When You're By My Side Centaurworld Horse X OC Alexis

Cataur Valley

"You want the other one!?" Zulius shouts as he makes some cataurs run after throwing his slipper at them.

"Nice shot Zulius." Alexis says as she smiles.

"I told you they were going to be extra. They hate shoes. Why are yous staring at me like that? I can feel you judging me from all the way over here." Zulius says as he looks annoyedly at the group.

"Whoa. Whoa. It's okay. We're not judging. We're just... Are those hair rollers?" Horse asks as she chuckles slightly.

"Anyway this is Cataur Valley. I know the Shaman here. Real piece of work. We'd be better off stealing the key piece and getting out of here." Zulius says as he begins walking.

"Go on." Glendale says before Alexis picks her up in vines.

"Don't even think about it Glendale." Alexis says as she and Wammawink look at Glendale.

"Yes after last time being in prison once was enough. No one is stealing anything. No one." Wammawink says before the group get to moving.

*Timeskip*

"Ugh. I do not care for cats. They're so stuck up." Alexis says as she is walking beside Horse looking at the cataurs.

"Afraid of cats are we?" Horse asks as she smiles at Alexis causing her to blush.

"No. I just don't like them. Besides canines and felines don't get along anyway." Alexis says as she looks away.

"Sure. Anyway we gotta move this thing along. Zulius where is the Shaman?" Horse asks.

"Didn't you hear what they said back there? Every day at half past two... Get out of here! You have all the glitter in the world but you have no souls." Zulius says as he chases off some cataurs.

"Okay calm down. So you're um wearing robes now?" Horse asks as Zulius looks at her.

"So you're wearing robes now. Yes! It's comfortable." Zulius says annoyedly.

"Where is the Shaman?" Horse asks.

"You mean Johnny Teatime of Johnny Teatime Be Best Competition thing? Everyday they have a competition and Johnny Teatime the Shaman picks a winner! Whether or not the winner actually deserves it no matter how hard you worked but then the winner gets to take home the sash." Zulius says.

"A sash is a diagonal belt on its way to a party." Durpleton says as Alexis looks at him.

"Uh Durpleton... Second thought. Nevermind." Alexis says.

"And they do this everyday?" Horse asks curiously.

"Why yes. We do this everyday." A cataur says as he and some other cataurs start singing about the competition and why it was started as the group follow them into an arena area.

"Bravo!" Wammawink says happily as she claps.

"Hey guys! I found a poster. It says they do this everyday.

"We know Durpleton. The cataurs just want a whole song about it. We were right there!" Zulius says as he looks even worse than before.

"Is it just me or has Zulius been having a mental breakdown since we've been here." Ched says.

"Wait. Hold on. My key piece! Oh my ticket home can not possibly be part of a frivolous laser light show beauty pageant thingy!" Horse shouts in alarm as she sees the poster.

"So frivolous! Who would even?" Zulius asks as he gives a nervous look.

"Look Horse. It's your key piece!" Durpleton says as he points at the poster.

"Zulius where is the Shaman? I don't have any time for this nonsense." Horse says worriedly as she looks at Zulius she collapses.

"Horse are you okay?" Alexis asks as she looks at Horse.

"What the heck just happened? Every molecule in my body is on fire right now. Zulius I don't know what you're doing but stop doing that. It hurts so bad. Where is the Shaman!?" Horse asks annoyedly as she goes over to Zulius.

"Okay, okay! I was gonna tell I can be helpful because sometimes I want to be three dimensional. The sash is up there. But Johnny's not gonna let you- Horse! Hey! I warned ya!" Zulius says as Horse runs off toward the building.

"This is not gonna end well." Alexis says as she shakes her head before Horse gets blasted out of the building and lands on the ground.

"Don't you dare think that was flying because it definitely wasn't Horse." Ched says as he laughs and goes over to Horse as she stands up.

"Cuteness has a weapon? Oh no he didn't." Horse says angrily.

"Uh Horse maybe we should- And there she goes again." Alexis says as Horse runs off to the building only to get blasted back down onto the ground each time she goes back up to the top of the building.

"Uh can't get the sash that way Horse." Ched says.

"I know!" Horse says annoyedly.

"Gotta admire your persistence though." Alexis says as she smiles.

"Does this mean that someone has to win the sash!? I mean I'm totally unprepared but if someone-" Zulius then gets cut off as a tiger cataur and two twin cataurs come over.

"Greetings riffraff. Yes it's your one and only raining champ. Splendib." The tiger cataur says as Johnny gives him the sash as some cataurs cheer happily.

"Boo! No one's impressed. Well look what the cat dragged in. Kale, Shar and Splendib." Zulius says annoyedly.

"Zulius." Splendib says.

"Uh Zulius do you know these guys?" Alexis asks.

"Yeah what is going on?" Horse asks.

"What's the beef?" Ched asks before Splendib and Zulius begin singing about not knowing each other.

"You know what? I think they really do know each other." Wammawink says.

"I'm disqualified because of my age!? Okay. What's the age limit?" Zulius asks.

"Whatever age all of this is. It's for the best. We don't want what happened last time to happen again do we?" Splendib asks as he and Zulius continue to argue before Splendib and his gitter cats leave.

"So if Zulius is too old-" Horse then gets cut off by an angry Zulius.

"What!?'" Zulius asks as he looks at Horse.

"If Zulius is disqualified then one of you... Okay. I'll do it." Horse says reluctantly.

"You're gonna enter the competition?" Alexis asks in surprise.

"I don't like it but I have to do whatever it takes to get back home Rider." Horse says before Zulius hugs her.

"Come. We have much work to do." Zulius says as he walks off with Horse.

"I'll go with them. Just to make sure Zulius doesn't overstep any boundaries." Alexis says as she walks off.
