Steven sets up his laptop top, and Peridot appears on the screen.
"Steven, hello!?" Peridot can be heard yelling
"Hi Peridot," Steven waves at the camera
"Steven, can you hear me?!" Peridot yells as Turquoise pops into frame
"I...i can hear..." Steven starts
"CAN YOU HEAR ME?!" Peridot yells loudly
" Yes, I...i can hear..." Steven starts
"Let me see, perhaps you have accidentally muted him..." Turquoise says, kneeling down next to Peridot. The camera can be seen moving around, and Peridot can be heard grumbling
"What button I'd the volume?" Turquoise can be heard asking
"Aha! Steven!" Peridot says
"Hi Peridot, hi Turquoise," Steven waves at the camera
"Steven! Behold our genius!" Peridot giggles
"we I mean, Aventurine figured out how to get WiFi inside the barn," Turquoise says
Peridot turns the camera around to show a lawnmower driving around with a satellite dish attached to it
"The connection is strong enough to stream Camp Pining Hearts in all its 1,080 p's," Peridot brags as the screen glitches out
"Peridot?" Steven asks
Peridot tries to tell Steven a story, but the transmission keeps glitching
"Peridot, Turquoise, you're breaking up."
"And that's how we managed to get WiFi in the barn. What did you do today?" Peridot asks
"I...uhhh... learn how to do this!" Steven does a magic trick with a pencil, making it look wobbly
"What?! Turquoise, did you see that!?" Peridot asks, shocked, and Turquoise nods, looking at Peridot
"Lapis, come see, Steven has leaned a new trick," Turquoise can be heard saying
Peridot turns the camera to Lapis, who had just walked into the barn
"Is that... Steven?" Lapis says, looking uneasy
"Yes."
"Oh, no! Steven, what happened?!" Lapis says, worried
"Oh, you guys, it's fine. It's just a -" Steven starts, but Lapis cuts him off
"How did he get trapped in there?! Why aren't you doing something?!"
"Lapis Steven's fine," Turquoise says, trying to calm her down
"Lapis, relax. It's just my communication pad." Peridot says
Lapis snatches Peridot's tablet.
"Who did this to you?! Steven, I'll get you out of there! Where's your gem on this thing? I-I-"
"Lapis?"
"I can't find it!" Lapis flips the tablet over
"What?"
"He must be inside!" Lapis yells
"Lapis, hold on a moment," Turquoise says
"Lapis-"
"It's just a screen! Sto-" Peridot says but is cut off. The transmission from Peridot's end suddenly cuts away.
"Oh geez!"
Steven crawls away out of his room when Peridot's transmission returns.
"Oh, thank the stars. I thought you were a goner." Peridot says gladly
