That afternoon, Steven checks on Lapis and Peridot, who are outside on the Beach. Lapis is lying on a folding chair, seemingly bored. Peridot is on the ground next to her, excitedly building a sand castle.
''Just a little touch here. And here…'' Peridot calculates as she expertly carves the sand.
''Perfect! Hey Steven! What do you think?'' She proudly shows Steven her sand castle.
''It's a… sand castle?'' Steven replies, rubbing his head.
''Is that what you call sand constructs? Sand ''castles''? Anyhow, as you can see, the design of this model fort provides the most efficient display of defense. While this may be a mere sculpture, just imagine architecture like this on a grander scale! Truly impenetrable!'' Peridot explains, taking great pride in her work.
''Hey have you guys seen Pearl anywhere? I haven't seen her since this morning.'' Steven asks.
Lapis shrugs.
''Is the Pearl still behaving erratically?'' Asks Peridot, disappointed.
''Well i wouldn't call it ''erratically''.'' Replies Steven defensively.
''Whatever you call it, it does remind me of one particular moment in episode nineteen of season three of Camp Pining Hearts. But that's irrelevant. I th-'' Peridot explains before being cut off.
''That's it! Peridot; what happens in the episode?'' Steven asks excitedly.
''It would take some time to explain, but I'll skip the details…'' Peridot begins to explain.
Despite saying that she'll skip the details, the short green Gem goes quite in depth with her explanation of the episode. So much so, that it takes a whole 3 hours before she's finished. By the time she is, Lapis has already left and Steven is lying on the sand, sleeping as a result of boredom.
''-and that is when Paulette and Percy meet inside the camp's mess hall and talk abou-'' Peridot continues, and is cut off.
Steven hears this part just as he wakes up and gets an idea.
''THAT'S IT!'' He raises his voice, startling Peridot.
'What's ''it''?'' She curiously asks.
