Okay.
This shouldn't take too long.

Most gems come around
pretty quickly

when I invite them
to Little Homeschool in person.

What a gorgeous planet.

[Gasps]

Whoa.

It's okay, little guy.

[Laughs]

Wow, Steven.

It took you a whole 5 seconds
to make a new friend.

You're getting rusty.

You know, I never used to
notice creatures like this.

Before Earth and you,

I used to terraform planets
without thinking twice.

I wonder what I destroyed.

Life like this is so precious.

Uh, Steven.

Ah. So the rumors
are true.

You think they didn't
get your message

that we're not
destroying planets anymore?

I'm sure they did.
Everyone did.

But I'll get them to stop.

This might be harder
than you think.

There they are.

♪♪

Hey! Stop!

♪♪

Wait a minute.
That's Steven Universe.

He's smaller than I thought.

Well, what do you think?

We're almost done
with this world.

And who's this?

We don't need the extra help.

You must have heard
about our exemplary work.

That's why you're here,
I presume.

Yeah.
Well, no.

Look, the empire is over.

We know.

The diamonds don't
control you anymore.

That's right.

So you don't have to terraform
planets for them anymore.

You're free to do
whatever you like.

Why don't you come on down
to Little Homeschool,

where you can... Oh, I see.

This is just a misunderstanding.

Terraforming is what we like.

Ugh, here we go.

Uh, okay.
Wait.

You're free to do
whatever you like,

as long as it's not
destroying a world.

That's not what you just said
a second ago.

Why would we stop?

Because it's wrong.

Wait. Wait.
Wait. Wait. Wait.

How can the thing we've always
done just suddenly be wrong?

At the very least,
we've got to finish this world.

We're almost done.

Team huddle? Team huddle.

One moment, please.

You're right.
This is harder than usual.

You've just got to
force them to stop.

This is going to be a fight.

They're not nice like me.

Um...

Exactly.

They just don't understand
that they're doing harm.

Y... you get it.
What made it click for you?

A cycle of horrible t*rture.

But other than that, living
in nature, getting creative.

Yeah. Come on.
We can do that for them.

Okay.
Just a little t*rture.

No, just the other stuff.

Fine.
We'll try it your way.

Hey. So, why don't we explore
the many things you can do

that don't involve
destroying worlds?

Should we listen to him?

He is half diamond.

Maybe we should half listen.

I'll take that as a "yes."
Let's go.

Ah, look at the trees.

Smell the fresh air.

Getting any life-altering
tingling sensations yet?

Everything is so bright.

I prefer only two colors...
the colors of rock and mud.

I understand you don't see the
beauty of this, but you will.

There was a time
when I couldn't see it either,

but I learned
to appreciate organic life.

It's really different,
and special.

Maybe try something like this.

This is meep morp.

It's subjective and debatable,

but it is meep morp,
nonetheless.

So, you can do whatever you want
with your powers,

but you choose to make junk.

It... it doesn't have
to be exactly this.

You can create anything.

♪♪

So lifelike, I forgot.

Okay.

It's more satisfying
than you think.

Trust me.
Just give it a try.

That's it.

Try making other shapes, too...
anything you want.

That was way easier
than what we've been doing.

Yeah. We can clear out
this planet in no time.

Steven, this isn't working.

[Steven clears his throat]

Looks like you two still have
a lot of energy to get out.

Maybe you'd like something
more physical... like dance.

Dance?

Just check this out.

♪♪

♪♪

Uh, let's get back to it.

I get it. This stuff won't
make you feel good right away.

Maybe it never will.

But it will help you navigate
your new way of feeling.

If you don't like dancing,

you could try expressing
yourself through song.

Huh?

♪ Ooh

♪ Why so blue?

♪ So many shades of sorrow
got mixed into my hue ♪

♪ And each new moment
just astounds me ♪

♪ So much I want to do

♪ I finally feel my color
shining through ♪

♪ I'm tired of the fighting

♪ I'm tired of the blame

♪ That mirror was a prison

these new sensations ♪

♪ That suddenly appear

♪ Deep as the roaring ocean

♪ Free as the atmosphere

♪ Ooh

♪ Why so blue?

♪ So many different reasons

♪ I want to keep on going

♪ Want to be
right here with you ♪

Uh...

[Both laugh]

You really expect us
to dance and sing like Pearls?

Forget it, Steven Universe.

You've already got a Lapis
doing what you want...

and look how dull it's made her.

Or was she always this pitiful?

There's no need to be hurtful.

We're just trying to...
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh.

You've taken enough of our time.

Let's get back to it, shall we?

That's it!
I've had enough of you two.

Wait.
We agreed we wouldn't fight.

If we had done this my way,

we would've been done
from the start.

Wait!

Lapis: Hey, you two!
That's enough!

Oh, look who it is.

Have you decided
to give us a hand.

You could say that.

Did she just do that?

She did that.

Water hands, huh?

Mind if we try?

♪♪

Steven: Oh, boy.

♪♪

Lapis, are you okay?

I'm fine.
Stay out of it.

♪♪

Water chains?

You really need to stop
teaching us new things.

♪♪

Lapis!

Nice Lapis: We really
have to thank you

for all the wonderful things
you taught us today.

Turns out they're not
totally useless.

♪♪

Look out!

[Rumbling]

♪♪

Who's dull now?

Who's pitiful now?

♪♪

Hey.
You okay?

Yeah.
Sorry about that.

Hey, we're done.
No more fighting.

Sure. Fine by me.

And no more terraforming.

You'll leave this planet alone?

Uh-huh.

After that ridiculous
show of strength,

we'll do anything you say.

That wasn't strength.
That was weakness.

Restraint takes strength.

Patience takes strength!

Ugh.

I don't have the strength
to deal with you.

Steven: Here's some brochures
for our school

in case you're interested.

I wish I hadn't done that.

It's just, they reminded me
so much of myself.

It's infuriating.

Give yourself a break.

You've grown a lot.

It's not your fault
they're stuck in their ways.

Uh, so, is this that school
you mentioned?

Yeah!
Welcome.
