The group after walking for a few minutes had found a small stream that began a pond, full of plants like water lilies on its surface, and some animals. Garnet stayed on the shore while the other three of the group went into the pond, mostly Steven and Spinel since Peridot was quite nervous "What's that?" The green gem asks observing a frog on a waterlily.

"It's a frog" Steven sentences simply, Spinel on the other hand grabs the frog in her hands.

"It's sticky" The pink gem exclaims surprisingly lively, and while Peridot tried to get away from the animal, Spinel decided to approach it to her "Come on, don't worry so much and enjoy" Spinel says with a small smile towards the green gem, which was staring at the animal. Before the frog jumped on Peridot's face.

"..." The greenish gem remains silent while the frog was still attached to its visor.

"I think she likes you," Steven adds with a tender smile, while Spinel kept touching the frog with one of her fingers.

"Ahhhhhh!" Peridot suddenly shouts, trying to get the frog out of her face, but in the attempt she falls into the small pond, while the frog goes to other water lilies. Spinel and Steven rushed to help Peridot, who was a little upset and now soaked.

"Hey, relax Peridot let's play a little in the water" Spinel exclaims trying to calm the green gem, which moves her away quite dubiously, so once again the hybrid and the pink gem tried to approach Peridot, who was running tripping over the pond chased by the duo, who didn't have those problems, because Spinel carried Steven while using her stretched legs as stilts.

"Stop bothering me! Why do they do this?" Peridot asks suddenly confronting Spinel and trying to throw her away, with surprising success, so the three of them fell into the muddy part of the pond, getting muddy of almost the entire body.

"Because Spinel wants you to be her friend" Steven exclaims wiping a little of the mud in his face to catch Peridot and Spinel in a hug, but Peridot for her part tries to get away when Spinel starts to surround them as she stretches.

"I'm not interested in being friends with any of you! I just want to survive and come home as soon as possible." The green gem sentences seriously.

"But why? You are also stranded here, for now it is better to be friends" Spinel exclaims with some discomfort, mixed in part with sadness "Surely there is something on Earth that you like, we must have fun along the way" Spinel mentions trying to form a smile on Peridot's face using her fingers, but the green gem returns a grimace. "Look, I can do that too." Spinel exclaims transforming her face into a very similar one to Peridot and making funny sounds.

Garnet remained waiting, for now neither Spinel nor Peridot had resorted to blows, but there was always a possibility that this would happen, although the fusion had Steven to stop the possible altercations between the gems. Suddenly the human came up with an idea "Don't you like Camp Pining Hearts, Peridot?" Steven asks excitedly as the green gem protests against the mocking of Spinel and how she imitates her.

"Oh yes, that human series" Spinel exclaims with surprise "You stayed glued to the screen" Spinel adds transforming her face into a screen and standing in front of Peridot, who tries to move the duo away again with a small blush.

"How insolent! How do you think something as crude as human culture could interest me? ... I only analyze those recordings to get reports, particularly I think that Percy and Pierre are the best team" Peridot states with pride, Spinel for her part, she did not understand much the green gem's comment, since she focused rather on her transformation contest with Amethyst and on lulling Steven than on watching television with Peridot.

"It's only been two seasons and she's already talking about ships ... You know Percy ends with Paulette, right?" Steven sentences a little dismayed, but suddenly Peridot is offended.

"That team is crap!" Peridot complains.

"What is a ship?" Spinel asks in dismay, to which Steven would try to explain if it weren't because Peridot's fingers start to hit him softly.

"Retract your comment" Peridot orders with annoyance, while Steven laughed at the blows of Peridot's small prosthetic limbs. Spinel still didn't understand much of what was happening, but an idea came up.

"Peridot, do you want to do camping activities?" Spinel asks the green gem, which suddenly turned its interest to the pink gem, but Peridot only came a murmur that none of the duo could hear clearly "... What?" Spinel asks accompanied by Steven, the green gem lets you hear another annoying murmur in response. On the face of the pink gem a smile widened, and extending his face to Peridot, Spinel again asked mockingly "What?"

"Yes!" Peridot finally sentences, swallowing a part of her pride that makes Spinel laugh.

"Camp!" Steven exclaims with joy. The trio soon leaves the mud, although before performing what Peridot wanted they should wait for Steven to dry in the sun.

*******

Spinel didn't understand much about what Steven or Peridot talked about, she didn't understand the purpose either, but she liked spending time with Steven and stay a little better with Peridot while they were building a "camping tent" as Peridot described it, it was a kind of shelter made with stacked branches and leaves "And do you sleep in this?" Spinel asks making sure she understands what a camping tent was.

"Yep, well. Not like the ones you buy but it works like one, people sleep in them when they are outdoors" Steven explains with joy, Peridot for her part was very busy, reviewed every detail of the structure that could hold all three, although it did not seem very resistant.

"After this we can try some other activity, for now try to get in here" Peridot proudly sentences for her work, Steven was the first to enter, then followed by Spinel and finally Peridot. Although it was a little tight, Steven sticks his head out the entrance.

"Hello Garnet! "Steven greeted from a distance, being watched by the fusion who sent him a small smile back.

"Yes, it worked!" Peridot exclaims animatedly, but then she sees Spinel about to take out a small branch that stood out "Don't you dare" Peridot sentences quickly, to which Spinel laughs a few moments, moving her hand away from the branch.

"You had fun?" Spinel asks, approaching Peridot as she could, the greenish gem snorted trying to avoid eye contact, she actually had a small smile.

"Now we can try something else" Peridot exclaims quickly leaving the camping tent pushing Steven from the entrance, after her the hybrid and the pink gem came out, who watched as Peridot tried to climb a tree with difficulty, simply using her limbs even if she could fly

"Should we help her?" Steven asks a little worried, but Spinel downplays the matter.

"Let's not harm her ego and her fun. Believe me, Pink didn't like it" Spinel sentences simply, but then she grabs Steven and stretches her legs, placing herself on the branches above the tree where Peridot was trying to climb "You can do it Peridot ! " Spinel and Steven exclaimed morally supporting the green gem, which looked at them from below with some discomfort.

"Yes ... it wasn't necessary for you to say so" Peridot defends herself quickly, but she just kept slipping from the tree "Your elastic powers don't count!" Peridot sentence, to which Spinel leaves Steven on the branch and jumps down, to simply get back on the rebound.

"Now I don't stretch! Did that count?" Spinel exclaims with mockery, to which Peridot was frustrated. From the bounce Spinel and Steven noticed the other guests on that branch, a nest with a group of chicks. To whom Spinel approached interested "Steven, look"
chicks

"They are baby birds! Well, Pearl says they are chicks but I think a baby bird is the same" Steven exclaims surprised and excited, while Peridot tried to climb to see the small animals.

******

Making a fire was not easy for any of the group, but with Garnet's help they made a small fire when it was almost dusk, although Peridot didn't like to depend on the permafusion, she sat with some emotion next to the fire, before Steven and Spinel will start singing "Why do you do that? It's annoying after the first time" Peridot sentence dismayed.

"Sing?" Spinel asks simply.

"It's fun, do you want to try?" Steven exclaims with emotion.

"But what is the purpose of singing?" Peridot questions his friends, who respond with more songs "... No purpose?" The green gem questions stunned, for a few moments she swallows her own tongue but then begins to hum along with the duo's melody. It would be hard for Peridot to understand why everyone on Earth seemed to have a fondness for singing, but she could find out later.

While Peridot was not yet encouraged to sing, fireflies and the bright eyes of other small creatures began to appear to the surprise of the group. Peridot tried to escape from the fireflies that swirled around, while Spinel tried to catch as many as she could between her fingers "Are they gems?" Spinel asks curiously.

"I know that they shine but it is not for the same reasons" Steven explains while several fireflies perch on him "In fact I do not know why the fireflies shine" Steven adds curiously, meanwhile he had to prevent Spinel from trying to eat the fireflies that she captured

Garnet just watched the show, but suddenly I noticed a too bright glow after the group "Beware!" The fusion shouts quickly trying to get the group out of there, but the light was already on them, it was a luminescent being with a gem in its chest, resembling a golden jellyfish but with trumpets like a kind of ears. Suddenly a gigantic sound came out of the gem's ears, Garnet plugged the ears of the hybrid while a blinking light plugged the entire place.

Steven rose barely conscious to see how the gem was taking some unconscious Ruby and Sapphire, while Spinel and Peridot were in a semi-conscious state like the hybrid "Garnet!" Steven calls worried while trying to get up and run, but he felt heavy, in fact his skin was too pale. Instead Spinel got up to grab the hybrid and the green gem, running to the barn.

******

Spinel opened the barn with a kick, knocking down the doors and surprising Pearl and Amethyst, the first one worked in the drill and the second looked, but they both turned to Spinel's sudden movement "They did something to Steven!" Spinel exclaims worried "Ah, they also did something to Peridot, and kidnapped Garnet" Spinel reports more calmly after a worried Pearl ran to investigate the hybrid.

The other two Crystal Gems almost fell right there.
