And Steven!
Amethyst.
Do you mind not bouncing so much?
Ooh.
Sorry.
I'm just super excited.
Greg is taking me to a show!
A show?
You mean like, at the thee-ay-terr?
No. Like at a Rrrra-ha-hock show!
Heh. Like a band! At a house!
With a whole bunch of people hanging out
and doing stuff!
Ooh! Man, that sounds cool.
We have an awesome night planned, too.
We're doing a puzzle.
Wow-wee.
I know it sounds tame, but it has 612 pieces.
And no corners!
I found a corner.
Oh!
Oh.
Hey, y'all.
Greg, Greg, Greg, Greg!
So, you ready to throw down in the pit?
No pits for me tonight.
I'm sorry, Amethyst.
It totally slipped my mind
that Barb invited me and Vidalia over for cards.
Cards?
Who broke you guys out of the retirement home?
Trust me, I'd love to go to the show!
But barb threatened to hold my mail if I didn't.
And she's not a woman of empty threats.
Man, forget it.
I can't go "show-lo."
That'll be boring.
You could hang out with us tonight.
And do a puzzle? Ha!
Maybe we can fit in some knitting, too.
That's not what I meant.
We could go to the show with you.
Really? Whaaaa?
You want to go to a show?
With loud music, and people pushing each other?
I've done my fair share of pushing.
Ohh, I think it's broken.
You two just never saw me in action!
Breaking every rule, taking on the authorities,
so I could indulge in the joys of life on Earth!
Oh! A sky piece.
Nice.
Well, if you'd like to go, you guys can take the Dondai.
Thank you, Greg.
Whoo-hoo-hoo! Rock show!
Hold on, pearl.
This is a human thing, not a Gem war.
Before you rock out, you're gonna want to blend in.
Now you're looking good.
Oh, yes.
But I can make it look even gooder.
It's cool, because the collar isn't supposed to go that way.
You a natural.
We're almost set on snacks for the road.
We just need some beverages.
Strawberry sugar shock shut down
or good old fashioned apple juice?
Definitely sugar shock shut down.
It turns everything red.
I'll have one too, Steven.
I think I'll try drinking tonight.
Wow, really?
I didn't know you liked apple juice?
There's a lot you don't know about me, Steven.
Whoa.
So, Amethyst, tell me more about this band we're seeing.
We're going to see Mike Krol.
He's got that real garage vibe.
Songs about being nostalgic for the suburbs.
Nostalgic for the suburbs? Pssh.
They've only existed for what? 70 years.
Okay, so, when we get to the show,
you got to walk in like you own the place.
Oh! Hey, right there. Perfect example.
Pearl, you okay?
Uh...
I just didn't realize humans could come with pink hair.
They don't.
You got to go to the store and get this goo.
It smells really bad,
and it turns your hair whatever color you want.
Why would she do that?
Why don't you go and ask her.
Hey, yeah!
We're about to go hang out with a bunch of cool humans.
Go do a practice round!
Do it! Do it! Do it!
I...uh...
Wow-w-w-w-w!
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wow.
Welp, you sure showed those cups who's boss.
Amethyst, seatbelt.
Now let's go have the night of our lives.
Okay, nobody's gonna say it?
She kind of looked like mom.
You noticed. I noticed. We all noticed.
Oh. Ohhh!
That's why you were acting like such a goon!
No, no. That's not it.
I'm done thinking about the past.
Tonight, I'm all about the future.
I'm going to a show.
I'm a new Gem who loves socializing with humans.
That's what that was?
Look, you weren't there by the cups.
I could've talked to her. The timing was just wrong.
It's the girl! She's driving right next to us!
No way!
You've got another chance!
Yeah! Do something!
Like what? Flash my lights? Honk at her?
Just shoot her a look.
Wait not yet.
Okay, okay. You can look... now!
Ooh, and there she goes.
Hey, maybe she's going to the same show as us.
I don't know, a girl that cool
probably knows about a billion shows going on tonight.
Pearl!
Aaaah!
Yeah, P!
What are you doing? The light was red!
