"...What am I looking at right now?" Y/n asked as they witnessed Peridot squirming around, trying to grab a microwave while she was leashed to a nearby fence

"I put Peridot on a leash," Garnet told

"I see that," Y/n said, "...But why?"

"She was being annoying," Garnet said

"You never tied her up to a fence before," Y/n commented

"She asked me to unfuse because it made her uncomfortable," Garnet informed, "Her having free reign of the place made me incredibly uncomfortable,"

"Ah," Y/n nodded

"Ah, Y/n just the person I wanted to see," Pearl approached, "Do you have any tungsten on you?"

"Not on me, no," Y/n told

"Do you know where we can obtain tungsten?" Pearl asked

"Not for cheap, but yeah," Y/n said

"In large quantities?" Pearl clarified

"...I'll find a supplier, give me an hour or two," Y/n said

"Much appreciated," Pearl smiled as she walked off

"Yo, Y/n!" Amethyst called, "Back already?"

"School's out for today," Y/n told

"I just need some sort of leverage optimizer," Peridot grunted as she tried reaching for a nearby screwdriver

"Leverage optimizer?" Amethyst laughed a bit

"That's what I said," Peridot confirmed

"Ooooh! Ha, you mean you want a screwdriver?" Amethyst asked with a laugh

"Do you have one or not?" Peridot groaned, "Oh! The Y/n has returned again!"

"Peridot, just call them Y/n," Steven told, "No 'the' involved,"

"Right," Peridot groaned, "Y/n, these clods are not being helpful, hand me a leverage optimizer,"

"Say please," Y/n said as they picked a screwdriver off the floor

"Ugh, please?" Peridot said

"Here's your screwdriver," Y/n smiled as they handed it over

"He-hey, hey Peridot, what do you call this?" Amethyst laughed as she pointed to her nose

"Scent sponge," Peridot replied

"Huh?" Steven frowned as he looked down to his nose

"Okay, what's this?" Amethyst held open her eye

"Vision sphere," Peridot said

"Peridot, that's—" Steven tried to correct

"Wait, wait, Steven. Peridot, these?" Amethyst wiggled her fingers

"Touch stumps," Peridot said as she clenched her teeth, clearly annoyed

"Guys, you're bothering her," Y/n warned

"This?!" Amethyst laughed as she pointed to her foot

"Gravity connectors!" Peridot seethed

"This?!" Amethyst pointed to her butt

"THAT'S YOUR BUTT," Peridot yelled in annoyance

"Oh man, Peridot, you're killing me!" Steven laughed hysterically and he slapped the microwave

"I am not! That would violate our truce agreement!" Peridot reminded

"No, no, no— You're funny!" Amethyst told
