Sunny giggled, and just then . . .

Becky: "H'lo? Oh! There y'all are! We're saddl'n up!"

The southern girl poked her head into the doorway.

Sunny: "Becky!! The kittens opened their eyes, 'an Jasmine 'an Orion 'an I named them 'an stuff!"

Jasmine nodded with a slight smile, standing up, brushing herself off.

Jasmine: "We did. I can't wait to get out though."

Orion stood after her, keeping a careful eye on Sunny.

Jasmine: "Who all's going out?"

Becky: "Well, ah convinced Akane, Ariel, Angelah, tha' Daniel fella, but there's always room fo' three more!"

Jasmine: "No convincing needed here. I want to get going. I haven't been riding on forever."

Orion smiled at her enthusiasm.

Orion: "It'd be nice . . ."

Becky: "Okay! We're saddl'n up!"

Sunny: "I'm coming toooo!"

Becky laughed, delighted at the girl’s obvious excitement.

Becky: "All righ'!"

She led them into the barn, and she almost doubled over at the sight of an overwhelmed Daniel staring at a roan-coloured horse.

Becky: "M-meet Goliath!"

She told him, chuckling at his expression.

Daniel: "Goliath is right! What are you feeding these beasts?"

He shrieked, recoiling from the horse, wary of it like it would suddenly sever his head from his body.

Becky: "Oh, jest oats 'an a 'lil barlay."

She patted his shoulder, trying to comfort him, but to no avail.

Becky: "Now uh, anyone need 'elp mount'n? Ah'll give some instructions 'an saftay once we git on 'th trails."

Daniel frowned at her statement.

Daniel: "Help? Is your question a joke? How do you even got on one of these things?"

Jasmine smiled weakly, shaking her head. Typical Daniel. At least, when he was out of his environment. If he wasn’t somewhere clean where he was surrounded by pens and technology, he was practically lost.

Jasmine: "I'll be fine . . . Just point me to who I'm going with."

Orion nodded his agreement.

Orion: "I'm sure I can manage as well, Becky. Just need to know which horse."

Becky: "Well . . ."

She sized them up for horse compatibility.

Becy: "Jasmine, you'll ride on Elvis, 'an Orion can ride on Darth Vadah."

She led the pitch black horse out if the stall and saddled him up. Akane was going with Persona, though couldn't mount her . . . Until Becky walked over and helped him. A blush crossed his face. Sunny easily mounted Sydes, a helmet buckled and giggling.

Sunny: "Hey!"

She exclaimed, looking over at Daniel.

Sunny: "Have ya ever seen a rattlesnake b'fore?!"

Daniel: "No!"

He flinched at the very thought.

Daniel: "And I don't plan on starting today!"
