100 days until final report.

It's a foggy evening in Ocean Town. The town is eerily empty today, and even repairs on the boardwalk have ceased due to the weather. The fog seems to choke the town, making it lifeless and grim. The fog combined with the rolling storm clouds overhead create a sense of dread, like the whole town is holding its breath, waiting from some thing big.

Connie arrives on the beach, Steven greets her, smiling.

"Look what I got," she smiles, she takes out an old video player from her backpack, "we can see what's on that tape now."

Steven grips the tape. He remembers that it is from Rose.

"Can I watch it alone?" Steven asks, "this is from a very bad gem named Rose Quartz, who led a rebellion that I think the Crystal Gems were part of. I don't know what's on here, it could be anything."

"Steven," Connie reminds, "you don't have to do everything alone. Let me watch it with you. If there's some thing bad on this tape, viewing it alone would be a bad idea."

"Trust me," Steven replies, "you don't even want to know about the horrible things Rose did. Besides, the gems are home, I can't watch it anyways. Well, I could, but I'd need a distraction."

"I still have more questions about gems," Connie replies, "I'll distract them with that, you watch the tape."

"Sounds like a plan," Steven smiles, "thanks Connie."

"Don't mention it," Connie smiles, "as I said, I'm always here for you."

Steven and Connie head to Steven's house. Steven introduces Connie to the gems, and heads inside while Connie distracts them.

Steven connects the old video player and watches the tape. The tape opens on a beach, a fat man sleeps on the beach, with a seagull on his stomach.

"Looks like Greg made a friend," a voice chuckles.

Steven assumes this voice to be Rose. He ignores her, and focuses on the man. He looks oddly familiar. Steven feels that he's seen him before.

The video cuts and continues at a different point. The sky is now red.

"Greg," the voice explains, "I gotta go."

"OK," Greg replies, "I'll be quick. Steven, I know what's gonna happen when you're born. When you're born, your mother... won't be around anymore, but hey, don't worry. You'll have the coolest dad on this side of the cosmos!"

The person holding the camera turns it around. Steven immediately recognizes her from a photo in Lion's Mane.

"Rose," he growls under his breath.

"Steven," Rose looks into the camera, "I don't have much time. I can't let that Red Eye see me, but know, when you're born, I will die, but know, that I'll always be with you. Whenever you love yourself, that's me, loving you, and loving being you. I have to go Steven, and remember, you're never alone."

The screen goes to static. Steven ejects the tape. He looks at it. Rose is his mom. He looks outside, at the gems and Connie talking, his friends and family. He looks back at the tape. He thinks about what'd he'd lose if they knew...

Steven breaks the tape...

End of season two.
