Previously:
"I had a great time Dan, thank you, I really needed to get that of my chest." I send him a nervous chuckle and a smile while I scratched the back of my neck.
"No prob. Would you like too do it again somtime?"
"I'd love to. Drop by anytime."
Present:
Almira's POV
I say goodbye before I open the door and slip in. I shut the door behind me and slide down to the floor, my back resting against the door. A smile creeps onto my face.
My sister appears from the bathroom and crouches by me.
"sooo, whats his name?"
"Dan"
"So whatcha guys do? I saw ya hold hands!"
"We walked on the beach told us about each other."
"Did you tellhim-"
"Yes"
"what did he do?"
"He was soooooo sweet! He held me and rocked me while I told him everything"
"He sounds like a good guy. You guys goin out again?"
"Defenatly, I really like him"
"Well I'm glad for you sis."
We stand up and we pull each other into a big hug(kodak moment).
Dan's POV
Later that night...
I sit at the Moonlight Cafe, trying to rid my head of the thoughts of a cetain girl.
A blonde haired girl walks up to me.
"So what do you want this time?"
"Oh...um just a juice, Eve"
"Wait...your...buying somthing?!"
"Yeah, I guess so" I let out a frusstrated sigh. Why cant I get her out of my head! I mean I have gone out with many other girls, but none had had this effect on him! I mean I didn't even go on a proper date with her yet!!!!
"Okay whats on your mind, you havent even hit on me yet!And your paying for somthing!!" She takes a seat next to me.
"Well, theres this girl-"
"What is with you and all these girls!! Your so frustrating-"
"Let, me finish!!!" I demmand. She only nodds in reply.
"You see, she and her sister just moved here, with their wack-o horses, and I was walking towards the beach for a jog when out of no-where one of their foals comes up to me and demands attenion so I pet it on the head. Then the huge-ass stallion of the herd freaks out and trys to kill me, until the girl comes out and calms the horse. down. She aplies and I ask her to accompany to me to the bach. She says yes and head inside their house to get ready and when she comes out she was beautiful!!! And way the wind picked up at the right moment to make her long, curly-brown hair and her pearly white teeth showed as she looked at me, I swore I melted. She looked like a super-model. So we head down the beach and we tell each other about our selves and then she goes on about how her boyfriend died and she cried into my shoulder. We later walked back to the house and I swore at the look her crazy, stallion stared at me when we were hold hands, I swore I was going to die and then we said our goodbyes,and now I cant get her out of my head! And I think...I might love her.."
"Awwww, Dan has a girlfriend! You guys sound like your meant to be!!!"
"thanks, but I dont know what to do! I mean I told her we would go out soon, but I dont know what we should do. Should I take her out to somewhere fancy, should I bring her flowers? What should I do!!!" I let out another frustrated sigh.
"Well, I think since her boyfriend just died I think shes not ready for somthing really serious, maybe just taking her here or a simple resturant."
"Thank, Eve, I really appretiate it."
"Your welcome. And make sure to bring her here so I can meet her. She sounds very nice."
"I will be sure to do that Eve. I gotta go so see ya later." And with a quick dash I'm out the door.
The gears in her head slowly turn until she comes to somthing.
"GET BACK HERE DAN! YOU DIDN"T PAY FOR YOUR JUICE- ah forget it."
She pulls out her wallet and pays for him, yet again.
Next Day...
Almira's POV
I wake up with the sun emitting rays throught the window. Today we were finally going to make the pasture fence for the horses.
The clock on the nightstand reaads 7:00. Perfect. I shake my snoozing sister, until she finally wakes up.
"W-wha?" She asks dumbly in her sleeping trace.
"Wake-up we have alot to do today, we have to make the fence today remember?"
Alison reluctently gets out of bed.I claim the shower first and get dressed in usual attire. My sister goes after me, but what took up most of her time was her hair.
Sastified withour looks we have a quick breakfast and head outside with axes in our backpacks.
We walk over to the small group of horses and instantly we are surrounded by them, sending us happy nickers and such.
After we patt each one, I climb on Dime, a chesnut paint mare, while Alison climbs on Danna, a pitch-black mare, and head off towards the lake we spotted earlier, where a few trees have fallen. We gallop there, neck at neck, before we reach the destination.
We slide off the mares and lead them to a patch of grass, were they can much at the grass, glad that they get some time away from their trouble-some foals, while Zena and Xavier take care of them.
My sister and I walk over to a fallen tree, and start cutting at an easy rythym.
THUMP

"Yo!"
We stop cutting the wood to see a guy with a brown hair and wearing a blue bandanna, a red and white striped long-sleeved t-shirt, and brown khaki capris.
"I set down my axe and wave. "Hi!" My anti-scoial sister just waves.
He walks up to us. "Hi my names Joe." He reaches out his hand.
"The names Almira, and the anti-scoial sibling over there is Alison." I take his hand and shake his hand.
He chuckles. "Well then we have too things in common, I have an older brother whos the name is Kurt. Not to be nosey but whatcha guys doin?"
"Well we are gathering wood to make a fence for our horses."
"Well do you guys need any help? I happen to be a carpenter."
"Thank you very much but we wouldn't want to trouble you."
"Ah, it's no problem, it's my day off, so it's no trouble to me."
"Well...if you incest. But we dont have another axe."
"Dont worry about that."
He pulls out an axe from a backpack that I just noticed. I sweat drop.
"Well I have to drop off at the house. Be back soon." Finally talks my sister.
"It speaks!!!!!" I fake gasp and cupp my mouth.
"yeah, yeah, whatever."
Alison stuffs her backpack with all the wood she can, walks over too Danna, and jumps onto the back of the black as night mare. With a nick and a nudge their off, dissapearing out of sight.
I turn towards Joe and smile.
4 hours later...
I walk back to the house, Dime walking next too me and Joe on the other side, sastified. We finally cut all the wood we needed too make a fence around the huge property and Joe, me, and zena(its on her back) carrying the last of the batch to the farm, Alison already there waiting for us to get there.
Seeing the ranch in veiw I speed up my pace too a jog, Dime does too, leaving a sturgling Joe(hes carrying the most 3)behind.
Reaching thee farm I drrop the wood into the huge pile we have formed and streched all my muscles. Man that was tiring! Dime snorts and paws the ground in distress of the weight of all the wood on her back. She walks over to me and start to load the wood off of Dimes back.
Joe comes into veiw, in a what seems to be a part jog. Xavier, not aware of who he is snorts and paws the ground. in a threatening mannor. Joe stops at the egde of property and stares in horro as Xavier sends him an icy cold glare. Seeming this looks like a good time to intervine I jog back over to Xavier and pat his neck.
"Oh just shut you trap, you big baby. Thats Joe a friend of ours, and you need too stop doing this to every body! Your going to scare the whole town away ya brute!" His expresion softens at my touch and relaxes. I run over to Joe.
"Forget Xavier, he acts all tough but really hes just a big baby inside."
He nods and walk over to the pile, Joe dropping the last of the wood and raises his arms to a strech. My almost, non-existant sister appears out of nowhere and we start to build the fence. It's an odd fencxe really, It's not one of thoose criss-cross of regular fence, It's a stake fence. Huge circular logs are effortlessly into the ground with a really heavy hammer, thus making a sturdy fence. And man was it tiring.
Just as we start the fence we hear Xavier snort. I turn my head to see the guy that nearly got mauled by Xavier yesterday, Dan.
"Hi Almira, Joe, and this other lady here I presume is Alison, right Almira?"
"Yeah, Dan"
Joe looks at me with a look of shock.
"You know him?!!!"
"Yeah, I met him yesterday when Xavier tried to maul him"
"Ohhhhhh..."
"You know guys I am still here!" He waves his arms around in the air to prove his point.
I snap out of my trance and wave him over to us so we can chat..
He carefully walk down to us, his sight never leaving Xavier.
He reaches us and Xavier just continues to stare at him.
I speak up. "Alison this is Dan, Dan this is my twin sister Alison." I gesture toward each other to each other.
Dan lets out his hand and Alison shook it. "It's nice to meet you, Dan/Alison." They say to each other.
"So whatcha guys doin."
"Were building a fence to keep Xavier and his herd from escaping." I plainly state out.
"Cool,need any help?"
"Sure, if you dont mind."
"It's no problem, I have nothing planned for the day."
"Okay I'll go get you a hammer."
I disapear into the house for a second and come back with another heavy hammer. I hand Dan the hammer and get back to work.
5 hours later...
I lean on my hammer and wipe my sweaty brow. I stare at the fence we just finished, admiring all our hard work.
"I say we celebrate our hard work!!!" I burst out.
"Sure a club, just in the city next to us, called Purple Lily should be open now." replies Dan.
"Joe and Alison just shrug an okay.
"I'll be right back, I have to tell teacher Woody and Kurt."
"Okay but everybody meet us at the town square soon, I'll call a taxi."
Joe heads right across the street. Dan goes to where ever he lives and me and my sister head inside.
Me and my sister wait at the town square, rubbing our arms to stay warm in the spring night air.
Dan arrives fashionably late. He's wearing a White long-sleeved shirt coverd by a brown blazer, and light blue jeans.
He walks up to us and stares at me. Obiously cause of my outfit. I'm wearing a red sparkly tube top that goes down to my waist, a jean mini-skirt, a sparkly blue ribbon tied around my waist and ends at my knees, and my glistening, light-brown hair all curly and down to my waist. My sister wears a simalar outfit, but her tube top is sparkly, blue and has a red sparkly ribbon to her knees, and her hair, since it's shorter than mine, is down to her chin and the tips are flipped out.
"W-wow!!!! You guys look amazing!!!!!!!"
Our cheeks turn a bright pink.
And the latest person of all is Joe. He comes into the square wearing tan khaki shorts that end after the knees, and a chocolate colored short-sleeved shirt.
"Hey guys, you ready to party!"
Me and my sister shout and whoooas we pump our arms in the air. And as if on que a yellow taxi pulls into the square and we crowd into it.
