**Pearl's flashback**
"Did you three forgot how durable the shadow assassin was?" Garnet asked pearl and amethyst. "Alexandrite's punches weren't enough to crush the shadow assassin and you expect this little costume to be the shadow assassin's real armour?" Garnet further questions it's authenticity.
"Besides like what pearl asked earlier? Who is the shadow assassin that we saw along with y/n even he was distraught. What if the shadow assassin put this costume inside y/n's house to frame him? We can possibly loose a useful Ally but more importantly a close friend to us. We cannot rely on this joke of an evidence alone, we need to investigate y/n's home further." Garnet ordered, the two slowly understanding her point.
"So we're gonna barge in his house right?" Amethyst asked cockingy, sounding she wants to commit trespassing.
"No, you and me will find y/n and as for you pearl. You will go along with Steven and Greg's roadtrip because they will go to empire city and that is the chance for you too investigate his house even further." Garnet explained
"But how do you know- oh right future vision of course." Pearl said in defeat, not wanting to go along with Greg.
**Flashback end**
An orchestral fanfare is heard as Greg drives Steven and Pearl into Empire City in his van. He parks outside a hotel called Le Hotel and the trio enters it. Greg goes to the counter and rings the bell. The desk clerk, Ricky, glances at Greg, seemingly unamused by his appearance, until Greg hands him a card, reading "Mr Greg: Bazzzillionaire". Steven then appears and puts a stack of money on the counter. Ricky's eyes widen in sheer surprise and he, along with several hotel employees suddenly popping in, begins to sing "Mr. Greg" in his honor.
Ricky: ♫ Hey, shake a leg! ♫
Hotel Employees: ♫ Hey, shake a leg! ♫
Ricky:♫ It's Mr. Greg! ♫
Hotel Employees:♫ It's Mr. Greg! ♫
Ricky: ♫ And he's here to spend his dough all over the town! ♫
The hotel employees carry Greg, Steven and Pearl over their heads and bring them to a fancy restaurant, seating them down at a table.
Hotel Employees:♫ He's got the bucks. ♫
Greg: ♫ I've got the bucks! ♫
Hotel Employees: ♫ It's all deluxe. ♫
Greg:♫ It's all deluxe!
When you're dining out with me, it's the finest steak and brie.
And if I break a table, it ain't no- Whoa!
Greg dances on the table, but accidentally slips off and breaks it. The concerned Ricky pops in and Greg hands him a currency note.
Greg:Just bill it to my bank.
Ricky: A hundred bucks?! ♫ Gee, thanks! ♫
The hotel employees then carry Greg, Steven and Pearl into the elevator and up to the hotel penthouse. Steven and Greg get changed into fine tuxedos with top hats and begin having fun in the penthouse's pool. Pearl does not seem to enjoy herself though, and Greg and Steven glare at her. They then grin again, as Pearl gets changed into a tuxedo and top hat as well.
Pearl: ♫ I must admit... ♫
Steven & Greg:♫ You must admit. ♫
Pearl:♫ It's a perfect fit! ♫
Steven & Greg: ♫ You look great in it!. ♫
Pearl:♫ And those fountains I found wasteful, are actually quite tasteful. This city's got its charm, unlike that termite-ridden barn.And any time with Steven makes for a delightful evenin'! ♫
