Year 1: Beach Party

For you humans, a beach can be very relaxing spot. But for us gems...

(The Crystal Gems gets blown away by a giant pufferfish, making Amethyst and Steven fall on the sand, while Garnet, Pearl and I on our feet.)

Well, If you watch this show often enough you'd get the gist.

Amethyst: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Steven: Whoaaaaaaaaaaaa! (lands on the sand on a boogie board)

Pearl: Are you okay, Steven?

Steven: *on a boogie board* I've seen better days.

Amethyst: *innocently* Pearl, I got a boo-boo.

Pearl: Oh, walk it off!

Garnet: Here it comes! *Watermelon Tourmaline, resembling a pufferfish, rises out of the ocean and blows a strong wind* You all distract it! (Garnet jumps into the air)

Pearl: *to Steven, Amethyst, and me* Let's show this thing what we're made of, guys!

Amethyst: What do you think we've been doing for the past hour? *Pearl throws her spear at the pufferfish but the pufferfish blows it back to them*

Pearl: Duck! *Pearl ducks as it flies towards Amethyst*

Amethyst: *looks around* Man, I don't see any duc— *she sees the spear and ducks, a bit of her hair sliced off* Quack!

Me: (I catch the spear in my hands and threw it back at Pearl) Think fast!

Steven: Steven's turn! *he throws the boogie board and it gets stuck to the one of the pufferfish's spikes* Yep, it's got spikes.

Amethyst: It's okay, *puts her arm on his shoulder* Here comes Garnet! *Garnet drops down over the pufferfish*

Steven: Smash that puff! (Garnet tries to smash it, but the pufferfish's blowing power stops her. She then goes flying through the sky and crashes on a building on the boardwalk.) Aw, man! We blew it!

Me: Pun intended.

Amethyst: Ugh, whatever! *She runs up to the pufferfish, shapeshifts into a baseball bat, I hold it and I swing at the pufferfish far into the ocean*

Me: Home run!

Pearl: Amethyst! Smacking it really far away doesn't solve anything! We needed to destroy it. Now it's just gonna come back later.

Me: *scoffs* We took care of it, didn't we?

Amethyst: Yeah, so we'll deal with it later.

Pearl: Ugh!

Steven: Let's get Garnet. She landed by the boardwalk. (The rest of the Gems walk to the boardwalk)

[At Fish Stew Pizza]

Kofi: (Garnet is calmly laying on the wrecked sign of Fish Stew Pizza while Kiki and Kofi Pizza look up at her.) Would you answer me?! You've wrecked my sign, and now you're just sitting up there! Are we engaged in a secret staring contest?! *the other gems arrive*

Steven: Garnet! Are you okay? *Garnet hops down*

Garnet: I'm fine.

Kiki: Hi, Steven.

Amethyst: *laughing* This place is wrecked! Gimme one down low! *puts her hand up for high-five, but Pearl shoves her hand down*

Pearl: No accolades for you, Amethyst! *to Garnet* She and Marble knocked the pufferfish back out into the ocean!

Amethyst: Narc!

Garnet: Don't bring me into this.

Pearl: You're the one who took her side, you little-

Garnet: Hey! Don't make me split you three apart!

Amethyst: Well, she started it. Narc.

Garnet: Let's regroup at the temple. *We jump into the sky*

As we left, Steven was trying to patch things up with the Pizza family for Garnet smashing their resturant sign. But he only managed to get him and us banned from his resturant.

[In Steven's Kitchen]

(The gems are all gathered around the kitchen counter)

Amethyst: Why don't we just, like, let it roam free?

Garnet: That's not an option. *Steven walks up to them*

Amethyst: Hey, Steven!

Steven: I've got bad news, everyone. You've all been banned from Fish Stew Pizza.

Me: And that's bad news how?

Amethyst: That pizza wasn't even good.

Steven: Aren't you guys upset about this?

Garnet: Not at all.

Steven: But these are our neighbors!

Garnet: There's nothing we can do about that now.

Pearl: Now we have to figure out a way to take care of that pufferfish.

Steven: What's the point of saving people if they're just gonna ban you from their pizza shops?

Me: There's more to this job than privileges you know.

Garnet: We don't do it for thanks.

Steven: Yeah, see! That's so nice of you, the Pizzas don't even know! If they got to spend some time with you they'd see how fun,*Amethyst is shown* and smart, *Pearl is shown* and funny, *I am shown* and mysterious you are! *Garnet is shown*

Garnet: Heh, mysterious.

Steven: Hmm... *gasp* I know! I'll throw a little party on the beach in front of the temple! Just us and the Pizzas.

Amethyst: I don't know, Steven. I mean...

Steven: Don't worry! I'll take care of everything!

[Outside Crystal Temple]

Steven: (Steven is cooking hot dogs, hamburgers and chicken patties on a barbecue grill.) Man, this is gonna be so good. *sniffs food and giggles*

Amethyst: Hey, Steven.

Steven: Hey!

Me: How's it coming?

Pearl: Got everything ready for your little party?

Steven: Yeah, and there's one more thing. *hands them a magazine reading "Foine Summer Special" and Garnet grabs it*

Steven: I was thinking you guys could change your outfits.

Pearl: What's wrong with what we have on now?

Steven: Nothing. I just thought it would be nice to go kinda casual.

Me: Is "Foine" even a word?

Nanefua: Is this the right address? *Pizza family walks onto the beach*

Jenny: I've never seen this side of the beach before.

Steven: Oh man, they're here! Hurry up and change. *walks to the Pizza family* Over here everyone! Hi!

Jenny & Kiki: Hey, Steven!

Nanefua: Hello.

Steven: How are you all doing today?

Kofi: The shop is closed today, because it's broken. *Other Pizzas look around nervously. Kiki cringes*

Steven: *sweating* Oh, uh, that sounds, uh...

Nanefua: Hey! Do I smell hot dogs? Show me where the hot dogs are.

Garnet: We are the Crystal Gems! Garnet! *changes into a two-piece swimsuit with a dark red top, with a pink outline and a slanted black skirt with a red stripe that stops slightly above her knees*

Amethyst: Amethyst! *changes into a sleeveless, dark violet tank top, denim shorts, and a pale green fanny pack. Her hair is tied as a ponytail*

Pearl: Pearl! *changes into a flowing, sky-blue sundress extending to her knees with a white shawl around her shoulders*

Me: Marble! *I change into a simple black bikini*

Steven: And Steven! But you already knew my name...

Nanefua: Oh, you're all so talented.

Kofi: So, you are a circus act.

Pearl: Circus act?

Steven: *nervously* Hey, let's eat!

(Amethyst lifts burger off table and loudly takes a large bite.)

Kiki: Everything came out great!

Steven: Thanks, Kiki.

Nanefua: Aren't you girls hungry? You've barely touched your food.

Garnet: We don't need to eat.

Me: That makes two of us. *I grab a hot dog and eat it* That's Garnet and Pearl in case you folks are wondering.

Kofi: So, you all live in that tiny house up on that hill?

Garnet: *waves sparkling hand* We inhabit the inner sanctums, only accessible by magical, multidimensional doors.

Me: Well, that's one way of explaining it.

Jenny: And why does this place look like it's falling apart?

Pearl: Well, the temple has been here for thousands of years—

Kofi: Oh! I see how it is, when something breaks around here, you just leave it alone. JUST LIKE THE SIGN AT MY SHOP!

Steven: Um... who wants to play volleyball?

Steven: (draws a line in the sand for the volleyball court) Okay, everyone, the court is all set. Now to get into our teams.

Pearl: But, Steven, won't our abilities give us an unfair advantage?

Steven: That's why I'm picking the teams. Amethyst and Jenny! Pearl and Kiki! Garnet and Kofi! And last, but not least, yours truly and Nanefua!

Nanefua: I haven't played in ages but I bet I could whoop all your butts.

Steven: That's the spirit.

Kofi: What about the big purple thing over there? (Points to me working on my tan)

Me: I'll be the referee.

Steven: You guys ready? Let's play!

Amethyst: Oh-ho! Hope you're ready to lose, Pearl.

Pearl: There is no way I'd lose to someone like you!

Amethyst: Here we come! *Amethyst hits the ball*

Kiki: Uh...hah! *Kiki hits the ball up*

Pearl: Nice one, Kiki!

Kiki: Aaand.. pow! (Amethyst and Jenny miss the ball)

Steven: Amethyst! No kicking!

Amethyst: What kind of game is this?

Pearl: Nicely done, Kiki! *Pearl and Kiki high five, Kiki laughs*

Steven: Try and stick to the rules, Amethyst!

Nanefua: Try harder, Jenny!

Kiki: Here it comes! *Hits the ball* *Jenny pulls on the net, making it wobble* Come on, Jenny! Ref!

Jenny: What? I'm not doing anything.

Amethyst: My move! *Amethyst shapeshifts into a tennis racket*

Jenny: Aw, yes!

Pearl: That was uncalled for, Amethyst! Marble, aren't you going to say anything? *Pearl sees me sleeping* Guess not...

Jenny: You afraid of getting a little sand in your hair, Kiki?

Kiki: No, just trying to keep tidy.

Pearl: There's nothing wrong with trying to keep tidy.

Nanefua: So exciting!

Steven: Yeah!

Kofi: Our turn.

Garnet: I'm ready.

Jenny: I got this one.

Kofi: Jennifer! You touch that ball, you're grounded!

Jenny: Whoa! Daddy, you cheatin'!

Kofi: HA-HA-HA! The look on your face! Hahaha!

Garnet: This is going to be easy.

Nanefua: It'd be nice if they stuck to the basics.

Amethyst: Take this, Garnet! Yeeeee-ha! *Amethyst hits the ball high up in the air*

Garnet: Haaaghh! Ah! *Garnet hits the ball*

Jenny: (The ball is coming full speed at Amethyst and Jenny.) We should probably move, huh?

Amethyst: Yeah... we should. *Both Amethyst and Jenny move away, and when the ball hits the ground, the sand turns into glass*

Kofi: Hahaha! You're all running like wild chickens! Hahahaha!

Amethyst & Jenny: Woaaaaah!

Nanefua: Did you know that when sand is super heated it turns into glass?

Steven: I did not know that. *I snore*

Amethyst: (Amethyst takes the glass heated by the ball and throws it into the ocean, grunting) Let's play!

(Jenny slides in the sand, grunting. Amethyst kicks the ball)

Pearl: Amethyst! (Kiki hits the ball, grunting.) Aah... (Pearl summons five Holo-Pearls.) *with Holo-Pearls* Over here, Amethyst! Over here!

(Garnet and Amethyst each hit the ball.)

Kofi: Kofi time! *Kofi hits the ball*

Jenny: Jenny time!

Kofi: You can't use the car for a month! *Jenny screams*

Jenny: Daddy!

Amethyst: Why you cheating so much?

Garnet: You cheated first.

Amethyst: Says one half of the team who's one penalty away from being kicked out of the game.

Pearl: You should consider yourself lucky.

Kiki: yeah, you and Jenny barely got anything.

Garnet: They still cheated.

Jenny: That is not true. *Gems, Kiki, Kofi, and Jenny continue to argue in the background*

Nanefua: This is getting out of hand.

Steven: *sigh* I'll run and get the ball. *Suddenly a strong gust of wind blows* Hey, why is it getting so... WINDY!? Ah, no! It's back! Pufferfish monster's back!

Me: *wakes up* Hmm? (sees the monster) What the?!

Nanefua: What's all the—

Steven: Nanefua! Marble! Ruuuunnn!

(I grab Nanefua while the Gems, Kiki, Kofi, and Jenny still arguing)

Amethyst: We should win 'cause we're the best.

Kiki: Y'all cheated!

Garnet: You are lying.

Pearl: Cheaters!

Kofi: Everyone is grounded here!

Steven: Garrneeeet!

Garnet: Steven! Oh, no! Gems! Protect the Pizzas! *The gems grab the Pizzas and jump away to safety*

I jumped in and battled the giant pufferfish alongside the other gems. And It looked like we were finished, until Steven and Nanefua enter the scene.

Nanefua: Oh! Oh! Over here!

Steven: No! Over here! Come on! *Nanefua, Steven and I run in circles distracting the monster*

Pearl: Oh my gosh! Steven!

Kiki: What are they doing?

Steven: Everybody! Get ready!

Kofi: Mom, you are crazy!

Garnet: Not crazy... brave.

Jenny: Gunga! Careful with your back!

Steven: Amethyst! Turn yourself into a ball!

Amethyst: Okay! *shapeshifts into a ball*

Nanefua: Jenny! Roll Amethyst to the net and then hold on!

Jenny: Sure thing! (rolls Amethyst to the net)

Nanefua: Pearl! Head over to Jenny and Amethyst!

Pearl: Yes, ma'am! *jumps over to the net*

Nanefua: Hit Amethyst into the air as hard as you can!

Pearl: *Cracks knuckles* With pleasure. *Pearl hits Amethyst high into the air*

Nanefua: Kofi! Kiki! Get over to the net!

Steven: Garnet, spike the beach!

Garnet: I understand! *Garnet equips her gauntlets and grabs Amethyst*

Amethyst: Be gentle.

Garnet: I'll try! (Garnet hits Amethyst. Amethyst grunts as she gradually sets aflame. Amethyst lands on the sand, creating a huge spike of glass.)

Nanefua: Here comes the tricky part!

Steven: I'm ready!

Nanefua: Everyone take the net to the other side of the court!

Steven: Okay, everyone, pull the net into its face! (We all push the net onto the monster's face, which pushes it to the glass)

Nanefua: It's not enough!

Steven: Don't worry, here comes Garnet! (Garnet punches the monster into the spiky glass. A cloud of sand covers the screen)

Kofi: Thanks for your hospitality. *Nanefua lightly punches his stomach*

Nanefua: And?

Kofi: And, for saving my family, you are all officially un-banned from my shop.

Steven: Aw, thank you so much, Kofi!

Kofi: Don't push your luck, boy!

Steven: We really appreciate it, right, guys?

Garnet: Okay, yes, thanks.

Steven: Aaaand?

Pearl: What were we banned from again? (Steven laughs nervously)
