Amy and Spartan"C'mon, boy. You ready to relax a bit?"I asked my coal black gelding, my hand touching his neck fondly. I led him towards the paddocks, a light breeze catching in my blonde hair. Spartan gave a soft nicker, pushing his nose against my arm, eager to get out to the paddock. I opened the gate with much encouragment from Spartan, and shut it behind us before removing his halter. "Okay, off you go!"A smile lit up my face as I watched him plunge away, and give two bucks before galloping down the field. Soon enough he slowed before lowering his head to graze on the spring grass.

I was going to work out Harmony. I was just about to walk in the gate to catch her.
Then I realized I didn't have any carrots. Crap. Guess I'm going to have to delay the work out. Because if I pretend I have carrot, but don't, she's gonna KILL me. Honest.
I ran back to the barn to grab my carrot supply. I have to have a lot - Harmony loves carrots. Won't do anything unless she gets one. It's really weird.
I ran back out to paddocks. I grabbed a carrot and held it out over the fence. Harmony's chestnut figure appeared. Jeez, I swear she can smell a carrot a mile away.
Come on, Harm. Want a carrot?
...I bet if Harmony could talk, she'd be saying, "Well, duh." Of course.

I could see someone else from across the paddock. She ran back, then came back with lots of carrots in her hand. I watched her curiously, without making it too obvious.
Come on, Harm. Want a carrot?
I watched as she held it over the fence, then as Spartan trotted over, pushing past the other horse before grabbing the carrot that dangled in front of him.
"Spartan!"
I exclaimed, before running along side the fence to Spartan, and wrapping the lead around his neck. I turned to the person standing next to me.
"Sorry about that. "
I said with a laugh, brushing the hair from out of my eyes.

I couldn't help but snicker when the black gelding stole the carrot. Harmony's ears went back immediately, and she did a horse-snarl at the gelding. Insane little mare...
"Sorry 'bout that." A girl ran up, clipping the lead on the gelding. I smiled at her.
It's fine.
I glanced at Harmony, who still had her teeth bared. Okay, maybe not...
Well, to me, anyway. Harmony's always been crazy about her carrots.
I held out another carrot to her, and she took. I quickly clipped her lead on.

I let out a laugh when I saw the expression on the mare's face, then as her owner offered her another carrot, in which I held Spartan back. I then realized I was being sort of rude, and hadn't had the chance to indroduce myself.
"I'm Amy Green. This is Spartan."
I gave her a wide smile, I hadn't really gotten the chance to meet many people since I moved here a few days ago.

I grinned at the girl. Huh. I made someone laugh without having to trip over and curse the floor... Long story. But anyway. "I'm Amy Green. This is Spartan." I nodded. Always do that. Annoying habbit (really annoying one). Arabelle Smith. Aka R-Belle. And this crazy girl is Harmony.I held out my hand to be shaken. ((WHERE DID MY MUSE GO!?! ))

Arabelle Smith. Aka R-Belle. And this crazy girl is Harmony.
I smiled as I shook her hand, it was really great to meet someone around here. But I guess it was more of my fault, anyway. This was the first time I had actually gotten out and about.
"Great to meet you- and Harmony"
I added in the horse's name as I glanced at her, smiling.
"Have you lived around here long?"
I asked, curiousity getting the better of me.
[[Same place mine went. lol ]]

((Ssssstupid ghossssssst-y-nesssssssss.))
I grinned at her. "Have you lived around here long?"
Nah. Moved here about a month ago.
I smiled at her, and brought Harmony. She was looking at me expectantly. Oh, jeez. She expects a carrot for everything, doesn't she?
((Appartently being a ghossssst doesssssn't help your mussssse.))

[[awwe lol]]

I nodded, and watched as Harmony looked at her as if she expected something. Often like Spartan did. It was either this, or a reward in his mind of some kind. It was funny how the two were alike in some ways.
"I just moved here"

"I just moved here." I nodded.
Explains why I haven't seen you before.
I blushed, thinking back to why I had seen everybody. Tip: Don't start screaming at the floor after you face plant on to it.
...Believe me, you do not want to know why I've seen basically everybody around here.

I gave a soft laugh. Hm. Tempting to ask. But maybe I should just take her advice, and not ask? But that wasn't really like me either.
"Who else lives around here?"
I asked instead of getting right to the point.

"Who else lives around here?" ...I said I saw them, not knew them. Gosh!
The only people I know well are my friends. Oh any my pain-in-the-behind of a cousin, Adrian.
Harmony bared her teeth, looking rather like she was grimacing, at Adrian's name, just like I taught her. Smart little thing.
Good girl.
I handed her a carrot.

I laughed as her mare gave a grimacing look, something I guessed that her owner had taught her to do. Good girl
Ahh. I see."
I smiled as she gave the mare another carrot, then looked at the expression on Spartan's face, as if he was saying, 'what did she do to deserve another?' I rubbed him lovingly on the forehead, before digging around in my pocket, luckily finding a treat in there.
I handed it to him, and he took it greadily, almost smug.

"Hey, Bellsie!" I turned around, barely containing a growl. No. Just... no. You do not call me Bellsie unless you have a death wish. Adrian was jogging along the fence.
What are you doing here, Adrian? I thought you'd be with Ana.
You're still planning to strangle us, aren't you? he asked.
Nooo, just you. It's not Ana's fault.

I listened to there banter, holding in a laugh. I guess this was Adrian.
"You must be Adrian."
I said with a soft laugh, my eyes soft as I looked up at him, my hand running through Spartan's mane affectionately.
