Kasey lead Braden on a lounging line and Hayden stood in the corner and watched. " Can you keep him at a trot, for about a hour?" He asked. " An hour? Isent that a bit long?" Kasey exclaimed. " He can do it, Hes training for a long distance endurace race across america. The prise is ten houndred thousand dollers. " Hayden explained.

Kasey noticed Mercades walk in, and she slowed Braden down and gave the lead to Hayden. " i'll be right back." She said and she walked into the tack room. " Hey, are you allright. I herd what happend. Maybe you should get into something so GQ can run fast and hard, because that what he seems to like." Kasey said trying to chear Meacades up.

Hayden herd Jake and tuned. " I did what?" He simply asked. Knowing that he dident do anything, he had a ball of fury raging inside of him, ready to let out on Jake. But he decided to wait and see, so Hayden took a deep breath.

Mercedes looked up, and smiled weakly.
"I'm ok... just a bit frustrated. Maybe you're right. He'd make a good race horse, I think. However, he isn't pure Arabian to be the Arabian races. I want to do cross country, but he gets out of control once he lands. I'll work on him..." her voice trailed as she noticed the two boys bickering. She stood and walked towards them.
"I dont think he tried to..." Mercedes said quietly. She didnt want Jake against her... nor Hayden. But she didnt want them fighting either.

Kasey and Hayden both relaxed as Jake walk out. Kasey took the lounge line from Hayden and continued to work Braden. They both walked to the stall, and Hayden untacked Braden and walked him around the arena to cool him off. Kasey stood at Alouette stall, deep in thought, talking to Alouette. " Do you think he likes me?" She mutterd. She had been so busy with things, that she just now relised that she had mud on her side, from the fall. Kasey feed Alouette a carrot, and walked around doing barn chorse to earn extra money.

Alouette moved her bedding around, so she can lay down. Hayden put Braden back in his stall and waited for Kasey to come and grab her thigs to leave.

Once Kasey was finished with some chores. She saw Hayden sitting on a bench by Alouette's stall, and they both smiled. Kasey walked into Alouette's stall and made her get up. Checking if Alouette had colic, she dident. " Hey, Kasey. I was wondering if you will like to go to the movies with me?" Hayden asked " Sure, that will be great?" Kasey blushed. " What time?" " I'll be at your house at 7." " See you then."

((Sorry I haven't been here for awhile...))

Her rider having gone home for the day, Cerena looked out over the door to her stall to listen to the commotion taking place. She thought about while munching on her hay and then backed into her stall again shaking her head, as if saying,
"Now what are they up to?" She snorted and then went back to her hay, awaiting her riders arrival.
