Soulmates; Chapter 23: How to Teach an Autobot to Ride a Horse

Iron Hide transformed to his Autobot mode and saw many that he was in what humans call 'horses'. Iron Hide blinked twice, muttering, "Huh?" He looked around some more, in search of his soul mate: Fern. "Am I in the right place?" Iron Hide asked himself as he glanced down at a little note Fern had given him. Sure enough, he had the right address. Iron Hide blinked and read it again but it came up the same.

"Iron Hide!"

Iron Hide glanced up by the faimiller voice that called his name with a smile. "Hi, Fern," he said. He watched as Fern was riding on one of the horses. The horse trotted over to him. Fern jumped off the horse gracfully to the ground at his feet. Fern looked up at Hide, beaming like a shining star. "You made it!" Fern exclaimed. Iron Hide nodded saying, "Yeah," Iron Hide looked around the stables that were filled with horses with a small frown. "What's wrong, Iron Hide?" Fern asked. Hide glanced down, his smile returning. "Nothing," he said. "Its just...what"s with all the horses?" Hide added.

Fern glanced back at the horse she was riding and giggled when she turned back to him. "Hide," she said through giggles. "This is a stable! You know, where horses are?" "Oh," he said, a little dumbfounded. Fern shook her head then said, guesturing to the horse she was riding, "This is my horse, Angel." Angel was a white cream colour horse, her mane was a graish white that seemed to flow in the wind. Iron Hide smiled as he shook his helm. "Humans never seem to stop surprising me," he muttered, causing Fern to laugh some more. Fern, today, was wearing her riding clothes; a white plaid, button-upm shirt, tight jeans, black cowboy boots, a deep green tank top under her plaid shirt, her hair in a pony-tail. Which was kind of ironic to Hide since she was surrounded by horses. (For the record, her plaid shirt is not buttoned! Just sayin'!) Iron Hide smiled as he turned on his human holo-gram and, as he did, Fern gasped.

Iron Hide's human form had brown hair; sky blue eyes, wearing a white t-shirt that had an orange strip on it, jeans and sneakers. Fern couldn't believe her eyes. Sure Cailey had told her about the Elite Gaurd having soild holo-grams but she never imagened Iron Hide's to look so...so...beautiful. Fern smiled at him as she flîpped the hair out of her eye. "Nice," she muttered silently to him.

Iron Hide chuckled a little at her awed expression. "So," Fern said. She looked over her shoulder to see a cocoa brown horse with a blackish brown mane niegh at Iron Hide's human form, Hide just staring at it in awe,

"You wanna learn to ride?"

Iron Hide laughed.

"Are you asking...an Autobot...to ride a horse!" Iron Hide said through chuckles. Fern put her hands on her hips, glaring. "Hell yeah!" she exclaimed. Hide shook his head with a smirk. "Okay," he said. "Teah me." Fern smiled, climbing over the wooden fence that lead to the grazing field and got the brown horse. "You can ride Brownie." Fern said, hooking Brownie up to riding gear. Iron Hide watched her has she opened the gate and handed him the leather rope.

Iron Hide took it with a confused expression. "Now," Fern said. "Time to learn how to get on." After that statement, it was almost a rollarcoaster for Hide. And Fern would laugh at his mistakes on getting on or just controling the horse.

Finally, Iron Hide and Fern got up a trail. Hide grinned. "You know, this isn't so bad after all!" Fern giggled. "I knew you'd like it!" They reached the top of a trail, looking over to the city with a sun setting over them. "They'll be wonderin' where we went," Iron Hide whispered after a few minutes of silence. Fern nodded whispering back, "I know." They stared at the setting sun in awe. Iron Hide grinned, reaching out his hand to her's, twining their fingers together. Fern glanced down and smiled at it. She twined her fingers with his, too. Hide let out a light chuckle as she did.

"Let's go back," Iron Hide offered.

"Let's," Fern agreed with a nod.

And they commanded the horses to trot back to the stables, their hands still together.
