Lapis was flying over the Prime kindergarten, keeping an eye on Peridot to make sure she didn't get attacked. "Finally!" yelled Peridot. "I found he right one!" She was inside a hole that had a strange glow coming from it. Lapis landed inside the hole.
"The right WHAT?" she asked.
"The right hole. It has what I'm looking for in it." She picked up a glowing rock. "Come on, Lapis! I need to-" But before she could finish, there was a flash of light, and in the spot Peridot had been standing sat a Peridot Gemling.
"Steven!" said Lapis, almost ripping the front door off its hinges.
"What?! You never come to the temple, so whatever just happened is probably urgent!"
"Peridot turned into a Gemling!" she panted.
"What's a Gemling?"
"A baby Gem! She was holding a weird rock and she just turned into a baby!"
"Where's the rock?" chipped in Pearl.
"I have it!" She held the rock out while handing Peridot to Steven.
"It's called a Youth Stone. I didn't know these existed!"
"Well, we can help her! Right Lapis?" declared Steven. But Lapis didn't answer. Because she had been turned into a baby too.
Pearl shrieked, and turned into a crying baby. Steven grabbed Lapis, plugged the sink, put the taps on and sat Lapis down in it. When he walked back in, Garnet had defused and Ruby and Sapphire were sitting on the floor, looking absolutely bewildered. Which wasn't surprising, as they too had been turned into babies. And Amethyst was now a Gemling and was asleep on the floor. "Oh no!" yelled Steven. He ran back into the bathroom. Lapis wasn't there. Then a baby version of corrupted Jasper came bolting out of the temple, Lapis hanging on to her fur and giggling. Steven grabbed a chicken leg and threw it on the floor in front of Jasper. She screeched to a halt and started chewing on it. Then Steven grabbed the rest of the Gemlings, took them upstairs and dumped them on his bed in front of Crying Breakfast Friends which distracted them, except for Ruby and Sapphire, who were distracted by each other.
Steven sat on the sofa and texted Connie. EMERGENCY! Come to the temple quick! Then a pink lion cub slammed the door open and started play-wrestling puppy Jasper. "Oh no Lion not you too!"
"OOOWWWWW!" screamed Pearl, which was understandable, as Amethyst had just pushed her down the stairs because she had tried to grab MC Bear Bear because, according to Pearl, it was 'her turn.' Amethyst laughed until she fell down the stairs on top of Pearl, which triggered them both crying which had woken up Peridot who was asleep on Lapis, making her jump onto the TV. The shock of having her lap used as a launch pad triggered Lapis to start crying which set Ruby and Sapphire off. Meanwhile Jasper had got overzealous while playfighting Lion and had started sinking her teeth into Lion's leg while he growled and snapped. Then Connie arrived.
