He stretches before looking around for his favorite pair of gloves, "Hey Oklahoma, you seen my gloves?" Texas turns to his sister staring at him, "What?"

"What?" She shakes her head, "Really? You are not going out there today." She folds her arms her hazel eyes shooting daggers at him.

He walks up to where she's sitting on the metal fence, "Since when did you become my Mama?" He stares at her until she reluctantly hands over his leather gloves, "Thank you."

"I don't like it."

"Don't give me that you know you love it." He turns and smiles at his shorter sister now hopping down, "It's incredible up there on that bull as he tries to kill yah."

She just rolls her eyes, "Why do you have such a death wish? I mean haven't you've been through enough? How many wars have you fought in, how many…" She turns unable to look at him.

"What this?" He says pulling up his white t-shirt to show a scattering of scars and tattoos etched into his chest. "Come on Oklahoma." He puts his shirt back down and hugs her from behind, "Just one go then we'll go have some chili."

She gives a weak nod as he races off to get ready for his turn. Oklahoma jumps back up on the metal fence with a lump in her throat. In a few moments she can see her tall brother on a rather large black bull and just as the gates open her heart almost stops.

Texas smiles to the crowd as they cheer but he holds tight to the reigns as he's thrown all around. But for one moment he loses his grip and he's tossed from the enraged animal into the mud. "TEXAS!" Is all he hears as he forces his head skyward to see panicked hazel eyes staring at him, "My God you idiot!"

"The Hell are you doing out here!" He says quickly getting to his feet ignoring the pain. He picks her up bridal style without a second thought and carries her over to safety, "Damn it girl. Have you lost your mind?"

She looks up at him with wide eyes, "I'm…I'm…" she looks down trying to avoid the upcoming tears, "I'm sorry…are you hurt?"

Texas blinks before rotating his shoulders and checking himself over, "Naw I'm good. You alright?"

"Yeah I'm fine…" she shakes her head, "Idiot."

He lets out a laugh wrapping his muscular arm around his sister, "Aww I love you too." He starts to lead her away but she stands firm, "Come on girl."

Oklahoma sighs, "You know what, I want to try."

"What?"

She turns and snatches his gloves, "I want to try." And before he can stop her she's gone.

Texas runs a shaky hand through his dirty blonde hair, "God damn, Pops is gonna have my ass if she gets hurt." He says as the gate opens once more now with Oklahoma on the bull. "Ah fuck."

The Southern state holds firm smiling wildly as the crowd cheers. Texas has one foot up on the railing ready to jump over and help but she stays on the enraged animal for a full ten seconds before she falls safely to the side with the animal running to the opposite side of the ring. "Oww…"

"Talk to me Baby Girl what hurts?" Texas says slowly helping his sister up.

She shakes her head smiling wide, "Nothing but my butt."

"Promise?"

Now she laughs, "Yeah I promise, wow that was crazy…fun but crazy."

"Yeah I was and Damn you're a natural." He leads her away from the cheering crowd, "You coming with me next week? Cause there's a big one coming up in Austin."

Oklahoma just shakes her head, "I don't think so. Thanks anyway Tex. But I could go for some of that chili you promised."

"Sure Oak." He lets out a laugh, "You earned it."
