Steven Universe

And Steven!

So, how is it?

Be honest, but not too honest.

It's pumpkin bread!

And it's pumpkin-shaped, like a pumpkin!

This is the best idea anybody has ever had!

See? I told you.

It's really good.

Of course Steven likes it.

He likes everything.

Lars, did you make this?

No!

Well, yes, but it's no big deal.

Secret's out, Lars.

Feels good, doesn't it?

Ah, stop.

Oh, this is amazing!

How'd you get it to look like a pumpkin?

I just made seven small crescent-shaped cakes

and used cream-cheese icing to hold them together.

Anyone with two hands and half a brain could do it.

And, you know, a recipe.

That's his way of saying thanks.

I know. I speak Lars.

B-B-B-Buck Dewey!

Hi, Buck. Hey, Steven.

Hey, doughnut kids.

Hi, Buck, what's up?

How's it going? What'll it be?

I want to order... you to come to dinner.

Me, Jenny, and Sour Cream are having a potluck.

You know, like parents do.

Except we'll be doing it.

All three of you should come.

You should bring some food,

because that's what you do at a potluck.

It's so funny.

That is funny, Buck!

It sounds great. Super cool.

Can't wait. Bingo, bongo.

Cool.

"Bingo, bongo"?

Where did I even learn that? Yeah!

Bingo, bongo!

This is gonna be great.

Hey, yeah, this is perfect.

You won't believe us when we say we like your cooking,

but you'll have to believe it when it's coming from Buck.

Uh, Lars?

I'm not going.

What?!

You just got invited to a party with the cool kids!

Isn't that what you've always wanted?

If anyone shouldn't go, it's me,

but they know you.

They like you!

Unh-unh. Nobody knows me.

And nobody knows I can bake.

Well, I do, and he does.

Yeah, Lars, you should make this your big debut.

Well... then, it has to be perfect.

How about a pie? No.

Uh, baked Alaska?

It might look like I'm trying too hard.

Hmm. Hmm. Hmm.

Yeah, something cream-filled.

A bundt? A cannoli?

Maybe some rugelach?

I don't know!

Maybe we could make a cake with your face on it.

That's a great idea!

You should make something that represents you.

Secret cookbook.

Maybe this'll work.

I used to eat this as a kid all the time.

Wow. What's... uby?

It's ube.

What's that?

Uh, like, you know, it's like a sweet potato.

Potatoes can be sweet?

I mean, it's technically a yam.

Yams?! This sounds perfect!

It's done.

So, how is it?

It's...

Amazing! Amazing!

This is delicious.

You're an amazing baker, Lars.

Well, yeah, of course I am.

Sorry, Lars. It's really good.

Guess I have to take your word for it.

I'm gonna head out and get my stuff for the party.

This is it! It's all happening!

Lars and the cool kids!

See ya there!

Bye, Sadie.

Everything is so good.

Yeah, too good.

What do you mean?

Uh, never mind.

Aw, come on.

You can tell me anything.

I spent a day in your body.

It's nothing. Forget about it.

Open up about your feelings.

I'm not worried about the cake.

The cake is gonna rule.

I'm worried about showing up with a cake.

What do you mean?

There's a reason

I don't like telling anybody I like baking.

And what's that?

Because it's lame, Steven!

If I show up to this party

with my family's weird purple cake and with Sadie,

everybody's gonna know I love baking

and everybody's gonna know I love...

This isn't gonna be an ironic potluck.

It's gonna be, like,

family, couple, neighbor, actual potluck,

and I'm gonna be there being all bingo, bongo.

These are your friends.

They want you to come.

That's why they invited you...

so they'll get to know you better.

If they like you, they like you.

If they don't, then it's their loss.

Right?

That's pretty smart.

When did you get so mature?

Somewhere in between learning to summon my shield

and finding out my mom is a war criminal.

Okay! I'll do it.

Lars! It's going to go so good!

I got to get going and make my thing,

but I'll see you there, right?
