Disclaimer: I don't own Wanderer's . . . Wait, no, I don't own Ranger's Apprentice. He he, I seriously almost typed Wanderer's Apprentice.

Chapter 1

"Arrettez?" Vontade ventured as he pulled away from said person, "May I ride him now?" His eyes were pleading as he said this.

Arrettez almost seemed to smirk as he answered nochalantly "If you think that's a good idea, then go ahead."

Vontade looked excited as he climbed atop the horse. He felt like he forgot something, wasn't there something you were supposed to do before you climbed on a Wanderer horse? Oh well, he thought, too late for regrets now. The next thing he knew he was flat on his back, the wind knocked out of him. A ghost of a smile touched Arrettez's lips.

Vontade groaned and after he regained his breathe asked "What are his secret words?"

Arrettez answered "Run like the wind. . . I think." the last part threw Vontade off a bit.

"What do you mean you think?" Vontade asked uncertainly.

Arrettez shifted uncomfortably and said "Well . . . This is a Ranger horse, I overheard it was run like the wind . . . But I can't be too sure."

Vontade walked up to Puxão and whispered "Run like the wind" in her ear. Puxão nodded once and stood still, looking at Vontade expectantly. Vontade looked at Arrettez and climbed aboard. Puxão stood still, Vontade lightly tapped his heels against Puxão's flanks and the horse started immediatly. He urged Puxão faster and faster until the trees rushed past to fast to be easily discernible. When he realized how far he was he turned Puxão around and went back towards Arrettez.

When Vontade was back there was a wide grin on his face. "That was absolutely amazing," he breathed.

"Your first horse ride always is, I remember how mine was. You don't know what you were missing out on until you ride one," Arrettez announced. Then he added "You must have realized that it's almost time for dinner now." Vontade then realized just how hungry he was and nodded.

"Let's go inside," Vontade said, then thought for a second, "What are we having?"

"I don't know," Arrettez answered, "I'm going to teach you how to cook today while I make coffee." Then Arrettez walked inside and got the coffee pot out. "Let's begin." Vontade groaned, he had a feeling tonights dinner would be a burnt mess.

A/N: Short chapter, sorry.
