Horses [can you tell we're running out of ideas?]

[kiwi]

Katie arrived at the edge of the forest, waiting for Jeremy and Todd. She had two black horses and a white horse waiting for them. She started to kind of 'groom' the white one which is automatically hers and is called Shadowfax coz you can't have a white horse and NOT call it that.

[Sharkbait]

((No, you can't have a white horse without naming it Shadowfax... That is completely true.))

Todd approaches Katie, practically dragging Jeremy along. Jeremy, who was blindfolded, was reluctant to come. "What if I don't like this surprise?" "Trust me, Jeremy, you will." As they got closer, Todd pulled off the blindfold and Jeremy stood there, staring at the horses.

[kiwi]

"Ta da!" Katie said, 'presenting' the horses. "What d'you think? And the white one is mine before you say anything."

[Sharkbait]

"I wasn't planning on taking the white one," Jeremy says as he approaches one of the black ones. "His was black, so don't worry about it," Todd says, going to the remaining horse.

[kiwi]

"Groovy." Katie got up on her's. "We'd better get going because otherwise we'll get detention for being the grounds at night..."

[Sharkbait]

Jeremy mounted his horse and took off at a trot as Todd was mounting his horse. "Don't worry... He's always done that. Especially when he's told to stay with the person he's riding with."

[kiwi]

Katie took off and caught up with Jeremy, leaving poor Todd behind. "So, what d'you think?"

[Sharkbait]

Todd shrugs and lets his horse go at whatever pace it felt like, which turns out to be a leisurely walk. Jeremy looks over at Katie then back at where he was going. "Not as good as at home, but it's nice to be able to do again."

[kiwi]

"Not as good as at home? I'm sorry that we can't live to your standard...this is as good as it will get..." Katie said, half joking half not.

[Sharkbait]

Jeremy gives a week laugh. "Sorry, it's just that this is the first time I've gone riding away from home and that's all I have to compare it with."

[kiwi]

"Guess you have a point..." Katie said, looking down at her horse. "What was it like living there? I mean, we've never really had a chance to talk at all so... yeah, what was it like being in a castle and having everything you want when you snap your fingers?"

[Sharkbait]

"Disappointing. Since with that, you also get parents who hate you, servants like Todd, rules and limitations galore, and did I mention expectations that no person could possibly live up to?" Jeremy sighs. "In ways, I miss it, though."

[kiwi]

"You still have Todd..." Katie said, trying to stay possitive but also slightly taking the piss.

[Sharkbait]

"Yeah.... At least he's not as much of an ass as he used to be..."

[kiwi]

"He was a bigger arse than he is now?!" Katie said, looking at Jeremy.

[Sharkbait]

"I can hear you, you know!" Todd says from a ways behind them. "Are we caring?" Jeremy yells back.

[kiwi]

Katie laughed, just being with them, horse riding and seeing the beautiful scenery made Katie in a very good moooooooood.

[Sharkbait]

((...I think we may need to have a new ship in that thread of yours...))

Todd sighs, exasperated, but glad that Jeremy was feeling better. "So, you like horses, then?" Jeremy asks Katie.

[kiwi]

[what one?]
"I love them, I had one when I was little but my dad had to get rid of it after my mum died... he never told me the reason why..." Katie looked down at her horse, slightly upset. But she tried to stay possitive and smiled at Jeremy then looked back out to the scenery.

[Sharkbait]

((Katie/Jeremy))

"My horse died when I was little, so I guess I can almost say I know the feeling."
