The Earth Line-Up
"Giddup!" Chichi shouted. Her high-spirited Appalachian stallion, Windfire, surged forward. Chichi leaned into the wind. She loved the way in whistled in her ears. The way it caressed her face and blew her around.
They reached the end of the meadow. Chichi pulled Windfire from a gallop to a canter, then a trot, until he was walking. Chichi slid off his back and led him to a small stream. He was breathing hard. As he drank and rested, she settled on the grass a few feet away. "Well, that was our best time yet. If we practice like this, the 25-yard dash at an all out gallop 5 times, then we're sure to win that race. Don't you think so?" Windfire snorted, as if he agreed. She smiled. Then looked at her watch."Oh crap! I've gotta get back or Papa will skin me alive!" She looked at Windfire."You up for a canter?" He tossed his head. "Good." Chichi hopped on him. He cantered towards the house.

Ox King, or Ox to his friends, scanned the hillside, scowling. Just then Chichi appeared on it. She slowed Windfire until he was walking. She turned him towards her father.
Ox King examined her, still scowling. "Get the horse cooled down. Then get yourself cleaned up. I'm having an important visitor for breakfast." He saw her slump slightly. He smiled. "When he leaves then you can do whatever you what for the rest of the day, as long as you come back before 11 or call." He saw her brighten.
"Thanks Papa!" With that Chichi turned Windfire, ready to cool him off.
"Oh, and Chichi, you're not riding bareback in the race, are you?"
Chichi grinned. "Of course." They both laughed and went their separate ways.

Bulma Briefs stretched and got out of bed. She looked at the clock. 8:00. Chichi would've been up for 3 hours now. The rest for 2 hours. Of the entirety of her friends, she got up the latest. The others were used to the earliness of the town. She had moved here 3 months ago from Hollywood. Her father had made special effects for movies. Then one of the best T.V. shows, Kewl Adventures, they had moved to this small town Querter. She had thought that it was the end of her world. Then she met Chichi. Chichi had showed her around and introduced Bulma to her friends.
Bulma got dressed and ate. She had plans to meet her friends in an hour. She left a note for her parents and tacked up her gray mare, Sprite. Then she headed into town to see her friends.
* * * *
Juuchi Gero patted her golden stallion Fantasy. Juuchi had just finished tacking him. She swung up on him and pulled on the reins, turning towards town. "Guuna! Lets go or we'll be late." Juuchi's twin brother Guuna was letting his black mare, Braider, graze. He was just lying back in the saddle. He sat up. " I'm coming."* * * *
Chichi rode into town. That meeting was so boring! They talked about things I could never understand. She hoped she wasn't too late. She saw that the horses weren't hitched up outside the café. The café where all her friends met. "Hey, Cheech!" Someone called. She turned. Her friends were mounted not too far away. "Heya guys!" She called as she rode to them.
Krillen was there on his chestnut gelding Flamethrower. Tien was on his palomino mare Kushami. Yamcha was on his buckskin stallion Puar. Bulma was on her gray mare Sprite. Juuchi was on her gold stallion Fantasy. Guuna was on his black mare Braider.
"We were afraid that you weren't coming." Guuna said.
"Who, me? You know I'd never miss a chance to go riding." Chichi said smiling.
Juuchi turned Fantasy towards their usual place. Everyone followed. Krillen went last. Juuchi dropped back to where he was lagging behind. "What's wrong?" She asked softly.
"I just have this…this strange feeling that something will happen." He sighed and looked at the sky. "Something bad." He looked at Juuchi. "You must think I'm stupid for thinking that."
Juuchi gave a small smile. "Not at all." Her hand brushed his briefly. "Not at all." She then rode back to the front.
Krillen stared after her, amazed. Then, slowly, a smile crept onto his face.
All righty then! Thought I'd end it with a little romance.
