Sorry for the late post. Enjoy though!!

We entered in the woods. "So, we are looking for raspberries and blueberries?" He asked me. "Yeah, you know how their bushes look like right?" I questioned. "I do actually." He said while looking around. "Okay, let's split up so we find more. I'll go in that direction." I pointed to my right. "I'll go in the opposite direction then." We parted our ways...

Diego's pov:

I was looking around and picking up forest fruits. I found one big bush with blueberries. I really didn't like doing all this work. But then I thought of something. I saw two white rabbits hanging a little away from me. I caught them and turned them into dinosaurs. They started picking up the blueberries for me. Having this ability was really easy. Then I just lay on the ground and waited...

The smell of the trees was really relaxing. It made me feel really calm. After a while, the little dinosaurs brought me a lot of fruits. I picked them up and put them in a small bag. I turned the rabbits back to normal and got on my horse. Then the sudden thought hit me. I realized that I didn't know where Y/N was. And I was quite far from the place where I last saw her. I immediately started running back. I started yelling out for her "Y/N! Where are you!" I forgot that we didn't say when and where we were going to meet again. Then suddenly I heard a very distant echo. I recognized her voice. I went in that direction. "Y/N!" I yelled out again and waited for a response. "Diego?!" I was getting closer. I relaxed after knowing that she was close to me. Then I saw her walking with her horse through the trees. "Y/N! Where the fuck were you?!" I approached her. "Woah, chill. At least you found me." She talked back. "Why did you went that far away. We shouldn't have split up." I was quite stressed. "Relax, it's not that deep- Anyways, are you ok?" "I'm good. I picked a lot of raspberries and blueberries, I think this will be enough. Now get on your horse and let's go. We will eat while traveling." I ordered her. She got on Megan Stallion and we started finding our way out of the forest..

"Soo.. How much distance is left until we finish this stage?" she asked while we were eating. "I'd say we have around two more days." I told her. "Oh nice. What will we do after the third stage?" She looked at me. I didn't know what she meant. "What? You wanna travel with Gyro and Johnny?" I questioned. "I mean, I don't mind traveling with you. But if you don't want to, then I'll be with them.. if they are alright." She said while looking down. She looked sad. I knew that they were alive, but I wanted to keep that act up. "I won't mind being with you at all. We will see later." I answered and just ignored her. I was thinking of how to get the right eye...

Y/N's pov:

It was around noon. We were running for some hours. I really enjoyed being with Diego those days. But I was getting paranoid. He said that they won, but he actually didn't know. I was confused. I worried whether they were alive or not... I really wanted to see them. I didn't know what to do after the third stage either. Traveling with Diego was actually really nice, calming and enjoyable. And being with Johnny and Gyro was so fun too. But I didn't want to leave Dio alone again. "Sleeping with him is so-really nice... Aaah, what am I even saying.." I thought and mentally slapped myself. "Now that I think about it.. The thing Johnny said to me again. What did he really mean-?" I think I knew the answer, but I wanted to see him once again and ask him without anyone interrupting us. "You okay? You seem a bit off lately?" Diego got me out of my anxious thoughts. "Huh-? Yeah just thinking about something..." I tried not talking about it in front of him. "Alright then, but I was gonna tell you that the sun is gonna set soon. We need to find a suitable place for the night." I noticed that it was already starting to get dark. "We need to find a water source for the horses. Let's camp nearby a river again." I suggested.

We stopped our horses in a really chill place. It was a big clearing. There was a stream where the horses could drink water. "Y/N, could you make some of those noodles again? I'd really appreciate it." He came to ask me. "Oh.. Sure!" I was in the mood of eating noodles too.
