Phoenix rocked up at the expocenter with his float hooked up to the back of his triton and stallion in the float. There is an upcoming show and he needed to ride in a proper arena, instead of the paddock. The paddock in his back yard was a paddock/stable/arena and it got worn out after a while. Plus he couldn't exactly used the trails to do dressage work, well at least not properly.
The whole place was completely empty. Hmm. It's empty. Well I guess that's lucky for me, I won't have too many distractions Phoenix thought to himself as he pulled into the unloading area and turned off his car. Azmahn was the best behaved stallion you could have. Phoenix unlock the back and pulled it down, being greeted almost instantly but a whinny from Azmahn. "Hey boy. We're finally here. Time to do some work" Phoenix released the divider and let the stallion back out of the float by himself before Phoenix grabbed the lead rope and lead him around to the side and tied him up to the float.
Phoenix ventured into the front of his float, well it was more of a gooseneck. He only horse but he used to have quite a few before the accident that happened a few years ago. There was a fire that tore through the land where his old property was. At the time of the fire he was at a show with Azmahn, when he got back everything was burned down and his horses were no where to be seen. Just as Phoenix had gathered all his gear he heard the sound of tires rolling into the unloading area.

Buffy parked her truck and trailer close by. She shut off the truck and got out. She went to her trailer. She unlocked and lowered the ramp. Her bay thoroughbred nickered to her. She lead him out and tied him to her trailer. She removed his travel blanket. She placed her saddle onto him. She tightened the grith. She checked the bridle to be sure that it was alright. Rusty Musty snorted and waited.
Buffy glanced over to the other trailer. She sighed. She knew that Rusty Musty might get really exicted. She patted his shoulder and really hoped he wouldn't try and race the other horse. She could do any racing now. She went to her truck. She took out a pill bottle. She opened it. Taking two pills she swallowed them and closed the bottle. |

Phoenix walked out of the float with saddle, bridle, bandages, helmet and saddle blanket all loaded onto her two arms. As he walked out he saw another car and float park close by. Azmahn snorted as if to remind him that he was still standing there waiting. Phoenix walked up and piled some of the stuff onto the side of the float before taking the cotton travel rug off his stallion and throwing on the saddle blanket and saddle. He quickly did up the bandages on his horses legs and then put on the bridle, making sure everything fit. As Phoenix put on his helmet and pulled on his gloves he looked over at the float next to him and the horse tacked up next to it. He couldn't see the owner but he heard some foots steps in the truck so he guess that the owner was in there.
Phoenix pulled the stirrups down in his saddle and made sure the girth was tight before putting his foot in the stirrup and lifting himself into the saddle. He took up the reins and re-did the girth. Lightly Phoenix nudged Azmahn with his feet and the stallion started walking. Phoenix pulled him to a stop by the truck. "That's a nice stallion you got there" He called out to the owner, glancing back at the stallion who looked very excited to have another horse there. Something about the build of the stallion gave away that he was a racer. Phoenix looked down at Azmahn, "We're working today, so no racing" Azmahn let out a snort in annoyance, he was a very obedient horse and always did the dressage moves perfectly but he liked to have fun sometimes but with the up-coming show there was no time for fun.

Buffy looked to the guy as he had talked about her horse. Thanks she said. She mounted the jumpy horse. Rusty Musty pawed the ground. Buffy took up her reins and nudged him into a walk. The dark bay stallion snorted and walked underneather her. She patted his neck. Remember boy your best speeds are for the track not here she said to her gelding.
Rusty Musty snorted and pulled on the reins. He tossed his head up. Buffy gripped her reins more. She guided the thoroughbred into the arena without a problem. The stallion snorted and stayed at a steady walk. Buffy wouldn't make him do anything else until she knew he was ready to start the workout she had to do with him. |

Phoenix watched the women mount her jumpy horse. Something about her voice, something about the way she walked, everything about her drew Phoenix in. It felt like she was a magnet and there was nothing Phoenix could do to get away from the draw. Phoenix hadn't felt this way in a very long time. His last girlfriend he loved more than anything in the world and he was starting to consider proposing to her, but unfortunately she fell ill with a tumor and died and few months of diagnosis. Most of his family was either dead or somewhere around the world. Phoenix had such a traumatic life that he thought he would never be happy again, let alone love anyone again.
Azmahn walked into the arena at a calm walk, noticing his owners distraction. Phoenix wasn't concentrating on Azmahn at all, his mind was else where. Only problem is he didn't really know where. Azmahn snorted and threw his head a little, pulling Phoenix back into what was happening around him. After Phoenix got back to the present he took up the reins more and nudged Azmahn into a trot, carefully coming up next to the other stallion before slowly back down to a walk again. "I don't think I introduced myself before. I'm Phoenix White?" He smiled the smile that he hadn't been able to use since his last girlfriend died. Somehow this women brought out the light inside him, she made him feel himself again.

Buffy smiled slightly. She had figured something out. She had been trying to find some kind of first sight deal with guys. Now, she had found it hopefully. Nice to meet you. I'm Buffy Summers" she said. Rusty Musty pulled on the reins wanting to go into a faster pace. But, she held him back. She couldn't allow him to take control over how the paces went today. She knew soon enough there would be a race day and she had to be prepared for it even if she was on medication. The dark bay stallion snorted and kept walking beside the other horse. But, was knowing that Buffy was thinking about something. |

Phoenix saw in Buffy's eyes something click, but it looked like it was the same thing that click in his head. He looked down awfully embarrassed, He'd fallen in love again. After all these years of heart ache he'd finally found love again. But how could he tell Buffy that he had fallen head over heels for her, he was embarrassed enough as it is now and if he told her he would be dead 10 times over from embarrasment. God I feel like a girl who's fallen for the hottest guy in school This thought again embarrassed him. The dark bay stallion Buffy was riding snorted but kept walking beside Azmahn. He could see in the stallion's eye that he wanted to go. The stallion must be a racer. "Is your stallion a racer?" The build and temperment of the stallion, not to mention the breed of the horse gave away the fact that it was a racer. (Should something happen? Like Rusty Musty plays up and Buffy gets hurt or something I dont know  |

Buffy sighed. She had hoped for so long that she'd find love after her whole family had died. She looked over to him. Yeah, he's a racer. But, I'm trying to teach him other things as well she said. Rusty Musty snorted and pulled on the reins again. He was tempting to take off on her. He would if she didn't let him go any faster. Buffy pulled back on the reins trying to keep a good control over her stallion. (yeah it would be good if she does. that way they both can't get away from saying things about their feelings) |

Buffy's sigh ringed in Phoenix's ear's. The same sadness Phoenix has in his eyes he then saw in Buufy's. It's the look of grief, if you lost someone dear to you, it never has to be a human it can be an animal. Those that we hold close to our hearts are practically considered family if they're not. He wondered if Buffy had lost people close to her but wouldn't dare ask. It's not really something you ask people you've just met.
Phoenix watch Buffy's stallion snort and pull on the reins. The stallion was getting restless and he could see something brewing in his eyes. No matter how well we knew our horses, they can turn on us any second especially stallions. Azmahn was fairly good around other horses of any gender because he was around lots of other horses before the fire that destoryed everything but he still didn't entirelly trust him. The dark bay stallion started to worry Phoenix, he knew horses well and he could see that the stallion was restless. He didn't want anything to happen to Buffy.

Buffy felt something going on with Rusty Musty. The dark bay stallion couldn't hold his power in anymore. He pulled the reins from her hands and bolted. Buffy lost a stirrup. She gripped her stallion's mane tightly. But, she lost the other stirrup. Rusty Musty bucked slightly. Buffy fell right off and hit her head off the ground. But, she was lucky to have her helmet on. She stayed on the ground. Rusty Musty kept going around the arena at a bolt. The stallion snorted and halter in the middle of the arena. |

The dark bay stallion pulled the reins froms Buffy's hands and bolted. Phoenix froze in horror as he saw Buffy gradually loose her stirrups and then fall off and hit head first into the ground. Phoenix kicked Azmahn into canter, he quickly rode over to the stallion and grabbed the reins before going over to Buffy. He practically threw himself off, pulling his helmet off and leaving the two stallions standing there watching. "Buffy are you okay?" He wanted to pull her into his arms and hug her but he had to resist. Buffy had fallen on her head and she could have injured her back so he didn't dare move her but he hovered over her protectivly.

Buffy looked at him. She could tell he was worried about her. She slowly sat up. I'm fine. But, I don't think I'm going to be riding my horse for a few days. I have another horse though she said. She knew she'd only have a bit of a headache. Her back was fine. She glanced to her stallion. Rusty Musty was pawing the ground now. The stallion still wanted to run. But, she had no will to even race him now. |

When Buffy slowly sat up Phoenix hovered anxiously, because she was moving he knew her back was fine. Phoenix's feelings took over and he just ignored everything else that was going through his mind. "But you still shouldn't ride for a few days. Come on i'll take you back to your truck" Phoenix quickly picked up Buffy in his arms and walked over to the stallions, managing to grab both of the horses reins while still holding Buffy in his arms.
Phoenix sat Buffy in her truck so she could rest and he could attend to the horses. "You wait here while to get the horses un-tacked" He tied up both stallions to Buffy's float and quickly un-tacked the dakr bay stallion before taking Azmahn over to his float and un-tacking him. Azmahn snorted softly and tossed his head in the direction of Buffy as if to say go attend to her. He smiled and patted the horse on the neck before running back over to Buffy. "I'm not sure if you should be driving so I'll drive you home" He smiled his charming smile.
(I'm not actually quite sure how i'm mean't to get both Buffy's truck and Phoenix's car and float home. Any ideas on how I might be able to work that out?)

Buffy smiled softly. She knew she shouldn't drive her truck home. How about I just nap? I only have a headache. Plus I'd like to get to know you a bit more she said. Her eyes showing everything about her almost. Rusty Musty snorted. He tossed his head and was attempting to break his lead. He wanted to be closer to Buffy. She looked over to her stallion. She shook her head and laughed slightly. But, looked back to him. She leaned forward and kissed his cheek softly. (no idea's in my head right now) |

Phoenix smiled at Buffy's words. After thinking about it, it would be hard to get both Buffy's truck and his own car and float home if Phoenix drove Buffy home, he would wait and see if she was okay to drive home in a little while but knowing him after he got home and put Azmahn away he would drive over to Buffy's and make sure she's alright. Phoenix looked over at Buffy's stallion who seemed to be angry about the distance between him and Buffy. Too bad mate but you're staying over there for now. Phoenix felt like he was stealing Buffy from the stallion and the thought made him chuckle quitely before turning back to look at Buffy. Buffy suddenly leaned forward and kissed Phoenix's cheek softly. The feeling was unbelievable and the feelings started to clog up his mind.
Nothing logical went through Phoenix's mind, it was just blank. He gazed into Buffy's eyes, as if they were pulling him in. Slowly Phoenix's head moved closer to Buffy's. He lean't in and kissed Buffy lightly on her lips. He never knew love could be this powerful. It was just like Romeo and Juliet, but this one won't have the same ending as theirs. Hopefully....
