(The festivities continue into the night, and concluded at sunset. The tourist are going home. Connie steps out from the middle school. Steven is outside waiting for her in his car. She enters the car. They both leave. )
Connie: So did you pass out tonights permits for the beach nightfest?
Steven: Yes, everyone got their permits with the invitations.
Connie: Do you think Yellow is coming?
Steven: I'm not sure she is. Nobody knows where she went. And gems don't have social media, except for Peridot
Connie: You think she is okay?
Steven: I'm sure she's fine. Maybe she'll come by. And when she does, we'll give her a warm welcome. Anyway...what are you going to wear to the party?
Connie: I'm going to wear the salwar kameez, the one my mother got me before we got married.
Steven: Wow. I remember the day you wore that dress.
Connie: Yeah, you couldn't stop stuttering. (Steven chuckle)
Steven: I can't wait to see you.
(Meanwhile at the Lar's place, Lars is waiting on Sadie. He look ups and see's Sadie on the top of the door steps. He can't believe his eyes)
Lars: Wow... You look ...wow.
Sadie: Thanks
(Lars opens the door in a gentlemen's fashion)
Lars: Your chariot awaits, my lady
(Sadie plays along)
Sadie: Why, thank you my good sir.
(they both start to laugh. She enters the car, lars enters second)
Lars: I got champagne.
Sadie: Save it after the party. I can't believe that summer dance-off is finally here. Tonight is going to be one heck of a party!
Lars: Feeling is mutual, I can hardly wait.
(The party is about to commence, Steven and Connie arrive, they find a parking spot. They see Lars and Sadie)
Steven: Lars, Sadie, over here.
Lars: Hey Steven, Connie. You guys ready?
Steven: We sure are? We are taking the competition to the dance floor.
Lars: But this time, we are taking the trophy?
Connie: Save it for the dance off guys.
Sadie: Thats right. Lars, save it for dance floor cause we will beat the competition.
Connie: You sound like you're going to win Sadie, but that trophy is as good as mine.
Sadie: Are you sure about that?
Connie: I know so.
Sadie: We'll see.
(Steven whispers to Lars)
Steven: And they telling us to save it for the dance floor.
Voice: Looks like we made it just in time.
(they turn around to see their families.)
Greg: Hey, Steven, long time no see. You've gotten taller with more curly hair. You probably get that from my side of the family
Rose: Your side? I'm the taller one here.
(They begin to laugh)
Martha: Wow, Sadie you look great in that dress.
Sadie: Thanks, Martha
Barbara: Where is she? Where is my strong daughter? There you are, come here! (she gives Sadie a bear hug) It's good to see you again. (She see's Lars) There's my son in law. (She give Lars a really big bear hug, some of his bones crack. The others laugh. The lights turn on, its time.)
Priyanka: The event is starting. Let's go.
(The descend onto the beach, There are all manner of gems there. Garnet, Bismuth, Amethyst, Jasper, Peridot, Lapis, Pearl, Sabina, Pink Pearl, and Blue Pearl are there as well. We also see Holly Blue agate, Aquamarine and Onyx arrive. The citizens interact with the gems. Reynaldo is showing off his samurai skills with the katana. He cuts through a watermelon with a single stroke. It falls apart into four pieces. People applaud. Vidalia and Peridot inspect each others art. Kiki is practicing her singing voice. Kofi and Fryman are having a staring contest. The former mayor Dewey is inspecting the culinary creations. Kevin is showing his new car. Onion is being onion. Sourcream is teaching some citizens the art of the DJ. Then the microphone sounds off. Mayor Nanefua takes the podium)
Mayor Nanefua: Hello and welcome to First Summers Night event. It is a festival that celebrates the coexistence between gems and humans. From this coexistence, we have discovered what we are as a people. We have discovered arts, skills and knowledge that humanity could only dream of up until now. But this age, or Era 3, would not be possible if we had lost the war against White Diamond. We would not be here now, we would never have time to savor these time peace and harmony, if it wasn't for Pink, along with Blue and Yellow Diamond. Look at us, look all around yourselves. We are one people. There are no differences between our kinds our worlds. We stand united, we are a symbol of hope for any sentient life that may exist out there in the cosmos and you should be proud of yourselves for making this dream possible. (Suddenly Pink And Blue Aurora Borealis lights fill the sky. Everyone is amazed at this) Now, Ladies, Gentlemen and Gems, let's enjoy or First Summers Night. (People and gems applaud) Let the party begin! Let's start out with the opening act, music competition. Up first, the Guitar King of Coast Side Beach City, give a big hand for Greg Universe.
(Greg makes his appearance on the dance floor. He has his shades on. He smiles with those pearly white teeth. Cheering can be heard)
Rose: Thats my man!
(Nanefua hands the mic to Greg)
Greg: What's up Beach City.
(The crowd cheers, even Pearl)
Greg Universe: Y'all ready to hear some Music! For this year I want to try something different. Tonight, I give the people an opportunity to challenge me for top spot as Guitar King! Is there anyone from the audience want to take on the King?
Buck Dewey: I challenge you Greg Universe! (He brandishes his guitar)
Jenny Pizza: Same here! (She shows off her Guitar)
Greg: A Duo against the King? Perfect. Let the duel Begin. You guys ready?
Jenny and Buck: Whenever you are.
Greg: Try to keep up
(Guitar song is DragonForce - Through The Fire And Flames - Official Instrumental. Greg starts to play, he's slamming out the tunes, Buck and Jenny slam back. Both sides are playing with heart soul and intensity. The crowds are growing wild, both gems and people. Greg stops playing at 4:46 into the song and Jenny and Buck take over until 6:05 into the song. He is impressed. They finished the song in synchronization. The crowd goes wild, Greg puts his guitar around his shoulder and approaches the kids. He grabs the mic.)
Greg: Ladies and Gentlemen, your winners, Jenny Pizza and Buck Dewey, your New Guitar Kings of Beach City! (He gives his guitar to them.) Go on' show them.
(Jenny and Buck Raise the Guitar. They exit with a bow. The crowds cheer diminish as Nanefua takes the stage)
Mayor Nanefua: Now thats one way to start the event. We'll take a five minute break before the next act.
(Steven meets up with his father.)
Steven: Dad that was awesome.
Greg: It was. I though it would only be appropriate to retire from the music business with a bang.
(Steven smiles, Rose is calling Greg from a distance. Steven gives a gesture to Greg to go to her.)
Greg: Make sure you guys stay for the last act.
Steven: We will.
(Meanwhile Kiki is preparing for the next act. Amethyst sets up the drum set. Garnet tries out the keytar. Jasper tunes the guitar.)
Nanefua: One minute till the next act.
Kiki: Alright you guys, the first act was pretty cool. But this time we will knock the audience off their feet.
Jasper: WE WILL CRUSH THEM AND ALL THE OTHER COMPETITIONS WILL FALL! Just kidding. (She starts to laugh, Garnet can help but smirk, the others laugh) Let's have fun.
(Nanefua takes the stage)
Nanefua: Ladies and Gentlemen time for the next act. Please a big hand for Kiki and the Heart Breakers.
(the curtain rises to reveal a dark stage. A single column of light shine above Kiki. She begins to tap her foot onto the ground.)
Kiki: I followed my heart into the fire
Got burned, got broken down by desire
I tried, I tried but the smoke in my eyes
Left me blurry, blurry and blind
Amethyst: I picked all the pieces up off the ground
I've burned all my fingers but that's gone now
Got the glue in my hands I'm stickin' to the plan
Stickin' to the plan that says "I can"
Do anything at all
I can do anything at all
Kiki and Garnet: This is my kiss goodbye
You can stand alone and watch me fly
'Cause nothing's keeping me down gonna let it all up
Come on and say right now, right now, right now
Kiki, Garnet, Amethyst: This is my big hello
'Cause I'm giving, never letting go
I can finally see, it's not just a dream
When you set it all free, all free, all free
You set it all free
(Oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh)
Amethyst: I was a gem caught under your thumb
But my star's gonna shine brighter than your sun
And I will reach so high,
Shoot so far
Gonna hit, gonna hit, hit every target
Make it count this time
I will make it count this time
Kiki, Garnet, Amethyst, Jasper: This is my kiss goodbye
You can stand alone and watch me fly
'Cause nothing's keeping me down
I'm gonna let it all out
Come on and say right now, right now, right now
This is my big hello
'Cause I'm here and never letting go
I can finally see,
It's not just a dream
When you set it all free, all free, all free
You set it all free (oh oh oh)
You set it all free (oh oh oh)
You set it all free (oh oh oh)
(Jasper starts hitting those tunes)
Kiki: This is my kiss goodbye
You can stand alone and watch me fly
'Cause nothing's keeping me down
I'm gonna let it all out
Come on and say right now, right now, right now
Kiki, Garnet, Amethyst, Jasper: This is my big "hello"
'Cause I'm here and never letting go
I can finally see,
It's not just a dream
When you set it all free, all free, all free
You set it all free (oh oh oh)
You set it all free (oh oh oh)
You set it all free (oh oh oh)
You set it all free (oh oh oh)
Kiki: You set it all free

Mayor Nanefua: Wow, that ladies and gentlemen is what I call explosive, Let's hear it for them! (They crowd cheers on) Lets all take a breath and ready for the main event, Summer Dance Off.
(Crowd dies down, Steven and Connie look at Lars and Sadie. Its an epic stare down)
Connie: Look at them. They are trying to steal our thunder.
(They smile and wave at them. Lars and Sadie look at them and wave back, they smile)
Sadie: Lars, are we going to let them have this years trophy? I say heck no.
Lars: Your right sweetie.
Steven: Absolutely right, honey.
Nanefua: Alright lets get this dance off started. Don't be afraid to show off your strut, pull out all the stops if you have to. The team that does best will receive the Summer Nights Trophy. With that said and done, let's get this Dance off started. (Song Bee Gees You Should Be Dancing or Stayin' Alive) Who will step up?(Lars and Sadie take the floor.) Alright we got our first couple, let's see what they got.
(Lars and Sadie bring out the dance moves. People begin to cheer.)
Nanefua: Wow, the floor is on fire right now with these two. Any challengers? (Connie and Steven get on the dance floor) Alright, lets see some competition!
(Connie and Steven bring out their strut. People continue to cheer, especially the families of the couples. The competition is smooth yet fierce as these two couples duke it out with every step, turn, spin and pose)
Nanefua: Did I say the floor was on fire? These two couples are bringing the heat on a whole new level. Is there any other couple who wants in this contest?(Sabina and Pearl take the dance floor. Steven Lars, Connie and Sadie are shocked to see this.) Woah, we got some new couple stepping up. But can the dig it?
(Sabina and Pearl are really going at it. They even perform a fusion as one of their dance moves and initiate some breakdancing moves. Their movements are really something else)
Sadie: What the...
Connie: We've just been upstaged by some rookies
(The crowd is really going wild. The three couples finish their dance steps end with a pose. Music's finishes with the sound of applaud and cheering)
Nanefua: Well that was really something! This was probably one best dance offs since the day The Summer Nights Festival was first created. But there can only be one winning couple for this evening. Let's put it to a vote. The loudest cheer will indicate the winner. For our first couple, Lars and Sadie. (The crowd gives cheer.) Our second couple, Steven and Connie. (Cheers sound about the same) And now for our new couple, Sabina and Pearl (The crowd cheers louder) Well Ladies and Gentlemen, this years winning couple, Sabina and Pearl. Come up here you two. (Sabina and Pearl get onto the stage. Nanefua gives them the trophy. Sabina takes the trophy, Pearl takes the mic.)
Pearl: Thank you Mayor for this award. I just have something to say about this dance off. True we took the competition, but there was a bigger meaning behind it. We attended this competition because of our love each other, just like these two couples. It's never about winning, it is about who we care for. And that something that could that no trophy can replace.
(Sadie, Lars, Steven, and Connie think and recognize her words. They look at each other.)
Lars: Who need a silly trophy when I got you Sadie.
Steven: Connie, a trophy is not important when I'm with you.
(They hug their wives)
Crowd: AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.
(Rose and Greg approach Nanefua. They whisper something in her ears. She nods with agree)
Nanefua: Ladies and gentlemen, for tonights conclusion, Rose and Greg Universe dedicate this song to all the couples out here tonight. Please make you're way to the dance floor.
(People and gems make their way to the dance floor. Rose takes the mic.)
Rose: This song is called "Love led us here". (Greg plays his backup spare electric guitar. )
Greg: Was I dumb or was I blind
(couples begin to slow dance, including Connie and Steven, Lars and Sadie, Pink Pearl and Blue Pearl, Pearl and Sabina. Including Kiki and Reynaldo)
Or did my heart just lose its mind
Why'd I go and throw our perfect dream
away
Rose: Looking back I'll never know
How I ever let you go
But destiny could see
we deserved to have another day
Greg and Rose: Love led us here
Right back to where we belong
We followed a star
And here we are
The heavens seems so clear
Love Led Us Here
Greg: Love Led us here
Rose: Oooohhh
Greg: I confess it's sad but true
Rose: Sad but true
Greg: I lost myself when I lost you
But I held your memory through each
lonely night
Rose: Let's forget what's gone before
Greg: what's gone
Rose: Now we both know so much more
Greg: so much more
Rose: And we've been given
another chance to make it work out right
Greg: make it work
Rose and Greg: Love led us here
Right back to where we belong
We followed a star
And here we are
The heavens seems so clear
Love led us here
Greg: Now I know that life
can take you by
surprise
And sweep you off your feet
Rose and Greg: Did this happen to us or are we just
dreaming, Dreaming
Greg and Rose: We followed the stars And here we are
Now heaven seems so near
Love led us here
Greg: So take my hand
Rose: And have no fear
Rose Greg: We'll be alright
Love Led Us Here
(The event has ended. Everyone is going home. Steven and Connie continue to slow dance on an empty dance floor. Lars and Sadie resume the slow dance in their living room. Pink Pearl and Blue Pearl slow dance on the beach, Sabina and Pearl slow dance in parking lot. It was a very good night.)
