[Scenes of a city on fire] Some people say... [People in helicopters fly in] You can't teach... [An evil giant robot attack the city, as the helicopters approach it] An old dog... [A robotic dog looks up] New tricks... [The robot destroys the helicopters] Unless you're... [A girl and the dog look and nod at each other, and the dog sprouts propellers in its back] Dogcopter 3, in 3D!

It is then revealed that Connie is just showing Steven and Speedy the movie trailer on her phone. "Whooaaa... I can see why this is your favorite film franchise."Steven says in awe. "It's interesting to say the least."Speedy says "That's right! In a world where humanity is pushed to the brink, it turns out that the one who is most human, is a dog! -Copter."Connie says Steven laughs. "And did you see where that missile came out of?"Speedy asks as he rewinds the video both he and Steven laugh some more.

"Yeah. I just hope it stays faithful to the book."Connie says as The warp pad suddenly beams in. "Whooaaa..."Connie says "The Gems are back."Steven says happily. "Greetings."Garnet said "Sup G."Speedy says as they high five. "Me, Steven and Connie are gonna go watch a movie what are you gals up to?"Speedy asks "Gem stuff, do you happen have power that can help you track down certain things if you smell it?"Garnet asks. "Yep I do, need me to change into it now?"Speedy asks "oh, no no no, just asking so I can remember for the future."Garnet says

"Oh-ho-ho, that's easy!"Amethyst Speedy hears and turns to see Amethyst shapeshifts into Dogcopter and flies into the air. "Who needs to go see movies when you've got, magiiiiiccc!"Amethyst says. "Amethyst had connie not shown you Dogcopter would you at any moment shapeshift into him, or why watch Lonely blade if it's just movie, Amethyst sometimes I swear you make no sense even to yourself."Speedy says as he shakes his head.

Amethyst shapeshifts her head into a boombox and start playing up-beat tempo music. Garnet bobs her head to the beat, while Pearl groans in annoyance. "That's a earth item also it's not magic."Speedy says "why you always gotta rain on my parade?"Amethyst asks "why do you do it to others, Do onto others as you would like them to do you, wise words from a wise being."Speedy says "very wise."Pearl says

"anyways check this out!"Steven says as he walks over to the kitchen counter and points to the snacks on top. "We got our own snacks."Steven said proudly. "My parents say I'm not allowed to buy snacks at the theater, So, we're not buying anything at the theater."Connie explained why they had so many snacks. "Keep thinking like that and I just may hire you as my attorney Ms. Connie."Speedy says Jokingly.

"attorney?"Steven asks "I'll explain another time, and Amethyst back off, the snacks belong to Steven and Connie I left you some cash in your room so you can buy your own."Speedy says "yes!"Amethyst says as she rushed off. "you hid it in her junk pile didn't you?"Garnet asked. "Yep."Speedy replied.

"Speaking of which, how are we getting to the theater? It's... kinda far."Connie asks Steven. "Don't worry, I've got it covered. Today, we're gonna travel in style!"Steven says as he stuff all the snacks into his Cheeseburger backpack.

Speedy was already outside the house when Steven and Connie caught up to him. "Introducing the finest in luxury transportation... Lion!"Steven says as Lion yawns and lies down on the sand. "Aw, you little goofball."Steven says as he hugs Lion. "You have a pet lion?!"Connie asked a bit scared. "and he's pink, you know not a normal color for a lion."Speedy says "Lion is sorta like a pet. He does his own thing most of the time, though."Steven says "you do know Lion are part of the cat family and cats do whatever they want most of the time."Speedy says.

Lion is then seen chomping on something as sparkling feathers falls out of his mouth. Steven and Connie look over and see a half-eaten small reptile by Lion's paws. "Wow, Steven. Everything in your life is so awesome and magical."Connie says as she picks up a stick that was nearby. "The most exciting thing in my life is tennis practice."Connie says as she starts swinging the stick around. "Forehand! Backhand! Overhead death strike!"Connie said "I used to play Tennis me and my friends have no idea how to hold back."Speedy says as he showed Connie his Tennis racket. "Whoa! Tennis is rad!"Steven said

Lion starts snarling at the trio. "I think Lion says we should hurry up and go. Or maybe he was just yawning."Steven says Steven and Connie blink and stare at each other for a few seconds. "Anyways, let's go to the movie!"Steven says as he raises him arms up in joy. Speedy picked him up and placed him on Lion back then he placed Connie as well. "alright where Lion goes I can go, so let's get this show on the road."Speedy says as he does a few leg warm ups.

"And we're off!"Steven says but Lion just stands there and stares blankly into space. "Uhh... Lion, I want you to take us to the movie."Steven says Steven waits a few seconds, but Lion is still not moving. "Okay, you're not listening to me."Steven says he turns to Connie and chuckles nervously. "Lion isn't trained very well. But I'm not trained very well either, so we're a—"Steven says but then Lion's eyes suddenly widen and he roars. He rears up on his hindlegs and begins charging forward.

Speedy who was ready runs next to lion easily keeping at his pace as they were heading towards the ocean. Lion leaps forward to the ocean and lands on the water surface, standing upright, as if he is on land Speedy has to circle around them so he doesn't sink. "You can walk on water?! Why don't you tell me you can do these things you d- (Lion starts running before Steven can finish talking.) -ooooo?!"Steven asked Speedy chased Lion and was running backwards. "maybe because he can't gem/human."Speedy says

Lion continues to run on the water with Steven and Connie riding happily on its back. Some seagulls join in to fly alongside with the group. A fishing boat with people on it comes into view as Lion runs past it. Steven waves at the shocked sailors on the boat. "Hey-o!"Steven says happily Speedy gives the fisher men some flying fish he caught. "have a great day."Speedy says

The shadows of two whales can be seen underwater as Lion keeps running out to sea Speedy was a bit nervous as some flashbacks of being chased by an orca came to his head. Connie soon notices they are getting further and further away from Beach City. "Uh... Are you sure he knows where he's going?"Connie asked since she is worried. "Maybe it's... a shortcut?"Steven replied not really sure.

"don't worry about, plus you can't lie this view is perfect!."Speedy says as he splash a little bit of water on Steven face. "Hey no fair."Steven giggles. "Lion's eyes begin to glow white as he emits a magical roar. The roar shoots across the water and then transforms in a white portal with a pink edge. Lion runs right towards it, while Connie and Steven scream, Speedy looks at it and he remembers the warp zones he used to use back on his home planet.

Lion dives into the portal with Speedy right next to him and it closes up behind him. The group is then warping through a dimension with a starry blue and white background. Steven and Connie continue to scream, as Steven clings onto Lion's mane while Connie has her arms wrapped around Steven's waist. Speedy meanwhile floating on his back as he chilled out and likes the color of the portal.

The portal opens up in a cave location with a huge platform in the center of a shallow lake. The group emerges through the portal and Lion skids across the water, while Steven and Connie groans in awe from the excitement. Lion then sits down, causing Steven and Connie to fall off of him and into the shallow water. Speedy fell into the water due to not paying attention when they exited the portal. Lion, now atop the platform, growls at Steven and Connie to draw their attention and begins walking to the center of the platform.

"Lion!"Steven says as he climbs up to the platform. "Wait! Where are you going?!"Steven asks. Steven gasps when Connie, who was looking around distractedly in wonder, bumps into him. "Whoa! Is this one of those magic Gem places that you've told me about?"Connie asks. Steven and Connie starts walking toward the center of the platform, when the ground suddenly lights up in light pink beneath their feet. The light zooms in towards the center of the platform and becomes a short beam, with Lion standing next to it Speedy wets lion. "that's for not warning me when we exited the portal."Speedy says as he shakes his body dry.

"Yep. Magic gem place."Steven says. The beam fades away, as a hand-shaped pedestal with Rose Quartz's symbol raises out from the platform. Steven and Connie run over to inspect the pedestal. "Lion, normally I'm all about this stuff, but this is not the movies."Steven says Lion growls in response. Steven throws his hands up in exasperation. "What does that mean, Lion? What does that even mean?"Steven asks "What if he brought you here... for a reason?"Connie says as she was Examining the pedestal.

"Well, maybe, but if we don't hurry, we're gonna miss the commercials, and then we might miss the previews, and we still have to find the perfect seats, near the front but not too close."Steven says "hey Steven if you put your hand on the pedestal, I'll buy popcorn from the theater with any drink you want."Speedy says Steven didn't think twice he placed his hand on the Pedestal just as Speedy finish talking. "Deal!"Steven said.

But The pedestal and the whole platform begins to glow, and Steven and Connie gasp in surprise. "Hey, I think it likes you!"Connie says as she looks around. "Ah! AAAH! My hand's stuck! It won't... come off!"Steven says as he tries to get his hand off the Pedestal. "Hang on!"Connie says as she tries to help Steven yank his hand off the pedestal, with no luck. "Man, that's really stuck on good. I guess we'll have to chop it off."connie says "WHAT?!"Steven asks loudly. A white case emerges out of the platform and opens up, revealing several swords in a line-up. "Ohh slice and dice time."Speedy says "NO!"Steven shouts The swords retract back into the white case and back into the platform.

"Whoa! How'd you do that?"Connie asks "um I don't know."Steven replies "Do it again! Do it again!"Connie and Speedy say at the same time. "Um, okay."Steven say as he begins straining and grunting, trying to make something happen. "Anything?"Steven asks "No... let's try Here."Connie syas as she pinches Steven's arm. "Ow! What are you— Hey!"Steven says as Connie then pulls Steven's ear. "Maybe if I do... this!"Connie says as she pokes Steven sharply in his side. Jerks and hunches over the pedestal, giggling. "Wait, I'm ticklish."Steven pleads as he giggles while Connie continues poking Steven in his side, causing him to laugh uncontrollably. "Wait. Stop. Stop. I'm gonna pee!"Steven says A series of armor suits rise out of the platform all around the group. Speedy had to jump as the backwards to not get hit by the rising armor. "Nice set of Armor, think it belongs to your mom?"Speedy asks "maybe not sure."Steven says

"hey Connie Press my nose! Press my nose!"Steven says "Boop!"Connie says as she pushes a finger against Steven's nose gently. The suits of armor retract back into the platform. Three laser light cannons attached together then emerge out of the platform. "Are those light cannons?"Steven asks "and to think pearl couldn't believe that your mom would trust your dad with one."Speedy says Connie grabs the corners of Steven's mouth and pulls them. "Next!"She said A bunch of axes rise out of the platform. A statue of a woman with her arms outstretched and three spikey chain balls hanging on each arm then rises out of the platform. A giant coin follows out of the platform. "A giant penny?"Steven and connie asks "Does that means it's worth more than a regular penny?"Connie asks "Well, that would make...cents."Steven says

"Leave the puns to the master."Speedy says as Lion proceeds to lie down on his side at the edge of the platform, looking rather bored. "This is so great, but...*begins to worry* I get the feeling, though, I'm not really supposed to be here."Connie says "don't worry about it none of us should be here yet here we are thanks to a lion."Speedy says "I want you here! I mean, I don't want you here. I guess Lion wants us here. But I want us to be at the movies! And I want to see lots of explosions."Steven says Then the pedestal and platform suddenly stop glowing. Steven, his hand now freed, stumbles back onto Connie as the pedestal sinks back into the platform. A whirring noise is heard as a robot rises out of a wide circle in the platform. The robot turns around to face Steven and Connie. Steven and Connie gasps as triangular walls begin to rise all over the platform.

"Should we be worried about this?"connie ask Steven and speedy look over at Lion, who yaned and started to nap. "Lion doesn't seem to be worried."Steven says Then triangular walls begin to glow white and the robot glows in yellow. A crackling sound can be heard as the robot generates a ball of electricity from its cannon. "Run!"Speedy shouts Steven and Connie scatter as the electricity ball is fired in their direction, exploding at where they were just standing. The robot starts glowing blue and floats after Speedy. The robot shoots a beam of ice at Speedy who quickly side steps and the beam freezes where he was previously standing. "ha you missed."Speedy says as he was taunting the robot. "Steven! What do we do?!"Connie asks

The robot starts shooting fireballs at Connie, as she dodges and jumps out of the way. Steven gets up and helps Connie up on her feet. The robot floats over and prepares to shoot another fireball at the pair. Steven and Connie hold hands and close their eyes in fear, when Steven's protective bubble shield encases around them. The robot shoots the fireball and the force pops the bubble. Steven and Connie are then surrounded in a ring of fire and visibly hurt. Speedy was dodging other blast from the robot trying to get to Steven and Connie.

"Ugh... My bubble. *notices Lion approaching him* Lion! Get us out of here, Lion, please!"Steven says beggingly Lion glares at Steven for a brief moment, before lying down on his stomach. Steven and Connie quickly gets on top of Lion's back. Whirring and crackling noises can be heard as the robot, glowing yellow, aims another electric ball at the group. Lion jumps off of the platform and into the water, dodging the robot's attacks, before roaring another portal open and diving through it Speedy of course followed right behind them but he was bring stones with him.

Lion leaps out of the portal. A ticket booth lady looks on in surprise as he skids across the road outside of the movie theater. "What!? *throws his arms out in anger* Now you take us to the movies!?"Steven says as Lion closes his eyes and sits down, causing Steven and Connie to fall off of his back. Connie touches a burn on the side of her face. "ah!."Connie says as the burn stings. "Connie, here. I have something for that. *pulls out a soda can out of his backpack and hands it to Connie* Sorry. They're not that cool."Steven said before Connie took it Speedy touched the Soda can as he turn into his Ice form and watched as the outside of the can became a white due to his ice touch. "Thanks Steven and Speedy…cool hair by the way."Connie says as she pressed the Soda can against her face.

"Well, we're here. Shall we go in?"Steven asks not paying attention to the portal that was still opened. "That's okay... L-Let's just forget about it."Connie says "Huh? *gets upset* I-I'm sorry! *looks down in shame* Ugh! I ruined everything, didn't I? I don't know why you hang out with me. I mess stuff up all the time."Steven says sadly. "I don't know why you hang out with me! I'm so much more... less interesting than you! And obviously you have some sort of magical destiny. *saddened* Why would you even care about something like Dogcopter?"Connie says "Why?! Because it's Dogcopter! He's a dog, and a helicopter, and a cop! He shoots missiles out of his butt, and he's gonna save the world! *throws up his hands up in excitement* Dogcopter is very cool and important... to me."Steven says

"Connie me and Steven might be magical and some exciting life adventures but in the end, we are still people, we find joy in things like movies and games and sometimes a good book, cuz deep down not even magic can stop us from being bored, we still need friends, and you Connie are a good friend."Speedy says as he pats her head gently. "really, even if I'm normal?"Connie asks "yes!"Steven says happily. The car behind Connie explodes as a fireball hits it

"It's the robot shooty thing! How are we supposed to beat it? Lion, what do we do?"Steven asks Lion's eyes and mane begin to glow white. He leans down and the hilt of a sword with Rose Quartz's symbol sticks out of his forehead. grabs the hilt and begins to pull it out of Lion's head. "Uh... this is weird, right? *Steven fully pulls the sword out and holds it above his head.* You have a sword in your head?! Why don't you tell me you can do these things you do?!"Steven asks The robot begins to move again and gets through the portal Speedy watched he felt that Lion knows Steven can use the sword to beat the robot so he dropped his rocks and watched just in case.

"It came through!"Connie shouts The robot continues glowing in various colors and starts rapidly firing projectiles of different elements, destroying the area. Speedy pulls out his tennies racket and swats some orbs away from the Ticket booth lady. "Sorry about that, murder boots don't think about their surroundings."Speedy says "It-ts ok."The lady said as she lower herself behind the booth. The robot continues to fire at various things, causing a sign from the movie theater to fall right in front of Steven, Connie, and Lion.

"What do I do with this?!"Steven asks as he was holding the sword in fear. Connie who was watching Speedy had an idea. "Watch out!"Connie says as she quickly grabs the hilt of the sword and helps Steven to deflect an incoming electric ball back at the robot. Steven and Connie exchange happy looks, as the robot begins to aim towards them again. guides Steven with the sword in their hands. "Forehand!"Connie says deflects another electric ball. "Backhand!"Connie says and they deflects an ice ball. "Overhead... death strike!"Connie and Steven shout as they bring their sword up and parry a fireball. They then launch the fireball back at the robot and into its cannon. The robot starts glowing red and making whirring and clanging noises, and explodes. "Just like tennis practice."Connie says awestrucked. "Magical destiny practice"Steven says as he was also awestricken. "Practice."Speedy says as he puts his tennis racket away. The ticket booth lady slowly peeks out from hiding and sees Steven, Connie, and Lion standing in front of the ticket booth while Speedy was looking at the damaged area. "Hi!"Steven says

The ticket booth lady briefly scans the fight scene and smiles awkwardly. "Uh, hello."She said. "Two kids, one adult and one lion, to see Dogcopter 3."Steven say nicely as Lion snorts on the glass of the ticket booth, causing it to fog up briefly. The lady looks at Lion and then back at Steven and Connie. "Um, do you have a rewards card?"She asked "I do, also I promise to fix this mess after the movie."Speedy says as he hands her the reward card.

On the cinema screen, Dogcopter is eating out of a bowl and a beeping sound can be heard coming from inside the building. Dogcopter looks up and flies out of the building, where an explosion occurs seconds later. Off-screen, Steven and Connie are wearing 3D glasses and watching the movie in awe. Steven is eating cheese puffs and Connie is drinking a soda and Speedy was feeding some popcorn to Lion. "Whoa! Was that in the book?"steven ask lowly "Eh, they're taking some liberties."Connie replied.

An star iris, parodying M.G.M. films, zooms in on Lion wearing 3D glasses too. Lion growls softly as the episode ends. Or so you thought The Star iris reopens but this time Where metal was at.

Metal was in his control room watching a recording of the day Steven had just had. Small tiny nanobots with built in cameras were watching the group and the movie screen. "aͣs iͥf I woͦuͧldͩ paͣy tͭoͦ waͣtͭcͨhͪ aͣ mͫoͦvͮiͥeͤ."Metal says as he was eating some popcorn covered in Chocolate. Then the Star iris closes again just as Dogcoptor shoots a missile out his butt and towards the screen.
