Peridot: Why are you giving me these?

Steven:Because I want you to feel nice! That's what gifts are for. You give them to your friends to show you care. And they go "wow, thanks!"

Peridot: (takes the stilts*) Hef! As if I'd stoop so low as to tie your earth trash to my body. Leave me! (shoves Steven away*) Go-go-go-go-GO! AND "WOW THANKS!"

Time Skip, Night-time*

Peridot is inside the barn, trying on the stilts.

Peridot: (talking to herself*) Why yes Pearl, I did get taller. How correct for you to notice. Of course, Amethyst, I will acquire those Chee-Z Chaps from that very high shelf. (jumps and stumbles backwards*) Hahaha! They even function in reverse! (trips over a rock*)

Iron: (is finishing the drill*) What are you doing?

Peridot: No-nothing!! (peridot runs away taking off the stilts*)

Iron: (talks to herself*) Huh, most era 2 gems are really dumb aren't they?

Time skip, at the Barn*

Peridot stands in front of a mirror in the barn, holding a book titled "Jokes! How to Make People Laugh Around You Instead of Feel Bad".

Tape Recorder (Peridot): "Jokes."

Peridot: (clears her throat and talks to herself in the mirror*) "Why did the chicken cross the road?" ... "The chicken wanted to get the other side of the road." ... (forces a laugh*) Ahhh, hahaha! ... What's a chicken?

At the Barn*

Steven installs a TV inside the barn for Peridot to watch. You walked in.

Tape Recorder (Peridot)": It seems the earth ones are constantly filling the voids of their life with meaningless distractions."

Steven inserts a VHS tape in the TV and "Camp Pining Hearts" begins to play.

TV Narrator: On the last episode of Camp Pining Hearts...

You: Ah yes one of my favorite episodes.

Steven: Wait y/n? You watch this?!

You: Well duh steven, I watch it on Netflix. It's actually pretty good nit gonna lie. I recommend it for peridot.

Paulette: I don't care if you're on the yellow team, Percy. We can make this work.

Percy: It's color war, Paulette. Does that mean anything to you?

Paulette and Percy close in for a kiss.

Peridot:What is this strange ritual?

Steven:(uncomfortably*) Uhh, that's umm-

Peridot: Are they attempting fusion?

You tried to hold your laugh.

Steven: (blushes*) No, well, my dad told me during certain stages of your life...

Peridot: How could anyone indulge in this... baseless drivel!? I'll have no part of it!

Fast-Forward*

Peridot is sitting extremely close to the TV screen.

Tape Recorder (Peridot):"Hour 78 of Camp Pining Hearts."

Percy & Peridot:It's the color war, Paulette. Doesn't that mean anything to you?

You and Steven walks in, steven wearing his banana pajamas and you with your usual clothes.

Steven:Uh, you've been here for a few days, is everything okay?

Peridot:I've just been.. watching your previously recorded entertainment.
