Steven is seen fast asleep on the back of a truck in the barn, snoring loudly. A shadowy figure then approaches him, and Steven snores a final time before waking up.

"Steven!" Garnet says excitedly, without her visors on

Steven gasps "Garnet! Is it morning already?"

Garnet grins. "It's midnight! Happy birthday, Steven!"

Steven grabs his cheeks, then sits up and grabs Garnet's cheeks. "Oh man! Are you finally gonna tell me that you're a fusion of the Gems Ruby and Sapphire like you promised?"

"You already know about all that, Steven," Garnet says

Steven sighs. "It's true." He lets go of Garnet and falls back into bed

"But what you don't know is how Ruby and Sapphire first met." Garnet says

Steven sits back up and grabs Garnet's cheeks again, blushing with stars in his eyes. "O-M-G! I don't!" Steven says excitedly

"Might I learn of this story, or would I be interrupting?" Turquoise says, suddenly making his presence known

"You seem different than the other gems no offence I wish to know why" Turquoise says

Garnet smiles and chuckles, hinting at it's okay, as she begins to tell the story
Garnet narrated, "The Earth, 5,750 years ago; it was a promising site of a new Gem colony, but progress was being thwarted by a small, persistent group of rebels. A team of diplomatic gems were sent from Homeworld to investigate. Among those Gems was Sapphire, a rare aristocratic Homeworld Gem, with the power to see into the future. Assigned to her were three Rubies, common soldiers, with a mission to protect her."

Ruby Guard 1 walks up to Ruby Guard2. "Hey! Can't wait for those rebels to get here!"

"Haha, yeah! When I see those rebels, I'm gonna punch them right in their faces!" The second Ruby says

"What are you sayin'? I'm gonna punch them all over their bodies, and then it'll be over." Ruby 1 says

"What if I just punch you!" Ruby 2 says

She punched Ruby Guard 1 playfully in the back of her shoulder, sticking her tongue out, and Ruby Guard 1 yelped out in pain.

"Oh, come on. We'll punch 'em together when we fuse. That's why they sent, uh, three of us?" Ruby says

"Three this!" Ruby Guard 1 attempted to punch Ruby, but Ruby blocked the attack. Ruby was knocked backwards, causing her to collide into Sapphire. Onlooking Gems gasped in shock as Ruby quickly stepped away from Sapphire.

"Oh, I, um, I'm so sorry, I, let me, uh..." Ruby stammers

"I'm fine." Sapphire says

"What?" Ruby says

"It's okay. It was bound to happen." Sapphire brushes it off

"I, uh... okay." Ruby says

"Now, please wait here. I must attend to my duties." Sapphire orders

"Right." Ruby says

"Mmm."

"Yes."

The three Rubies stood in attention as Sapphire walked up to Blue Diamond's Palanquin, where Blue Diamond's Pearl was seen standing next to Blue Diamond's throne

"Sapphire had been called to Earth by Blue Diamond, specifically to share her vision of the future." Garner narrates again

Sapphire enters the palanquin. "My diamond, I've arrived." She says
