Thank you everyone who helped to fully fund this project! It was a new experience for me getting funding this way. In Steven Universe: The Complete Collection, the short is titled "What Are the Crystal Gems?".DONE AND DONE! Added one final easter egg to the end with added growth.
A montage of scenes from the series plays in the background and the Gems are silhouetted. Steven then follows the Gems running along the beach. The Crystal Gems show off their gems Garnet, Pearl and Amethyst's gems all glow but Steven's gem doesn't. We see brief scenes of Steven's first day living with the Gems: Pearl, who is singing about the Gems' decision to protect the Earth, leaves Steven's clothes out to dry on the Crystal Temple's hand Garnet and Pearl wash the dishes while Amethyst eats a sandwich and part of the dish and Greg reads a bedtime story to Steven. She and the other Gems welcome Steven (who is now in his adolescence) into his new home. Sometime later, Garnet puts up the picture of Rose Quartz in the house. A time-lapse of the Beach House being constructed is shown. Everybody likes the song and they hug Steven.
Steven is nervous about playing his song to the Crystal Gems, but with some encouragement from them, he plays his song, " We Are the Crystal Gems". He asks Steven if he wants to play the song he wrote. Pearl asks Greg about Steven's instrument, with Greg telling the Gems that Steven is quickly learning the ukulele and that he's excited to live with them. She then swallows the bottle whole before she is joined by Garnet. Amethyst squeezes the bottle tightly, blasting water all over her face. Greg hands Pearl a bottle of water, complimenting her work Pearl is briefly confused by the bottle and hands it to Amethyst who is right behind her. Greg walks in exhausted, remarking that building a house isn't easy and asks Steven how he's doing with the ukulele. The short begins with a toddler Steven practicing his ukulele skills. Steven starts his life with the Crystal Gems in this extended version of the opening theme.
