Oh, no! MC Bear Bear, you've got a tear tear!
I should have been more careful.
We've lost too many good bears.
Don't worry. You're hurt, but I'll look after you.
Mwah!
- Guys? Guys? - What's up, little Ste-cup?
We were just about to put away the dishes.
Look what I can do!
All right! It's a Ste-party!
What is the meaning of this?
My healing spit is back!
I fixed a rip on MC Bear Bear! Here, I'll show!
Fine, fine, I believe you!
I don't want you touching a broken plate.
- I'll find a broom. - I'll find some other stuff to break!
No, Amethyst!
Now that my healing spit is back...
- maybe I could finally... - No.
What? But I didn't even ask anything yet.
With my future vision, I can see you're going to ask
if you could use your power
to heal one of the monsters in the bubble room.
Can you see if I'll get you to change your mind?
Mmm?
- Why did you agree to this? - I lost a battle of will.
Here it is!
Gotcha!
- Is that... - It's Centipeetle.
If I can help any of them, I want to help her first.
Don't forget these!
Chaaaps! They're her favorite.
Okay. You guys ready?
Come on, dude, do your thing!
Be careful!
Is it working?
It worked!
Uh, Steven...
Centi, you're back!
Whoa!
What's the matter? Don't you want some Chaaaps?
I don't think she remembers them.
Forget the Chaaaps. You remember me, don't you?
I have a bad feeling this didn't work how I wanted it to work.
Hmm. Possibly not.
Oh! Don't go closer!
Maybe she just needs a little extra love!
Mwah!
Uh, oops!
Hmm. This is the best we've ever seen it work.
But it didn't work.
I guess it'll take more than a kiss
to heal damage from the diamonds.
But why? My healing powers are back!
I-I should be able to do this!
It's all right, Steven.
Remember, she's not cracked, she's corrupted ...
and that's something different,
something nearly impossible to describe!
It's sort of like if MC Bear Bear
didn't tear the fabric of his arm,
but the fabric of his mind.
Sounds pretty explained to me!
Hmm.
Steven, I'm impressed with your ability
to bring the Centipeetle this far,
but it's time to let her rest again.
Amethyst...
Uh... Sure.
I'll poof her.
But she's not a monster anymore!
Here.
You don't have to watch.
No, please!
She can walk, and talk ... just like you guys!
See?
I helped her this much, maybe I can help her more!
I have to try. I made a promise!
Pleeeeeease!
What are we going to do with her?
Let her move in?
Aw, yeah! Corrupted roommate!
Oh, Amethyst, be sensitive!
She can even stay in my room!
Uh, we're... really doing this?
She can stay unbubbled.
But you have to understand, some gems are beyond our help.
Okay, Centi ... Oh, I guess that's not really your name.
What is your name?
Gurgle click-click?
Oh, right. Can't talk, huh?
You really don't remember me?
You don't remember saving me from that seagull,
or our adventure in the ice caves,
or when I electrocuted you with...
Uh, actually, do forget that one.
You even forgot Chaaaps.
I love chips.
Do...
Do you remember me singing the Chaaaps jingle?
Your memories are still in there!
I just have to draw them out!
Ooh, I know how we can talk, even if your voice is messed up!
See, this is an Earth crayon!
I-I bet you gems are used to super-advanced
space crayons, but we make do.
Look! Ste... ven.
That's me! Can you do that?
Ahh, Steven, you're a genius!
Okay, maybe not.
That's all right. I have another plan!
We'll just talk through the language of art!
What are you adding?
You remember, we were buds!
Yeahhh!
Do you remember anything from before y...
I ... I mean, from long ago?
Hmm.
It's you in ... some kind of spaceship?
Is that how you came to Earth?
What are you drawing now?
Huh. They look kind of like you.
Was that your crew?
Awhk!
You were a captain?
That's so cool!
I'm sorry, that's so cool, sir!
Oh, yeah, you guys don't salute like that.
You go like...
Mm. Ow, ow!
Oh, this looked so easy when Peridot did it.
Yeah! Like that!
Awhk!
It's you...
saluting...
You're saluting someone...
Your commander?
She gave you an order...
You ... and your crew...
and your ship...
Whoa ... lots of ships.
You flew through space towards Earth.
You landed and started building stuff!
But then...
the gem war.
You joined the fight...
You and your crew kept going.
You got separated. But you were still fighting.
Then new orders from your commander...
to retreat.
Everyone's running, but from what?
You don't know.
Where's your crew? Where's your ship?
You stopped. You heard something?
From the sky, a sound ... a song?
And then...
Centi?
That light, where did that come from?
Damage from the diamonds.
Are you okay?
You're reverting.
Here, I'll heal you again!
Why isn't it working?
How can I help you?
I don't understand!
Awhk!
It's not working 'cause you're corrupted.
Where do you want to go?
Uh, the battlefield? Your ship?
Is there something on the ship that can help you?
Just hold on!
I'll get you there!
Awhk!
Hey! Wait for Steven!
Oh, no!
Where are you trying to get to?
You want in the door!
Steven Universe, at your service-erse!
We're in! What now?
Other Centipeetles?
Hey, now! This is my style!
Ha!
Can I hang with you, dudes?
Amethyst, don't make fun!
I'm not! Ugh!
You guys were right after all.
I couldn't help Centipeetle.
You brought the Centipeetle back to her ship.
You brought her back to her crew.
They've been waiting here for her.
They didn't want to leave her behind.
Wait, how did you know any of that?
She told us.
Her drawings?
Her writing.
It's actually decently legible!
Wow!
You look so happy here.
Can we let the Centipeetles stay?
You can put those puppy dog eyes away, Steven.
This ship is their bubble now.
Pearl! Pearl, Pearl!
Will you teach me to write in gem?
Oh, Steven, it's very complicated.
And you won't have much use for it.
Oh, just a few things, like, "Hi, how are you?
Where's the bathroom?"
And... "I'm sorry."
