"I...." Peridot's pupils turn to stars
"I gotta go but I'll see you tomorrow" Turquoise says picking up his things before walking out the barn
"Is that your guys way of flirting?" Lapis asks
"What's flirting?" Peridot asks rubbing her gem
Turquoise warps to the temple ans is greeted by Steven
"Turquoise!" Steven says excitedly
"Sorry I'm late," Turquoise says stepping off the warp
Turquoise looks at Pearl and Steven are attempting to piece together a puzzle in the living room, while Amethyst, shapeshifted into a ball, is bouncing rapidly and excitedly in the house, shaking the table and puzzle pieces.
"Amethyst..." Pearl starts
"Do you mind not bouncing so much?" Steven asks
Amethyst shapeshifts back to normal "Oof! Uh, sorry. I'm just super excited. Greg is taking me to a show!"
"Us, to see a show," Turquoise corrects
"A show? You mean like at the..." Steven puts on a fake British accent "Theater?"
"No, like at a..." Ameythst puts on a fake British accent as well "Rock show! Ha! Like a band! At a house, with a bunch of people hanging out and doing stuff!"
"What are the doing?" Turquoise leans and whispers to Pearl
"No idea." She says bluntly
"Oh man, that sounds cool! We have an awesome night planned, too! We're doing a puzzle." Steven says
"Puzzle?" Turquoise scans the table looking at the unfinished puzzle
"Wowee." Amethyst says unenthusiastically
"I know it sounds tame. But it has 612 pieces. And no corners!" Pearl says enthusiastically
Steven picks up a corner puzzle piece "I.. found a corner."
"Oh." Pearl says glumly
Turquoises looks at the puzzls confused as Greg enters the house "Hey, y'all!"
"Greg, Greg, Greg, Greg! So, you ready to throw down in the pit?" Amethyst asks excitedly
"No pits for me tonight. I'm sorry, Amethyst, it totally slipped my mind that Barb invited me and Vidalia over for cards." Greg says scratching the back of his head
"Cards?! Ugh, who broke you guys out of the retirement home?" Amethyst asks
"Trust me, I'd love to go to the show! But Barb threatened to hold my mail if I didn't. She is not a woman of empty threats." Greg explains
"Ugh, man, forget it. I can't go show-lo, that'll be boring!" Amethyst sighs
"You could hang out with us tonight." Pearl offers
"And do a puzzle? Ha, maybe we could fit in some knitting, too." Amethyst jokes
Pearl blushes slightly "That's... not what I meant. We could... go to the show... with you."
"Really?" Steven asks
"Wha?! You wanna go to a show, with loud music and people pushing each other?" Amethyst playfully pushes Pearl's arm
"I've done my fair share of... pushing. Pearl gently pushes Amethyst's arm back
Amethyst grips her arm in pretend pain "Ooh, I think it's broken!"
"You three just never saw me in action! Breaking every rule, taking on the authorities, so I could indulge in the joys of life on Earth!" Pearl says
"Done." Turquoise says straightening up revealing the complete puzzle
