And Your Reward Is Edible: Greg gives Amethyst a bag of popcorn for playing the drums in the song, which she happily scarfs.Rose definitely took it the latter way, and uncomfortably asserts she is not a real person (she apparently just considers "person" a synonym for "human", not a more inclusive term). Ambiguous Syntax: When Greg asks Rose to "talk to for one second, like a real person", he may have meant "like a real person" ( because he felt she didn't respect him) or "like a real person" (because he found her behavior extremely alienating).As the two of them high five over being human beings, Steven echoes them, his hand clutching at the gem in his belly, the only thing he has to connect him to his mother besides Greg's memories. As the flashback ends, Greg offers to Connie that anytime she needs to come talk to him about human being stuff in relation to Gem stuff, she can. Pearl says, sadly, that she thinks Greg is Rose's favorite as well. Amethyst comments that she thinks Greg is her favorite of Rose's dalliances. Ultimately, they come to the conclusion that being confused by it all is the one thing they have in common, and break into a joyful, relieved dance.īehind the rocks a short distance away, Pearl expresses bewilderment that they're dancing despite the fusion not working. Since neither of them is sure what to do, they begin by asking and answering questions. Greg asks how they're going to make it all work, and that they might possibly have rushed into things without knowing much about each other. Greg tells her that being in love with her is torture. Rose has an idea that it's just all supposed to be fun.

They have an awkward conversation about how things are supposed to work with them.

Rose is shaken by his laughter and tears. Greg is upset and freaked out by the realization that he's in love with a genuine alien. Greg is frustrated and upset, and demands she talk to him like a real person. Rose is amused that he was attempting it and giggles. But to his great dismay, they dip and have one heck of a kiss, but no fusion occurs. Taking this advice to heart, Greg sets up a dance floor on the beach, and puts on some dance music for them to slow dance together. But that in order to succeed, he can't dance like Pearl. Garnet distracts Amethyst with a stick and tells Greg she believes he can fuse. Amethyst and Garnet arrive, the former excited about seeing themselves in the video. Later, on the beach, Greg has replayed the video and started trying to replicate Pearl's moves, ineffectively. He asks if it's never been tried, and she can't answer with any certainty. Greg asks if humans can fuse with Gems and Pearl smugly tells him it's not possible. When Greg demands to know what makes Pearl so sure, she says it's because he can't fuse, because he's not a Gem. Pearl smugly says that Greg is only a brief distraction for Rose, that will soon be over. Greg is left behind, curious about what fusion is. Garnet departs too, and little Amethyst is engrossed in opening the "payment" for playing the drums - pop rock candy. Rose explains that was Rainbow Quartz, the fusion of Rose and Pearl, done because Pearl thought it would add something to the video.
