Brinngg!!!
My cell phone rang. It was my cousin/best friend Lillian. As soon as i pick up the phone in Lillian's usual fashion she says,”Summer we’re going to a party” and i reply in my usual fashion, “Absolutely not” “You always say no pleeeease,” she wines “what if i bring you to the bookstore after valentine's day she asks pleadingly. “Ok fine” i replied “but you can't always bribe me with books you know.” “Yes I can,” she says laughing. “I'll pick you up tomorrow night at 8.” “ok i'll be ready but we’re taking my pickup truck, deal?” “Deal” she replied. We said our goodbyes and hung up.
The next evening

I was heading back to the barn on my retired barrel racing horse Daisy, when I heard beeping at the main gate “I must have forgotten to unlock the gate this morning” I muttered to daisy. Then I looked at my watch. “ oh wow” I exclaim “it's already 7:30. We'd better hurry Daisy if we want to be ready on time for Lillian's party. I look at Daisy and ask “Do you want to run?” her ears immediately perked up and we took off. I barely had enough time to grab onto her mane ,as I was riding bareback. The wind is billowing my hair behind me and I'm dodging the autumn trees and bushes as best I can, as daisy’s hooves crunch down on the already fallen autumn leaves. We skidded to a stop once I reached the gate. I unlocked and opened the gate and saw that it was Lillian's car. “You’re here early” I say as Lillian is rolling down her window. “Yeah I wanted to make sure that you were ready in time because I don't want to be late.”  “Ok yeah that's fine. All I have to do is put away Daisy and I'll be ready, "I replied enthusiastically. “Ok i'll meet you at the barn” Lillian said as she was driving back up to the barn.I hopped on Daisy and headed to the barn.  “Stop flirting with Connor," I called as I put Daisy in her stall. “He's my Ranch hand and he's gay for the last time.” “ I know, '' she says as she heads over to Daisy stall. That's why I practice flirting with him, she says with a laugh. Now are you ready?” “Yeah, let's get this over with" I said dramatically “That's a spirit” she said enthusiastically.

We pull up to the party “It’s at a tattoo shop?” i ask “Yeah it's a tattoo party” she says casually. “How come you didn't tell me that? '' I exclaimed as I parked the truck. “Please” she said “you already agreed to go and we drove all the way here.” “Fine,” I replied as I got out of the truck. “Yay" she said excitedly as she walked into the shop”this is going tobe so much fun.

We enter the tattoo shop and no one is there except for the tattoo artists. I ask Lillian “Are we here early?” As I looked over to Lillian's face she had this conspiring look on it. “Weeeell” she “You’re always saying how much you've been wanting a tattoo and now i want one too, but my mom would never sign the papers so i was thinking that maybe you could?” she looked at me pleadingly “Absolutely not your mom would kill me” i exclaim “but i have always wanted one” i murmured to myself. I thought about it for a couple minutes. I sighed and said “how about this, i'll get my tattoo and i pay for and let you get a henna tattoo,how does that sound?” “find shes say melodramatically.

So she told the tattoo artist who introduced us to him saying his name was Doc. He was a funny guy with his tattoos and grandpa personality. Lillian told Doc to give her a tattoo of the McDonalds sign. “What?” she said as i started laughing. “It's only going to last a couple weeks.” I got the word harmony wrapped around my wrist in cursive. “I LOVE IT!!!” Lillian exclaimed “way better than mine” “it is pretty nice right.” I said excitedly, “I guess going to this “party” wasn't such a bad idea after all.” We then paid Doc and thanked him for the wonderful work.

I drove Lillian back to the barn so she could pick up her car. We hugged goodnight and she drove off. I lock the main gate and walk up the long driveway to the barn. I head into the barn with the plan of cleaning up and getting the horses ready for the night. I opened the heavy barn doors and to my surprise the barn was spotless and the horses were set for the night. “Thank you Connor!” I call up the stairs to the loft as I head to Daisy's stall. “No problem” Connor says as he walks down the stairs.  “Also I had a quick question for you” He says hestainly as I'm petting Daisy's neck. “What's up?” I say. “So my brother Aston needs a job and I was wondering if you were able to hire him if you needed more help, no pressure or anything.” he said quickly. I look around at my almost 20 horses in my boarding barn. “Of course he can come,” I say with a laugh “the more the merrier.” “Great,” Connor replies, "I'll call him tonight.” “Tell him to come tomorrow around 8am no one will be here since it's valentine's day” “ great goodnight i'll see you tomorrow” connor calls as i started walking out of the barn “goodnight” i say as i push the heavy barn doors shut and lock them.
