It was a hot summer day as Greg and Steven universe cleaned out Gregs garage, "Hey dad, didn't amethyst and the other gems clean this place out already?" Greg scratched the back of his head and laughed lightly, "Yeah I may have a problem." Steven laughed a little, then he walked over to the box of records while he listened to the music already playing, "Gasp! Whoa dad look at this!" Greg stumbled over a chair he didn't know he even had, "You know for a guy who lives in a van I sure do have a bunch of junk..." Steven ignored his dad as he shoved the record in his face, "Dad, look! look!" Greg moved the record out of his face so he could see, "Haha, alright! What do ya got there squirt?" Steven smiled a big smile as he showed his dad the rec- ... Oh God. Greg took the record threw it in the trash and tried to burn it. But Steven got to it in time, "Dad what are you doing?!" Greg was a extremely nervous, "Oh nothing! I just know you won't like it that's all!" He lied sweating enough to fill a lake, "But dad I never knew you played metal!" Steven went to put on the record when Greg stopped him, "And there's a good reason son." Greg took a giant breath, "Steven... We need to talk."

"Don't stop belllieeevvving! Hold to that feeaaling!" Greg sang along with the music, "Haha do you ever get tired of that song?" Rose asked sitting on a rock near the van. "Are you kidding me?! Never! Believe me babe I know good music-" Greg was cut off by pearl, "Could've fooled me." Greg shot pearl an annoyed glare, and rose simply took it as 'playing' between the two. "ANYWAY. I know good music and those people are going places." Greg said suddenly back to his normal attitude. "Well I have to trust mr. Universe don't I?" Rose said while playing with his hair, meanwhile pearl was simulating barfing but if they kept it up it wouldn't be a simulation.
Meanwhile in the gas station...
"Hm. I believe he would like the cola beverage, but he might also like the orange one." Garnet was trying to decide on what to get Greg, 'Oh garnet be a dear and get Greg a drink from a gas station was it?' "It's a personal mission from rose. I will not lose." Garnet said while amethyst ran around like a kid in a candy store. "What's this?! ... Dried meat? Are you kidding me! Garnet can we live here?! Oh look chips lots and lots of chips! Please tell me I'm not the only one seeing this?!" Garnet then made a decision and dragged amethyst out.
"Oh garnet you're back!" Rose said "Did you get Gregs drink?" Garnet nodded and set the bag of soda on the ground. "Geez garnet how much did you get?!" Greg screamed looking at the amazingly still in one piece bag. "I simply calculated every single beverage you would enjoy and bought one of each... Too much?" Greg nodded "Oh well, hey pearl you want one?" Pearl looked at him suspiciously. "Why would you give me one?" Greg took out one and held it out to her. "I don't know just wanted to share, you seem like you'd get thirsty a lot." (... Yes I did.) "Excuse me 'mr. Universe' but gems like me *cough* not you *cough* don't need such things" pearl said trying to sound dignified, and hateful. "Yeah yeah you can fuse. But I've decided on what I'm going to do with my rose here." Pearl scoffed "And what is that?" Greg wore a smile of victory "tackle the one genre of music I'm not used too, METAL!"

"... I was an idiot." Greg said with his hands hiding his face.
