Steven:(nervously*) Hey, Ruby! You wanna swim in the pool?
Ruby: It's fusion, Steven! (continues pacing*) It's like Sapphire doesn't even care! And we're supposed to be the bigger Gem about this. (throws her hands up in the air, shouting*) We're ALLLLLLWAYS!- the bigger Gem! Well not this time! Not—about—this!
Steven: Come on, w-why don't you come cool down in the pool? Hup! (cannonballs into the pool*)
Ruby: I don't need to "cool down". But, I have to admit y/n's advise was quite helpful to me.
Steven: Come on, Ruby! The water's niiice~!
Ruby: (hesitates*) Why does she always act like I'm being ridiculous? (walks to the bottom of the pool and continues pacing*) Just because she and y/n wants to pretend like they don't have feelings? Oh yeah! I don't have any feelings...
Her words are muffled by water.
Steven: Uhh, Ruby? ... You made a warm spot! (The water around him starts to bubble*) Aah! A hot spot! Boiling!
Steven turns red, quickly climbs out of the boiling pool and starts panting.
Steven: Uhh... I'm gonna go back to the room.
Steven leaves the pool, as Ruby continues to rant underwater. He then returns back into the motel room, now freezing cold, and turns blue with chill.
Steven: Phew... (shivers and wraps his towel around himself*) Sapphire?
Sapphire: Hello, Steven.
Steven: (stuttering*) A-Are you... d-d-doin' ok?
Sapphire: I'm... fine.
Frost forms on the wall behind Sapphire as she speaks.
Steven: Okay... (jumps on his bed*) Wanna watch TV together?
Sapphire: Sure.
Steven: (turns on the TV*) Huh... T-The channels are all the wrong numbers... Hey... can you use your future powers to predict what channel I'd love the most?
Sapphire: Hmm... 43. But there's not much on.
Steven switches to the channel and covers himself in the bed blankets, as the frost behind Sapphire grows.
Steven: Hey, S-Sapphire
Sapphire: Even if I do, Ruby won't listen.
Steven: Huh?
Sapphire: You're going to say I should talk to Ruby, but it won't help.
Steven: B-But she seems really upset.
Sapphire: That doesn't matter. We can't stay mad at Pearl forever, and she can't stay mad at me forever, and then she'll come back and see that I'm right.
Steven: (shivering, with ice crystals forming on his face*) A-A-Are you s-s-sure?
Sapphire: I can see the path of fate as it stretches toward the horizon. Ruby can't avoid the inevitable. She's just letting her emotions get out of hand.
Steven: N-N-Not you though?
Sapphire: No.
The frost behind Sapphire intensifies.
Steven: I'm... going to the bathroom. (walks into the bathroom*)
Sapphire: Also inevitable.
Steven: Uhh... Sapphire? The toilet's frozen...
Sapphire: Such is fate.
Steven: (annoyed*) Am I fated to pee outside in the grass too? (walks outside, and shuts the door*)
