Peridot: Then... what is that pearl for?

Pearl recoils back.

Peridot: Well, she can belong to me for now. Ha! A Peridot with a Pearl, what would they say back home?

Pearl: Now listen here, you tiny twerp! In case you've forgotten, you're on our turf now! And I didn't fight a thousand-year war along with arrow and "the fallen" for this planet's independence to take orders from the likes of you!

Peridot: Excuse me? I am a natural technician and a certified Kindergartener. I was made for this! You were made to take orders, not to give them!

Steven: Woah, woah, hang on guys! Now, we can all agree that you are both good at building things, so can't you just try listening to each other?

Pearl & Peridot: No!

Pearl: I'm as good at building things as you. Better, even!

Peridot: Hah! Name one thing you can engineer better! Go on!

Steven: (whispers*) Robots.

Pearl & Peridot: Hmm?

Iron: What?

Steven: You should build robots. Giant robots! I see a race. A giant robo-race! With prizes! Giant robo-prizes!

Iron: You mean like a competition between them?

Steven: Yeah Iron! To see who's better at building stuff!

Peridot: What are these "robots" you speak of?

Iron: I have no Idea peridot

Steven: They're like those funky marble guys you were sending! Only bigger, and you can ride them! (imitates robot noises*)

Peridot: Hah, building one of these robots will be easy!

Pearl: Well, I can build one faster! (runs into the barn*)

Peridot: That's what you think! (follows suit*)

Pearl and Peridot begin to build their respective robots while You, Iron, and Steven watches in awe. Garnet and Amethyst then arrive at the barn

Amethyst: Wassup Iron

Iron: Greetings Amethyst and the "Garnet"

Garnet: Nice to see you too you Iron.

Amethyst: Yo Steven,y/n, how are the wonder nerds doing- Woah! Wh-what's going on? Are they building the drill?

Steven: !whispers*) No. We're building robots now.

The power tools start making loud noises, causing Amethyst, You, and  Steven to cover their ears.

Amethyst: What'd you say!?

Steven: I SAID-!

Suddenly, Pearl, donning her space suit, rides out of the barn in her robot, showing off its mobility.

Steven: GIANT ROBOT!

Peridot: Hah! Pathetic. (Peridot marches out in her own robot*) Now, behold, my vision of ultimate power!

Peridot laughs as she shows off her robot's claws. She then notices the height of Pearl's robot, compared to hers, and gasps.

Peridot: Hey!

Pearl: Mine's taller. I win.

Time Skip*

Steven: Ladies and gentle-Gems, welcome to the first annual Robolympics!

Garnet: (clappinh*) Woo!

Amethyst: (chewing on popcorn*) Popcorn!

You are just sitting there clapping at the two and Iron was just sitting next to you.
