The Big Donut

 * [Steven is walking towards the Big Donut]
 * Steven: Ah, what a nice day to get a donut.
 * [He enters the Big Donut]
 * Sadie: Oh! Hey Steven!
 * Steven: Oh, hi Sadie! I thought Dewey ran the Big Donut now?
 * Sadie: I decided to come back for a few days, I was missing my job.
 * Steven: Oh, that's cool.
 * Sadie: So? What do you want?
 * Steven: I notice a new one's on the board. Hm.. [reads it out] "Sporty Glazed Donuts - sponsored by the olympians of the Great Cartoon Championships, A.K.A GCC" What's the Great Cartoon Championships?
 * Sadie: Oh, it's just some silly event that's happening.
 * Steven: I'm interested, tell me more!
 * Sadie: Well, okay. The GCC is- [she is interrupted by Buck coming in]
 * Buck: Hey, Sadie.
 * Sadie: Oh, um, hey, Buck. Want a donut?
 * Buck: Sure. I'd like a Sporty Glazed Donut please.
 * Sadie: Oh! Going to the GCC?
 * Buck: Yeah. I'm so excited. It only happens once every twenty years. I can't wait to see the Nickolympians compete. If only I could actually take part in the tournament.
 * Steven: [thinking] What is this tournament everybody's talking about? It sounds intriguing.
 * Buck: [takes his donut] Thank you.
 * Sadie: No problem. Have a nice time at the tournament this Friday!
 * Buck: Thank you Sadie. Bye. [leaves the Big Donut]
 * Steven: [leaves the Big Donut]

What Are These Flyers?

 * [Steven is at home]
 * Steven: Hey guys, I'm back!
 * Amethyst: Hey dude, what's up?
 * Steven: Do any of you guys know about the tournament?
 * Pearl: No, why is there?
 * Steven: I looked at the board in The Big Donut and it says "Sporty Glazed Donuts - sponsored by the olympians of the Great Cartoon Championships, A.K.A GCC". Then Buck mentioned something about Nickolympians competing, I mean I had no idea what he's talking about.
 * Pearl: What do you make of it Garnet?
 * Garnet: Well... I think they're talking about the massive tournament that I've been going to for years. Here, look at this. [hands Steven the flyer]
 * Steven: These are the flyers I've been seeing all around town for a few days now. I have no idea what they say, it makes no sense.
 * Garnet: They do once you put a little thought into them.
 * Steven: Huh? What does thought have to do with any of it?
 * Garnet: Steven, what's the first letter you see on the flyer?
 * Steven: Uh... G?
 * Garnet: Second?
 * Steven: S?
 * Garnet: Third?
 * Steven: V?
 * Garnet: Now, I'll be back in a second...
 * [A few minutes later, Garnet comes back with an Atbash decoder]
 * Steven: What's that?
 * Garnet: It's an Atbash decoder.
 * Steven: What's Atbash?
 * Garnet: It's a type of code. Take A, then write under Z, take B, than write under Y, take C, than write under X, and so on, so on, so on.
 * Steven: Ah. [decodes the message on the flyer, decoded it reads: "THE GREAT CARTOON CHAMPIONSHIPS ARE TAKING PLACE THIS FRIDAY - FOR THE FIRST TIME IN TWENTY YEARS! BE THERE! MEET OTHER CARTOON CHARACTERS! COMPETE TO BE THE BEST!"
 * Amethyst: That sounds cool!
 * Steven: Yeah!
 * Garnet: These flyers disappear tomorrow.
 * Steven: Why?
 * Garnet: Because they're not just flyers. They're actually invitations!
 * Steven: Does that mean... we're invited?
 * Garnet: Well, I guess so.
 * Steven: AWESOME!!!

Meeting Lapis, Peridot and Bismuth

 * [At Little Homeschool]
 * Bismuth: Right... 98% on the Construction installment.
 * Peridot: That's awesome! Almost complete.
 * Lapis Lazuli: We're making real progress. I'm proud.
 * Bismuth: And we won't stop any time soon.
 * Steven: Hey guys! Have you seen these flyers?
 * Bismuth: Flyers? Flyers for what?
 * Steven: [hands Bismuth a flyer]
 * Bismuth: Oh yes! I've always wanted to go to one of these.
 * Steven: Well, here's your chance! Don't waste it.
 * Bismuth: Ha! Why would I?
 * Peridot: [snatches flyer] Lemme see...
 * Bismuth: [angry] Peridot!
 * Peridot: Wow! I've always wanted to go into one of these, but nobody would let me because I was so scary. Now that I'm not scary anymore, they better let me in.
 * Lapis Lazuli: What are those?
 * Steven: They're invitations to the Great Cartoon Championships!
 * Peridot: Hey, Lapis, how come you've never been to one of those?
 * Lapis Lazuli: [gasps] [sad]
 * Peridot: What?
 * Lapis Lazuli: [flies away in tears]
 * Peridot: Why's she so dramatic? I was just asking her a question.
 * Steven: Don't you remember? She couldn't've gone to the tournament because she was stuck in the mirror!
 * Peridot: Oh no! I'm so sorry for bringing that up...
 * Steven: It's fine. Let's go cheer her up, shall we?
 * Peridot: Okay, let's go.

Cheer Up, Lapis

 * [Somewhere in the forest, Lapis Lazuli was crying because she's been trapped in the mirror]
 * Lapis Lazuli: Why is it always me?
 * [Steven, Peridot and Bismuth fly over]
 * Steven: Lapis? Are you okay?
 * Lapis Lazuli: No... I get really sad whenever somebody brings it up.
 * Peridot: I'm so sorry. I forgot.
 * Bismuth: Yeah.
 * Steven: We're here for you. All the time.
 * Lapis Lazuli: But what if it happens again one day?
 * Steven: It won't. We promise. Right, guys?
 * Peridot: [nods]
 * Bismuth: [nods]
 * Lapis Lazuli: Well... uh, okay. I guess those times of despair and pain are over.

There's Gonna Be A Tournament, And Everyone's Invited!!

 * [Steven is skipping rocks by the river]
 * Steven: Ah, it's so nice to get a little bit of relaxation before the tournament.
 * Lapis Lazuli: Mm-hm.
 * Peridot: Do you think it's gonna be just me, you, Lapis, Bismuth, Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl?
 * Jasper: [off-screen] Heck no!
 * [Jasper appears out of a giant vortex, with Spinel on her shoulder]
 * Spinel: Hey guys!
 * Steven: Hey Spinel! Hey Jasper! So you want to come to the tournament with us?
 * Jasper: Yeah. Guess what, it's not just us who wants to go to the tournament, it's a bunch of different cartoons from all around the world!
 * Steven: So, I can see my friends, like K.O.?
 * Jasper: Much more than that. A yellow guy name SpongeBob is coming!
 * Spinel: Yeah! I can't believe it! He was the winner last time!
 * Steven: Hold up, guys, who is SpongeBob?
 * Jasper: He's the star of a show called Spongebob Squarepants!!
 * Steven: I never heard of him before.
 * Spinel: He's playing as a Nickolympian!
 * Steven: Huh... I heard Buck talk about Nickolympians at the Big Donut... what exactly are Nickolympians?
 * Jasper: Nickolympians are contestants of the tournament that are from the cartoon channel, Nickelodeon.
 * Steven: There's more than one cartoon channel? Heck, I thought CN was the only one!
 * Jasper: Oh, no. There's a whole bunch of them! Wait 'till you meet the characters from shows on Nick Jr.!
 * Steven: Wow! This tournament really does seem like a bunch of fun.
 * Jasper: To watch, yes, to take part in, well, that's where the difficulty comes in. Competing with other cartoon characters also means competing with giant monsters.
 * Steven: Eh, I'll probably... uh... just watch then. Where exactly is this tournament taking place?
 * Jasper: It's taking place in New Sanfranyorkyo.
 * Steven: I never heard of that place before.
 * Jasper: You can't take the vortex there, it's too far away for that.
 * Steven: Then how do we get there?
 * Jasper: We have to take the plane from Empire City Airport.
 * Steven: I'm so excited for this tournament, I can't just talk about it... I could SING about it!
 * Steven: [singing] At the Big Donut on a casual day, doin' my casual stuff, in my casual way, I find a new donut on the board, but I'd never seen that one before...
 * Peridot: [singing] Sporty Glazed Donuts, that's the name, and after that things just weren't the same, because the news started to drip that there would be a championship!

 * Mr. Hasashi: Unfortunately, I can't go to the tournament, because I have to run the bar.
 * Peridot: It's not like anyone's going to be going there that day.
 * Mr. Hasashi: That's why I'm sad. Nobody's gonna come, and I'm gonna make no money. Oh, and also, I won't be able to go to the tournament I've been awaiting for twenty years.

 * K.O.: So you're saying he can't hear?
 * Sebastian: He can hear, but one ear....
 * Kabuki: He was given an ear piece to hear without both.
 * Xiang Li: [signing]
 * Callie: [interpreting Xiang Li] Correct, but loud noises makes it hurt. I do not like that at all. Anyway, I am Xiang Li, it's a pleasure to meet you all....

 * Bloo: Nice to meet you other freaks....
 * Irving: Pardon us?
 * Deborah: Yeah, pardon us?
 * Zach: Now that's not nice, buddy....
 * Callie: What's up with Bloo?
 * K.O.: He's really annoying, we had to put him in this barrier so he can't escape.
 * Lucy: At least he won't even cause trouble around here.....
 * Kody: He's really given all of us a headache....
 * Kabuki: Too bad for him..... so anyway, where are you guys going?
 * Maia: We're going to the GCC in New Sanfranyorkyo!
 * Kabuki: Really? Us too!
 * Xiang Li: [signing]
 * Callie: [interpreting Xiang Li] I'm excited too!
 * Amy: So am I!

 * Annie: Hey, look! There's Kabuki with Maia, K.O., and the rest!
 * Steven: Oh hey, look! It's Gena, Otto, Annie and Ms. Akiyama!
 * [The rest of the gang walk to the security check]
 * Kabuki: Mom, we met our newer friends....

 * K.O.: This is Sonic the Hedgehog with his friends Tails, Amy, and Knuckles. I remember meeting Sonic and Tails before, He saved me from Lord Boxman when I was turn into a robot.
 * Sonic: That's right!
 * Bloo: Ahem, what about us?!
 * Mac: Shut up! [laughs] Sorry about that, I'm Mac and this is Bloo.
 * Annie: Why is he in a cage?
 * Kody: He push Steven out of the limo! Oh man you should've seen what he just did, he drove the limo madly and was about to destroy this limo once and for all! But thanks to us we stopped him and the limo is save unfortunately it's ruined and we won't be able to make, until Sonic along with the others shows up and help us get to the airport. And as for Bloo, we decided to put him in the jar, that way he won't bother us again.
 * Edna: [looks at Bloo bitterly] You should be ashamed of yourself, young man....
 * Bloo: Aw... [looks down sadly]
 * Gena: Anyway, this is our new hermanito, Lucas!
 * Lapis Lazulli: He's so adorable....
 * Lucy: Hi Lucas....
 * Steven: Hi, I'm Steven Universe. Welcome to the club!
 * Tails: Hello!
 * Knuckles: Pretty cool name.
 * Maia: He looks so cute! Hello, Lucas....
 * Shaggy Rogers: What's up, little dude?
 * Scooby-Doo: Hey, Lucas.
 * Lucas: The doggie talks!
 * Kabuki: That's right, he's the world's famous Great Dane in the universe.
 * Otto: His name is Scooby-Doo.
 * Sonic: Hey, Lucas, you wanna see something cool? [runs super fast around the airport]
 * Edna: Wha-?
 * Callie: He's so fast!
 * Lucas: [clapping] Again, again!
 * Edna: No, no... I think we've had enough running around for the day...
 * Steven: How did you get Lucas to stay up so late? It's 1:45 in the morning...
 * Edna: We fed him something he can't resist, candy, to give him energy.
 * Steven:  Ah.
 * K.O.: Shouldn't we be going through security as well?
 * Steven: Oh yeah! You're right.
 * [At the security check]
 * Otto: It's time to go through the security check.
 * Peridot: What's a security check?
 * Steven: It's a device to check if you have anything dangerous or deadly that you want to bring on the plane.
 * K.O.: That sounds scary...
 * Enid: Oh, it's not a big deal.
 * Pearl: You guys will have to tell us a lot about this "plane" since we're Gems, and we don't know much about human stuff.
 * Bismuth: Yep.
 * Lapis Lazuli: Mm-hm.
 * Xiang Li: [signing]
 * Callie: [interpreting Xiang Li] You don't need to worry, we'll teach you all the way.
 * Steven: Xiang-Li's right. We'll help you.
 * Pearl: Thanks.
 * K.O.: No problem. It's time to go into the security check.
 * Radicles: [goes into the security check] Everything's good. I got no weapons.
 * Amethyst: [goes into the security check] Me too.
 * Enid: [goes into the security check] Me three.
 * [Jasper goes into the security check, and it beeps]
 * Jasper: Uh oh...
 * Lucas: Big woman! [screams like a girl]
 * Jasper: There there, little buddy.... [places hand on Lucas' shoulder]
 * Annie: Sorry, Jasper. Lucas can be a little... dramatic and petrified.
 * K.O.: Anyway, what did you have that made it beep.
 * Maia: I think it was this note written on her back. It says: "JASPER IS SUCKISH, BLOO RULES".
 * Kabuki: That idiot Bloo must've written that with a metal pen while we weren't looking.
 * Steven: Don't worry, I can remove it easily. [gets as tissue from a tissue dispenser and wipes the note off]
 * Jasper: Thanks a lot, Steven. As for you, Bloo...
 * Bloo: What? I only-
 * Jasper: [stuffs Bloo into her suitcase]
 * Bloo: Ugh...
 * [After everyone had gone into the security check with no problems]
 * K.O.: Man I'm really getting sick and tired of that blue freak harassing us like crazy.
 * Steven: Hey, tell me about it, that little trouble maker really likes to mess with us like crazy. But don't worry, he's stuck in that barrier which is inside the suitcase. So I doubt he'll annoy us....
 * Jasper: Mm-hm.
 * Otto: Now, when are we gonna get on this plane?
 * Edna: Not yet, Otto.
 * K.O.: We have to put our luggage on the conveyor belt so they can see if anything that is dangerous is in the luggage.
 * [At the luggage conveyor belt]
 * Steven: Are you guys ready to put your stuff on the conveyor belt?
 * Everyone: Yes!
 * Steven: Nice.
 * Mac: Alright, let's put our things on the belt.
 * Kabuki: Lucas, do you have your toy with you?
 * Lucas: Yes...?
 * Kabuki: I've got my bag....
 * Amy: I got mine....
 * Tails: And I got mine....
 * Xiang Li: [signing to Amy and Tails]
 * Callie: [interpreting Xiang Li] I have mine, as well...
 * Radicles: And mine too....
 * [When they're finished checking their luggage with no problem]
 * Enid: Alright. I guess all we have to do now is wait for our flight.
 * Knuckles: Yep, waiting on the flight.....
 * Jasper: I can't wait. I've never been on a flight before.
 * Enid: It's pretty cool.
 * Peridot: Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, I can't wait!
 * [After half an hour of waiting]
 * Woman: [through microphone, off-screen] First-class members can now "enter the dragon".
 * Kody: What's the "dragon"?
 * Steven: I heard that they call the planes to New Sanfranyorkyo "dragons".
 * Maia: Huh. Cool.
 * Bloo: Now it's time to go into the stupid dragon or whatever.
 * Edna: What did you say, young man?
 * Bloo: Uh... er... nothing!

The Dragon Performance/Bloo's Revenge

 * [When Steven and the gang arrive on the plane]
 * Steven: Wow! These first-class seats are SWEET!
 * K.O.: Let's sit down!
 * Peridot: Yay! Yay!
 * Xiang Li: [sees Peridot excited and looks at the others signing]
 * Callie: [interpreting] Steven, your friend here is very excited. I never saw her going crazy before.
 * Steven: Yeah, she's so hyped about that place.
 * Bismuth: Occasionally, she's always hyped on most exciting plans we do.
 * Callie: Always a hyped person....
 * Amy: Sonic, what do you think the performance will be like?
 * Sonic: Um, what performance?
 * Spinel: Here's one thing I do remember that Steven told me, whenever you get on the dragon, they do a dragon fire show before the plane takes off.
 * Edna: I hope you guys help yourselves get some popcorn.
 * Gena: Got it!
 * Kody: Same here!
 * [When the performers of the fire show come]
 * Maia: Look, it's starting!
 * Conor: Shh... shh... shh...
 * Lucy: Shhhhhh.....
 * [The fire show starts, as the performers bring out sticks with fire on the tip and starts flinging them in the air and catching them while doing other tricks with them]
 * Tails: I'm not sure about this... isn't this... like... dangerous?
 * Steven: Don't worry, Tails, these guys are trained professionals.
 * Bloo: [bangs on suitcase, trying to escape to ruin the fire show and escapes]
 * Steven: He's escape! Grabbed him!
 * [Steven and the others tackled Bloo and locks him in the suitcase]
 * K.O.: We've got you now, Bloo!
 * Bloo: Ugh...
 * Knuckles: Face it, dude. You're literally a blue blob. You're no Lord Boxman when it comes to trapping you.
 * Otto: More like Botman....
 * Lucas: Dragons are awesome!
 * Callie: Of course, Lucas.
 * Kabuki: Woah! This is incredible!!
 * Connie: They're so cool!
 * Ben: Do you think I should join in?
 * Maia: Um, I'm not sure, it might be too dangerous.
 * Sonic: Well, do you think I can join in?
 * Steven: Guys, let's just keep things easy for now.
 * K.O.: Sounds good.
 * Enid: I hear ya Steven.
 * Radicles: Look! The dragon is coming!
 * [A dragon bursts into the scene]
 * Jasper: I could imagine that's a real dragon!
 * Amethyst: That's because it is!
 * Knuckles: Really? That's awesome!
 * Amy Rose: Right! Cool, isn't it?
 * Kabuki: Yup!
 * Callie: It's huge, also!
 * Otto: My gosh, you guys are right, it's ginormous!
 * Jasper: Not to mention that this thing is bigger than me.
 * K.O.: Oh, Jasper, you're not that big...
 * Maia: I've never seen a mythical creature like that before!
 * Sonic: Wait, I'm not a mythical creature?
 * Gena: Well... uh...
 * Dendy: Aren't the Gems mythical creatures?
 * Peridot: HECK YES! WE'RE MYTHICAL, OF COURSE!
 * Xiang Li: [signing]
 * Callie: [interpreting Xiang Li] It's SUPER big!!
 * Bloo: Can't the plane just fly already?!
 * K.O.: No, Bloo, be patient!
 * Maia: Yeah, you better be quiet or else!
 * Bloo: Or else what?
 * Kody: I'll knock the heck outta you!
 * Steven: Kody's right, so shut your mouth!
 * Spinel: Yeah, don't make it worse!
 * Bloo: [sighs]
 * Peridot: Now be quiet!
 * K.O.: Mm-hm!
 * Jasper: Now, let's just continue watching the dragon show.
 * Knuckles: Uh oh...
 * Enid: What is it?
 * Radicles: It's over... [points to the suitcase jumping which Bloo was doing it]
 * Amethyst: Bloo, you idiot, you held us up!
 * Bloo: OH YEAH?! [escapes the suitcase]
 * Steven: Hey, where do you think you're going?!
 * Bloo: Back to CN City, of course! [runs into the cockpit]
 * Terry: Um, sir, can you go back to your seat?
 * Bloo: HECK NO!
 * Steven: [runs over] Hey, what are you doing Bl- Terry? What are you doing here?
 * Terry: Oh, hey, kid!
 * Steven: Didn't you say that you had to stay back at the store?
 * Terry: Oh, my boss made an exception for today. Uh.....
 * Steven: You're looking at this jerk? He's Bloo, he can't help but be a big nuisance.
 * Bloo: SHUT IT! [about to take the control wheel]
 * Steven:  [takes Bloo and pins him down] THAT'S IT! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! FOR THIS ENTIRE TRIP, YOU'VE DONE NOTHING BUT HARASS EVERYONE! NOW, IS ANYONE HERE A COP?!
 * [Silence for two seconds]
 * Sonic: Hey, I know someone who's a cop! Can I borrow your phone, Steven?
 * Steven: Uh... sure.
 * Sonic: Thanks! [grabs phone and dials number] Oh, hey Tom! This idiot Bloo is driving everyone crazy and he's gone outta control. Can you come over and arrest him? He's on a dragon from Empire City Airport.
 * Tom:  [on phone] Sure thing, Sonic!
 * Sonic: Cool, thanks! [hangs up]
 * K.O.: Who was that you were talking to?
 * Sonic: Oh, that was Tom Wachowski, he was a police officer and a friend of mine.
 * K.O.: Tom, huh? I never heard of that guy...
 * Steven:  Yeah, me neither.
 * Maia: Exactly, what is he gonna do to Bloo?
 * Sonic: [sighs] Tom is going to arrest Bloo for his behavior, Maia....
 * [Tom comes]
 * Bloo: Well, this is a bummer....
 * Tom: Well punk, you're under arrest for your behavior and getting everyone killed!
 * Bloo: [sighs sadly]
 * Sonic: Mac, I want to apologize about your friend, but he doesn't have a choice you know...
 * Mac: It's.... I just wanna be alone for a while. If you wanna go see me, I'm at the back of the plane. [leaves the scene]
 * Pearl: Is he gonna be okay?
 * Steven: I hope so, I mean what other choice do we have Pearl?
 * Pearl: [shrugs]
 * Terry: [through microphone, off screen] The dragon will take off in five minutes. Everybody, get into your seats.
 * Steven: Guys, that's our cue. Let's go.

The Dragon Flight

 * [The plane has started and flies off into the distance]
 * Edna: Here we are!
 * Gena: Mama, I can't believe we're flying!
 * Annie: I wonder if it could be a Japanese dragon....
 * [K.O. and the others look out the window]
 * K.O.: Well, I'll be! It does look like a dragon!
 * Lapis Lazuli: It's pretty colorful.
 * Spinel: You know what I say?
 * Bismuth: What do you say, Spinel?
 * Spinel: The more style, the better!
 * Steven: Exactly. Hey, let's see what's on our TV screens!
 * Maia: Great idea!
 * [They turn on their TV screens]
 * Lucas: Woah! Movies, yay!!
 * Tails: That's right, Lucas! There are a lot of movies!

 * Lapis Lazuli: Oh, I think that sounds good!
 * Gena: I know which one to watch first, the 47 Ronin.
 * Lucy: You guys, the best one of them all is obviously Dinosaurs of China.
 * Steven:  [chuckles] Guys, I get it, there's a lot of movies!
 * K.O.: Mm-hm. I'm gonna watch... hmmm...
 * Steven: Maybe a Godzilla movie?
 * K.O.: Like the 1954 classic?
 * Maia: Yeah, maybe.
 * Enid: Didn't we see that guy in the theater?
 * K.O.: Yeah, where he was fighting against the Daleks and Cyberman.
 * Radicles: Who are those guys again?
 * K.O.: These are the characters from Doctor Who of course, they're the race of aliens that they can conquer the world and send every monster to destroy the cities.
 * Radicles: Ah, I never watched Doctor Who.
 * Enid: Me neither.
 * K.O.: There are other types of Doctors you guys that you don't know, like 1st Doctor, 2nd Doctor, 3rd Doctor, 4th Doctor, 5th Doctor, 6th Doctor, 7th Doctor, 8th Doctor, 9th Doctor, 10th Doctor, 11th Doctor, 12th Doctor, 13th Doctor, 14-

 * Craig: Sounds good, but what do you wanna watch, Kelsey?
 * Kelsey: The Lost World! A place filled with Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Monsters...
 * JP: Or The Beasts Are On The Streets!
 * Sonic: Why not the Gremlins?
 * Chowder: I love the Gremlins! They're so cute and cuddling!!!!
 * Mordecai: No... no, I'd put them along the lines of "creepy" and "disturbing".
 * Chowder: They are not! Have you even seen Gremlins?
 * Mordecai: Yeah, have you seen Gremlins?
 * Chowder: No, I guess not... I guess I just looked at the poster... but never mind, they're watching!
 * JP: Who's watching?
 * Dexter: What is it with that Chowder guy and breaking the fourth wall?
 * Steven: We all do it sometimes.
 * Chowder: [humming]
 * Sonic: May you please stop humming?
 * Chowder: What? So far, many of us haven't gotten to speak for the whole movie!
 * JP: WE'RE IN A MOVIE?
 * Rigby: Settle down, Chowder, you don't need to give the viewers a hard time...
 * Chowder: Oh, sorry.
 * Steven: It's ok. You guys enjoy your stuff, I'm gonna try to rest for a few hours. [lies down and drifts off to rest]
 * Chowder: Ah, he's asleep now.
 * Craig: I have a question - what is the fourth walll?
 * Sonic: The space which separates a performer or performance from an audience.
 * Knuckles: [comes up in front of screen] Hm. Sounds... uh... cool.
 * K.O.: Uh... yeah.
 * Shaggy Rogers: Well, shall we change the topic?
 * Scooby-Doo: Sounds good to me.
 * Yogi Bear: Mm-hm. I agree with you as well.
 * Enid: Any better ideas then?
 * Lion-O: Um... well, let's just NOT talk about how my show was a critical failure.
 * Maia: I thought people liked Thundercats?
 * Mao Mao: Well, they hate Thundercats Roar.
 * JP: Well, Lion-O, I hope one day you can be rebooted into someone strong.
 * Radicles: Like me!
 * Spinel: Guess what, people also hate Teen Titans Go!
 * Peridot: Exactly!
 * Ben: And the Ben 10 reboot!
 * Peridot: Exactly!
 * Buttercup: And the Powerpuff Girls reboot!
 * Peridot: Exactly!
 * Lion-O: Guys, didn't I tell you NOT to talk about how my show was a critical failure?
 * Spinel: Sorry!
 * Maia: One more thing. How would all you guys like it if I turn you into your original forms?
 * ALL REBOOTED CHARACTERS: YES! YES! YES!!!
 * Maia: Well... here I go.
 * [Maia turns all rebooted characters into their original forms]
 * Lion-O: Ah. That's much better. Thank you so much, Maia!
 * Maia: I'm happy to help.
 * K.O.: Guys, I'm glad your back to your original forms.
 * Ben: And we're happy too, K.O.
 * Sonic: And I'm happy I'm not weird, except my old movie form.
 * Craig: Thank gosh the movie studio fixed you.
 * Mac: [comes by] Hey guys, what's up?
 * Shaggy Rogers: Nothing, really.
 * Scooby-Doo: Only the sky, that's what.
 * K.O.: [sarcastic] Ha, ha, how... how funny.
 * Mac: Wait, I can swear some of you guys look different...
 * Maia: That's because I turned them into their original forms instead of their reboot forms.
 * Lion-O: And now we look better. More mature, more intimidating.
 * Mac:  [rolls eyes] Huh, well, I'm sure a LOT of people were intimidated by you... for all the wrong reasons.
 * Jasper: Yeah, I've been intimated a lot.... by you...
 * K.O.: I'm sure we all have.
 * Enid: Yep.
 * Radicles: Mm-hm.
 * Conor: Yeah.
 * Oscar: Hey, where's Tulip?
 * Tulip: [comes by] Oh, hey, guys!
 * Maia: Tulip, what's up? [hugs her] Hey One-One, and hello there Atticus! Haven't seen you for a while after you were darkened by my arch-nemesis, Madame Absinthe. How was your traveling times?
 * Tulip: Oh, they were great. Weren't they, One-One and Atticus?
 * One-One: [Glad-One] They were amazing, weren't they?
 * One-One: [Sad-One] No... they were horrible...
 * Atticus: [stops wagging tail] That's a bit morbid, isn't it...?
 * Tulip: Oh, try to quiet down, you're not helping!
 * Pearl: What's that green thing on your hand?
 * Tulip: This is TBA
 * Amethyst: And she just goes on with her day normally with that on her hand?
 * Peridot: I guess so.
