Now, on the next chapter,

Sam went into the stables, after talking to Raven on how 'Goose' got his name. She ran through the names of each horse, Angelface, Allstar, Arrow, Artemis, Apollo, Arrow, Bailey, Babyface, etc. Looking at each and every slender face, to see that their eyes brought out their own personalities as well as their names. For example, Chief was probably his name because of how much bigger he was than all the other male horses, and was very prideful. She stopped at Celeste, who she thought got her name by a little crescent on her forehead, and was completely white like the moon. But also her exotic black-blue eyes.
She neighed gently and walked up to Sam, placing her head on Sam's shoulder. Sam hesitantly touched the horse's white mane, her fingers running through its untangled hair.
,"Well, that's a change." Sam saw Danny at the mouth of the stables, but now wearing a white T-shirt. He walked to her, startling Celeste making her walk back into her stable, "She always does that when we try to get near her, but why did she come close to you?"
,"Don't know. Why don't you ask her?" Sam rolled her eyes, looking at Celeste who was now eating her manger of oats.
."Look" Danny sighed, glaring at the purple-eyed newcomer, "Just because you're the former rancher's daughter, doesn't mean I'm gonna be nice to you or spoil you.
,"Good." She glanced his direction, but now her attention was on the white horse, "And because you're the new rancher's nephew, doesn't mean I'm gonna follow your orders." She walked out the stables, but to have Danny run to her
,"I know we got off to a wrong start, so can we at least call it a truce," She skeptically move her eyebrow upwards, "Do it for your dad. Not for me or you."
That certainly caught her attention, "Truce, but only until I get back home to Amity."
,"Amity?" Danny questioned. That's exactly where he lived, but he rather not talk about he ghost-hunting parents, and physiatrist sister. He had obtained ghost powers when he was fourteen, thanks to his friend Tucker Foley, for pushing the button. When he glanced to where Sam stood, she was already gone.

The summer breeze moved her hair, sitting on a large hill by the mountain ranch. She kept her legs on her chest, and placed her head on knees, looking at an eagle from a distance. Hearing a grunt behind her, she turned her head and saw Celeste, trotting toward her.
,"Hey, Celeste!" She got up from the grassy floor, and walked towards the beautiful horse, "What are you doing out here? I thought you were with the other horses." She glided a gentle hand on the horse's forehead; she looked up to see a boy no older than her walking to her.
,"I am terribly sorry," He was a few inches taller than her, "I thought it was one of our horses from The Golden Stags Ranch. Sorry, where are my manners? I'm Max."
Sam reached out to shake his hand, but Danny was in-between them both, "What are you doing here, Max? You know you're not suppose to be on Stallion property."
Max's face squished into a scowl, "I only came by, to return a horse that belongs to you, Stallions." Danny's eyes were right on Max, never moving them, not even blinking.
,"Well, for a second I thought you were stealing our horses and taking them to your dad's animal abusing ranch." Danny glanced at Max disgustingly, "Sam, stay away from this sadistic jackass."
For a moment, she thought Danny's eyes changed, it's color actually it turned from sky blue to neon green, "Oh, so let me guess, she's your girlfriend."
,"She's not my girlfriend-"
,"I'm not his girlfriend-"
,"Well, then" Max pushed passed Danny, "You won't mind if we hang out for a while." He held Sam's hand, very gently.
,"No." Danny gritted his teeth, "But she's the daughter of the original Stallion Ranch owner." That didn't stop Max to kiss her hand, then leaving both of them.
She glanced at Danny who still glared at the leaving boy, "Damn bastard! I hate that damn jackass!" He looked at Sam, whose hand patted Celesta nose gently. A sudden spark ignited as Danny continued to stare at the former rancher's daughter, who he thought now was very gentle, good-natured, and beautiful...?
,"Are you alright?" She felt the Celeste's narrow cheek gently placed on her right shoulder, then a vibration in her throat.
,"Actually, no." He glanced at Max's back, "That bastard is Maxwell Sanders. His dad owns the Golden Stags Ranch, which had a number of cruelties to animal reports, ever since it opened. They're rivals with us, ever since your dad considered not having stallions or mustangs in his or any other neighboring ranch."
,"Why is that?" She petted Celeste white mane, and rubbed her little crescent forehead, gently.
,"Your dad said 'It takes one stallion to ruin an entire ranch' and 'One mustang is enough to cause a war on a ranch'. " He stared in amazement as she got on Celeste. No one has ever got a chance to ride on Celeste, ever since she had developed a great fear of humans from her previous abusive owner and a fear of fire that stole the lives of her mother.
,"Good girl, Celeste! Good girl!" She patted her neck, creating a neigh in thin air.
,"She actually let you ride her?" Danny gazed as Celeste accepted Sam to ride her, without a saddle or anything else, "She never lets anyone come near her, let alone ride her."
,"Guess, there's a first for everything." Sam smiled, as Celeste started trotting back to the stables.
Danny walked behind them, a distance away so he won't startle Celeste. He was mostly amazed at how Sam can get so near Celeste, without waiting to gain her trust; it's like Celeste already trusted her from the start.
There was something different and special about the former rancher's daughter. Something he never noticed in any city-girl or country-girl for that matter. A sudden spark of interest of the daughter, mad him want to learn more about her, other than her long love of her father, but also what she hates, enjoys, fear...maybe even love.
'No! I won't fall for the former rancher's daughter! Her and me are different' He glanced at Sam, as she returned Celeste to her stable and petted her gently 'But...then again...we probably aren't so different at all.'
She looked back at him and saw him staring at her, "Danny? Are you alright?"
,"Yeah. I'm alright." He broke out of his daze, as both walked back into the house where they were greeted by the sweet cooking of Raven and Grandma Ida.
