Pearl:
♫ Everything you have,
Everything you are,
You've got to give— ♫
Connie regains her stance and dodge Holo-Pearl's attacks, continuing to spar off with it, as Steven keeps watching with fingers crossed.
Pearl:
♫ On the battlefield,
When everything is chaos,
And you have nothing but the way you feel, your strategy and a sword; You just think about the life you'll have together after the war! ♫
One night, Pearl projects a hologram and tells You, Connie, and Steven a tale of the Gem Battlefield: There is absolute madness. Horses where seen charging, men was shattering gems and vice versa. Not only that many many flying creatures were at the sky. Pearl was running through the chaotic battlefield when she spotted an unknown Gem is about to attack Rose Quartz. Without hesitation, Pearl rushed to defend Rose from the enemy.
Pearl:
♫ And then you do it for her,
That's how you know you can win, You do it for her, that is to say,
You'll do it for him. ♫
The hologram ends and Steven is in tears. Pearl proceeds to spar off with a Holo-Pearl and successfully beats it, filling Connie with confidence and determination.
Pearl:
♫ Deep down you know,
You weren't built for fighting,
But that doesn't mean,
You're not prepared to try. ♫
From the constant training, Connie suffers minor injuries and skin tears on her sword hand. Pearl then comforts Connie momentarily and bandages her wounds and sword hand.
Pearl:
♫ What they don't know,
Is your real advantage.
When you live for someone,
You're prepared to die. ♫
You and Steven walks in with refreshments for Connie, but Pearl chides them. Connie then gently declines You and Steven's offer and continues to train, to Steven's dismay.
Connie:
♫ Deep down, I know,
That I'm just a human. ♫
Pearl: True.
Pearl & Connie:
♫ But you know that you can draw your sword and fight. ♫
Connie's appearance changes drastically, as she dons on a new training outfit and her sword-fighting skill progressively gets better.
Connie: ♫ With my short existence. ♫
Pearl: Good.
Connie: ♫ I can make a difference. ♫
Pearl: Yes, excellent!
Connie:
♫ I can be there for him, I can be his knight. ♫
Pearl and Connie proceed to spar off a bit as the song concludes, and then renew their vows to You and Steven, kneeling before him. Steven looks you extremely uncomfortable and you look back with a serious look.
