HotSpot::I don't know if I can like post regularlly, but it's most definate that I'll be on agian on Sunday. And if my sister babysits again next week I'll most definatelly be on so I should be good to go on the regurally posting thing if not...You can throw a fake watermelon at me or something like that. Oh, and sorry I wasn't on earlier this week I was helping a friend on her farm while sis was babysitting and then I went riding on Sunday so.. I didn't have a chance. But count me in on the Ball stuff! Yeah, us! We get to pick dresses soon! Milly: I smiled and shook my head sitting down across from her. "Oh, I don't know if I'll take his breathe away. Not after I stole his horse early today just to get his goat." I watched the others face with a smile. "And don't worry. I'll return to him...Sometime." I ended with a mumble loud enough for them to hear.

OOC: Spot wants us to party, let's keep the party rolling then till Spot and Blu get back.
Sydney: "I really don't want to go over to BerryHill. The more undercover we can keep Sam the better. Not that it's easy to hide a horse but you get my drift. Our stables and its horses have been targets of sabotage too many times. This is one competition that I intend so go though without fighting for our lives." I went silent for a moment remembering Ike, I hoped no one would presure me to explain. The thought alone brought back many painful memories.

OOC: yep! if you guys want to, we can all go on a wee hiatus, so you don't feel obligated to keep checking! and, liberty, fear no melons! it's fine if your schedule's unpredicatable... just wondering if any of us are going to like backpack across mongolia or something without telling the others! Arin: "You stole a horse?!" i squealed to Milly. "a way to a man's heart can definately be through playing hard-to-get, though, so as long as the horse is okay, i'm fine with it!" Katie: "And where are you keeping this horse, young lady?" i asked, in a faux-stern tone. really, i was trying to keep from laughing. Trillium: Finally, Miley came back with some eats. "OOH, miley, who do you want to go to the ball with?" i asked, teasingly.

Sydney: They were talking to Miley about her horse and rather than jump into the conversation I decided to take a breather. I walked over to my sleeping bag and tried to sit indian style with out yelping in pain. Not riding for a whole year was really stupid I tried to get as comfortable as possible but each movement ached. Then I thought about Sam, I hadn't been back to see him liked I'd promised. I stood carefully and walked over to the table with the snacks on it. Grabbing an apple, I announced to everyone "I'm going to go check on Sam, I'll be back in a couple of minutes." Rather than wait for a response I continued down the walk way to Sam's stall. Of course as silent as I was trying to be he head me and lifted his muzzle over the stall door and uttered a soft, low nicker. "Hey big guy. You were great today. How ya feeling?" He smelled the apple I had brought and nodded his head so high his whispy forlock feel over his deep brown eyes. Yep, I was under the magic spell again. I broke the apple as close to half as I could and offered him a half. Since June's stall was right next door I steped over to check on her too. "Hey pretty girl. Don't get too jealous of Sam. I'm sure he'll be going back home after the race. Then it'll be you and me again. And maybe Monte." I said softly to the mare offering her the other part of apple. She took it gently and closed her eyes in satisfaction. Their happiness lifted my mood even higher.

Miley:
"ohh uhh, coming Stardust!" i got up quickly went to my backpack and grabbed a Honey&Oats Bar and quickly sprinted down to my Thoroughbred's stall. i looked over my shoulder and saw a smirk on Trill's face. she knew i was up to something. i thought about my ranch, back home. i missed Golden Dusk my palomino over filly. since i had just gotten back from Sandy Shoreline, Maryland from my tragedy, i hadnt been able to ride her. then i thought about all the Arabians, Gidran Arabs, Morabs, Thoroughbreds, Morganbreds, Shagya Arabs, Persian Arabs, Appaloosas, Quarter Horses, and all my other horses and then my first horse, Crown Jewel. the mare had run away in the middle of the night. i was awake and she was crying to the Calico Mountains. i wouldnt have been surprise if the entire house was wake, but i whistled to her and it didnt help. when the mare had finally fallen silent an answering neigh ecoed through the ranch. Jewel started trotting around her pasture. i looked over at the entrance of the ranch and saw a stallion standing there. the next thing i knew the red stallion loped off to Jewel. i sprinted through the house and ran outside. i jumped the fence to Jewel's pasture and grabbed onto her halter as hard as i could. my family was awake from my rushing out of the house. my dad saw the red roan stallion and started flashing his hands infront of the stallions face. the stallion merrly swerved around my dad and jumped the fence to Jewel's pasture. he flashed his teeth at me and nipped at Jewel's hind feet. Jewel jumped the fence to her pasture and the two ran off into the night. after that my parents sent me away. i approached Stardust's stall and gave her half of my Honey & Oats Bar. she crunched on the sweety goodness of it. i petted her forehead and grabbed her leather lead rope. i hooked it to her matching leather halter that had a gold plate on it that said Burst of Stardust. i opened her stall door and led her outside to the pasture with Caramel Sensation, Desert Angel, Freckles, and Mocha Lata.

Miily: I grinned at the others and there reactions to what i had done. I heard Katie's firm voice and turned to her looking to see if she was really mad or not. Her face was stern but her eyes were laughing. "Oh, it's not important. I could have just put him in the far pasture's round pen. With hay and water of course." I gave pause in what I was saying and looked at the others michievously. "You know I think I like the horse better than the guy." I said my eyes saying deferently. I grinned and danced around a little bit. "I can see me now. You guys are dancing with the boys and I'm out with his horse. IN a ball gown!" I laughed and sat down. I stopped laughing and thought about how Miley had been dancing around the subject of the boys. I got up and moved off to where she'd gone. "I'll be back soon." I called and jogged toward Miley. "Hey, Miley can I talk to you for a minute about something?" I took a breathe dove on ahead. "Why are you dancing around the subject of the boys? Are you embarrassest to admit that you like one of the guys?" I asked kindly waiting for her answer.

Arin: i began to get antsy as the topic drifted to and fro among guys and their horses. when would MY new horse arrive? i started chewing my fingernails.
then, i heard a car horn blast twice outside the barn, sounding quite jovial. "They're here!" i shreiked, leaping up and charging out of the barn. Katie and some of the others were close behind. a lady with a neon-orange crew cut hopped out of the cab of the "Appleton stables" pickup truck cab, and gave Katie a hug. "i haven't seem you forever!" the lady, who i assumed was mandy, said with a beam. "I have your horse right here!" she patted the trailer. a shrill whinny issued from inside.
"Great! let's see her." Katie said, walking around to the back. as if walking on clouds, i sprinted along after her. Mandy opened the back of the featherlite, walked in, and, a minute later, backed out a prancing, pawing, snorting mare. She was one of the most beautiful horses i had ever seen. a misty grey with a golden sheen in the light from the barn lamp, she looked soft and sleek. she had long, long legs, a neatly trimmed mane and tail, and an intelligent, eastern-looking head. She was amazingly tall. Her liquid dark eyes sought out mine for an instant, and i caught my breath. what a horse!
"This is With Flying Colors. Fly for short." Mandy said, giving the nervous horse a pat. "a little neaurotic, but a natural steeplechaser. she's a papered Akhal-Teke, but isn't as loyal to a single person as most of he rbreed. in fact, she doesn't have a favorite person at all." wordlessly, i reached out a hand to stroke the argentium neck. she flinched away at first, but then grudgingly let me run my hand along the limber hide. "She's gorgeous!" i breathed.
"Would you like to take her to a stall?" Mandy asked, still looking very alert for this time at night. when she reached into the cab and grabbed out a half-empty liter of coffee, i understood why. "sure!" i said, taking the leadrope, folding it into a figure eight, and leading Fly into the barn. I put her in the stall next to Blackthorne's, and they touched noses. Katie and Mandy kept talking out in the yard, but i was content to remove my new horse's halter, refill her water trough, and then just sit there and stare.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
i think that's all until monday for me! have fun, peeps!

Miley:
"uhh, no there is nothing about a boy. yup no boy at all." i said biting my tongue, shaking my hands, and twitching. "ok, i like Owen, and i kissed him on the cheek when i went to Berryhill to ride Stardust. but dont tell anyone Milly." i said confessing. i petted Stardust who started getting antsy when the new grey mare came in the barn. actually the new mare and Stardust looked like twins!

Mary Anne: I was almost drifting off to sleep land when I heard a trailer crunch into the yard and Arin squeal with delight! Her new horse must be here! I thought, but it was all I coud manage to peek around the barn wall before drifting off completely

Arin: Miley's Stardust started going a wee bit crazy once Fly was put into her stall. Blackthorne, another towering horse, seemed calmed by his new buddy, but Fly's lookalike wasn't too fond of her. Fly was a bit darker, had the trademark golden sheen of the Akhal-Teke, and at least a hand taller than Stardust, but they could still pass as relatives. "It's okay, sweetie!" i cooed, rubbing Fly's poll from my seat on the divider between Blackthorne and Fly's stalls. then, i heard something, a snippet of conversation filtering out from the main stable hall.....
"ok, i like Owen, and i kissed him on the cheek when i went to Berryhill to ride Stardust. but dont tell anyone, Milly."
It was Miley. that wouldn't bug me, right? then why were my cheeks heating up, my palms sweating, and my ears pounding with my pulse? it was true that Owen was the only guy i knew who wasn't spoken for... the only other was Jack, with the fractured leg, and i wasn't all that familiar with him, which meant i was probably dateless for the dance. Fly tossed her head to snap me out of my brooding ponderousness, and i hopped down from the wall after giving each of my horses a carrot. We'd see what happened tomorrow.... i had a feeling that it was going to be big whatever it was.

Milly: I smiled her and whispered. "I knew it!" I grinned widely then sobered. "I won't tell,Miley. I promise. You can count on your secret being safe with me." I promised and then rubbed on Stardust. "She looks just like the new horse." Is aid quietly almost my self.

Milly: I drew my brow down and felt the sense that I was being watched. "I know the feeling Miley. I once liked a guy that was dating a different girl and it was torture to me. I'm not saying it's that same for you because you don't know if Owen likes you or Arin." I smiled to soften my words and sighed quietly.

Katie: i checked my alarm clock... it read, in indiglo numbers, 11:11 pm. "make a wish, everybody! it's eleven eleven!" i called, honoring one of my few superstitions. i squeezed my eyes shut, wished for victory, and then crawled into my sleeping bag. "it's high time we got into bed. nighty-night!"
Trillium: "good idea!" i stifled yawn, and silently wished that i wouldn't be discovered as having, ahem, split personalities. i also slipped in a wish that i oculd get my own horse, after i proved that i could ride... i doubted that Katie would sell Panda, but you never knew. "'night, everyone! dream of beautiful horses!"
Arin: I heard Katie tell everyone in the main hall to make a wish... and then to go to bed. i hurried to my cot, removed my moccasin slippers, and wished that all my wildest dreams would come true. see, that's the way to get every one of your wishes, gauranteed. "sweet dreams!"
OOC: after we've all posted once, we can proceed to DRESS DAY!!!!!!!!!
