I was in the trailer.

I had got dressed up as a Cowboy.

"Katy, I'm scared." Miranda confessed.

"I'm not. Not even a little." I retorted.

I walked out of the trailer.

She followed me.

"What do you think?" I asked for Howard's opinion.

He crossed his arms against his chest.

"I think I should be the voice of reason." Howard gave his opinion.

"We're running out of time." I pointed out to him.

Howard looked behind himself.

There was a portable grill there.

"Hold on."

He lifted the lid off the portable grill.

Howard got some of the grease off the lid.

He rubbed his hands together.

Howard smeared the grease on my cheeks.

"You need gum." Miranda told me.

She pulled a piece of gum out.

"Yeah. Okay."

I took the piece of gum from Miranda.

I took the wrapper off of it.

I put the piece of gum in my mouth.

I pulled my black shirt collar up.

I pulled my black Cowboy hat down to hide my face.

We walked away from the trailer.

We were going to the Rodeo office to sign up.

"Wait here." Howard ordered us.

Howard

I walked into the Rodeo office.

"Here's your receipt. Good luck to you, partner." Wagner told another Cowboy.

"Thank you, sir."

"You bet."

I stood at the counter.

I rested my arm on the counter in a casual way.

"How you doing, Norbert?" He questioned.

I looked over my shoulder to see it was Norbert.

It was him.

"Oh, what you say, Wagner?"

I turned my head the other way so Norbert didn't recognize me.

"Hey, Sweetheart."

"Hiya, Norbert." The girl greeted him.

"Can I help you?" Wagner questioned.

I made sure Norbert was gone.

"Yeah. Uh.... I want to register. For an event."

I chuckled.

"You gonna tell me which one? Or do I have to read your mind?"

"The Wild Horse Race." I answered.

"Wild Horse Race."

I nodded my head.

"That takes a team of two." He pointed out.

"Mm-hmm. That's my partner. Outside."

I pointed outside where Katy was standing with Miranda.

She tipped her black Cowboy hat as a greeting.
