Alex looked up again, her interest peaked at the news of a new horse on the grounds. "What do you mean by crazy?" -she asked curiously, one dark eyebrow raised in a quizzical arch...

[Sure thing!]

"I dont know, the horse is like..half stallion, barely trained. Reared up right once he got out of the horse trailer, apparently kicked at the handlers or something," Summer said, staring at her nails, since Alex was painting hers.

"Wow. How old is it?" -Alex asked, furrowing her brunette brow. Finished with her nails, she screwed on the lid, then tossed it to Summer, a gesture saying she could use it. Blowing on her freshly painted nails, Alex waited for Summer's answer...

Summer's eyes widened from the item being thrown at her, and caught it quickly. "I'm surprised I caught that - and I'm not sure actually, I didn't get to ask. If he did tell me, I forgot...I'd guess around 3 or 4. I just hope James doesn't get hurt," she said, shaking her head. She lay her hand flat on her bed, beginning to put clear coats of polish on her nails...

"Hm." -was all Alex said in reply, as she lay on her stomach atop her thick bed covers. Her eye brows raised in a teasing fashion, but she didn't say anything. "So, I believe we need to schedule a day to the mall, seeing as we only have two weeks until prom," -Alex commented, examining her shiny nails...

Summer's eyes lit up at the mention of prom. Maybe it would be worth it to go...
"Dancing isn't really my thing...but I will go with you. Or, even better, if I get asked by someone to go," Summer said. "What kind of dress are you going to look for? Floor length or just a cocktail dress?"

Alex made an exaggerated unsure face, dark brown eyes wide. "I honestly don't know. I suppose I'll just have to browse when we get to the mall. But you have to come. Besides, I doubt I'll get asked, then whom I gonna hang out with?" -Alex asked as if it was the most obvious thing...

"True...and you could always use my advice on dresses," Summer said, slightly teasing when she said "advice."
"What color dress should I look for...blue? It would match my eyes," she noted.

Alex threw her hands up in the air in an exasperated gesture. "You're right, I would be completely lost without you!" -she exclaimed, then collapsed dramatically onto her bed with a laugh, rolling onto her back. Turning to look at Summer, she contemplated the color blue with an excruciating expression on her face. "Hm, well, it would look nice on you."...

Summer laughed at what Alex had said. She waited for her nail polish to dry, then put it on the nightstand next to Alex's bed. "I'm going to bed in a few," Summer said, starting to turn the lights out in the bathroom.

Zing nickerd and threw his head as Jake walked away. "I'll be back soon bud! I'm just going to the office to see where I'm going to bunk down..." Zing then turned in his stall and started knawing on his hay.

"Hello," Mrs. Faey greeted to the young man [Jake] who walked into her office, "And how may I help you? Are you enjoying Blue Creek so far?"

Alex nodded, supposing she should get some rest too. Flicking off her bedside lamp, she crawled under the covers...

*next day
Summer woke up at 8:00. It was a saturday morning, so she was able to sleep in. She immediately pulled out her phone from under her butt, which she had fallen asleep on by accident. You training Half-Stallion today? she texted to James, starting to get ready to ride. She did so quietly, so she wouldn't wake Alex up. Even if James wasn't going to train Xerxes today, she could still ride Firefly for practice...

"In the barn already." James sent a reply from the hay and grain room where he stood, with half a bale of Timothy in his arms. Quickly, he stuck his phone into his back pocket, then hurried to toss Emphasis his grain. Today he would start with Xerxes. And it would begin by wrestling the violent two year old into one of the round arenas. James drew in a deep breath at the challenge ahead, then pulled one of his spare cotton lead ropes down from its hangers...

Alex groaned slightly as she heard Summer moving around the dorm room. Sleepily, she grabbed her pillow and shoved it over her head...
