Iron: Fine. (runs along with peridot*)

Steven: They have come so far. It feels like yesterday they were trying to kill us.

Pearl: No no, that was several weeks ago.

You: Pearl, it was meant figuratively not literally.

Peridot: Coordinates! We still need the Cluster's exact coordinates in order to drill!

Pearl: There's a Diamond Base that may hold that information, but getting there is going to be difficult.

Steven: How come?

Pearl:Because it's not accessible by warp pad. And it's on...! (gazes upwards*)

Steven: (gasps*) The mooooooon!

Pearl: Yes, Steven, the moon.

You: "Luna" earth's only moon. I wonder if Neil Armstrong know about the gems.

Pearl: I'm sure it's not a big of a deal y/n.

Steven: Lion! Can you make us a special super warp to the moon?

Lion grunts and stretches his limbs, ignoring Steven and continues napping.

Steven: Come on, Lion, we gotta do this to stop the Cluster! If we don't there's gonna be no more Earth! No more fun times with your pals, no more Lion Lickers... no more naps?

On that remark, Lion gets up and roars, glaring at Steven with glowing white eyes.

Steven: (turns to the Gems*) Guess it was naps.

Lion carries the You and Gems on his back, Iron didn't come because she saw some flaws on the drill and just decided to stay on earth. With Steven and Peridot in his mane, and runs down a hill. He then creates a portal and runs through it. Lion and the Crystal Gems begin warping through the portal.

Steven: Pretty cool, right?

Peridot starts screaming. Lion then creates more portals, increasing his speed with each transmission.

Steven: Go, Lion! Goooo!

At the Moon Base*

Lion emerges from a portal with a rough landing, sliding across the floor and hitting against a wall, with the Gems still on his back.

Steven: (gasps*) Lion! (leaps out of Lion's mane*) Are you okay, bud?

Peridot: (climbs out of Lion's mane*) Erghh, get me out of this furry fre- (slips*) Whoa!

Lion pants heavily in exhaustion.

Steven: Oh, Lion. You've earned your naps for the week. (hugs Lion*)

Garnet, Pearl and Peridot begin shining their gems like flashlights.

Pearl: We made it.

Steven: It doesn't... look like the moon.

You: (rubbing your chin*) Hmm, maybe we are at inside the diamonds base?

Amethyst: Hey, look over here! I think it's a door.

You: Wait amethyst!!

Amethyst places her hand on a panel and the door opens, revealing the surface of the moon with the view of Earth in the distance. Air instantly begins getting sucked out through the open door, forcing Amethyst to shut the door quickly.

Amethyst: Uhhh, yup! We on the moon!

Pearl: Amethyst, please! Don't blow us into space!

Steven chuckles as he begins jumping and floating around in the air.
