"Steven's Birthday"
I can't believe it's finally my birthday!
You're sure it's okay we're taking a break from the drill?
Peridot will keep us on schedule.
Yo, Peri, you sure you don't want to get in on this?
We should celebrate our progress.
We should celebrate your progress.
- You've grown a lot this year. - He certainly has.
Yeah. Yeah, I guess so!
- Steven! - Connie!
- Happy birthday! - Thanks! Welcome to the party.
May I offer you a refreshment?
Oh, Steven, how gentile.
Clink!
So, this is the barn. I'm surprised your parents
are letting you stay for the weekend.
It wasn't easy.
They only let me come after equipping me
with every piece of safety gear on the planet.
What should I do with this defibrillator?
Um, we can just leave it in the car for now.
Well, I'm glad you could make it.
- Me too. - All right, move it, Connie!
I was his best friend first. Happy birthday!
Okay, shtuball.
- Let me get a look at you. - Dad!
Sorry, I just can't believe my little boy's growing up so quickly.
Seems like just yesterday you were a baby,
and now you're turning 14 years old.
- Steven, you're 14? - Yeah?
But I'm only 123/4! You're older than me?
- I-I don't believe it! - Well, sure. Check it out.
Let's see ... we have infant, baby.
Toddler ... what's it called ... adolescent.
Adolescent, adolescent, adolescent.
Whoa, looks like you stagnated there a little bit, buddy.
Mr. Universe, could I show you how the defibrillator works?
Oh, uh, sure. Be right back, kiddo.
- So, he's not going to grow up? - Well, it's hard to say.
He's a Gem, and Gems don't really grow up.
I mean, I've known the Gems since I was 22,
and they never change. They just are what they are.
But Steven's not like the other Gems ... he's half human.
So I'm not really sure how he's gonna age.
- We're just gonna have to wait and see. - Yes, right.
- Are you okay? - Yeah, yeah.
- Human beings? - Human beings.
Hey, birthday man, whatcha doin'?
I want to hang up this banner, so ...
Dude, it'd be easier if you just stretch on up here.
Ha! How's that?
- Oh, yeah. - Come on, what's the verdict?
I can't hold this forever.
- Uh, looks great. - There's my B-day guy!
- Uh, what's up, Dad? - We're almost ready to start.
Got your birthday cape and crown ready, too.
Here, put 'em on and go wait in the barn.
Okay, now sit tight. You're gonna love this.
Okay, Steven, open up!
Surpri...
- Wow. - Oh, my.
Huh?
Hm, hm, hm.
Steven, are you feeling okay?
Huh. You look good, Steven.
Oh... thanks, Garnet.
- Dude, your neck! - Oh, uh, what about it?
You have one!
So... you just grew all of a sudden?
I had a magical growth spurt just now.
- Cool, right? - Oh, right. It's totally cool!
All right, then. Let's get this party started.
Yeah! Let's eat this cookie cake!
- Here, Steven. - Wow, thanks.
Oh, you don't have to untie that. It's just a box
made to look like I spent a lot of time wrapping it.
Ohhh, a new shirt!
- What a pretty color. - Try it on.
Oh, I guess it doesn't fit since...
No, don't worry ... it fits fine just like this.
Here it comes!
I got it, Pearl!
- Pearl: Nice, Connie. - Ye-ah!
If you hit it, you get it.
No worries. I'll grab it!
- Hm... - Connie, let me. Hm!
- Oh, cool. Thanks, Steven. - Hm! No problem, Connie.
Yo, bring back that shuttlecock!
Huh?
Oh, no!
Whew!
Ugh!
This one goes out to the birthday boy, and his best friend.
I still can't believe all this time you were older than me.
You should sneak me into a PG-13 movie sometime.
Oh, yeah. Heh... heh, heh...
No, I'm just kidding.
I would never ask you to break the law.
It's funny that I have to look up at you now, though.
- Funny good or f-funny bad? - Funny good.
- Aw, Steven's having fun. - We know how to throw a party.
Excuse me for a moment, Connie.
I'm gonna go... freshen up. Be right back.
Oh, geez! If I can just keep this up
for the rest of my life, no one will suspect a th...
- What are you doing? - Wha... Wha... well, what are...
- you doing? - What are you doing to your body?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, have you been stretching
- yourself out all day? - No, I was just... slouching.
Why are you doing this? It really isn't like you.
Because, Dad, I can't stay a kid forever.
When Connie grows up and becomes president,
what is that gonna make me, first boy?
Steven, you can't just keep stretching forever.
If you hold it too long, you could really hurt yourself.
Yeah, well, I'm half human,
so maybe it works different for me.
- We'll just have to wait and see, right? - Steven...
That one's canis helicopterus.
- Uh, uh, helicopterus? - Yeah, Dogcopter! Get it?
- Now you make one up. - Mm... okay, um...
That one's, uh... snake constellation.
That's pretty good. Are you okay?
It looks like you're gonna throw up.
- Oh, yeah. E-Everything's fine. - Okay, that's good.
You know, to be honest, I-I was a little worried before.
This might sound silly, but I'm really glad
that I'm going to get to grow up with you.
Steven?
Steven, what's going on? What happened?
What?
Uh...
We were just talking, then all of a sudden ...
He turned back into a baby?
- Yes! - Dude, I told you!
Stretching your body out for that long is not good for you.
- Here you go, Pearl. - Oh, no, no, don't give him to me.
- Hand him over, Amethyst. - Here you go.
Meh, meh, meh, blah!
Uh...
My power means nothing to an infant.
Okay, this is my department.
- What are you gonna do? - Don't worry, I got this.
How can the Gems not know what to do?
You think they knew the first thing about raising a baby?
That was all me, but I don't get it.
Driving always used to calm him down.
- But how do we change him back? - I don't know.
Look, Connie, let me take you home.
I-I'll call you when this all gets sorted out.
W-Wait, no. I want to stay.
- Are you sure? - Yeah.
I just want to be there for Steven. Don't worry, Steven.
It doesn't matter to me what age it seems like you are.
I want to hang out with you no matter what.
Your dad still has to run his car wash, and the Gems have
to do gem stuff, so I'll watch you when they're not around.
I can come see you after I'm done training with Pearl, too!
Doesn't that sound fun?
Look at that ... he finally stopped crying.
Well, that's a start.
- Ahem! - What's up, Amethyst?
Baby Steven needs changing.
Oh, my gosh. Ohhh, my gosh!
Did he get even smaller? Steven's microscopic!
He's reverted back to a zygote! Everyone, Steven is ...
Look, it fits now.
You're back to normal!
Sorry this was a disaster. I wanted to look older for you.
- That doesn't matter. - I heard what you said in the van.
It's really okay if I don't age like a human?
Of course it is! I like you just the way you are.
Oh, okay!
Uh, Steven, you've got something on your cheek.
Huh?
It's a facial hair!
- Really? - Dad!
- What is it, little man? - Look at this!
Holy smokes, you're growing a beard!
You really are getting older!
- Everybody, look at this! - Unbelievable.
- Very impressive. - Is there more where that came from?
