I wanted to do something with the Percy Jackson Musical and this is what happened! Most of it is the original song (which is called Prologue/Day I Got Expelled, for anyone who might be wondering!) but I did my best to change it to fit SU.
I know having Pearl as Annabeth and Steven as Percy is probably pretty weird for those of you who've read the books and know Percy & Annabeth fall in love, but it's not meant to be like that at all here. See, I had Pearl as Grover for a bit and Connie as Annabeth but it...didn't match up how I thought it should?? so yeah, I changed it.
Just... just disregard the roles in the song and imagine it from a purely Steven Universe standpoint and it'll work a lot better than trying to figure out said roles & relationships.
Also, keep in mind, I did most of this at...like 12 am so I was probably a bit... ah, sleep-deprived??
In any case, enjoy!
The Day I Got Denied (From Going On Future Quests)
[Bismuth]
Aliens are real
Like the Gem Aliens
[Pearl]
Like the ones you learned about
But weren’t paying attention to
[Bismuth & Pearl]
Well, they don’t pay attention to you, either
[Pink Diamond & Steven]
Especially if you’re their kid
[Pearl]
The gem have gemly things to do
[Pearl & Garnet]
Gemly places they need to see
[Amethyst]
Gemly plans they need to make
That don’t include
Me
[All]
Yeah, aliens are real
And they have kids
And those kids have issues
(Issues!)
[Pink Diamond about Yellow & Blue respectively]
Daddy doesn’t love me
And mommy is a gem
[Pink Diamond about Blue & Yellow respectively]
Mommy can’t protect me
And daddy is a gem
[Pink Diamond & Steven]
Mommy is too busy
And daddy is too busy
busy, busy, busy, busy being a gem
Yeah!
You never listen to me
(You never listen)
You never listen to me
(You never listen, oh)
(You never listen but-)
Now, you’re gonna listen
‘Cause it’s time you heard our side of the story
It’s time you heard our story-
[Steven]
(Spoken)
Look!
(Sung)
I didn’t wanna be a hybrid
I didn’t ask to be a hero “seeking praise”
Being a hybrid is scary
It mostly gets you killed in very nasty ways
I didn’t want to cause trouble, (trouble)
I’m less a player and more the played
And honestly, I’d be totally be fine
If I could make it to the next grade (next grade)
It wasn’t dirty socks or the ship’s smoke
It was danger that I smelled
The day it all went down
The day I got denied
(Spoken)
Maybe you don’t know what a hybrid is because your life is normal and happy and not constantly in danger, but my life...? [hmm..] Let me set the scene-
(Sung)
We were on this freaky field trip
[Ensemble]
(Freaky trip)
That’s when this story should probably start
[All]
We were geeking out on ancient alien-speak
At the Moon Base where once gems could meet
[Steven]
We stopped by all the murals
And learned about the Diamonds
With Garnet and weirdest rubies I ever knew
Hadn’t done nothing wrong
Wasn’t rude
Hadn’t rebelled
[All]
On the day it all went down
[Steven]
The day I got denied
[Garnet]
(Spoken)
The Diamonds! Almighty titans of earth, sea, and sky! But even they were children once, and they didn’t have it easy! One soldier, Rose Quartz, feared what Pink Diamond had planned for Earth. So what did she do?
Anyone? Anyone?
[Ruby]
(Spoken)
She started a rebellion!
[Garnet]
(Spoken)
Ah... thank you, Ruby.
But! One diamond, Pink, challenged her! She met Rose Quartz in battle. And what did Rose Quartz do?
Anyone? Anyone else?
[Ruby]
(Spoken)
She shattered Pink Diiiiiiamond!
[Steven]
I didn’t really get the story
At least it wasn’t boring as I’d feared
But is it me, or is Gem history
Not deeply weird?
I didn’t want to pay attention
[Ensemble]
(Pay attention! Pay attention!)
[Steven]
Now I wish I had taken notes
But my focus is in question
And gems and insubordination caused a groan from all our throats
[Ensemble]
Ew!
[Connie]
Baaaaaah!
[Steven]
(Spoken)
Dude, what was that?
[Connie]
(Spoken)
Uh, nothing!
[Steven]
My best friend was acting strange
At which she so excelled
[All]
The day it all went down
[Steven]
The day I got denied
(Spoken)
Why do you have peanut butter in your hair?
[Connie]
(Spoken)
Ask Aquamarine, she’s a monster! Not literally. I don’t think...
[Steven]
(Spoken)
She threw a peanut butter sandwich at you?
[Connie]
(Spoken)
She threw a peanut butter sandwich at you, I stopped it. With my head.
[Steven]
(Spoken)
Connie, you’re a good friend.
[Connie]
(Spoken)
Aw...
Dude. I’m your only friend.
[Ruby]
Steven Universe!
[Steven]
I knew something was up
When I heard my name get yelled
[All]
The day it all went down-
[Steven]
I saw something odd in that Ruby’s frown
[All]
The day it all got weird
[Steven]
The day I got denied
[Ruby]
(Spoken)
Mr. Universe!
Please see me by the door
[Steven]
(Spoken)
Look... if this is about Aquamarine, she only hates me because I tried to get her and my friends to get along-
[Ruby]
(Spoken)
I have heard much about you, Steven Universe.
[Steven]
(Spoken)
Really? That’s very dedicated for a soldier...
[Ruby]
(Spoken)
Kept in the dark for all these years, knowing next to nothing about your heritage! One might question your parents...
[Steven]
(Spoken)
Hey, don’t talk about my dad-
[Ruby]
(Spoken)
And your mother? That’s right... you don’t know who she is! [begins laughing]
[Steven]
(Spoken)
What’s this about anyway?
Uh, rubies?
Why are you standing so close-
[the rubies’ laughter become maniacal as they fuse. Steven screams]
[Garnet]
(Spoken)
What ho, Steven!
[Steven]
(Spoken)
Garnet! What am I supposed to do with a pen- Shield! Woah!
[ruby fusion screams]
[Steven]
(Spoken)
Garnet?
Rub....ies?
Um...
(Sung)
I didn’t know what just had happened
Was that all a creepy, crazy dream?
That Ruby was a creature
Then she vanished in the ether
With a demon scream
The next thing that I knew
I was where the air got thin
The day I discovered what it all meant
The day I got-
(Spoken)
Denied from future quests?
[Garnet]
(Spoken)
I tried, Steven, but the Moon Base doesn’t your needs. You could’ve died! And you were supposed to stay with the group.
[Steven]
(Spoken)
But it wasn’t my fault, it was the rubies! They lured me away, attacked me, and- you saw it!
[Garnet]
(Spoken)
Did I?
[Steven]
(Spoken)
And you gave me that pen! Only it wasn’t a pen, it was a shield, and...
What?
[Connie]
(Spoken)
Steven... we never went to the Moon Base with Rubies.
[Garnet]
(Spoken)
Perhaps it’s for the best. You weren’t ready. It was only a matter of time before-
[Steven]
(Spoken)
I messed up?
[Garnet]
(Spoken)
That’s not what I was going to-
[Steven]
(Spoken)
You think I’m trouble just like everyone else.
[Garnet]
(Spoken)
No, but... I can only accept the best from you, Steven. Someday you’ll understand why. I’m sorry.
[Steven]
(Spoken)
Yeah well, I’m sorry I let you down.
[Connie]
(Spoken)
Maybe it’s for the best. I mean, you’re not exactly...
[Steven]
(Spoken)
Normal?
[Connie]
(Spoken)
Exactly! [Laughs]
I mean, uh, I’ll see you on the ship..
[Steven]
So if you think you are a hybrid;
Better get headed to the exits now
‘Cause folks will think you’re lying
Better run and don’t start crying
or you’re corruption chow
Stick around and maybe you’ll learn from me
This ain’t Odysseus’ Odyssey
So hear me out
If you’re so compelled
But, nobody listens to me
They never listen
Nobody listens to me
They never listen, oh
[Ensemble]
Dude!
You got
Denied
[Steven]
I didn’t wanna be a hybrid!
[Ensemble]
(Denied!)
[Steven]
I didn’t ask to be a hybrid!
[Ensemble]
(Denied!)
