Peridot Arc: Part 2

(Time has past after the Order's last encounter with Peridot. She's has not shown up again after they attack her at the old Homeworld ship. But everyone keeps up their search, ready for when she shows her face again)

(Inside the home of Steven Universe, it is night time and he prepares to go to bed. He hops in bed)

Steven: Goodnight, Happy Bear. Goodnight, Sad Bunny. Goodnight, Playful Kitty. Goodnight, Ominous Triangle at the foot of my bed.

(Steven closes his eyes. When he opens them again, the Ominous Triangle has disappeared.)

Steven: Ugh, whatever. (closes eyes and smiles)

(Peridot's hand closes over Steven's mouth.)

Steven: (muffled screaming, struggling)

(Peridot warps into the Galaxy Warp carrying a struggling Steven.)

Steven: Aargh, let me go! *screams*

Peridot: Enough of this!

(Peridot holds Steven with her tractor beam and hovers him over the Gem Homeworld Warp Pad.)

Peridot: (sigh)

Steven: What do you want from me?

Peridot: (walking towards Homeworld Warp Pad) I want, to get off this lousy gem-forsaken planet!!

Steven: Huh?

(Peridot disables her tractor beam and Steven falls to the ground.)

Peridot: (She shapes her disembodied fingers into an arrow and points it at the warp pad they're stepping on.) You have to fix this!

Steven: Wait, what?

Peridot: You're my last chance. I've got no Flask Robonoids. I've got no foot! I've got no response from Yellow Diamond! (breathes in and out)

Peridot: I know you fixed Lazuli's gem. Whatever you did, you've got to do it to the Homeworld Warp!

(Peridot charges her energy blaster.)

Peridot: Or else!!

Steven: Oh- oh- okay, just give me a second! My mouth gets really dry when I'm scared. (licks left palm) Here goes! (palm hits Warp Pad with a wet smack sound, but nothing happens)

Peridot: (looks around, confused) What was that?! It didn't do ANYTHING!

Steven: (hesitantly) It... doesn't always work.

Peridot: No... (shaking head, showing exasperation) No no no no no! It HAS TO WORK!

Steven: I'm really sorry...

Peridot: (laughs, sits down, curls arms around legs, looks up plaintively) This was it... This was my last shot! (breathes in sharply) I'm gonna die here! Noooooh, oh-

Steven: Hey, hey- come on! Earth isn't that bad...

Peridot: It doesn't matter what Earth is like! It's not going to be like anything soon!

Steven: What do you mean?
