A/N - I love how much you guys liked the kiss ;) Thank you to MayFairy, Whyna Katran, ameliority, and UltimateDoctorWhoFanGirl for reviewing! I hope you all had a happy holiday :)

And now for some horseback riding, as per Whyna Katran's request!

"Put your foot in the stirrup. Not that foot! Your right foot. There you go, now just...lift yourself up there."

"I don't have the upper body strength for this. Can you help me?"

"No, you need to do this yourself."

"Please?"

The Doctor sighed and rolled his eyes at Emma's pout, but walked over to help her. "Alright, I'll give you a boost."

"Don't touch me there!" She slapped his hands away from her butt, looking over her shoulder to glare at him. "Honestly, you act all innocent, but you always seem to cop a damn feel, you..." Her words turned to mumbles that he couldn't understand.

"Yeah, yeah." He easily lifted her up onto the horse. "Alright, girl. Be easy on her, she's a bit inexperienced."

"What? You gave me an inexperienced horse? You know this is my first time at this!"

"I was talking to the horse." He smirked and climbed up onto his own horse, digging his heel into its side to send it into a slow walk.

"Jerk!" She yelled after him before returning her attention back to the horse. "Of course he can speak horse. Alright, I'm not sure if you can understand me, but I hope we can be good friends and you won't injure me. Um...mush!" It didn't move a muscle. Well, its ear flicked forward, but that wasn't much help. "Mush!"

"Oh, Lord...back." The Doctor pulled on his horse's reins, guiding it back to Emma's side. "She's not a pack of sled dogs, Emma. Give her a squeeze."

Emma squeezed her legs together lightly, clenching her eyes shut. "Is it moving? Am I moving?"

"Yes, Emma!" She heard him laugh. "Now, be careful not to spook her-"

"I'm doing it!" No sooner than her scream of joy left her did the horse rear back on its back legs, whinnying. Emma's screams turned to terror as she held onto its reins for dear life. "Doctor, what's it doing?"

"You've spooked her! I don't know why I ever expect you to listen to me." He spat, moving his horse by Emma's and trying to grab the reins. "Come on, girl. Let's not-"

The horse's front hooves slammed back to the ground, nearly throwing Emma over its head. "Oh, Jesus!" She took some deep breaths, trying to stop her stomach from flipping like it was. "Alright," she thrust the reins in the general direction of the Doctor. "you guide her, you freakin' horse whisperer."

A/N - I hope that was good enough! I had to research horses because I haven't been around any since I was eight, and there's only one thing I remember from that. The person guiding your horse WILL be a bitch, they WILL slap the horse's ass, the horse WILL start running at a high speed, and you WILL hold onto its side for dear life while screaming and crying :P Requests are welcome!
