finally!!!

sidca had made it to the mountains!

She stretched out under a blue spruce and lay there knowing she didnt have to worry about mosquitoes or mud..

she was happy and cool, and thanks to the lake a few feet away she was clean.

sleeping happily in the cool shade!

Rain Cloud walked up the Mountians and went into a meadow. He caught a scent of a mare and followed it. He soon saw her, resting in the cool shade and smiled. He grazed for awhile, waiting for her to wake up.

Sidca fluttered her eyes open, it had been a long journey and she was finally home, she inhaled the comfortable shade smell, but only met a stallions scent, she quickly wobbled to her feet in alarm. She stared wide eyed at the handsome stallion that stood not to far away. She hadnt felt like this in a long time, well she was lucky he didnt attack.

She remembered her stupid brother nevada, some guy! she snorted and smelled the sweet scent of the stallion.


She closed her eyes and let the wind blow her mane in the stallions direction.

Rain Cloud lifted his head, catching her scent again. He saw her finally awake and smiled "Hey, did you have a nice sleep?" he smiled at her. He then flicked his tail "Oh, and by the way, my name is Rain Cloud. And yours?" he waited for her answer.

She smiled at him, looking at his mane..


" why yes i did! , and my name is sidca!"

she said friendly

Cloud smiled "Nice name." and walked up to her. He then looked at her "May I accompany you? Of course, if you are going anywhere." he was kind and harmless, respecting this fine beauty in front of him. He waited for answer from the soft voice he once heard.

she smiled at him " why sure rain!"

She began to graze trying to not make it noticable that she wanted to glance at him every moment. but she kept her head down and grazed waiting for them to go somewhere.

Cloud looked at her "Well, ladies first!" he backed off and smiled.

She smiled and cantered off into the distance with him at her side.

Cloud followed Sidca "So, where are we going?" he asked.

In his head:

Such a fine, beautiful mare... I hope she likes me... Um... Well off we go! ...

" i dont know!" she said quietly.

She looked at him through the canter and watched his muscles move in ease. she smiled and looked into his eyes.

in her head: such a powerful horse, sutch ease when he moves, surley a good mate! ahhh, well i dont know where we are going..

Cloud sighed "The Meadow?" he looked at her "What do you think?" he waited for her answer.

" wonderful" she sighed and looked at him thoughtfully.


she cantered to the meadow with him.

Cloud perked his ears "You decide." he smiled at her and waited for her answer.

" want to stay here? no one has claimed it?" she smiled cutley

then she gave him a playfull nudge with her nose in the neck.

Cloud nodded "Of course!" he smiled at her, looking in her eyes. He blinked once slowly and stepped two steps forward, looking at the open view "Yep, it sure is not claimed. He pawed the ground, leaving few hoof prints "So, do you want to stay here?" he waited for her answer.

" of course!" she neighed.

Then she began grazing lightly wondering what they would do ...

in her head: he is decent...
hmmm

Cloud turned at her and decided to graze for awhile. He lifted his head and saw a tree nearby with a cool shade. He went under the tree and rested, looking at the mare grazing calmly.

She grazed more and wondered about him...

She gave a quick smile and went no grazing till dark.

He smiled at her and snorted low. He got up and looked at the sun almost fully setted. He looked at her "Its getting dark. We should find a place for the night." he waited for her answer.

she smiled and joined him letting him lead the way. she nudged his shoulder as if saying thanks.

Cloud nodded and walked forward to a place he knew. It was a bushy place with a small meadow. It was the safest place he knew since a colt. He went a few steps forward then stopped, looking back at her, waiting for her to follow.

she folllowed willlingly, " nice place" she smiled quietly.

Then she layed down and glanced up at him slightly. " really thank you!" she said from her heart. meaning it with great honesty.

Cloud smiled "Your welcome! This is the safest place I knew since a colt." he layed down beside her "I'll get to sleep, I'm really tired... Good night." he fell asleep.

Sidca watched him and fell asleep as well, she stared into the darkness trusting cloud. "sigh" she went. Then without another look she put her head down and fell more alseep.
