"Y/n!" Steven cheered as Y/n walked in mid Wednesday, "You're done with finals!"

"I hope so," Y/n rubbed their forehead, "Ugh, my brain hurts... What's all this stuff?" Y/n frowned as they saw a pile of desks, chalk boards, what seemed to be a CPR dummy and other stuff

"I'm trying to start one of the school things you and Connie do!" Steven said

"You really wanna learn?" Y/n frowned

"Learn? Steven, is that what you wanted?" Pearl lit up, "If I had known that's why you really wanted!" Pearl then jumped up and began doing a strange dance as well as making some strange noises, emphasizing her hand movements around her gem

"What is happening?" Y/n whispered to Steven

"I don't know, but it looks cool!" Steven cheered

Suddenly a ball of light came out of Pearl's gem and formed into a mirror with a blue cracked gem on the back of it, "We found this gem powered mirror at the Galaxy Warp. It can capture and display any event it's witnessed in all of Gem history!"

"Whoa," Y/n said as Steven stood in awe

"It'll offer you everything you've ever wanted to know about your fellow Gems and our culture," Pearl told as she came behind Steven and put her hands on his shoulder, "You could learn a few thing too, Y/n,"

"I'd be lying if I said I wasn't interested," Y/n admitted

"I must be incredibly important to Gem culture," Steven said as he admired his own reflection

"It's just you in there. It hasn't even been activated" Pearl scoffed and then cleared her throat, "Show us the Galaxy Warp..."

The mirror did not respond

"Show us the Galaxy Warp!" Pearl repeated, "Oh, come on!" Pearl groaned as she tugged on the mirror

"Whoa!" Steven laughed as Pearl lifted him and the mirror slightly off the ground

"I know you've seen it!" Pearl yelled at the mirror, finally sighing after quickly examining it, "It is in pretty rough shape. It must finally be broken. What a shame,"

"Doesn't seem broken to me," Steven told as he styled his hair in the mirror

"Oh well, I guess that's the end of our school," Pearl sighed

"So you could say... School's out for summer?" Steven smiled

"Yes. Good, Steven. There are many ways to say the same thing," Pearl waved off

"Yay! Let's go have fun, Y/n!" Steven cheered

"School's been blown to pieces!" Y/n sang, Steven joined in making guitar sounds with his mouth

"You happy that school's out?" Steven asked as they both ran down the beach, still holding the mirror

"Definitely," Y/n chuckled

"Well, happy summer vacation, Y/n!" Steven cheered, "Happy summer vacation, Beach City!" Soon his excitement died down as he slammed into Lars

"Agh! Watch where you're going, you little f..... Sssssteven," Lars groaned

"Sorry! I'm just so excited for summer. Are you excited for summer? I'm so excited for summer! Y/n's excited for summer!" Steven cheered

"Uh, I think I'm as excited as I can get about setting up extra seating for the summer rush. But Lars has big plans," Sadie said

"You bet I do! All those out-of-town summer babes traveling away from home without their boyfriends, if you know what I mean," Lars chuckled

"Nope," Steven said, a smile still on his face
