Steven and Amethyst are walking through a grassy field while Amethyst is cracking her newly-obtained flail.

"Did you see that? Wa-poosh, just wa-poosh!" Amethyst asks Steven

"That's great, Amethyst. You're getting so fast." Steven replies

"No! This is worse! This morning, it was like wshh! Just wshh! Superfast, like wshh-wshh!" Amethyst says

"Uh-huh. I think this is why a day off would be good for you. You should take a break from obsessing over Jasper." Steven suggests

Amethyst begrudgingly dispels her flail and sighs. "Are you sure we have to do this now?"

"Yes! Visiting Turquoise, Peridot, and Lapis will be so much fun!" Steven says excitedly

"Yeah, 'cause when I think "fun", I think" "Lapis". Amethyst begrudgingly says

"I wonder what they're up to."

"Maybe they drove each other crazy and burned or froze the barn." Amethyst jokes

"Woah... They sure did something to the barn."

Steven and Amethyst stop walking, having reached the barn, and stare at the now heavily-modified barn. Some modifications includes a truck placed into the ceiling, the silo moved to cover up the previously broken side of the barn, a small tent next to it with a green Canadian flag, and various ornaments hanging around. Peridot, wearing a bowtie and sitting on Turquoise's lap and Lapis, is seen sitting on the back of the truck, watching "Camp Pining Hearts" on a TV.

"But Paulette, I need you!" The TV says

"Oh, get over it, Percy. Go make another friendship bracelet." Peridot says

"Seriously." Lapis says

"I don't understand why they brought them back this season," Turquoise adds

"Turquoise, Lapis! Peridot! Hi!" Steven calls out

Turquoise, Peridot, and Lapis look down and see Steven and Amethyst. Peridot and lapis both smile ecstatically as Lapis floats down with her water wings and Peridot crawls into the truck to exit from inside the barn, Turquoise takes a step off the truck and landing on his feet.

"Good morning, Steven, Amethyst." Turquoise greets them

"Steven! It's so good to see you again!" Lapis says

"You too, Lapis!" Steven replies

"Amethyst! Something looks different about you." Peridot starts

"Like what?" Amethyst says shocked

"Have you grown taller since the last time I saw you?" Peridot asks

"Nope,still short." Amethyst says bluntly

Peridot laughs. "You're welcome! For the joke."

"Wow, you guys are looking good! And I love what you did to the barn!" Steven says, looking at the barn

"Awh, I know. But wait, wait! You guys have to see the inside!"
