I have desided that, I like neither of them. Sighing, I raised my right hand to my eyepatch...
"Hmm, maybe next time." but stopping at its surface, and raising the pocketed hand revealing the glass 6oz jar of my favorite, homemade, Flash-Flask. Throwing the unasumming thing infront of them as well as turning in the opposite direction, mad dashing right for the tree line.
Picked up the resipe in China back in 1834, been using it ever since. I now realise, that I could've used this earlier, but no time for regrets, only for escaping.
I could feel the Flash-Flask activate, burning bright as the sun for a few moments, giving me precious time to escape. I haven't heard any other footsteps following my own, hopefully this means that have not given pursuit.
I didn't stop running even after I reached the treeline, only instead of just going one direction I went several but never backtreking. I know this forest, I've been hermiting here for the last seven months, this place can be difficult to navigate without any landmarks...
...Wait, what was that noise? "GAH!" Something snaked my leg pulling me upside down from a tree.
"Aha! Got you!"
"Hmm, you were right."
"What?! How did you find me!?" Looking up, or is it down? I spotted the two, with Amethyst looking smug holding the thing that was wrapped around my leg. And Garnet, sitting on a branch near Amethyst, slightly swinging her legs. I don't like them very much.
"We used the trees, keeping instep with you the entire time." I swear I just saw a smirk, blasted wretch.
"Hahaha, and you never thought to look up either, hahaha" She started to swing me in circles, dread colored wench.
"Amethyst, tie him up. We're bringing him with us to the Temple." Garnet jumped to the ground and proceeded to lean against a nearby tree, arms crossed, waiting for her comrade.
The spinning suddenly got faster and the thing I know the ground was coming greet me, but I couldn't move anything to buffer the fall. Closing my eye, waiting for the incoming pain...
"Huh?" It seems that I've been caught, looking back and sure enough, Garnet did it with a single hand. My face went from surprised to a sneer in record time. She then threw me over her shoulder and began walking a direction I think is south.

"Thanks but, I need need to get strong too!" Steven then put on the other set of tires and proceeded to run laps in the sand. While his father, Greg, a middle-aged man with a heavy set figure, and two others watched as he rested.
Greg has long light brown hair, but has a large bald spot, and an even lighter colored beard. He has a t-shirt shaped tan line, he has peach skin color and the tanned areas more reddish. Wearing a white sleeveless shirt with gray sweat shorts and flip-flops.
The other two are Sadie and Lars, friends and co-workers. Lars is a tall, thin teenager with curly, dark orange hair. With dark peach colored skin, and has gauges in each ear-lobe. He has a gray sleeveless shirt, darker gray shorts, and green sneakers. While Sadie seems to be Lars's opposite, she is short and stout with tied back blonde hair. Sadie has pale skin under a blue gray sleeveless shirt and light pink shorts.
"He really, *huff*, into this, *huff*." Sadie spoke from her seated position on the sand. She took a deep breath, then looked to Lars and Greg, "I think it's time we call it a day guys." Receiving nods of agreement, she began looking for Steven. She found him still running in the track Greg made, also still inside the four tires. "Hey Steven!" The tire stack with legs ground to a halt, "We're gonna gonna go, see you tomorrow coach.!" The three walked their own ways to home. Steven continued to jog after waving them goodbye, through the tires.
But after a few minutes, Steven, nearly collapsed from never having exercised before. "Al-huff-right *huff* time to *huff* to rest." Crawling out of the tires, after laying on the sand, and getting shakily up to his feet. Steven walked with dragged feet to ramp, groaning he walked up to the door. Upon opening it he groaned once he realized that he has to climbed to reach the heaven that is his bed. Two minutes and twenty-seven seconds later, Steven made it. He made it to his bed to his haven, his sanctuary where he could sleep away his aches and pains.

"Garnet?"
"Yes, Amethyst?"
"Where are we?"
