Steven, Garnet, Emathest and Pearl sit around a TV. "Come on guys, stop mucking around. We only have five minutes until our show's on." Garnet says.

"That's not enough time." Pearl replies Benson suddenly appears.

"There's always time for a song." Benson adds.

"Huh, who is that?" Steven looks around to see where he came from.

Benson starts singing

Benson: Time is a tool you can put on the wall or wear it on your wrist.
The past is far behind us, the future doesn't exist

Emathest: Oh.

Steven: Whats the time?

Benson: Its a quarter to nine, time to have a bath.

Pearl: What do you mean? We're already clean.

Benson: Scrub, scrub, scrub, til the water's brown
Time is a ruler to measure the day,
it doesn't go backwards, only one way
Watch it go round like a merry go round,
going so fast like a merry go round.
Lets go on a journey, a journey through time.
Time is changing all the time, its time to go to time.

Garnet: But we don't really want to we're going to miss our show

Benson: DON'T BE STUPID FRIENDS
C'mon its time to go.
Time is old like the Victorian times.

Mordecai: With cobbles and plague and speaking in rhymes

Rigby: With cobbles and chimneys a simpler time

Skips: With cobbles and sawdust and batteries and slime.

Steven: This tree that is old has circles inside

Benson: The tree that is older has shriveled and died

Pearl: The apple that is fresh is ripe to the core

Apple: and I rot over time a̺͖͖̬n̝̗̺̺͉̼̦d͇ ͖̺͍̠̬̻̺I̪͖̺͚̟̤'̙̫̘̥̗̜ͅṃ̬ ̻̮̟̫̟n̝̭̦̰̘͎o̺͙t͈̱̼ ̼̼̟̫̻̱an̺̖̪y̥͍̺̹̹̞͍mo̝͇͈̠͖̬͙ṛ̰̣̣̟͖̪e͔͎̳͙̦̩

Benson: Time can be told by the moon or the sun but time flies fast when you're having fun.

Emethest is shown making a card pyramid. Benson smacks it down.

Benson: There's a time and a place for mucking around

Steven: Like birthdays

Pearl: and camping

Thomas: I'm friends with my dad

There was a very awkward pause.

Garnet: and then what happened after the olden days?

Benson: Time went new and got old like history.
Stuff from the past went into a mystery

Emathest: an old man died

Benson: but look a computer
Everything's cool, IT'S THE FUTURE
Time is now, the future anew,
and look at all of the wonderful things you can do
With gadgets and gizmos and email addresses

High-5 Ghost: M-my dad is a c-c-c-c-computer...

Benson: Look at the time!

Pearl: Its quarter to eight, there's fish on my plate

Emathest: Its twenty past day, there's fish on my tray

Steven: Its eleven to twelve, there's fish in the bath

Garnet: Its nine thirty, there's fish everywhere...fish everywhere.

Benon: Now you can see the importance of time.
It helps us make pizza, it keeps things in line.

Pearl: But when did it start?

Steven: and when will it stop?

Benson: Time is important and I know a lot.

Garnet: If we run out of time, where does it go?

Emathest: Is time even real?
Does anyone know?

Pearl: Maybe time's just a construct of human perception.
An illusion created by-

Benson suddenly starts screaming

Benson: Meh, meh, meh, meh,
Meh, meh, meh, meh,

Sunrise, sunset night and day
The changing seasons the smell of hay.
Look at your hair grow, isn't it strange?
How time makes your appearance change...

Suddenly, Steven starts to grow up. He starts aging very quickly, and the Crystal Gems remember this.

"What are you doing? Don't kill Steven!" Pearl yells.

"You're fired, Steven." Benson maniacally laughs.

Garnet tries to attack Benson, but he moves too fast. Benson paralyzes all of them with his magic powers

"Make it stop!" Steven screams as he rapidly gets older.

Benson: Its out of my hands, I'm only a boss
Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be fine, but eventually everyone
