Ranboo POV

I got up and got dressed quickly I didn't even glance at the time, I got down the steps ate a quick meal and me a Techno headed off to the stockyards, we drove a large truck pulling a trailer we got to the stockyards in 30 mins maybe. We walked through a lot of animals in smaller pens people were everywhere, but I noticed there weren't any hybrids here, everyone was a human. We came up to a man that greeted Techno they talked and I was looking at a horse. It was a large dark dapple gray horse. It looked a bit younger it looked to be in poor condition scars ranged its body and its hooves were over grown. Its eyes were locked on mine thats when I noticed she was half blind.

"What horse you looking at there kid?" the man talking to Techno said I looked to him for a moment and he stood next to me.

"Thats Candy, shes a percheron, Tennessee walking horse cross, she's broke as a joke, and shes 7, I hate to sell her but I don't have time to ride her."

"How much are you asking for her?" Techno spoke up from behind me as I petted her nose.

"2,000 right now. You won't find a kinder horse then her, she isn't the fastest, shes not to nicest looking and she was a plow horse but she can teach anyone to ride and she's sweet as she can be to people."

"We will take her."

We walked away from that place with 4 horses, a chestnut colored quarter horse draft cross named Carl for Techno, a smaller brown dapple Quarter horse named Brownie and a sassy palomino Quarter horse named Princess. I was pleased we got home and sorted them out and took out some old saddles and did some tack fitting after I learned the basics from Techno, left, right, speed up, slow down. I was more then excited then to go out into the forest and ride for hours seeing things no one else would. I took her through the gate and we walked off into a older overgrown trail we walked for maybe 15 minutes seeing birds and I talked to her, well more like myself. We walked to the top of a hill to to find a large clearing the stretched for miles there was a large deer and 2 baby fawns running around her they took off into the forest I kicked to her sides and we took off, we weren't running hard or fast but it was running that was enough for me I felt, free. Like i had nothing to worry about anymore. She then cut through the forest hopping over tree roots and rocks and came to a stop at a cliff there was a water fal coming out from a spring in the side of the cliff. I looked in awe and she swatted at flies around us, we began to walk the trail back home, we ran a bit more, we walked a bit as well. She was rather calm. I put her put in the felid and fed her a square bale of hay and went inside.

"Hey Ranboo!'' It was Phil.

"Tubbo and his mother invited you to a boat ride, they are going to a Island." I smiled I would get to spend more time with Tubbo. Who happens to be my best friend.

"Sure i would love to go!." he smiled a texted someone on his phone

"Ok they will be here tomorrow Moring" I took a shower and asked about the boat trip as we ate cookies watching a movie on the TV, Phil asked if anyone wanted to go. Tommy got sea sick easily, Wilbur had a date with someone, Techno had plans with riding horses, Phil wanted to stay home with the kids. So its just me Tubbo and a huge body of salt water. Great.after dinner I went to sleep.

I rolled over and got up and got dressed I didnt need to pack much just some extra clothing I got my backpack and placed it over my shoulder and Phil walked into my room.

"Ranboo get ready -oh you are ready." he laughed and leaned on the door way

"Well come down and eat please." I followed him as we went down the steps I saw he had fixed me a plate of food.

"Thanks dad!" I smiled and then I realized what I said.

"I- I mean Phil." he shot me a smiled and giggled.

"You can call me dad Im fine with it Ran." Phil sat down next to me as I ate on my toast I was so nervous if the boat were to sink I would die a painful death because of my allergy to water.

"You ok Ranboo?." I guess he had caught on.

"Yeah I'm ok sorry to worry you Phil"

"You don't have to go if you don't want to."

"I do, I want to go." he smiled, I stood up and walked to the door as the sound of a car was outside, Phil followed. an unfamiliar car pulled up in the driveway it was a small black car Tubbo stepped out he walked over to me.

"Are you ready?". He was smiling widely at me I had to look down to see him he was tiny when he stood in front of me. I didn't realize but I was already in the car I guess I zoned out only to see the person in the front had ram horns like Tubbo. She looked nice.

"hi Ranboo I'm Puffy!." she said with a smile I could see it in the mirror of her car. so this was Tubbos mother, hm. Well she seems nice so its ok, or I think she's nice. maybe I'm trusting her to fast what if she is mean?, what if she's mean to Tubbo in private maybe that's why Tubbo comes over so often to get away from her? Ugh now my head hurts.

"You ok boss man?" Tubbo asked tugging on my shirt I didnt feel like talking I felt light headed almost, a bad feeling in my stomach like something bad was going to happen. I just nodded yes and rested my head onto the window. Then the car came to a stop and I woke up only to be a few feet away from a boat, I wasn't in the car anymore. How did I get here? now it had set in I really hated the idea of this but I don't want to back out on Tubbo, I would feel bad. Now Im on the boat. Tubbo leaded me to a trap door and down some ladder to below the deck. There were 2 small white beds up against the back wall of the ship strapped to the flooring as well as a kitchen on the opposite side, I sat on one of the beds and wrote in my memory book. I sighed and laid down in the bed, everything was fuzzy. I felt like throwing up.

"Ranboo are you taking a nap?." Tubbo asked in a sweet voice walking up to me, I was curled up in a ball on my bed.

"Yeah, Why?." I slightly opened my eyes looking at the goat hybrid standing next to my bed

"I might do the same the drive was tiring it was a hour long drive here and the start messes my stomach up." Tubbo sat on my bed and laid down next to me, I
