| Chapter 5 |
~Laura’s POV~
We were all getting ready to go on the 10:30 ride. I had on leggings, a pair of jeans, a t-shirt, a sweatshirt, and then my winter jacket. Although I didn’t look like it, I felt like a huge snowman. I had to hurry up, because I was becoming over heated. I hurried Elizabeth up, and told my parents we were going riding. Next we headed over to the guys’ rooms, first I banged on Nick and Aaron’s door, hoping they would be ready. Obviously by the muffled sounds coming from behind the door, they weren’t. So, we moved onto the other rooms.
After about 10 minutes, all 6 guys were standing out side with us waiting to get on a horse, and start the trial. Me, Elizabeth, Kevin, Brian, AJ, and Aaron were all going to go on the intermediate trail, which is where you trot most of the time, Nick and Howie were going on the beginner ride, where you walked for the full hour. Liz and I didn’t feel like telling them so, but they were gonna freeze out there, cause they also wait for the other trails to past them. Though, that probably wouldn’t have changed their minds about going on the trail, because they didn’t seem so confident about riding a horse at all. Oh well, their lose!
We had all mounted onto our horses, and were waiting in the long line to get onto the right trail. My horse was Lucky, Elizabeth’s was Huckleberry, Kevin’s Redriver, Brian’s Texas, Aaron’s AJ (there really is a horse named this! J) Howie’s Austin, Nick’s Denver, and AJ got blessed with having Diablo. Howie and Nick soon parted away from us going onto the beginner trail, while the rest of us continued going to the right, which would lead into the intermediate trail. Kevin was behind me, Brian in front of me, Elizabeth in front of him, AJ behind Kevin, and Aaron behind AJ. I knew this would be trouble. After about 3 minutes of the 6 of us talking together, I heard a loud NEIGH followed by a scream behind me. Brian, Elizabeth, Kevin, and I all turned around to see AJ’s horse up on two legs, bucking, and AJ on top of it, petrified screaming the most high pitched scream I’ve ever heard in my life, with Aaron sitting there on his horse, grinning. The next thing I knew, AJ was yelling at Aaron, attempting to hold onto his horse, covered in horse crap. I made a note to ask him what he did after the ride. AJ went back inside to clean up, and the rest of us continued on the ride. We all knew AJ would be pissed for the rest of the day and would be plotting to get Aaron back, but no one really cared. We just enjoyed the scenery and the riding.
The hour ended quickly, and we all started to mount off our horses.
“Aaron, what did you do to AJ’s horse that made him buck?” I asked him.
“Who? Me? I didn’t do anything! It was all the horse! I just helped it a little.”
“Fine, then what did the horse do?”
“It bit the ass of his horse.”
“Aaron! What your mouth!” Nick warned.
“Nick shut up, you use worse!” I pointed out.
“Whatever… he still shouldn’t use that language.” He said pouting.
“And neither should you. So, Aaron, was this just a spontaneous thing or did you have it planned?”
“Totally spontaneous!”
“Then you really gotta start working with us,” Elizabeth told him.
“Name the time and place, and I’m there!”
“Ok, I’ll notify you later. So, what are we gonna do now? Wanna go tubing?” I asked.
“Let’s go check on AJ and see if he wants to come.” Kevin said.
“Ok, but hurry up, otherwise all the good tubes will be taken!”
“ Fine.” With that, we all went back into the building to look for AJ and make sure he got all the crap off of himself. We soon found AJ, all clean and very pissed.
“Hey J, wanna come tubing with us?” I asked AJ once we found him.
“Is Aaron going?”
“Yeah…”
“Then I’m not. Good bye” he said standing up and walking over to the bar.
“AJ, do NOT order a drink, but on some warm clothing, a jacket, and get you ass outside. You WILL go tubing whether you like it or not, otherwise I will make sure you can never have children as long as you live.” Elizabeth told him sternly. Her reply was some mumbled curses and him stomping up the stairs to his room. Less then 5 minutes later, he was outside stomping up to where tubing was.
“Elizabeth, I don’t know how the hell you did it, but congrats!” Kevin said.
“Gracias! All you have to do is say it like you’ll do something bad to him, which I would, and he’ll do it… try it some time.”
“Been they’re, done that, doesn’t work,”
“Then you just suck.”
“Thanks, I love you too…”
“Anyways, let’s hurry up so we can get decent tubes.” I said following AJ’s lead. Soon, we were all on our way up the hill. They guys didn’t realize it until it was too late, since you get pulled up, you can put your but in the hole, otherwise it will hurt… a lot. So, once we were all up, the guys were complaining, AJ was pouting, and Elizabeth and me were laughing our asses off at their childish antics.
“Aaron come down with me? I wanna go faster,” Elizabeth said sweetly.
“Of course! Let’s go.” So, Aaron and Elizabeth both went down at the same time I did. They ended up going faster like I figured they would, but I got a big surprise when I got to the bottom… Aaron and Elizabeth in a heavy make-out session.
