Pearl: *walks to the barn* Steven, are you ready to go?

Steven: Uh, wait for this one sentence.

[TV: *howling noises* Arf!]

Steven & Peridot: *gasp*

Pearl: I... I don't understand.

Steven: It's okay Pearl, I'm ready to go.

Pearl: Good. Tonight we need to mark every single position of the stars, there could be something big happening.

Steven: We're going stargazing?!

Pearl: I guess you could call it that.

Steven: Yay! Lemme go pack my stuff! *starts to sprint*

[When they arrive at the Temple]

Steven: Amethyst!

Amethyst: Yo, dude.

Steven: Guess what?

Amethyst: You made me a tissue paper sandwich?

Steven: No, but we're going stargazing!

Amethyst: What?

Steven: Stargazing!

Amethyst: Oh. Tell me if you can find any tissue sandwiches.

Steven: Ok! *bumps into Garnet* Oof!

Garnet: Hello, Steven.

Steven: We're going staaaaar-gazing!

Garnet: Tonight.

Steven: Yeah! It's seven in the afternoon right now, so you better get ready! I'm going to go get my telescope!

Garnet: And I'll go get my binoculars. *ruffles Steven's hair*

Steven: Yaaay! *runs off to find telescope* Aha! Here it is! Wait, I'm still missing something... *gets Cheeseburger Backpack* I'm still missing something...*remembers something* Oh wait! *runs down stairs into kitchen, makes some tissue paper sandwiches with tinfoil fillings and stuffs them in backpack* I'm ready!

Pearl: Good, because it's already eight o'clock and we should be outside.

Steven: Woot! *runs outside to the cliff*

Garnet: Careful!

Steven: I am! *sits near the edge*

Amethyst: *shapeshifts into a cheetah and runs toward Steven*

Steven: Wow! Look! A shooting star!

Garnet: Make a wish, Steven.

Steven: I wish that... Crying Breakfast Friends, season one, episode five shows on channel six in five minutes!

Amethyst: Isn't that the one where they cry about crying?

Steven: Yeah! It's really good!

Amethyst: But... Isn't channel six for boring business stuff?

Steven: Exactly! I'm going to make a boring business channel better!

Amethyst: Ahh, I see.

Steven: Hey, I made some snacks.

Amethyst: Eh, ok.

Steven: And the snacks are..... tissue sandwiches!

Amethyst: *gasps* Give me all of them!!!!!!!

Steven: One at a time.

Pearl: *sets up Steven's telescope* Steven, Amethyst, can you go call Red Pearl?

Amethyst: Why?

Pearl: We're going to be looking at Homeworld tonight and she might want to see it.

Amethyst: *shrug* Ok. C'mon Steven.

Steven & Amethyst: *walk to Red Pearl's shack and knock on her door*

Red Pearl: *opens door* What may I help you with?

Steven: Stargazing!

Red Pearl: Stargazing?

Amethyst: Pearl said that we're going to be looking at Homeworld tonight, so... uh, if you'd like to see it.

Red Pearl: Of course!

[The trio walk back to the cliff]

Pearl: See, Garnet, those stars weren't where they were last time. Mark that on the chart.

Garnet: Ok.

Pearl: Oh good, you brought Red Pearl.

Red Pearl: I'm here to see Homeworld, nothing else.

Pearl: Straight to it, then!

Steven: Waait! Five minutes have passed! I have to go check the TV!

Garnet: Done. *hauls TV up the hill, keeping it charged with her electrokinesis*

Steven: Yay! It's already preset to channel six.

[''TV: And the stock rates are higher than usua-Crying Breakfast Friends! Waaaah!'']

Steven: *gasp* It worked!

Amethyst: Cool! *munches on a tissue sandwich*

Pearl: Quick, Garnet, there's something wrong with Homeworld!

Garnet: I-It looks normal... But... I have a feeling it's rotting from the inside!

Pearl: Me too! I'm extremely worried...

Red Pearl: Wait, let me see.

Garnet: Here... *moves so Red Pearl can look through the telescope*

Red Pearl: You're right. It looks completely fine. But... I still feel like it's... sick somehow.

Pearl: I bet it's just because we're tired and have a case of extreme paranoia.
