Buddy and Garnet were walking in the park. They were holding hands and talking about a TV show Buddy really liked. Although Garnet didn't really know what the show was, she enjoyed talking to him. He was sweet, loving and innocent.

"Hey Tubby!"

A young boy with dark hair and tan skin came walking. He had on very nice clothes.

Buddy hide behind Garnet but it was no use the boy poked Buddy's stomach and continued to mock him. Not before long, Garnet picked up the rude young boy.

"Hey what do you think you're doing!" The boy commended. "I am Preston Northwest and I am rich! My great grandfather founded this town and I-"

Garnet dropped the boy and kneeled to him.

"You don't go running around and hurting other people for almost no reason." Garnet summond her gauntlet. "I am not only Buddy's friend, but I am also his protecter."

"Oh, look at that! Bud, I had no idea you could afford a babysitter! And she cares about you to- oof!"

Bud out of anger punched Preston in the face. Preston fell, but got up.

"You want a fight? Well you'll get one! Today, 4 o'clock, right here. Be there."

Before Buddy could say anything, Preston went off.

"Oh Garnet! What will I do?! I didn't mean to punch him, he justs makes me so darn angry!"

"Buddy, Buddy, you just need to calm down."

"But I just got a fight with Preston Northwest! What can I do?!"

"Me and everyone else will train you."

"Really? Can they fight?"

"Yes, yes they can."

"Come on Bud!" Amethyst encouraged. "You need to beat this Preston kid so just punch the trees."

"Why do I need to punch trees?"

"Because you need to punch the Preston kid, and whats more sturdy then a human body?"

"Umm, trees!"

"Right, so if you keep punching the trees..."

"I can punch Preston!"

"Yeah! Perfect! Keep punching those trees!"

"What on Earth are you two doing?" Pearl asked Amethyst and Buddy.

"I'm training Buddy to fight some rich kid."

"Okay, why is he punching trees?"

"So his fists can get stronger and he can hurt this kid.

"Alright, have you considered the possibility of this kid punching him back?"

"Uhhh... not really."

"Yeah! Take that trees!"

"What, do you have some kind of gruge against trees?" Ford asked, emerging out of the forest.

"No, I'm going to fight a kid and Amethyst told me to punch trees."

"Really, punching the trees? Have you considered the possibility of this kid punching you back?"

"That's what I said! If you're fighting someone, you should learn self defense and how to stop him from hitting you." Pearl reasoned.

"That's true, you should fight someone." Ford said. "Amethyst, practice fight with Bud."

"Why do I have to do it?"

"Your short, and he's fighting a kid."

Amethyst sighed. "Come over here kid."

"Alright, be warned, I punched a lot of trees!"

"Should that be considered endearing or strange?" Pearl asked aloud.

"Personally, I think both." Ford answered.

"Oof!" Amethyst said and fell down. "See you two. Punching. Trees. Works."

"Hm." Ford said. "Maybe I should try that sometime."

"Are you saying you're considering on punching trees?" Pearl said.

"It worked for him."

"If Bud jumped off a cliff would you?"

"Why the hell would I want to do that?"

"Good point."

"Maybe you two should start training Buddy," Amethyst suggested. "You probably know what you're doing."

"Are you sure we can fight with swords Pearl?" Bud panted. "Even though they have bubble wrap on them, I don't think they'll be swords."

"You're right, I'm probably taking this to far. What else should we do?"

"I don't know."

"Wait! Maybe we can try to find a way to outsmart him!"

"That's a good idea!" Bud said gleefully. "But how will we do that?"

"I have an idea. We won't outsmart him, but it will work." Garnet said.

It was three fifty-eight and Preston was waiting at the spot they agreed on fighting. He had some back up. A couple of servants to help him out. Give him water or stuff like that.

Bud and Garnet walked hand in hand to the fight. Garnet carried a small ice pack with her.

"Oh, Tuddy, I'm glad you could make it. Leon, what time is it?"

"It is exactly 4 o'clock, sir."

"Oh good! It means I shall now kick your ass, sorry for the offensive language, Herbert."

"No offense taken, sir."

"I guess I'll let you take the first move Tubby, but only because I want to see you fail."

"Remember the plan Buddy," Garnet whispered.

"I dunno if I should do this Garnet, what if I get in trouble?"

"Hurry up, Tubby! I need to get home in an hour, preparing for a magazine shoot. So hurry up and stop talking to your babysitter!"

Buddy, full of rage walked over to Preston and kneed him in the crouch. Preston fell over and covered himself in pain and groaned. It hurt so much!

Garnet walked over to Preston and handed him the ice bag.

"This is why you should be nice to other people."

Preston put the ice bag over his crouch and Garnet picked up Buddy and put him on her head.

"Let's see a movie Buddy, then we'll get ice cream."

"Yay! Movies and ice cream, I'm so happy!"

The two walked away as Preston stared at them, envious.

"I want ice cream," he barely whispered.

"Come on Preston, we should get you home."

He sighed and walked with them.
