(Alright one more lol) - {Desiree's Pov} - "I smiled and looked to her and sighed, "I'm gonna call him Phoneix, It suits him.....i think", I said and then added "Maybe Legend cause he is one", I told her with a slight smile, I gazed over to Qibli who looked akward since i hugged him, "Hey one sec" i told her and walked over to him, "Hey i'm sorry for hugging you like that", I said as my hair whipped in the wind while looking at him, He was much taller then me which i liked, And those eyes oh those eyes are just wow, I then added "I hugged you because i was excited and because your the only person other then Lisa that i trust to hug", I said then finally added because i had to tell him, "The other reason is because i know i just arrived but for some reason i have the biggest crush on you", I told him then said "I don't know why but i thinks it's because you accepted me unlike any other man would", I told him then smiled.

I look back at Desiree and she smiles, looks up at me then sighs. "I'm gonna call him Phoneix, It suits him.....i think", She told me. "Maybe Legend cause he is one", She added earnestly, giving a slight smile. She glances over at an awkward looking Qibli, "Hey one sec" She tells me. I nod and a sad smile forms on my lips. They are perfecct for eachother... Ugh I can't let my stupid feelings get in the way of that. They really are perfect. A real smile tugs at my lips and I decide to leave them alone. I walk over to Rain's stall, attaching a lead rope to her halter, and since it's still hot outside I don't put a saddle or blanket on her. Instead sliding on her bridle like I had earlier. I glance back at the other two and smile. I need some alone time right now. I think, using a mounting block to slide onto Rain's back. I turn her to the barn doors and walk out. "I think I'll do a cross country course." I mumble, turning her towards a path that leads to the trees which has a sign labeled, "Cross country, course 1." I smile, eyes glittering with determination. "Let's do this Girl." I say, asking her for a canter and starting the course. +++ After I have finished the course I decide to just... be for awhile. All of my thoughts about Qibli, Desiree, my brother, my ex, my dad. Everything. Melts away. In the quiet silence that follows I can hear water in the distance. Curious I follow the sound, when I emerge from behind some trees I see a waterfall. It's beautiful. "Woah." I mutter, not being able to stop myself. I dismout Rain and sit down. She lays down next to me, resting. I smile, at the waterfall, at Rain, and at the quiet silence of my mind. I'm so caught up in the present I don't notice the sun setting below the horizon. Only observing the beautiful water, flowing down from a river above. It looks like it's coming from the sky. Edited at November 17, 2023 02:07 PM by Black Beauty Stables

(SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED I WAS GONE FOR AN HOUR lol. I apologize for the slow response)) - Qibli looked up as Desiree and Lisa came near. "Oh- it is fine. Let's check on the gelding." He commented, walking forward before looking surprised when Desiree came back from asking Ryker with a happy shriek, practically throwing hersef into his arms. "Oof- Oh- that's awesome! I'm glad he can stay here for now!" Qibli answered, trying not to stagger backward and using Dash as support. He put the stallion in a stall, waving back at Lisa before smiling at the name. "That's a splendid name... Phoenix. I love it." He stated, taking Dash's bridle off. Qibli looked to Desiree as she started speaking to him, wrapping his head around the concept. "Oh- it's fine that you hugged me, I was just surprised." He answered a bit awkwardly, then nodded slowly at her last sentence. "well, I try to accept everyone becase every single person matters. When I was a kid I got bullied a lot for different reasons, so now I try to make everyone feel noticed." Qibli commented, smiling a little. - (Ok, drama time. So- do you two think we could do a little jealousy plot? Where both of you like Qibli, and he can't really decide becaaause he is indecisive and too nice LOL?)

(Welllll, Lisa likes Desiree more then Qibli but still thinks hes attractive and she wouldn't realllyyy feel jealous since she'd shove her feelings down to allow oters to be happy.) Edited at November 17, 2023 02:19 PM by Black Beauty Stables

I sigh looking up, enjoying the beautiful- wait wheres the sun? I sit up abruptly and check my phone. Crap! It's already 9:00?? Wow, time flies. I stand up and coax Rain to stand to. I jump onto her back and turn her around. Facing the woods. I'm about to start walking when I realise I don't know where I am... That's not good. I look back down at my phone and realise I don't have Desiree, Qiblis, or Ryker's number. Well I know that the best thing to do when your lost is stay put. So I do. Grabbing a flashlight out of my bag and clicking it on. I'm sitting very calmy for how not calm I feel. Rain starts to stomp her hoof, feeling my nervous energy. I take a deep breath and rub her neck, calming her and myself. They'll find us. Right? I hope so... Maybe they're to caught up in themselves they won't notice. I sigh. Patting Rain on the butt and adjusting my seating on her back. Let's hope they find me, I think staring ack at the waterfall. Edited at November 17, 2023 02:51 PM by Black Beauty Stables

(Rivershine is offline right now so I'll just send Qibli to find her lol) - Qibli and Desiree spoke for a moment or two more before going seperate ways. He finished taking care of Dash before going on a short walk, enjoying the day as it cooled down a little. It was getting dark... around 9 PM... so Qibli walked back to the stables. When he saw Rain wasn't in her stall, he got a little worried. "DIn't Lisa go in a ride hours ago?" He mumbled to himself, deciding to check it out. He got Dash back out, throwing on a bridle again with no saddle, hopped on... and rode off. Qibli tried to think like a girl his age. "Where would I go... somewhere nice to spend the evening? Maybe where you could see the sunset? Or- the waterfall!" He exclaimed, urging Dash into a canter and going there quickly. In about 30 minutes at a fast canter, Qibli reached the creek. He heard rustles in the grass, then saw Lisa and Rain. "Hi.. are you good? You've been gone for a while." Qibli asked, slowing to a walk.

I turn around quickly hearing the hoofbeats of a horse coming toward me. I'm not scared. It's a horse. It might be Desiree or Qibli, maybe Ryker? I look toward the noise and see Qibli appear from behind the trees. "Hi.. are you good? You've been gone for a while." He asks me, walking his horse toward me. I smile. "Yeah I'm fine. I just needed some time alone, then couldn't find my way back." I tell him patting Rain's neck. I sit up and brush my shoulder-length red hair back into a ponytail and tie it with a band. I look at him and grin. "Thanks for coming to get me." I say. "Also wheres the way back? I need a shower." I tell him giggling a little. I throw my phone in my bag and yawn. Jeez, it'a late. I look at him, cocking my head to the side waiting for an answer. Edited at November 17, 2023 03:01 PM by Black Beauty Stables

Qibli nodded, relaxing a little. "That's good- I'm glad you're okay. You're welcome- and I think I remember the way back. It can only be one of four directions, right?" He joked with a small grin, scanning the forest. "If you want to walk back alone, just follow the creek- it goes all the way to the stables. If you want to take a shortcut, you can follow me." Qibli answered, clicking his tongue and urging Dash forward at a walk through the trees, back the way he came
