## Plot

* *[The episode opens to the Galaxy Warp]*

Star Sapphire: (jumps on a warp pad) Inactive!

Diamond: (jumps on a warp pad) Inactive.

Citrine: (jumps on a warp pad) Inactive. (sighs) Like always....

Ruby: We're safe once more.

Sapphire: Don't you guys ever get tired of Earth? It can be so boring sometimes.

Pyromorphite: Not really, its pretty neat.

Ki: I agree, I find humanity...interesting.

Onyx: (jumps on a warp pad) Inactive.

Emerald: (jumps on a warp pad) Inactive!

Ruby: Okay, everything's the way it should be, let's go.

* *[All Gems except Citrine walk toward a warp pad]*

Star Sapphire: Citrine, you coming?

Citrine: (sighs and rolls eyes) Fine.

* *[The Gems warp away, and cuts to a scene in the Crystal Palace]*

Ruby: We need to think of a new strategy.

Emerald: Yeah. (looks inside fridge)

Sapphire: A lot of these Kindergarten Gems have been showing up lately, do you they could be...active again?

Ruby: No, its impossible, we shut those down a long time ago.

Onyx: And by a long time you mean millennia, right?

Ruby: Yes, it seems like it was just yesterday.

Citrine: Not for me.

Star Sapphire: What?

Citrine: You know what.

Star Sapphire: What do I know?

Citrine: Ugh! (walks outside)

Star Sapphire: My god, what is wrong with her? She snaps at me every day, brat.

Sapphire: Don't call people names, even if they are total buttholes, its the wrong thing to do.

Star Sapphire: That's fair.

Ruby: I think she needs some moral support, how about you guys come and show some of your morality?

* *[Everyone moans, and all except Sapphire goes into their rooms]*

Sapphire: Good luck. (walks into her room)

Ruby: Can't they ever have some empathy?

* *[Ruby walks outside, cuts to a scene at The Crab Shack]*

Waitress: You may be seated. (gives Pyromorphite, Onyx, and Emerald menus) Here are your menus, we cater mostly crabs, but also a large selection of seafood. Have a good dinner, hope you enjoy! (walks away)

Onyx: (sits down) I love crabs.

Emerald: (sits down) You mean crustaceans.

Onyx: Yeah, whatever. Its just that, a long time ago, when I had my old body-

Emerald: Crustaceans are a very large group of arthropods, usually treated as a subphylum, which includes such familiar animals as crabs, lobsters, crayfish, shrimp, krill and barnacles.

Onyx: Anyways, like I was saying-

Pyromorphite: (sits down, looks at menu) This is an abomination! How can humans feed on such innocent creatures!

Onyx: (looks at menu) Just forget it.

Emerald: Forget what?

Onyx: Sometimes, I wish you guys would pay more attention to me. I have my own problems, too....

Emerald: Get over it.

Pyromorphite: Yeah, we don't really care about your...past.

Onyx: But-

Emerald: Excuse me, we're ready to order.

* *[Waitress walks over]*

Waitress: What you boys like?

Emerald: A diet soda, and crab legs.

Pyromorphite: Sea urchins.

Waitress: Alright. (writes on notepad) And what about you?

Onyx: I'm not hungry.

Waitress: Okay, we'll have your food out as soon as possible.

* *[She walks away]*

Emerald: (looks outisde, and sees Citrine walking) Hey, what's *she* doing out this late at night?

Pyromorphite: Maybe she's wandering again?

Onyx: *Again*?

Emerald: I better go get her.

* *[Emerald gets up out of his seat]*

Pyromorphite: Don't forget we're splitting the check.

* *[Cuts to scene of Emerald running towards Citrine]*

Emerald: Hey! Wait up!

* *[Emerald catches up to Citrine]*

Citrine: (mumbling) Not again....

Emerald: Citrine, explain why you're out this late? You know better than that.

Citrine: You sound exactly like Ruby.

Emerald: Ruby is only trying to protect you, just like the rest of us.

Citrine: Can't you just ever...leave me alone?

Emerald: No, we're going home, *now*. (grabs Citrine's arm, and starts to drag her)

Citrine: Let go of me! (summons her weapon)

Emerald: Don't act like a little baby.

Citrine: (slashes Emerald's eye with a shuriken, knocking him down, while breaking free from his grip, and runs away)

Emerald: (gets up, and rubs eye) Maybe she was right....
