A/N Hey guys! Guess who's sorry about not updating…that's right. Moi. So I was at the barn, riding my horse(who I pretend is Max sometimes…)and thought about Eugene taking riding lessons and how I could possibly throw fluff in there xD so I threw this one-shot…drabble…thing…together! Oh, and I might be stopping Just a Dream. I just don't enjoy writing it like I did when I started it.

"Back straight!Legs still!Take hold of those reins, Rider!" the Captain of the Guard barks at me while I trudge around the arena on white fur is streaked with sweat, and my own skin is man's been basically killing me for an hour now, but I clench my teeth and do what he says.
"Good. Now canter." I nudge Max into an easy canter, and he smoothly lopes around the arena.
"Faster. This isn't a nap." the guard snaps, and I grimace, pushing Max faster. We run around about seven more times before the Captain leaves the arena abruptly, tossing words over his shoulder.
"Cool him out, put him away, feed him, and go." he orders briskly.I sigh heavily and drop my reins, giving Max a well-deserved pat on the shoulder. After about five minutes, I dismount and head barn is cool and calm, and I notice a particular bay mare peeking over her stall door.I see Max grin sheepishly.
"Hey there, Max, looks like someone's got a little crush!" I tease, bumping his shoulder. Max neighs, giving me a weird look.I laugh, and suddenly hear a voice coming from inside the stall.
"He's not the only one with a -little crush-" Rapunzel emerges from the stall, carrying Celeste's halter. I immediately smile.
"Oh, really now?" I say jokingly. Rapunzel moves in closer, smiling up at me.
"Really." she puts her arm around my neck and kisses me. I happily oblige, tilting my head to deepen the kiss. Max is no doubt looking away embarassingly. Reluctantly, I pull away. Rapunzel's looking at me with all the love in the world shining in her eyes.
"Hey, weren't you supposed to untack your horse there?" she nods to the white steed beside me. I glance at Max, whose brown eyes seem to stare right through me.
"Oh yeah. C'mon, Max, let's go!" I tug him away from Celeste. He seems to be sad to follow me. When we're far enough away, I pat his neck.
"Lesson number one about girls. Mine's prettier."
