Mwah!

Ahh!

Huh?
[Gasps]

Hello.

Where am I?

Who are you?

That used to be a loaded
question, but now I can say

with confidence
that I'm Steven Universe,

and you're in my bathroom.

What happened to me?

Huh?

What is this?!

You were corrupted
in a Diamond blast,

but you've just been healed,

and that is a plunger.

Let me fill you in
on everything you've missed.

Missed?

We have some reading material,

available in both
English and Gem Glyph.

Spanish translation forthcoming.

Watch your head.

[Engine starts]

Life is a little different
these days.

The Diamonds have ended
their reign of terror.

The intergalactic w*r is over,

and Earth is officially
an independent planet.

We're all safe
to explore our dreams.

Lars opened up
his own pastry shop,

and it's got a real cute
space gimmick goin' on.

Sadie's been touring
with The Suspects,

promoting their new album,

and Connie has been getting
a head start on college prep.

She's two years away
from applying,

but she says it doesn't hurt
to start early.

And speaking of
higher education,

Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, and I

have been cooking up
a dream of our own.

I have no idea
who you're talking about.

[Laughing]
Don't worry about it.

You'll learn all that and more

right here at Little Homeschool.

Here at Little Homeschool,

you have a chance
to rediscover yourself

and learn to live on Earth
if you like.

You can forge a new identity,

grow your own ideas,

and even find your inner Morp.

Wait.
What's a Morp?

That's exactly the kind of
question we love to hear.

[British accent]
Find your center,

your very core.

Remember... your body isn't just
a projection of light

but also a reflection
of your inner soul.

Garnet teaches, uh,
all sorts of stuff.

[Cellphone rings]

Hello?
Pearl speaking.

- This is HoloPearl.
- Oh, hi, HoloPearl.

To what do I owe
the pleasure of your calling?

Just calling to see how you are.

That's an example of the use

of the human short-range
telecommunications device

called a phone.

Pearl will teach you
all about human technology.

Whose Pearl is that?

Mm, that... that's not
how things work here.

Nobody belongs to anybody.

On Earth, you can decide for
yourself what you want to do.

Really? How?

Hello.
I'm Professor Amethyst.

Go on, take a seat wherever.

I'll be teaching

"How to Decide Stuff
for Yourself 101."

Today's lesson is...
there is no lesson.

Just do whatever you want
for an hour.

Hey, Steven, you want
to grab some lunch?

Steven: Sure.

Ah. This school thing's
such a cool idea.

I love being a teacher.

No one's ever looked up
to me before, you know?

Except for, uh...

widdle baby Steven![Laughs]

Seriously, dude,
it's been going great.

Everyone wants to come and
learn how to be an Earthling.

Uh, not everyone.

Pff!
Man, forget her.

I don't know.
I... I'm worried.

We healed all these Gems and
built that town and the school

because I wanted to fix some of
the bad things the Diamonds did.

Knowing there's someone
out there still hurting

because of the Diamonds,
because of my mom...

uh, I mean, I know
it's not my fault,

but if there's a chance

I could make it better,
shouldn't I try?

[Slurping]

I think you should stop
trying to fix everyone.

Yeah.
You're right.

[Insects buzzing]

[Panting]

[Whirring]

Jasper: Hold it.

♪♪

Ugh!
What do you want now?!

Jasper.

- I just want to talk.
- Pfft.

So, um, how's it going?

I know it's been a while
since we last, uh, talked.

Steven: Aw, it's a cute little...

Why did you do that?!

Any Earthling that invades
my space gets crushed.

Took forever to yank
those puny green Earthlings

out of the ground.

You mean grass?

I don't know their names!

So what's with the rocks?

Training.

[Crashing]

Oh. I thought maybe...
uh!...

maybe you were getting into art?

That pile really complements
the decor.

[Crashing]

Okay.

What are you even training for?

There's no one left to fight.

There's always someone to fight.

There's just no one left
worth fighting.

In that case, maybe you could
come join us

at Little Homeschool?

No.
Come on.

We're all learning
and growing together.

[Snorts]And... and you could be
a part of that.

Sounds dumb.

You know, half those Gems
are soldiers

who fought by your side
before they were corrupted

and turned into monsters.

They're lost and confused
and still a little messed up,

but they're getting
the help they need.

- So? Who cares?
- I do!

And if I didn't care,
you'd still be a monster, too.

- And what? Now I owe you?
- No!

You think because you did
something I never asked for,

- I'm going to obey you?
- No! That's not...

Like all the other Gems,
you use.

Aggghhh!

I only came here
because I felt bad for you,

but all of this
is your own fault.

All the other Gems were
corrupted by the Diamonds,

but... but you corrupted
yourself

just to win a fight,
which you lost to me!

No one's making you stay here
all alone

in the middle of nowhere
ready to fight a w*r

that's been over for years!

Are you just gonna sit here
for centuries

waiting for someone
to give you a purpose?!

Because I'm trying
to give you one!

Listen, weakling,

you might have
Pink Diamond's gem,

but you are not my Diamond,

and I am not going to
take orders

from some weak, sappy,
useless piece of dirt!

If you think you're hard enough
to tell me what to do,

then fight me and prove it.

Fine!

Really?

Huh. Well, then, why don't you
throw the first punch?

Ugh!

Ooh.
[Laughs]

I guess we're doing this.

Agh!

♪♪

[Panting]

[Grunting]

Agh!

[Birds chirping]

No, no, no!
Babies!

Agh! Ugh!

[Chirping continues]

Yuh!

Touchdown.

♪♪

Ugh!

Stop trying to help
those tiny, flapping Earthlings

and fight me!

I'll never stop trying
to help them, or you.

Ugh!

I don't need your help.

You're the one that needs help.

You think you've beaten me,

but you've never beaten me
on your own.

You've always been a Fusion.

You've always had your friends

because you're nothing
without them.

You think everyone needs help.

I... I just...

But it's only you.

No one is as pitiful as you.

Ugh!

Uggggggh!
Uggggggh!

Yah!

Whoa.

What?

♪♪

I'm not pitiful!

Aah!

[Crashing]

[Laughs]

Ha.
Not bad.

Hoo! Hoo!
Wah!

Ugh! Ah!

♪♪

Nice catch.

- You should see my throw!
- Oh!

[Laughs]

Agh! Ugh!
[Laughs]

Stop laughing!

[Crashing]

[Gasps]

- Jasper?
- Hmph.

I didn't think
you had it in you.

I don't... I... I don't know
what that was.

I'm sorry.

Ugh.
Don't apologize.

I think I had you all wrong.

Maybe you don't have
something to learn from me.

Maybe I have something
to learn from you.

Would you ever be interested
in teaching?

- Tssh! At your crummy little school?
- No, just me.

You brought something out of me
I didn't know I had.

Consider that fight back there

your first and only lesson.

Well, can I come back
to see you sometime?

Do what you want.

Steven: There are fundamental
things about ourselves

that we know to be true.

It's important to remember
those things

when you find yourself
in a tough situation,

or you need to make
decisions from the heart,

but it's equally important
to know

that you can
surprise yourself, too.

I thought I'd finally
figured myself out,

but it looks like
I still have more to learn.

Man, life is a wonderful mystery.

- Am I right?
- Yeah. So, uh...

- can you sign off on my class schedule?
- Oh, uh, right.

Let me help you with that.
