The zap was loud and Sapnap screamed, quickly removing his hand from the electric fence and ran to hide behind his mother's legs. Dream laughed quietly at his friends foolishness and went back to watching the cows roam with their calves. He heard footsteps getting louder from behind him. "You know Clay," his mother started, Dream visibly cringed at the usage of his real name. His mother sighed and continued, "some day, you and Sapnap will be out catching the cows together." She remarked, holding Dream's sister, Drista, close to her side. Dream looked up at his mother, "will I really mom?" He asked genuinely, she smiled and nodded at her son as his face grew into the same smile that showed his beautiful features.

His mother went back inside with Sapnap's mother and Drista as Dream and Sapnap continued to watch the cows start to lay down in the field. Dream and Sapnap exchanged excited glances as the waited for their fathers to come rushing out, mounted on their stallion's backs.

It was exactly how they remembered, the to strong men coming galloping out from behind the hills and tree, ropes in hand as they herd the cows. The cows immediately got up and ran towards the barn, in fear that they would be caught by the thick ropes that the strong men swung them above their heads.

The sunset sent out an illuminating glow, making the action all roll out as dark silhouettes. It was beautiful.

Dream's mother was right. He couldn't wait to be the one catching the cows.
