How long do you think they'll keep up locked up in here?" Connie asks. 

"Maybe 100 years?" Y/n tries to make a light joke.

"That's it!" Steven says.

"Really? 100 years?!" Connie cries in shock.

"No, call for help. There's one Crystal Gem left that hasn't been poofed, and that's Bismuth. Maybe I can reach her with my sleeping psychic mind powers.

"You think you can do that? Reach all the way to Earth with your mind?" Connie asks Steven.

"It'll be a stretch for sure, but I won't know unless I try." Steven says.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Bedtime, mister!" Connie says as she sits down and pats her lap.

Steven lies on Connie's laps. "All right. Here goes nothing!" Steven says as he closes his eyes.
