The Gems were about to leave on a weeklong mission. They weren't taking Peridot because she wasn't in the best state emotionally. "So you're just gonna leave me here by myself?" Peridot asked. "Yes." Garnet answered. "W-what am I supposed to do?" Peridot asked not wanting to be left behind. "I don't know play with your dog or something." Pearl said dismissively waving her arm. "Yeah Peri. You got this." Amethyst said while walking to the warp pad. "It's not a hard job. Just hold down the fort." Steven said before they all warped away.
"Play with your dog or something what a complete clod." Peridot said mocking Pearl. "Speaking of dog where is she? Pumpkin!?" Peridot called out. "Pumpkin! Where are you!?" Peridot started walking around the house trying to locate the animated fruit.
After receiving no results from a house sweep, Peridot concludes that she must've gotten outside. "Oh no PUMPKIN!" she yelled as she ran outside to find her pet.
"Oh she could be anywhere by now." Peridot thought as she roamed the streets of Beach City.
"You!" she called out pointing to Peedee. "Me?" Peedee asked. Peridot walked up to him. "Have you seen a pumpkin run by here?" she asked. "As crazy as that sounds, I have. He went that way." Peedee said pointing right. Peridot ran the way Peedee was pointing still calling after the fruit.
Two hours later, Peridot wasn't even in Beach City anymore. She was tired of walking around and yelling after the run away plant. She approached a bench at a bus stop and decided to sit down and take a rest. "Pumpkin." she groaned. She sat there for five minutes before getting up and continuing her search.
It's now nightime and she was exhausted. "He's probably at home now." she thought. She looked behind her but Beach City wasn't in sight. "Uh oh." she said. "Well it's nightime, maybe I can't because it's dark." she thought. She fell to her knees in exhaustion because falling over unconscious.
