Hello everyone! Hope life has been wonderful for you all! It's the weekend! Finally! Even though yesterday was pretty stinking funny.

I have to tell ya'll this story! Sorry.

Ok, me and one of my best friends Sheaylan were sitting in math class, and we were talking about music and were singing 'My First Kiss' by 3OH!3 and 'California Gurls' by Katy Perry, like really loud and our teacher, Ms. Beaty was just laughing at us as well as the rest of the class. Yeah, I know. Really weird! We always act like complete fools and give everyone a good laugh. Well, this guy that supposedly liked me or something last year, sits in a row behind me, and a seat over, and then one of my friends since like before kindergarten sits behind me, and beside him (the boy's girlfriend) but she had a dr.'s appointment, so she wasn't there, anyways, while we were 'talking' , as we called it, Sheaylan just looked at me and her expression was kinda like the one where you are freaked out about something, so yeah. I asked her what it was, and she just whispered, 'Zach keeps staring at us,' Well I guess he was talking to another one of my friends, (I am friends with almost everyone in my grade) or she wouldn't have said that. I just started laughing again, and her eyes got all wide and she said, 'He's doing it again!' I couldn't stop laughing. It was pretty funny. Sorry, just thought about telling you about how weird some of my friends are!(: Hope you enjoyed it!(:

DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own SWAC! Sad, sad day.

"Wow…" was all I could say, as Hayden told me about how Anaston beat out some of the hardest competitors that even some other professionals couldn't beat. And she just trained for a year! Some of these guys or girls, have been competing in reining almost all of their life.

"Yep. She does almost everything in the horse world. Reining, barrel racing, calf roping, team roping, cutting (and yes that is a western sport. A very expensive one at that. Look it up. I want to learn how. I just barrel race, but not in rodeos or anything), even equestrian, or horse, events outside of the western world. She does show jumping, dressage, horse racing in the California circuit, so we travel there often, or at least she does. She's even tried bull riding. As well as bronc riding (wild horse riding, or whatever ya'll call it. I call it bronc riding). That girl ain't scared of anything almost. She 'skated' down the staircase that went from the top of the second story, or the bottom of the third story, all the way down to the kitchen, just for kicks. Yeah, she got in more trouble than she could get out of, but she said that she didn't regret it," Hayden laughed, as Kayla just shook her head.

"That girl gets in more trouble than him and his brother do! And they get in trouble ALL the time!" Kayla said, exasperated.

"Me, Anaston, and my brother are THE prank masters, so watch your back buddy," Hayden warned me, jokingly.

I just laughed. I have loosened up a lot since I turned 25. I have enjoyed it too. Not being all serious all the time.

"Yes. Anaston is almost as good as the boys, but then again, she lives with them, and has learned how to get them back," Kayla told me, as Hayden shook his head.

"Sadly. She has to watch her back where ever she goes pretty much, and so do we," Hayden said, laughing, "Come on. I'll show you around to get you used to the place. But keep up. This place is huge!"

"I can already tell. Who knew horses could live such a luxurious life?" I asked, as I looked around the stable with awe.

The stalls where the horses stayed, were huge! (I will post a link to my page with pictures of the stalls so ya'll can see how big, and pics of King and some of the other horses that are gonna be in the story soon :D) These horses lived the best life they could possibly! Each horse had what I guessed were custom made blankets outside each their horse's stall, with 'Ferguson Ranch' written on them and then the horse's name, I guessed, because the three that I saw had 'Adagio', 'Aihrbourne', and 'Arizona Sky,' written on them.

Adagio, was a large brown horse with a dark tail and mane. He had a white part on his nose. You could see the muscles rippling along his neck as he pranced in his stall when he spotted me and Hayden.

"This is my partner for dressage. If you haven't noticed his name is Adagio. His color is what is called a bay. We have won a ton of awards together. Which isn't surprising because he was trained by us and has some of the top bloodlines in the world. Anaston helped me a lot, though. She worked magic with him. He was so stubborn, and still is, but not as bad. We are almost as close as her and her three 'babies' are," Hayden chuckled, putting air quotations around the word 'babies', as we stood next to the large horse's stall. I was scared to get too close, and I didn't want him to get slobber and spit all over my shirt, so I stood kind of to the side.

Hayden saw how and where I was standing, and started laughing at me.

"What?" I asked him.

"Adagio's not gonna hurt you or anything, ya know," he said, still laughing.

"How do you know?" I asked him.

"I put my three month old cousin on him, and when I called him, he wouldn't budge, and if I put a little kid on here, and they want to run, and so they start kicking him, he just stands there, or walks, if I tell him to, but he won't do anything, unless I tell him otherwise," he said matter-of-factly.

"Still. I don't want him ruining my shirt. It is a VERY rare Italian design," I stated. It was true. I spent a lot of money on this shirt, and I was not going to let anything, especially a horse, ruin it.

"Whatever ya say man," he said, smiling and shaking his head.

As we walked, he told me the names of the horses, even though I couldn't remember half of them.

We walked by one stall, and the same golden-colored, King, I think they said his name was, horse ran up to his stall door, and whipped his head around and snorted, looking at us, and standing tall.

I immediately jumped back when he did that, as well as Hayden.

"She really needs to learn how to control her horse," Hayden muttered angrily, when we heard someone yell, "Hey! You better watch your mouth, buddy boy!"

When the person said that, Anaston popped up from the horse's stall.

"Sorry, sis. He just nearly bit us, and he's done it before," he stated.

"He's bitten before?" I asked terrified.

Evidently, they either didn't hear me, or they ignored my question, because they both just started talking again.

"We'll I've told ya'll not to come around King, especially when I am around!" Anaston shot back.

"Whatever," Hayden told his sister, before looking at me.

I am sure my eyes were a mile wide, and my face was white.

"Are you ok?" he asked me, sounding worried.

"No! How could I be ok? That monster tried to bite me! He's evil!" I shot to the two.

Anaston just glared at me, but before she could say anything, Hayden reached over at pat the horse on the nose. I stared at him with wide eyes, as the horse nudged his pocket, and Hayden pulled out a treat for him.

"He's not a monster, and he is not evil, he's just VERY protective of Anaston," he told me.

"How can a horse be protective of a human? He's an animal!" I shot to the two.

"And he means everything to me! I raised him since the day he was born. He was the weakest of the two," she started, and I looked at her with a questioning look. "He's a twin. His mom died not long after she gave birth to him and his sister. I spent all the time I could with him, I slept in his stall, and fed him whenever he was hungry. I did everything for him. Everyone thought he wasn't gonna make it, but I never gave up hope on him. He's my baby. I love him with all of my heart. I like I would go crazy if I didn't have him. And I am not kidding," she chuckled, as the horse nibbled at her hair.

"Oh," was all I could say.

Hayden laughed at his sister and her horse.

You can tell they are really close just by watching them.

"He is usually a hand full, but he is actually a really sweet horse when he gets to know you. He's just very protective of Anaston. She looked after him all of his life, especially when he was younger, so he looks after her. He protects her from everything. I have seriously never seen anything like it before," Hayden told me, as we watched Anaston and King.

"Hey, I've gotta go change and go work 'Quila before it gets too late. Ya'll can come and watch if you want to," Anaston said, turning to face us.

"What track will you be on? I wanna come and watch ya'll," Hayden asked his sister.

"The new one. It'll take me about 30 minutes before we get out there, so I will text you when I get out there, k?" Anaston told him.

"Sure. Meet ya out there," Hayden said, before Anaston walked off.

"Huh?" I asked Hayden, confused.

"You'll find out soon," he chuckled, as we started walking again, and he told me the rest of the horse's names.

Well, that is the end of that chapter. Sorry it took me so long to finish. Busy, busy, busy week. I am starting Chapter 6 now! Lots of surprises later, so keep reading, and if you click the very pretty review button below, I will send you a virtual, hmm, well something. I am not sure yet. I will tell ya'll later though. :D
