Megan pulled into the parking lot of the county fair grounds. Clarissa hoofed at the bottom of the trailer, knowing every well where they were. This was her second year here and she was just as excited to be here like her owner. Lilly jumped out of the truck to see the Stewart's truck pull up next to theirs.

She walked over to Miley and gave her a huge hug and smiled at Robbie. The man nodded at her and helped Megan unload Clarissa from the metal trailer. Miley picked up the saddle in the bed of their truck and Lilly grabbed the bridle and lead rope. They both walked over to the adults that were coxing the mare out of the trailer.

Lilly walked into the trailer and clipped the rope to the red halter worn by the horse. She leaded her out and into the stable area with Miley following her well Megan and Robbie locked up the trailer. The put the mare in stall number five; Miley put the saddle on the door. Lilly laid the bridle onto of it and smiled at her girlfriend.

"This place is so huge! I can't believe I had to miss this last year."

Lilly shrugged and Megan walked up. She tossed Lilly her mp3 player with white headphones plugged into it. Lilly smiled and put them into her ears and listened to music as she checked all her tack

Miley, Megan and Robbie left her to her work and went and looked around the fair. Suddenly a black haired woman a little older than Megan walked over to them, smiling widely.

"Megan! I figured I'd see you here! Someone from your stable riding today?"

Megan gave a fake smiled and answered, "Hi Mrs. Ryan! Yes my niece is riding today! Your son Jake riding as well?"

"Why of course! I'm sure he'll be happy to see Lilly again!" Mrs. Ryan smiled then saw her son walking over to them, "Oh! Jake! Over here!"

The short haired blond made his way over to them. He smiled widely at Miley who just blinked, not really impressed. This didn't discourage him though. He smiled widely and introduced himself.

"Hi I'm Jake! You are?"

"Miley." Miley stated simply.

"Well Miley. You riding or are you just come to watch us cowboys show off?"

"I came to watch…" then suddenly she felt an arm wrap around her shoulder and on her right stood Lilly with a big smile, "Oh hi Lil!" Miley smiled.

"Truscott." Jake said letting the venom slip slightly into his voice, with a slight glare on his face.

Lilly nodded at him then kissed Miley on the temple and lead her away to the stables. Miley looked over at her slightly over protective girlfriend and pulled her arm off her shoulder and held the hand of that arm. Lilly smiled and they went over to Clarissa and groomed the black horse in silence.

"I take it you and Jake don't get along."

Lilly shook her head.

Miley giggled and told Lilly, "You didn't have to get all 'my girl'. I didn't even realize he was hitting on me 'til he glared at you."

Lilly stopped brushing and with a soundless sigh she turned to Miley, kissed her on the lips, then the forehead and went back to work.

"Though I gotta admit that you're sexy when you get all protective." Miley blushed.

Lilly lifted an eyebrow at her and smirked slightly.

"And next up is Jake Ryan!" a roar ripped though the crowd, "Three time state champion, hometown favorite!"

Jake rushed out a dusty brown horse and quickly raced around two barrels and the three jumps set up. One barrel fell over and the crowd cringed. That was going to hurt his score.

"Looks like that barrel hurt him in the end. 58 is his final score. Remember people the highest score you can get is a 70. Ten per barrel, ten per jump and 20 for good time. Next up is the underdog in this. Lilly Truscott!" the crowd cheered, "This is her second year. Let wish her luck!"

Lilly tapped Clarissa gently and they bolted out of the gate. Quickly went around each barrel and each jump at a speed unseen by most people. When she was to the end all the riders come out and they awaited the score of Lilly and who was going to state.

"With a score of 69 Lilly Truscott is going to state is Jake Ryan with a score of 58!" The crowd cheered, but if you listened hard enough you could hear Miley yell just a little louder than everyone else.

Untacking, Jake come over to Lilly's stall and told her, "Better watch your Truscott." then he left the stable with his horse and his pride.

"Oh my god! That was awesome Lilly!" Miley exclaimed, hugged the life out of the girl.

Lilly smiled and hugged back with a wide smile as well.
