Two years had passed since Lapis and Lazuli had left their hometown, and they had come across another small town somewhere out in the middle of nowhere, far away from where they'd at one point called home.
The two of them had both been 14 when they'd left, and now they were more around 16. They'd grown quite a bit, but their personalities were the same as ever.

Lapis was adventures and quite rebellious, always doing something to get the pair in trouble. Lazuli however was still the fairly good one, and missed her parents even more each day since they'd left them behind.
She'd finally accepted the fact that they'd probably never go back home, and she had a feeling that even if they did, their parents wouldn't be to happy to see them after what they'd done since they'd left.

Lapis was quite set on exploring the whole entire world, although at this point they still had a long way to go before that happened. Lazuli was still skeptical about the venture, although she'd pretty much decided that there was no use in arguing with her brother about it.
Lapis was stubborn, if he decided to do something, there was no way anyone would be able to talk him out of it.

She was slightly worried about her twin brother, who had grown into even more of a daredevil than he'd been as a child.
A couple of weeks back some kid had challenged Lapis to an old style gunfight, and he had gladly accepted.
Lapis had won the battle, but that still wasn't very comforting to Lazuli, seeing as Lapis had ended up killing the person who had challenged him.

Right now Lapis was inside a store, while Lazuli was sitting outside on a bench waiting for him. At one point a woman came up and asked her if she was lost.
"Uh, no. My brother's inside, I'm just waiting for him." Lazuli replied, and the woman nodded and went about her own business. Lapis came out a few minutes later, not even looking at her, and tossed her a pearl necklace.
Lazuli looked at it, and put it on. "...Thanks...?" She didn't bother asking where he'd gotten it from- He'd probably stolen it either from the store or someone inside the store.

He'd been doing a lot of that lately, and she wasn't too happy about it. She liked the necklace, but she'd rather have gotten it in a legal way. They were in enough trouble already without adding onto it even more.
"You coming?" Lapis stopped at the edge of the road, looking back at her. "Yeah, I'm coming."

She got up and followed him, watching as he put some more bullets in his gun. When he was done, he headed towards the side of town that was made up mainly of houses.
She stayed silent as he climbed the fence to a house, where everyone seemed to be asleep. "What are you doing?" She finally asked, as he headed towards a car sitting in the driveway.

"Stealing a car." Lapis replied, not even looking back at her. "Aren't we in enough trouble already? Do we really need a car that badly?" Lazuli asked, annoyed.
"Oh come on Lazuli, you're going to get tired of walking eventually. And as for me I already have." Lapis replied, taking a safety pin out of his pocket and picking the lock on the car.

"How are you going to get it to start anyway?" Lazuli asked, leaning against the open driver's side door. "Simple." Lapis took a key out from under the floor mat.
"Spare key." He smirked, starting the car and unlocking the passenger door. "Get in, Lazuli."

She sighed, and walked over to the other side of the car. "I hope you know what you're doing, Lapis." She said, opening the door and sitting down in the passenger seat.
She buckled the seat belt, and Lapis closed his door. "Of course I do." He slammed on the gas pedal, and went speeding out of the yard.

"Whoa!" Lazuli closed her eyes, sliding down as far as she could in the seat as her twin went zooming down the road at a speed way way way over the speed limit.
"Lapis please don't crash." She murmured, opening her eyes again. "I'm not gonna crash." Lapis replied, still smirking, as he turned a corner.

"Sure you won't!" Lazuli face palmed, as he went speeding out of the city limits of town and onto a highway. "Lets see.. Ginger Town, 50 miles. Want to go there, Lazuli?" Lapis glanced at her.
"...Sure, I guess." Lazuli replied, sitting up straight again. "Alright!" Lapis' smirk got wider as he sped down the road in the direction of the town.

Lazuli watched out the window as they drove, and happened to glance at the side mirror on her side and saw a strange white van with a logo that read 'RR' in red letters on the side directly behind them.
Is that guy following us? She thought. No, that's ridiculous. She quickly dismissed the thought, then she had another.
"Lapis. What does 'RR' stand for?" She asked, glancing at her twin brother. "I don't know, railroad?" He replied, sarcastically.

"What else does it stand for?" Lazuli replied, sounding quite annoyed. "I have no idea." Lapis told her. "Why?"
"There's a van behind us that has a logo that says 'RR' on the side." She replied.
"Still could mean railroad. It might be someone that works for the railroad company." Lapis replied, in a tone that dared her to dispute his logic.

She rolled her eyes, but replied much more calmly than she wanted to.
She didn't want to start something with her brother. "No, it doesn't look like the railroad logo. Hm." She looked back at the van, and noticed that it was an old man driving.
I'll have to remember that. She thought, then turned back so that she was looking out the windshield.
She briefly fell asleep, and then woke up a while later as her brother exclaimed:

"Ginger Town, City Limits!"
