sync & correction by f1nc0 ~ addic7ed.com ~

Hmm. This spot should be safe.

Amethyst, do you have the robonoid?!

Yeah. Don't worry about it.

Amethyst! I just repaired that!

Yeah, yeah. It's fine.

Ugh! Okay.

We have everything we need for the experiment.

And Steven is home, fast asle-e-e-e-ep!

- Hey, guys! - Steven!

It's way past your bedtime! You should really go

- back to the house. - What?

I don't want to miss... whatever this is.

- What is this? - Pearl got lonely,

so she made herself a robot friend.

It's not a robot friend ... it's a robot disruptor!

It should produce a localized

energy blast. So when Peridot shows up to...

neet with us, we'll have something that can knock out

all her robonoids. Now, stand back, everyone!

We did it!

Well, you knocked out

- all the lights in town. - Steven, that was not

the point of the ... All right. That was a start!

Now I'm going to need to take some parts out of

the washing machine. Steven, you might have to wear

- the same shirt for a while. - No problem.

Hmm.

Hmph.

What's wrong with the microwav... Ow!

What is the meaning of this?!

Huh?

- Mayor Dewey? - Hello, there, young Universe.

- Any of your... sisters home? - My sisters?

Your caretakers, you know ... the tall one, the purple one,

the hot one?

Look, the power's out, and I've been

mayor long enough to know they had something to do with it.

My sisters?

Is there anyone else I can talk to about this?

- Pearl! - Coming!

- Oh! Uh, can I help you? - Yes.

Oh, hi! Uh, Beach City is currently

experiencing a widespread power outage.

Oh, don't worry about that.

The power should be back on as early as tonight or

- as late as... never. - Never coming back?!

- Yes? - No, no, no!

It has to come back! The people of Beach City can't

handle a situation like this! They need their electronic

distractions so they won't notice that this town

- is a magnet for disaster! - Oh, don't be dramatic.

I saw humans get on fine without power for millennia.

You used to hunt and gather.

What happened to that?

You don't understand. Sure, things seem calm now, in

the light of the day, but when the sun goes down, so does...

- the town. - He's right.

Mayor Dewey, this is our responsibility.

We'll help you clean up this mess!

No, we won't!

- I'll help you clean up this mess! - Okay.

But you're not getting paid.

? Mayor Dewey ?

- Mayor ... - All right.

We got to go do damage control now, or the boardies

- are gonna get restless. - Boardies?

Hello, youth resident of Beach City.

- Is everything all right? - You mean besides the power

knocking out the freezers and melting

- all this ice cream! - What?! Ice cream?!

It's a real pain in the ... Ugh!

I'd offer you some, but it's pretty soupy.

Is this happening to ice cream all over town?!

- This really is a crisis! - Now let's all calm down here.

- I have everything under control. - You do?

Of course! The power will be back,

and the freezers will be working by sundown.

No need to cry over, uh, frozen milk.

Here. I'll catch you kids on the side

that flips! You take care now.

- See you later! - Thanks for the glowstick!

So, everything is going to be okay?!

- What? No! - Y-You lied to them?

Look, Steven, it's not lying when you're the mayor.

- It's politics. - It is?

Of course it is. Let me tell you something.

When you work for the government, you can't control

what happens in the world, but you can control

how people feel about it. That's the real weight I carry ...

making the good people of Beach City feel better,

- safer, more secure. - But ...

What's my other option ... let the people panic and riot?

That didn't work out so well for Ocean Town!

I've never heard of Ocean Town.

Exactly! That's why you've got to give

the people something to believe in.

When they see my giant head on this car, rolling down

the boardwalk, they think, "here comes help."

Well, some people think, "here comes that exterminator guy,"

but then they realize it's me, their mayor!

Have you seen that exterminator truck with the head on it?

- He's totally copying me. - Uh...

- Here. Take these. - Mayor Dewey

What's going on?

Attention, my good citizens!

As you may or may not be aware of,

there is a power outage affecting all of Beach City

- area proper. - Oh. Really?

This problem is just a temporary one, not a big

worry at all! Things could be worse!

We could be in... Ocean Town!

- Too soon! - Anyway, the power will be

back on by sundown, so, in the meantime, just enjoy this

beautiful, peaceful day outside.

The power will be back on before you know it. I promise!

- Ohh! - I trust this man!

Okay. Make sure everyone gets

a button and a glowstick.

Have a glowstick. Here you go.

- Uh, here. - Hey, Schtu-ball.

You get some sort of secret government internship

- I need to know about? - Here.

Apparently, you can never have too many

Mayor Dewey buttons. Sounds like I'm not gonna be

needing this glowstick, though. See you later, buddy!

But, Dad!

Nooooo.

So what if she shows up with more?

- I say we just mash 'em all! - It's not just

the robonoids. According to Lapis, she's going

- to have backup. - Who knows what she's

going to have? We won't stand a chance against

their weapons, but if we can just knock them out ...

It's not about the robonoids, Pearl.

- She's coming with other gems! - Says who?!

Who cares?! What does Lapis even know?!

- Calm down, Amethyst. - You calm down-uh... Hey!

Look who it is! It's Steven!

Our ... Our best friend Steven! What are you doing here, buddy?

I... live here. Is everything okay?

- Of... course! - In fact, we were just

- about to play... cards. - Yes, cards!

Want to play war?

- I mean... peace? - Yeah, but how are we

- gonna play cards in the dark? - We can light a fire

- in the fireplace. - Yes! Like early man!

Come on, early man!

When the sun goes down, so does...

The town.

- Oh, my gosh! - How come there's still no power?!

You said it would be on by sundown!

Everyone just calm down. I'm sure if we just talk

rationally, we can come to an agreement.

No agreement! You promised us!

Without power, I can't take care of my family!

Well, this one's fine. But he can't take care of himself!

I'm sure the power will be on

- tomorrow, I think... maybe. - Stop pulling our legs!

You lied to us, and you're lying again!

Please!

Good citizens of Beach City ... Ow!

- Liar! - You're a liar!

- If you'd all just calm down ... - Tip the truck!

Whoo-hoo!

Everyone, please!

The power might not be back on tonight. It might not be back on

- for even a year! - A year?

- What? - But I know that wou're

all going to be okay because I know each and every

one of you. You're smart and you're tough and you're

resourceful, and you all care about each other more

than you care about microwave dinners or video games or being

able to see in the dark. I know it'll hurt your

businesses. I know it'll hurt your lives.

But are we really going to hurt each other?

Of course not!

We'll face the night together, and we'll survive, because we

- are the light of Beach City! - Yeah!

- Whoo-hoo! - Uh, yes.

Thank you, Steven! I couldn't have said it better!

Don't try to worm your way out of this!

- Oh, no, no! - It's okay! It's okay!

Mayor Dewey was hiding things from you, but he did it because

he didn't want you to worry. He was just sheltering you from

the truth because he ... he loves you.

Mayor Dewey!

Oh, hey, Steven. If I can just concentrate

- the wave a little more... - Um... do you guys want to talk?

And why would we need

- to do that? - Hey, Steven, you still

- owe us a game of cards! - Yeah, get in on this.

N-No! I don't want to play cards!

- I want to talk about Peridot! - Oh, yes!

- Well, everything is fine! - No, it's not!

I know it's not. I know you ... you just don't

want me to be scared, but just tell me the truth.

Peridot is coming, and we don't know who or what

she'll be coming with. She's a modern gem with modern

gem technology that's bound to overpower us.

Steven, the truth is... we're scared.

We've been scared before, right?

None of us know what's going to happen, but that's okay.

We can figure things out... together.
