Owen:
i took a roundabout way to the soundbox above the covered arena. it was basked in shadows, lodged high above where the audience would usually sit. the teck lackey was boredly fiddling with voluke knobs on his keyboard. "want to get some coffee? i'll take over for a bit." i said. the sound guy gave me his headset and hornrim glasses, and sloped off to the break room. i put both parts of the disguise on and sat back in the chair, far away from anybody's line of vision, even if they cared to look. "testing, test-ting, 1,2,3!" i entoned through the microphone, in a deep voice. now, the fun begins...

Miley:
i jogged in to the arena on Stardust. i looked back at Rampage which i was ponying and he seemed bored and getting annoyed. "ok, ok Rampage. were done." i said dismounting Stardust and ground tying her i unhooked the lead rope on Rampage. i tossed it over to the side of the arena and mounted up on Rampage. all of a sudden he seemed tense and he began fidgeting. "hey boy are you ok?" i asked Rampage i squeezed my legs around Rampage and we jogged off and then moved into a canter around the arena. when i got to the other end i turned Rampage and then stopped him making him drag his back feet. "good Boy," i said patting him on the neck, then moving off into a walk. i practiced somemore drags with Rampage and then dismounted. i headed for the stables to look for the Tech guy and maybe a hot chocolat with caramel, whip and chocolate shavings on top. "yum!!!!!!" i screamed. i looked over my shoulder and saw Rampage and Stardust touching noses. "i wonder where my sister went. instead of heading to the Starbucks i jogged through the stalls in search of my sister and Caden. i saw him leading a Happy Appy to a stall near Justin's horses. "heyy Caden. have you seen my sister?" i asked he shook his head 'no.' "ahh man. i cant find her and i need help with Reining, well i fine with Reining. its, im trying to find a song to Rein to." i said Caden answered, "i couldnt help you with picking a song. give me a horse and i can do anything with. give me a song to do a routine to do, i cant do that." i answered, "ahh ok. well see ya." i said jogging off to the Starbucks.

Jack:
I rode up to the arena and reached down to open the gate to the ring, but sat back when it flew at my face. Miley walked out not seeing me at all and I grinned. I nudged Apache into the ring before the gate closed then looked back to see her talking to Caden. She looked frustated and I smiled. I looked up to the sound booth and called to the Tech. "Hey, could you play 'Ladies Love Country Boys' by Trace Adkins please?" I got the nod and waited for the music to come on. I gave one last look toward where Miley had been seeing that she wasn't there any more moved out and began the training.

Miley:
i entered the Starbucks cafe and ordered a hot chocolate with caramel, whip cream with chocolate shavings. i headed back to the arena and saw Jacky on Apache Warrior, the green broke horse i sold him. i climbed up onto the fence and sat down drinking my hot chocolate. Stardust and Rampage, dragging their reins walked over to me and nudged at my legs. i laughed a little and put my mug down on the top rail. i climbed off the fence and walked over to Rampage. he tossed his head in delight and i mounted back up on him. i walked him around the arena and then we jogged. we picked up a smooth canter and then slidded to a stop. i backed him up then spun him around and did the same thing again in the other direction. i patted him on his neck and we walked around the arena some more. i slaked my reins allowing Rampage to relax. "what song should we do Rampage?" i asked my horse. he snorted and tossed his mane. i giggled, and patted him on the neck somemore. "i already know what we are going to do for our routine but i have a special twist to it." i said to him. "i got it boy, how about 'Go', by Kate Kiefer." Rampage whinnied and tossed his head up and down in a 'yes' motion. "ok. when Jack is done we will work on our routine to 'Go'." i said to my big bay.

Jacky:
I finished with smooth slide stop. Apache and I walked to where Miley was and I waved. "Hey, so you gonna practice?" I asked as Apache made his noises toward Miley's mare. I tugged on his reins to stop him and he gave an offeneded noise. "You'll get over bud." I said and looked back to Miley shaking my head.

Miley:
"yeah, me and Rampage are going to be performing. i patted his neck and he was pinning his ears back, snorting, and clacking his teeth at Warrior. "Rampage, behave." i said tugging on his reins. "so how is Apache Warrior doing for you?" i asked Jack.

Owen:
from my seat in the shadows of the box, i stuck a thumbs-up out the wondow and played Jack's song. once he was done practicing and was chatting with Miley, i made my move.
instead of switching on "Go," i switched off the lights and turned on a slowly revolving disco ball. cheesy, i know, but the strobelights were broken. i flipped through radio channels until i found Jimmy Buffet's "Mademoiselle, Voulez-vous Danser?" perfect. "The laht done blown out!" i drawled in my fake voice. "Ah'll go get a bulb!" sticking to the shadows, i scurried over the bleachers to the emergency exit, still cloaked in darkness, and pounded down the fire escape. as i turned back to take one last look at my handiwork, i heard the faint strains of:
Madamoiselle, voulez-vous danser?
Take my hand, don't turn away
You've been sitting there all night long
I know that something must be wrong
Madamoiselle, voulez-vous danser?
A new moon has come out to play
Take my hand, step outside
These doors and windows open wide
The stars are out and shining, hear the south
wind sighing
It'll be okay...
...on va danser?

Miley:
i started talking to Jack and before i could ask to have my song on, the lights went out and a disco ball turned on. i laughed and blushed. "i didnt know that Berryhill had a disco ball." i said covering my smile. "you know its kinda romantic." i said to Jack, blushing somemore.

Jack:
I smiled and looked down. "I love him. He's done every thing I've ever asked of him. You did a great job." I said and Warrior shifted his legs causing me to be moved closer.

Owen:
without Jack or Miley's knowing, i shimmied up the fire escape to the light box with a steaming cup of black coffee. i had asked the real light guy to take another twenty minutes off- hopefully, the two would-be lovebirds would be thoroughly enough enthralled with each other to go to the dance together, and our mission would be accomplishe.d on silent feet (i was carrying my boots and tiptoeing in socks,) i peered out the window to see how things were going to pan out.

Miley:
i ducked my head and blushed. "thanks. i hope Warrior is everything you imagined. so are you going to the dance with anyone?" i asked Jack, while Rampage shook and lost balance and stepped even closer to Warrior.
