"You've got this, guys! Just keep going at it!" Steven was standing off to the side with a megaphone, cheering on the Crystal Gems as they fought a giant monster on the beach in front of the temple. "Steven, we've been at this for two hours and this monster has shown no signs of slowing down!" said Pearl as she fired beams of light from her spear at the monster, which didn't even make it flinch. Garnet had climbed onto the monster and was punching it with her gauntlets repeatedly while Amethyst did her Spin Dash attack, not even bothering with her weapon. The monster threw the attacking Gems off of it with ease, leaving them in a dogpile on the ground. "Ugh, this is so dumb!" said Amethyst with a huff, "Nothing that we do is working!" "Don't give up yet!" said Steven, "There's gotta be something that can stop it!" "Well," said Garnet, lifting herself up, "there is this move that I have been developing for a while. Now seems like the perfect time to use it. Steven, get the other Gems to safety! I'll handle this."
Steven ran over to Amethyst & Pearl and put up his bubble shield around them while Garnet stepped in front, with her gauntlets aimed towards the monster. The gauntlets launched from her hands and orbited around each other, getting closer and closer until they merged to form one giant fist. The monster exploded into a giant cloud of smoke as soon as the giant fist made impact, leaving behind its gemstone falling to the ground. Garnet ran over and made a sliding dive across the sand just in time for it to land in her hand. "Batter out," quipped Garnet with a smirk. Steven just stood just awestruck with stars in his eyes. "That. Was. AWESOME!" "I know," replied Garnet, as she bubbled the gemstone, "Now let's get back home."
As they walked back towards the temple, Steven asked, "Hey Garnet, now that the mission's over, wanna play some video games with me?" "I wish I could, Steven," said Garnet said while patting Steven's head, "but I have plans for tonight. Maybe tomorrow, alright?" "Aw, okay," said Steven, crestfallen. This always happened on this day of the year every year; Garnet always had plans and Steven was curious as to what she was up to. And he knew just the person to help him figure it out.
