[Steven is almost confused for a second. Almost. But then that idea sinks in in a very serious way, and he goes from desperately worried to actually enthralled in the space of ten seconds. Even though his face is still wet with tears.]

...Oh my gosh...we totally could! You could do anything here!

[lightspeeddistraction]

Totally! We can reach for the stars and become them ourselves!

[No, Greg, that isn't what he meant--]

[tigermillionaire]

No, dad, really!

[THIS PART IS COOL OKAY.]

You can learn to do magic here!

[lightspeeddistraction]

Yoooouuuuu lost me, kiddo.

[tigermillionaire]

Everybody can! They call it bending, and everyone can do it if they learn! You like...can make anything, if you're good enough! And it's the only way that anybody has any powers here!

[lightspeeddistraction]

Oof...I dunno, son. Your old man can't bend like he used to...not since that summer in 83.

[tigermillionaire]

Not that kind of bending, dad!

[Steven laughs, and for what it's worth, he sounds a lot happier than he did a couple of minutes ago. He sits up on Greg's belly, smiling.]

It's like...bending reality! Like making stuff happen with your mind!

[lightspeeddistraction]

Iiiiiii'm not sure how comfortable I am with that kinda stuff, Steven.

Your old man's been around. Anything that can make you warp reality with your mind sounds like bad news bears.

[tigermillionaire]

[Okay, now it's Steven's turn to be confused.]

Huhh...what?

[lightspeeddistraction]

Nevermind, I think I'll leave the magic stuff to you, son.

But I'll be there! That's a plus, right?

[tigermillionaire]

[Steven kind of wants to argue with him - come on, it'll be fun! - but he doesn't. He figures he'll let his dad settle in a bit first. So instead he just sighs in relief.]

Yeah! I...I really missed you.

[He flops down again.]

I can't bend yet, either. Until I do, I can't use any of my other gem poewrs, either - but I'm not very good at it.

I did...kind of turn into a plant monster, though.

[lightspeeddistraction]

A plant monster?!

How?! Why?! Is this because you can't use your powers or something??

[tigermillionaire]

No...I think it was mostly unrelated.

Weird stuff just kind of happens here sometimes? They call them storms. It's just like all this random magic stuff happens all at once until it goes away!

You know...how the gem monsters used to be like people, right?

[lightspeeddistraction]

And this sorta stuff just happens?

Randomly??

Hooooh man. Alright. I am officially kind of completely unprepared for any of this.

Next you're going to tell me that giant robots are running around.

[tigermillionaire]

[UMMM...how to say this...]

His name's...Ultra Magnus...?

[lightspeeddistraction]

[GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN]

[tigermillionaire]

Well, actually he's a tiny robot that lives inside of a bigger robot!

[He says this like it somehow makes it better.]

I mean...not really tiny. He's still taller than me! [FORCED LAUGH] And he lives with a bunch of other robots in some kind of spaceship tower.

[lightspeeddistraction]

Steven...please...

I can only take so much...! This is like a magic bomb overload!

[tigermillionaire]

I know, I'm sorry!

[He sinks down, frowning.]

I'm just worried, cause stuff might just happen, and I don't want it to surprise you. It's not a bad place, really! The people are really nice, and it's not really that bad having more than one kind of aliens around, is it?

[lightspeeddistraction]

Well...I mean...

...Robots are pretty cool...

[tigermillionaire]

They're so cool. The robots are people just like us and the gems, and Ultra Magnus is a really great guy.

[He leans down, conspiratorially:] And don't tell, but I think him and Pearl were [WHISPER] dating.

[lightspeeddistraction]

Whaaaaaaaaat??

Does Pearl even know what that means? Cuz...I gotta tell ya, I can't picture it.

[tigermillionaire]

I didn't think so either!! But there were so nice to each other and Pearl was so excited...

They got in a fight and Pearl took it really hard.

[UNBEARABLY TRAGIC.]

[lightspeeddistraction]

Aw man...is she alright?

I guess breakups are rough no matter what planet you're from.

[tigermillionaire]

I...I think so.

I don't really know anything about dating, especially dating robots, but I hope they can make up. They both really love each other still.
