«Hi, you were incredible» Ginny said as Andie joined the bunch in the crowd. «Yeah, I'm honestly impressed» Katie smiled her big smile. «How was the horse?» Flavio asked «one of the coolest horses I've ever ridden. She was really awake and she knew her mission. Thomas bought her» Andie smiled «really?» Ginny looked at her with big eyes «he did» «bringing her to the new job?» Ginny asked «yeah, but his new boss really wanted her, and then he just bought her. So hopefully he still has a job» Andie laughed a little. «Are the competition over?» Una asked as they started to re-arrange the arena. «Yeah, they are getting ready for bronc rides, the thing I hate the most about Rodeos» Andie answered. «That means time to get some food?» Manny shipped in «I wish» Andie rolled her eyes «Damian, the idiot he is lost a bet, so he is entering the ride. He is drawing the horse now and then he'll be out.» «WHAT?» Ginny, Una, Katie and Anna said at the same time «isn't that just dangerous?» Anna asked «yeah, and cruel. Right now I'm so angry with him that I can't put it in to words, but I have to watch» Andie leaned over the fence. «So I can know if the gets hurt» she sighed.

«Next up we'll have Damian Baker» they annouced and Andie felt butterflies in her stomach. Without noticing she had reached for Flavio's hand and held tight. He let her, Anna noticed and tried to stand right behind them so Katie or anyone else wouldn't notice. The gate opened and in came a kicking and bucking bronc with Damian on top, holding on with one hand. When 10 seconds were on the clock he flew up in the air and landed face down, the rodeo clowns were running towards him, but he stood up on his own. People screamed and clapped. Damian smiled and waved to everyone and he blew a kiss for Andie «idiot» she whispered, but the AEC-crew heard. «I'm hungry, now can we go eat somewhere?» Manny asked «yes» Andie agreed and they all started to walk towards a big steak house. «I bet it's going to be crowded» Una said as they tried to get through all the people. As they were walking Hannah came in sight. «Where are you going?» She asked and quickly grabbed Flavios hand. «To eat» Flavio said «I just ate» she pouted her lips «we didn't» he answered cold back at her «I'll join you anyway» she smiled. They got in line and Andie's phone rang. «Andie» she said as she answered. It was Damian «we are in line at the steak house» she said, everyone could hear she was a little upset with him. «Whatever» she said as she hung up. Three minutes later they all got joined by Thomas and Damian. «Damian Baker?» The waiter at the entrance shouted «and Roo?» He said as he noticed Andie as well. «Come on in, I'm sure there is a table with your name on» he said and waved them all in front of the line. Thomas gave him a friendly pat on the shoulder, the same did Damian. Andie couldn't quite figure out who he was, but she smiled at him like she did.

«I'm sorry I did the bronc ride» Damian said and kissed Andie on the cheek «yeah, I hope you are. That is just one of the most stupid things you have ever done» she took a sip of her beer. «You better not piss off Andie» Thomas laughed a little «you might not get any» he said and felt Andie kick him under the table. The others laughed. «Was that all you were supposed to compete in?» Katie asked Damian «no, tomorrow I have a single roping and pole bending actually. Now that I have my points from my team roping I might have a chance in the single roping» «really?» Andie looked at him. «What do you mean by that?» He looked at her with big eyes. «Thomas, is Sugar Rush being used tomorrow?» «No» he answered with his mouth full off burger. «Because your stupidity today, I'll challenge you in the individual roping» Andie took another sip of her beer, leaving Damian open mouthed. «No» he said «yes» she raised her eyebrows «get ready to eat dirt» she said and took a big bite of her burger. «Are we in for a show?» Una looked at Ginny and Thomas, who didn't really know what to answer. «Only thing I suggest, the next door neighbours to them tonight.. cover your ears» Thomas said and collected his feet before he got kicked under the table again. Hannah looked at Flavio, he sat and stared at Andie, even Katie noticed. «Anyway, what are we doing tonight then?» Katie asked and smiled. «Are you guys ready for another round of line dancing, beer and some good old cowboy music?» Thomas asked, he stared at Anna «sure» Hannah and Una said at the same time. «Do we have time to go change first?» Hannah wondered «Sure, I have to bring Sugar Rush near Damians horses, so his stablehand can keep an eye on her as well. Don't want my star to get drugged before she'll show her skills again tomorrow» «let's say that we all meet downstairs in the hotel lobby in two hours or so? Like two hours after we have eaten?» Damian finished his plate «sounds good» Manny said and sat back to drink the last of his beer.
