Peridot: Music?

Steven: Yeah! It's music! Like this, (let go peridot's arm*)

Steven: do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do. (strums his ukulele*)

Peridot: Do-mi-so-do...

Steven: ♫ Isn't it pretty? ♫

Peridot: That's exceedingly simple. isn't that correct y/n?

You: Yup.

Steven strums his ukulele again.

Peridot: Do-mi-so-ti...

Steven: ♫ We're making music. ♫

Peridot: What is the point? You're not making anything.

Steven: Well, if it isn't anything, then why does it sound so good?

Peridot: I suppose it's just interest... Do-mi-so-do. Devoid of substance or purpose, a hypothetical pattern... Do-mi-so-ti. For the satisfaction of bringing it to completion.

Steven: Sure.

Peridot: Do-mi-so-ti. Interest without meaning? Solutions without problems? (looks at you worried*)

You: (to peridot*) Just go with it.

Steven: And then you just add words. Here's what I have been working on.

Steven begins to sing "Peace and Love on the Planet Earth".

Steven:

♫ Life and death and love and birth,  And peace and war on the planet Earth.
Is there anything that's worth more,  Than peace and love on the planet Earth?
Oh-whooah, come on and sing it with me~ ♫

Peridot: Sing?

Steven:

♫ The words relate to the key~ ♫

Peridot: (holds up a key*) Key?

Steven:

♫ If it's a pattern, if it's a pattern,  Then just repeat after me~
Life and death and love and birth- ♫

Peridot:

♫ Life and death and love and birth- ♫

Steven:

♫ Now you sing mi-fa-mi-mi-fa-mi-ti-la! ♫

Steven & Peridot:

♫ And peace and war on the planet Earth! ♫

Steven: Yes, yes! That's it!

You: Bravo you two! (cheers*)

Peridot: Y/N, That's so easy.

Steven: Yeah, but that's what's fun about it. You should write something, you should write a song! You too y/n!
