Kacey woke up to her horse nuzzling her face. The sun was filtering through the open door on that beautiful March morning. Finally after five minutes Kacey had enough of her horse.

"Thorn! How'd' you get in my room?" She pushed his muzzle away from her face to see her surroundings better. As it turned out Thorn wasn't in her room at all, but she was in the Stables sleeping on a pile of hay and using his saddle as a pillow. He snorted and nodded to the door. She looked out the open barn door. Judging from the height of the sun it was around 10 a.m. Wait 10 a.m.?

"Thorn I'm late, I'm late! Dad wanted me at training three hours ago!" She quick combed her fingers through her long black hair and whipped it into a quick, but neat braid. She smoothed out her training uniform and looked at her reflection in the stable mirror. Not bad she thought with one final glance at the mirror she held her hand out and angled her fingers down, at this Thorn lay on his knees where she was able to leap on Thorn's back and rode to the training hall. Her grandfather was standing at the door waiting. He didn't look very happy.

"Hi Grandpa!" she said trying to sound like nothing was wrong.

"Don't even start Kacey, Loki is furious with you."

"But Grandpa Odin-"she whined.

"No, I'm not falling for it this time. You have got to be even more mischievous than your father."

She grinned.

"You also have his smile. But you were late. Your cousin was here in time."

"Of course she was." She said losing her grin.

"Well Thena is being the responsible one today, shockingly, besides you left your helmet."

"What?" Kacey exclaimed feeling her head. No, no I didn't, did I?" she turned to Thorn.

He nodded.

"Best go and get it. Your father and mother are waiting back at the stables."

All though she was a teenager she was still very short. But what she lacked in height she had for intelligence. She had taught Thorn to lay down so she could clamber up on his back. She did and he stood up and galloped back. Not only were her parents (Loki and Sigyn) there but her Aunt Sif, Uncle Thor and her cousin Thena. That's right her fifteenth birthday. Thorn reared and Kacey slid off his back. She landed lightly on her feet.

"Happy birthday!" everyone cried.

"Aw, thanks" she said as she walked to the resting place of her helmet. Her helmet was identical to her father's it had the same curving horns with sharp tips. She placed is on her head. When her dad steped foreword and said;

"I have some news for you. Think of it as a birthday present."

"What would that be?" She asked genuinely curious.

"Your mother and I are sending you to an Earth High School."

"A what!" She cried.

"An Earth High School." Her mother repeated.

"Oh, no, why!? What am I going to do, where am I going to live?"Her eyes were becoming red and her skin was turning blue as it always did when she got irritated, stressed or she just feels like it. Thanks to her father's Frost Giant genes.

"With Anthony Stark, he will take you to school and let you stay in his house."

"But dad!"

"But what?"

"But Tony is an Avenger; remember what happened last time our family crossed with the Avengers?"

"Yes, well it was actually Ivan's idea."

"Ivan's-. Wait, dad don't you see a problem here;" his blank look said it all. Not wanting to discuss this in front of his big mouthed brother and niece he said.

"Kacey tack up Thorn and Sleipnir we'll talk over a horse ride, sound good?"

"Great." She tacked up the horses. Within minutes they were galloping over the rolling hills of Asgard. They halted alongside a river.

"So what is the problem? I thought you liked Ivan."

"That is the problem dad, I like him."

"Oh."

"Yeah." She said.

"Kacey, if you want to go to a different-"

"I don't want to go lame old Earth at all! I don't want to see Ivan and I defiantly don't want to go to a stupid Earth School! " She screamed in her dads face. She ran to Thorn and galloped back towards home leaving Loki at the riverbank dazed. As she rode off she called over her shoulder;

"I am staying in Asgard FOREVER!" she crested the hill and was gone. Leaving Loki to his thoughts.
