Ethan stood outside of Lady's stall. She stood there calmly, enjoying being petted by him. He grabbed his brush and entered the stall. He brushed her side, getting some of the dirt off of her. "How is the baby, girl?" He asked her. Ethan tried to make her as comfortable as possible before the foal came. Moving Lady and the other horses around a lot for the past couple of years have put stress on her. Ethan walked out of the stall to grab the hoof pick. He looked up towards the entrance and saw a girl with blonde hair enter the barn. Ethan couldn't take his eyes off of her. "Wow," he whispered.

Allison walked into the barn to go check on Finn. She headed right for his stall and smiled when he came up to see her. "Hey Finn." She opened the door and laughed when he scratched his head on her. Reaching her hand up, she stroked his forelock and twined her fingers around it. He was soft and clean from staying in his stall at night.

Ethan saw the girl go to a stall. He got up and looked towards Lady. She was sleeping, and Ethan laughed a little. He took a deep breath, and walked towards the girl. He got more and more nervous as he got closer. He never got nervous around girls. When Ethan reached her, he patted the horse and said, "Hey there, I'm Ethan." He tried to act smooth, and he smiled lightly at her, one of his flirty smiles he used.

Finn snorted when Ethan patted him. Allison turned around to see who's voice it was. There was a boy standing there that she had never seen before. He must have been a new student. She raised her eyebrows and laughed when he tried to act cool. "Really?" She watched him to see what his reaction would be. Alli always thought it was funny when guys acted like that. "I'm Allison."

Ethan could feel his face get pink, and he quickly took his hand off the horse. "It's nice to meet you," Ethan said. He didn't know what else to say, and he felt awkward. "Have you been riding long?" The question came out fast, and Ethan mentally slapped himself for not being cool. He forced a smile to cover up how fast he asked the question.

Allison grinned when he stumbled for words, "10 years, what about you?" Her eyes shone green today to match her green tee-shirt and black sunglasses with green rims. Her jeans were dark blue and were tucked under her chaps and boots. She watched Ethan with interest, he seemed to know she didn't care for his "cool" side.

"Well, this is my 2nd day here." Ethan laughed a little, and pulled his beanie. He wore dark blue pants with a black shirt. He stood up straight, and he was a little bit taller than Allison. "I just moved here with my horses." He motioned towards Lady, his beloved QH who would be having a foal soon. His other horses were in the pastures, and another was in a different stable because of his problems.

"I have been riding here for about a year. Maybe a little over that. Is your horse pregnant?" Allison could tell by Lady's size that she was going to be foaling soon. That would explain why Ethan was keeping her extra clean.

"Yes, anyday now she will be giving birth." Ethan looked at Allison's horse and said, "Aren't you going to introduce me to your horse?" He winked at her and smiled softly.

Allison shot him a "I'm not buying you" look and rolled her eyes, "This is Finn. He is an appendix quarter horse throughbred cross." Alli put his bridle on and then turned to the boy, "I am going for a ride on the trails."

"Maybe I could come with you?" Ethan sounded desperate now, and he smiled to cover it up. "It's gotta be boring to ride alone on the trails."

"Not really but I guess you can come. Who are you going to ride?" Allison walked Finn into the isle and threw herself up and onto his bare back. She looked down at the boy wondering who he would ride since his mare was pregnant.

"I have a horse in the pastures right now I can ride. I'll go grab him." Ethan ran to go get his bridle, then ran to the pastures to get Comanche. When he came back, he climbed on Comanche's bare back too. He said, "This is Comanche. He is my english horse."

Allison nodded and walked on, "Alright let's go." She headed for the trails on the soft back of her gelding.

Ethan nodded, and slightly kicked Comanche into a walk. He didn't know what to say to Allison, and he again felt awkward. He said, "So, my horse Lady will be having triplets. Would you like to help me take care of them? I have other horses to take care of right now and taking care of triplet foals will be a lot to do. I will need some help." He prayed mentally that Allison would say yes. Well, who wouldn't want to help take care of foals?

(Super?)
Ethan patted Comanche, surprised that he was doing well on the trails. He waited for Allison to answer.

(So so so so sorry!! I forgot about this!)
Allison watched him for a second, knowing it was an excuse to get closer to her. She really did love foals though, "Sure. Wow that really rare. Most people only get one or two foals."

(Haha, quite alright!)
"Yeah, it is," Ethan said. "I just hope she will be okay. I mean, most mothers don't even survive twins." Ethan didn't want to think about Lady dieing during birth. He loved her too much for her to die.

"She will be fine." Allison smiled when she was sure that Ethan couldn't see her. She didn't want him to get any ideas.

Ethan nodded and then rode up beside her. He caught a quick glimpse of her smile. "Got you to smile," he said teasingly.

Allison raised her eyebrows and looked at him before squeezing Finn and cantering ahead.

Ethan pushed Comanche into a canter, trying to catch up to her. Comanche had a slower canter, though, and he was very behind.

Allison laughed and slowed down to match his speed. "Slow poke." She teased Ethan and smiled at him. He was kind of rubbing off on her now.

"Not for long," Ethan said. He kicked Comanche to a gallop, and the horse soon took off. Ethan laughed and turned his head slightly to see if Allison and Finn were catching up. "Good boy, Comanche!"

Allison watched them speed off and soon had Finn flying behind them. Edging him closer and closer, she came up right beside him and took her feet out of the stirrups. Knotting the reins, she vaulted onto Comanche's back behind Ethan. She balanced and let him have the enjoyment of having her hands on his waist.

Ethan looked behind him to see Allison on the back of Comanche. He laughed and kicked Comanche faster. Comanche went faster, coming up towards a log. "Hold on," he said, and leaned forwards a bit to make it over the log succesfully.

"Ethan!" Allison laughed and screamed at once, holding on tight to his shirt. She also leaned as much forward as she could as not to hurt Comanche. Finn galloped behind them and lept over the log gracefully.
