10 years later...

"So? What do ya think?" Sam asked Jake who was stood a few meters away with his arms crossed, his 'mustang eyes' as Sam liked to call them examining the dark chestnut mare with a pale mane and tail Sam was holding proudly.

"Nice lookin'. But haven't felt her move yet," He responded. Sam's eyes narrowed.

"Felt? Don't you mean seen?" she accused. Jake just looked at her. There was no way he was going to ask. He didn't need to.

"No. Way. You are not getting on her Jacob Ely. You are not riding her. I only just got her. You have your own horse. You only want to ride her because she is new. You only want to ride her because I have a new horse and you don't! You only want to ride her to check that Sultan is better, which Jake Ely, I can tell you is wrong, because Sultan is soooooooooo out of Eclipse's league!" Sam said, looking very annoyed.

"And you would know that how?" Jake asked, raise eyebrows. Inside he was seething. He would ride that mare, and Sultan was by far better!

"Exactly! You hit the nail on the head yourself! Why should I let you rider? What possible reason is there for me to agree for you to ride her, when you Jake, didn't let me ride Sultan when you got him!" Sam was about to hit the roof she was so annoyed at him. He is such a gawd damn hypocrite!

"Sultan is highly strung," was all Jake said. Sam snorted indignantly. Is that all he can come up with? He didn't want to let me ride Sultan because he was afraid that if I could ride him, it would make Sultan look easy to ride, and Jake a fool!

"And what if Eclipse is to? What is she has a phobia to arrogant, egotistical, hypocritical cowboys?!" she yelled at him. Why is he so gawd damn calm?!!

Jake just raised his eyebrows at her. She marched up to him, Eclipse following behind, so she was nose to nose. Well nose to chest; he was kinda tall.

"Everything is do as I say not as I do with you isn't it Jake?" She continued yelling, prodding his chest. She glared at him. He just stared down at her, something unusual glinting in his mustang eyes.

Wow, Sam thought, we're so close we could kiss...AAAAGGGHHHH! Did I seriously just think that? He does have gorgeous eyes though...AHHHH!

Sam stepped back hurriedly, wondering why her face was feeling so hot, and hoping it wasn't showing.

Jake smirked at the slight flush that was spreading across her face, and the distracted look in her eyes.

"Well," She continued, trying to act indifferently, "I'm going to follow your so called example people are always telling me you've set," She vaulted onto Eclipse.

"By the way, if you haven't grasped it yet, I can ride Eclipse. You however cannot!" And with that, she rode off, in a someone dramatic manner. HA! Take that Jake Ely!

However, she did not expect Jake to run up behind, and vault on behind her.

"What the..." She murmured confused. Jake grinned behind her, and snaked his arms around her, plucking the lead rope from her hands, and steering Eclipse towards the playa.

"Jake!" Sam realised what was happening. "JAKE!"

Brynna and Grace were sitting outside in the sun when they heard Sam yelling.

"JAKE! What the hell are you doing?! JAKE!"

They both looked around to see Eclipse trotting through River Bend Ranch, Jake steering with Sam sitting in front of him.

"JAKE! GAWD DAMN YOU! ANSWER ME!" Jake merely smiled. Brynna and Grace poked each other, pointing and giggling at the sight. Wyatt looked from the giggling women to Sam and Jake. What the...? Surely there not giggling at Sam and Jake as in SamxJake? Well I suppose there not starting a war this time...and I s'pose in the past when a disagreement happened, people settled it by getting two people of the opposing forces together...he thought. Smiling.

Sam and Jake were now cantering through the playa. Sam had given up trying to get Jake to talk. She was aware that Jake was riding her horse. But I'm riding her as well, so we both got our own way...

She was also very aware of Jake's arms around her, and how fast her heart was beating. This isn't a bad way to round off an argument...she thought. She also aware that she was blushing. Violently.

She sighed happily, and lent back against Jake. She felt his arms tighten around her. Her blush increased, if that were possible.

Perhaps I should get new horses more often...
