Theres music playing and people Dancing. Blaine and kurt move inside and look off. People are moving toward something on the left side as they come through the door. Blaine speaks to the girl at the door.

"What's going on?"

"Cryer's thought up something new." The woman said and left to the bar.

Blaine puts his arm around kurt and they move with the crowd over to the area where all the people are. They push through to get a look.

In the center under spotlights there was a mechanical bull. It is headless, legless, nothing more than a huge leather form on a plastic base.

It has a bell on its ass, some leather straps and a saddle horn to hold onto.

There are mattresses all around on the floor under the bull. A crowd stands around on all sides, watching. Sam Jones sits next to the controls.

As they move even closer puck was nearby and and asked him a question.

"When did this thing come?" He asked confused.

"First night tonight, they just put it in."

Moments later puck was being called over the crowd by sam.

"Come on, puck, ride the bull." Sam asked challenging him.

"Shit no, I ain't making no fool of

myself" he laughs.

Blaine and kurt move up closer and Blaine nods his hello to Sam and he smiled.

"Come on, two dollars for eight

seconds, come on it's just what they train rodeo riders on Bucking machine." He operates the controls and the bull bucks in the middle of the mattresses.

Newly married, feeling cocky. Blaine takes two dollars out of his pocket and moves up to the table.

"Hell, I'll ride it" he smiled and turned to kurt who told him to be careful.

Sam then called for him again "First you gotta sign a release saying you won't sue Gilley's in case you bust your ass."

Blaine grims, More people are gathering around and watching.

"You ever been on a bull live or

otherwise, Bud?" Sam asked Blaine.

"Nope. Been on some pretty wild

horses."

Sam laughs "This is different. Better use this glove." Blaine pulls on a glove, then strides across the mattress

and swings up on the bull.

Blaine Then grins exctedly "How do you ride this goddamn thing?"

"You Put your left nut in your right

hand and hang on." Sam stated while everyone laughed. "You ready?"

Blaine looks at kurt and sees the he is excited.

"Yep."

As kurt moves up beside Sam and he turns the bull and it begins to buck underneath him, and he is pro-pelled forward. He hits his nuts. Hard. Then Sam tosses him quickly over the head of the bull. Blaine lands on the mattress.

"Uh!" Blaine let out on impact of the mattress. laughing, including kurt who is upset.

"Oh, Blaine! are you alright." Blaine nodded getting up smiling, pulling more money out of his pocket

as he rises.

"I guess I better ride it again."

He gets back on and is thrown again.

Kurt is scared for him. The crowd is

having a marvelous time. Blaine is a good sport and climbs back up on the bull.

Sam then got worried and gave advice

"Keep your knees up and get as close

to the rigging as possible okay?"

Blaine nods as Sam turns on the bull.

As Blaine rides and rides, but this time he stays on. Kurt becomes excited amd starts to jumping up and down.

"Ride it, Blaine! Ride it!" Kurt cheered as he rides, mastering the technique of staying on.

After a bit the bull stoped "Okay! Eight seconds are up!" Sam stops the bull and blaine looks up. The ride is over and he has managed to stay on. He gets off and staggers back to the table as he takes off his glove. Kurt embraces him and sam smiles. The crowd applauds. He looks at them

all and grins.

The radio is on the local station that is playing a cut from Willie's album "Stardust". Kurt is getting ready to go

to bed and he is moving through the trailer which is charming, but hardly neat. Blaine is lying down in the bedroom with his knees up and has has not removed his clothes and kurt enters the room.

"I was so proud of you. I thought

you were just wonderful you were

the best one all night long." He stops and looks down at him. "How sore are they?"

"Don't worry about 'em it won't

slow me down at all." He grins as kurt turns out the lights in the front part of

the trailer and gets in bed.

"I love you, Blaine."

"I love you too."

Kurt sinks down beside him and he unsnaps his shirt in one easy motion, then reaches up and touches Blaine's nose.

"You know what I want to do?"

"No, what?"

"I want to ride that bull sometime."

"Oh, no sweetheart. That's not for you. That's just too dangerous." He pulls kurt down beside him reaches up and snaps off the light of his side of the bed. They are in complete darkness for the night and ready for the morning.

"Oh, ow, honey, easy!" Blaine laughed getting comfortable.

"Sorry."

Being back at gilleys the crowd cheers and the cowboy lies there holding his nuts, writhing in pain. Sam grins at Blaine and kurt who are nearby. Blaine is pulling on a glove, his two dollars already down on the table and he is second in line. Several girls are hanging around Sam at the controls.

The crowd laughs as he gets up and starts out passing yet another

Cowboy who moves up to ride the bull and Blaine is now next.

Kurt is excited and walked twords sam. "I want to ride it, Sam." He them looked at Blaine.

"I want to ride it, Blaine."

"Shhh, honey, leave him alone."

Sam then starts running the bull. The cowboy on it now is also drunk and is getting a very bad ride and they all laughed.

Later that night Standing in the shadows, at the edge of the circle, staring at the cowboys he walked up twords Sam. He moves around

watching, looking about cautiously. Drew is the bull rider and was at the prison rodeo in Huntsville. He stares

at kurt with a sedusive smile. He likes him.

Staring at him, feeling a flush in him cheeks. Kurt glances at Blaine who is not aware of him. Kurt vaguely emembers Drew, but doesn't know from where.

As Sam throws the cowboy high into the air and the crowd cheers. Blaine the strides across the mattress.

"What speed's it on?" Blaine asked Sam intreged.

"Five. You want me to turn it down?"

"Shit, no. I want to ride it right

where it is."

The downed cowboy gets up and moves away, dusting off his hat as Blaine swings up onto the bull. He grins at kurt. Kurt then smiles at him and nervously glances off at drew. Blaine Then followed kurts gaze.

As he looks at drew. He is puzzled. The man looks familiar to him also.

Drews staring back at Blaine and raises his beer to his lips. He has tattoos on his arms and a mean manner.

Blaine is on the bull waiting for Sam to control it and kurt is at the table with Sam as drew across the way.

"Ready?"

Blaine adjusts his hat once more, and spits on the floor and nods. Sam then runs the bull. This is a rougher and faster ride than the first night, but

Blaine is determined to show off and he rides pretty goddamn well. Sam spins and bucks the bull at the same time.

"Ride it, Blaine! Ride it, cowboy!' Kurt screamed.

People began applauding and Blaine gets off, staggers forward, grinning,

self-consciously, pleased with himself and kurt hugs him.

"Oh, Blaine, I love you, Blaine! Let me

ride it now."

Blaine looks up as drew moves up with a ten dollar bill. He Puts it on the table and starts pulling on a glove.

"Hello, Sam, how you doin' Remember

me? Drew Miller."

Sam has a strange reaction. He looks around, at Blaine and Kurt, then back at drew and smiles nervously.

"Sure, drew, how you doin'? Long

time no see."

"That's right. Long time. Bet you

ten bucks you can't throw me."

"I'm not supposed to do any gambling

around the bull."

"Ten bucks." Then drew strides across to the bull. Blaine and kurt stare at

him. Sam looks around and there is a strange tension in the air right around the controls. Blaine Then became curious.

"Who is that?" Blaine looked at sam.

"Somebody I used to know."

"He sure looks familiar."

Drew adjusts the rigging with a professional air and he looks at Sam. He nods and Sam turns on the bull as They all watch.
