Steven knocks on the front door of the barn.
"Turquoise! Peridot! Lapis! I'm here! Did you forget your favourite Steven was coming over to spend the night?" Steven announces
There is no answer from inside. Steven looks around and spots an alien mask ornament, with antlers on top and a rope hanging out of it, at the side of the barn.
"Aha! A door knocky thing! Eh!" Steven says to himself
Steven pulls on the rope, and the whole ornament falls apart. He then turns around and sees a corn field in front of the barn.
"Hey, that looks new." Steven begins to walk through the corn field while holding the alien mask and antler horn.
"Peridot, Lapis! I-I'm sorry I broke your door thingy! I wanted to fix it, but I don't know how it goes together! Makes a pretty neat mask, though." Steven sees more rows of crops ahead."Wow! Did I just die and go to the back of a cereal box?"
Steven steps forward when sprinkler systems start up at his side. He screams in surprise, which catches Lapis' attention, who is activating the sprinkler systems with her water abilities.
"Hi, Steven!" Lapis stops the sprinkler systems and flies over
"Steven!" Peridot is seen riding by on a tractor in the background."I'm on a tractor!"
"Did I spray you by accident?" Lapis asks
"Just a little." Steven shakes his head around to shrug off the water."Where's Turquoise?"
Turquoise walks out of the corn field with a bunch of tools hoisted over his shoulder
"Steven, you're early," Turquoise says as he drops the tools and brushes his hands together
"Haha. I'm so glad you could make it." Lapis smiles
"Steven! How do you like our little-" Peridot starts as the tractor stops, causing Peridot to jolt a bit. "Ough! Experiment?"
"It's amazing. What made you want to start farming stuff all of a sudden?" Steven asks
"I have all the skills required for growing Gems. I figured, why not try growing something else?" Peridot jumps off of the tractor."Who knows? Maybe they're ready right now!"
Peridot pulls an ear of corn off a corn stalk.
"Hello, corn." Peridot waits for a response."Maybe she can't hear me in there?" Peridot examines the corn."I MADE YOU IN MY IMAGE, YOU WILL DO AS I SAY!"
"Hmm, perhaps it's still too early?" Turquoise shrugs
"Wait, you didn't think the corn was gonna walk right out of the ground when you told it to, did you? That's not how vegetables work." Steven chuckles
Turquoise, Peridot, and Lapis look at Steven in disappointment.
"It's not? Well, then, what's the point of corn?" Peridot throws the corn on the ground in frustration."I have to admit, I've really been starting to miss the pitter-patter of full-sized Gem soldiers..."
Turquoise kneels down and looks at the dropped corn
"It does get pretty quiet around here..." Turquoise says as Lapis nods
"Come on, Turquoise. Let's go disassemble the tractor." Peridot begins to walk towards the tractor
"Lapis, you coming?" Turquoise asks, standing up
"Yeah..."
Turquoise, lapis, and Peridot leave sorrowfully to disassemble the tractor.
"All they wanted to do was make a living vegetable... Wait! I know how to do that! Garnet says not to lick stuff I find on the ground, but this is for a good cause." Steven says to himself
