Zak woke up to the smell of food filling the castle. He got out of his bed and ran downstairs to the kitchen to find his mom making breakfast.

"What time is it?" Zak asked his mother.

"Around 10:30. Here take your breakfast." His mother said, placing the freshly made food on the table.

"I have to meet with Darryl in 30 minutes" Zak thought, stuffing down his breakfast then running upstairs to get ready. He got dressed, fixed his hair a bit, then ran back downstairs. He was about to head out the door when his father stopped him.

"Where do you think you're going at such an early hour?" His father asked, blocking the doorway.

"I'm um- I'm going to go play with the other kids near us" Zak told his father in a hurry.

"Alright, just be careful. Be back before 6."

"Yeah, yeah" Zak said, running out the door.

He made his way past the guards, then ran behind Darryl's house. He went into the cellar, hoping Darryl would know he was in there. He heard the cellar door open around 10 minutes later.

"Hey Zak" Darryl said, shutting the cellar door. "So, what do you wanna do today?"

"I'm not really sure...to be honest, I've never really been anywhere besides my house before" Zak said, looking down in half sadness, half embarrassment.

"That's okay! Hey, have you ever ridden a horse before?"

"No I haven't. Can I can I can I can I can I can I?" Zak asked impatiently.

"Yes of course you can, follow me" Darryl grabbed Zak's hand and pulled him behind him. They went up the cellar stairs, and into the barn area where Darryl's family kept the horses.

"My dad has a lot of horses" Darryl said, laughing

"Can we take this black one?" Zak asked, walking over to it.

"Of course, here, take this helmet" Darryl said, handing Zak the helmet.

They both hop onto the horse and start going.

"Make sure to hold on tight" Darryl warned Zak.

The horse starts picking up speed as they go into the forest. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Zak yells, afraid to fall off.

They rode around for hours, going places along the way. Zak didn't want the day to end, but as they say, time flies when you're having fun.

"We should do this again tomorrow!" Zak said happily, getting off the horse and taking off his helmet.

"About that..." Darryl started, "Our parents..they'll start to get suspicious, we should meet at night only."

"Oh...what time?" Zak asked, a bit saddened about the news.

"I was thinking 2:00am, and we wait till 3:00am if the other doesn't show up. It'll be hard to wake up, but we'll get used to it eventually."

"Alright th- oh shoot I have to go I'm sorry, my dad will kill me if I'm late" Zak says, handing the helmet to Darryl and starting to run back to his house.

"BYEEE" Darryl yells, watching his friend fade away, thinking in his mind...










"Why does it have to be this way"
