Who's Washing Who?

[Emo]

Pulling the shampoo and a brush from the rack on the wall she made sure to grab one that wasn’t for darker horses, but would still give Twilight that special glow she liked. Setting the bottle on the shelf alongside the brush she grabbed the hose and screwed on the wash head. Testing the temperatures she found a lukewarm, maybe slightly warmer, and started to soak Twilight’s fur with it. When Twilight felt the water she shook her head, ears fully pricked forward. Spraying water everywhere from her neck Twilight got Seb wet. Standing in shock she stared at the horse before smiling. She had no guarantee she’d come out dry.

[Ty]

Colt led Renji up and ducked in time to see Seb get soaked. He chuckled. I figured Renji could use a bath too! He grabbed the second hose and began wetting the 'pony' down. Colt grabbed some shampoo (his own from home, of course) and started with Renji's legs. Ahhh. The feeling of clean, only to be put out in pasture!

[Emo]

Seb gave Colt a mock glare as he laughed at her. ”Yeah very funny!” Turning her hose she let it soak through his shirt before turning it away. Grabbing the shampoo from the shelf and the brush she applied water to the brush before squirting from shampoo onto Twilight’s coat. Scrubbing it in with the brush she checked each area for underlying grains of dirt. Bound to be dust and whatnot under her shaggy coat.

[Ty]

The luke warm water soaked his black shirt. Aww. Come on.. He fake whined. Colt rinsed Ren's legs and pretended to slip. His hadn flew up, and he slickly aimed at Seb; soaking her feet before he jumped back on his legs.
Colt held his hands up in denial. Renji did it. He smiled and opened his mouth to ask her a question before stopping himself. You don't even know if she'll want to do that..

[Emo]

Seb smiled, but she didn’t turn around to acknowledge the fact that she had done anything to him. Seb screamed when he slipped, feeling water spray over her pants and boots. As Colt got back up she listened to his denial before flicking soap at him. She didn’t have time to do anything else before Twilight pricked her ears and shook her body, releasing soap and water all over the wash stalls. Seb ducked for cover under the wash basin until the mare was finished. Peeking out from underneath the sink she stood up. ”Well, looks like we got our morning showers. A very awkward shower but a shower none the less. So, what were you going to ask me?” She had noticed him open his mouth but close it just as quickly before speaking. Scraping water off her skin Seb grabbed a towel and began to wipe off her arms and face. Removing her pony tail she let her hair fall over her back before ringing out the water. Twilight was watching her as she worked on the water.

Leaving her hair down to curl Seb rinsed off Twilight before drying the mare off. Brushing through the mare’s mane and tail she threw the brush into the bin and looked over at Renji. Clean, like a stallion should look. He definitely looked like a show horse now. ”He’s so shiny when he’s clean.” Laying the towel over her shoulders so her shirt stayed as dry as possible Seb watched Colt.

[Ty]

He loves to be clean.. Colt smiled and looked up at the stallion, who pawed the ground in agreement. Or mabye he was showing himself off to Twilight. Colt could never tell. Ahh.. Yes. he paused I was wondering.. pause If you wanted to go out to dinner.. Wherever you'd like to go of course. Colt looked up at her and his blue haird shined from being wet. I have a few ideas. I was hoping we could discuss them over dinner...

[Emo]

Seb watched Renji as he pawed the cement slab underneath him. Twilight tossed her head, spraying water from her mane again. Rolling her eyes Seb smiled and sighed, walking over to a stool and sitting down. She listened as Colt spoke, having trouble getting the words out. Of course she’d say yes but Seb being herself had to give him a hard time about it. ”That’s a bit of a leap over the cliff don’t you think Colt?” She let the silence settle before speaking again. ”And what if I had said no? You’d be disappointed, I’d get mad because of some odd reason and everything would come crashing down. But…” She paused and thought a moment. ”I’ll go, and not only because I’m interested in these plans of yours. Whatever comes from your mind has to be intelligent.” Smiling over to him she unhooked Twilight and walked away, allowing him to think over what she had said. She’d give Twilight a workout tomorrow, not that she really needed it for training but simply to keep her in shape before the show season.

Putting the mare into her stall Seb pulled out her water bucket and filled it up from the faucet. Putting it back she quickly climbed up to the hayloft and threw down a bit of hay for the buckskin before climbing down and brushing herself off.

[Ty]

Crazy child. He muttered under his breath. He knew she would say yes. The smart being he is. Colt smiled and led Renji into his stall, and followed Seb to the hayloft, throwing some food down. My basic idea was to buy an auction horse.. Together. Split every cost. Train it. And possibly sell it. Colt looked at her before sitting down. Now, if she liked the basic idea, they'd get to head out to dinner.

[Emo]

Seb listened to the basic outline of his idea. She turned it over in her head, throwing possible disasters at herself. Vet fee’s, farrier, time needed to train an auction horse, possibly abused. There was a solve to every problem though. ”That’s a lot to take on. It’d be an awesome challenge though. I’d love to give it a try. I can work on the basis of natural horsemanship, you can do a bit of your own training or we can split it, which is up to you. We can split all the fee’s, vet, farrier, and so forth. But will Hope allow it?”

[Ty]

I don't see why not. What if we discuss what were looking for later tonight, and then give her a little presentation. Colt paused and thought for a moment. I did alot of ground work with Renji, thats why he's such a good boy. So if I do a week of training on the ground, with the horse, for his manners, then you did something with the horse- err- 'naturally' the next week. He should progress pretty fast. Colt stopped to let her soak in the idea. He talked fast without realizing it. Shaking his head he added on more thing Where do you want to go to dinner?

[Emo]

Soaking in the information and ideas she looked at the ground while he talked. Not to be disrespectful, but it helped her think when she wasn’t concentrating on a site or an image and her thoughts at the same time. ”Hope should be pretty open to it. And we can’t set standards too high. Hope brought home a horse a few weeks ago, they named him Paladin, he was abused and so skinny, the poor guy looked awful. The auction can be a scary place for a horse, but I can’t see why we can’t set standards as long as they’re reasonable.” leaning back against a stall door she looked back up at him and smiled. ”Red Lobster, I’m paying, no questions asked.” Seb was extremely independent, she didn’t need Colt paying for her meal so she was going to pay for his.

[Ty]

Colt was about to object in her paying, but thought better of it.Oh, I know expectations can't be too high, but it would be pretty spiffy if the horse got to be awesome.. He laughed at himself for saying spiffy. Red Lobster it is, but Im driving. Colt shook his head and climbed down the ladder, and over to his black car.

[Emo]

Seb saw him object and smiled to the one side, knowing he wouldn’t say anything. Spiffy, who uses that word nowadays? ”Such a weird word, spiffy.” When he spoke of driving and started for his car she didn’t move. Looking back at Twilight, quietly munching on her hair, she ran to catch up. ”You can drive but we’re taking my car, which is about half a mile away. I need to pick it up anyway. Plus, you’d like it … a lot. It’ll take us about five or ten minutes to go and get it. Plus, walking is good for you.” Seb passed his car and started for the driveway, stopping to see if he was following. This was going to be a problem.

[Ty]

Colt grumbled. I wonder what Seb means? Probablly Unnaturally Stubborn, or Independant. Yes. Thats it. He said, loudly for Seb to seehear. He almost muttered something about being allergic to walking, but decided better of it. Seb. Seb. Seb. So. So. So. Stubborn. When they reached the car he smiled and held his hands up sheepishly for the keys. He liked to drive.

[Emo]

Seb listened in as he spoke. Stubborn? Maybe. Independent? That’s a big fat yes. She walked silently, her shoes barely making a sound as they touched against the pavement. Once she reached the car she ran her hand over it, pulling the keys from her pocket. The black color radiated heat from the sun’s rays’. The clothed black interior was bound to be hot once they got in. Hitting the instant start button on her key chain she listened as the large engine rolled over and started up. Not thinking of the fact that she wasn’t a car type of person the Nissan was still her baby, next to Twilight of course. Throwing the keys into his waiting hands she opened the passenger door and pulled all the paperwork off the seat. Homework, still had to get that done.

Piling it up on the floor in front of the back seat she climbed in. The homework wasn’t necessary, simply extra work for a extra points for college. ”I really need to pull all this paperwork out and complete it. Half of it’s for Twilight, the other is for school, my second to last year in high school, how fun.” Speaking of Twilight she needed to update the mares coggins. Another vet visit, money she had but not accessible.
