"I could have waited another 2 hours. I mean for you. If it was anyone else, I would have had Taco run them over!" She joked. "Oh but guess what?"

Isabella had been asked to join the national barrel team and the Olympics for everything else. She just wasn't sure if she should say yes.

I mean, Olympics. That's a lot. Plus, the national barrel association.

He chuckled at her joke and had Columbus stand beside Taco. Columbus was a well behaved horse and didn't ever bother other horses. Instead Columbus bobbed his head at Taco as a greeting. "What," he asked curiously as Isabella asked him to guess some news. He reached over and let King sniff his hand before petting the fluffy puppy.

"So, first the National Barrel League asked me to join them. 5 minutes later, the English Olympic team asked me to join." Isabella happily responded, "but, I'm not sure what to say."

Suddenly, Taco half reared up.

"People..." she muttered, "see you tomorrow?"

"Aroow!" whined King. Bella had forgotten he was on Taco's butt. When Taco reared, King must have fallen off. Quickly though, king recovered and shook it off. Like nothing had happened.

"Well that's great," Jayce replies excited and proud of Isabella, "you should really say yes to one or both of them. It would be a good way for you to get some money and get to know more people." Columbus side steps away from Taco as he rears and Jay looks down at King as he fell from on top of Taco. "Yeah I'll hopefully see you tomorrow," he says, "are you coming to the party tomorrow night? It's tradition that a party is hosted to celebrate the coronation of the new King or Queen."

"Ok I'll say yes to them, and yeah, see you tomorrow. I wouldn't miss it for the world!" she told him before jumping her horse into the ring to make it look like she was practising and Jayce was riding.

He smiled some and nodded before trotting Columbus off. He did watch her though as she rode Taco around the ring, but then again all of the people did since Isabella had won so many awards. After a while of riding around Jayce had to return to the palace and continue preparing for the coronation ceremony. All of the components were ready almost around midnight which left Jay and the workers a few hours to sleep.

At night, she walked Taco home. She was still living in an old run down cabin. But, it had some comforts now! A stall in the back for Taco, a loft bed with a desk below it. She even got a proper kitchen! But, surprisingly she thought of Jayce, through all the shows, she thought of Jayce, when she could be thinking about her next show, she thought of the coronation.
"Why?" she said to herself before passing out.

Once morning came the palace was full of life. Jayce was dressed in his suit for the coronation and practiced his speech in front of some of the workers as well as his parents. They critiqued him some so then Jayce could be more prepared for the quickly coming time. He made a round through the palace and saw the ball room beautifully decorated for the evening's ball. Soon a servant came and found him and lead him to the doors of the throne room. Inside Jay could hear the mumble of citizens and wondered how many there were. 'Probably enough to fill the balconies as well,' he thinks as he imagines the many levels of that room being filled with all of the people of the city.

Isabella woke up early. She jumped out of bed and dusted her saddle, and then moved on to the one and the only, Taco himself. His dull coat had to shine. Bella spent over an hour and a half bathing Taco, only to find that he needed an extra hour to dry. And he could not roll...

(Apologies for not replying but as a heads up I will be busy this week and next week, but I will try to reply when I can)

"Prince Jayce," a voice called and Jayce turned to see Luca running towards him. "Yes Luca," he asked confused, "is something the matter? I have to enter the room soon. Don't want to keep everyone waiting." He gestured to the throne room doors in front of them. "Yes sir I know," Luca says, "but I wanted to give you this. Your mother said that it's tradition for a royal to wear this at their coronation." Luca steps forward and pins a small coat of arms onto Jayce's right side then, with the chain dangling off of it, pins an amethyst chunk that has silver around it on his left side. The amethyst was his family's chosen jewel and the coat of arms was of course their's as well. "Thank you Luca," Jay says with a nod as the servant bows and runs off, most likely to go through another door and watch his coronation.
