Flourish whickered back to Lyric before turning around and starting to doze in the back corner of her stall. Flourish grunted a time or two as the foal she was carrying kicked at her stomach. She was only about two weeks before delivering. She had been bred to a blue roan stallion, so there was no telling what color the foal would be.
"Working on the farm back home." Ethan said with a grin, right arm around Ever's little waist while his left hand was resting on his right wrist. "Mom told me to bring a girl back home next time I visit. I was thinking about asking you, since I think you would like the sunshine and parks. Then you could visit Tampa Downs. Pretty neat little track, though it's nothing like Ocala is." he said, a blush creeping up his neck as he began to ramble nervously. Her cleared his throat before talking again. "How have you been darlin'?"

Ever glanced up at him, an eyebrow raised, childish excitement bloomed in her eyes."Are you serious? I would love to go!"she asked, her eyes searching his face for any sign of trickery. She had never been to Florida believe it or not and that's one place she wanted to go before she was too old."I'd love to meet your mom, but of course I have to have a ring first."she teased softly. She tucked her head back against his chest and listened to his heartbeat for a while. She took sometime before she answered his question,"I'm a whole lot better now that I've seen you. I haven't touched alcohol or weed since rehab. Truth is I'm happy, just bored. I need something else. I love My horses, but I'm spending all my time with them and I know it's not that great of an excuse.. Just nothing.. Sorry for my rambling."she murmured.

Ethan smiled, soft and encouraging. "I'm so proud of you, Ev." he said, his voice showing it as did his eyes. He moved the brim of his ball cap up so he could kiss her forehead. "I got you a present. Want it now, or later?" he asked, his voice teasing. He knew how excited she got over presents and would not want to wait for it now that she knew he had one for her.
[gah, short]

Ever went ballistic, no amount of strength could contain her as soon as she heard the word present. She began to jump up and down and quickly broke out his embrace."Give me my present. Give me!"she cried, smiling. Excitement bloomed in her eyes as she bounced all around awaiting her gift. She didn't do well with the whole patient thing and that's what made such a spitfire. She grinned and continued to jump up and down up and down up and down.
Lyric pokes her head out the stall, her ears flicking, as her short person went ballistic. She nickered sweetly to her to make sure she was okay and she was in trouble or anything. Her tail began to swish as she waited patiently for her short person to answer her cry..

Adam let out a low whistle, playing at astonishment. "Really? Four? I turn Twenty-five pretty soon. I'm old." He groaned, jutting his lower lip out as he had seen Zoey do countless times before. His face was somehow not as cute as hers. He doubted anyone knew his upcoming birthday, but he didn't care. It was never celebrated, anyway. Sure, the Fletcher's would usually have him over, or send him at least a card, but people didn't really see cause to celebrate. Least of all, his father. It was just another year dealing with the damn son his wife had left behind. He didn't really care though. What was a birthday but a day marking that he was older? He hadn't missed much. Paranormal Vortex let out a low nicker, drawing Adam back to the present. "So, what do you want for your birthday, kiddo?" PV would be racing soon. He'd see if Jessie would swing by with Zoey to root the colt on. PV could never disappoint a fan. Maybe a picture of him in the winners' circle with Zoey and Jessie nearby would be a little treasure. Hell, the little girl could sit up on PV's back.

Ethan grinned. "Alright, alright! Calm down there, Hopper." he chuckled as he took her hand and started leading her towards the bunkhouse where her present was waiting next to his bed. He had gotten her a plain white tshirt from Tampa Downs, the outline of a Thoroughbred and jockey racing across the Tampa Bay was printed on the front and Tampa Downs Jockey was printed across the shoulde a soft new saddle blanket, garnet and gold coloring with a picturrs on the back of the shirt. He had also gotten her a soft white tshirt with an airbrushed picture of a horseshoe with neon pink wings sprouting out of it on the back and 'Ever' scrawled on the front in bright red paint. It was one of those airbrushed tshirts you find at surf shops. He had slipped in a big box of saltwater taffy, fresh from Florida. "It's in that bag, have at it." he laughed as he led her into his room and plopped onto the bed.
Zoey grinned. "You aren't old Uncle Addy!" she giggled "I want to ride PV in a race! I wanna be like you, Uncle Addy!" the little girl was sitting up now, leaning over PV's neck in a rough jockey position, her little hiney in the air. She quickly sat down as she started to wobble and smiled at Adam again.

Ever was so excited to see what Ethan had gotten her. Apparently, he hasn't realized yet that it was unwise to mention the word present while Ever was well...present. She took the bunkhouse stairs two at time and waited rather impatiently at the top of them for Ethan. She smiled as soon as he told her where her present was. Her excited yelp could probably be heard throughout the bunkhouse as she tore into the small bag which held her gifts. First, she pulled out the Tampa Downs shirt and she squealed happily,"Thank you so much!"she said, noticing that there was more in the bag. Her eyebrows shot up and she grabbed the other tshirt, the one with her name sprawled over it."Omigosh!"she gushed and that's when she noticed the candy. She didn't even check to see what it was, she just opened it up and plopped the candy in her mouth."Thank you! Thank you!"she said, flopping down beside him and giving him an awkward hug. She was back up in an instant holding her gifts to her chest. She was beaming and a smile seemed permeant on her lips.

Ethan shrugged. "Careful with that candy now, if you leave it in the sun it will get all gunky and nasty." he warned before pulling her to sit in his lap. "I hope those tshirts fit you. I wasn't sure to get a small or extra small, since your so tiny, so I got a medium incase they shrank." he played with one of her curls before resting his forehead on her shoulder, a small smile still lingering on his mouth before he popped some of the juicy taffy into his mouth.

Ever nodded, leaning her head against his chest,"So are you feeling a little competitive?"she asked, glancing up at him. Her eyes were pleading, though their was a devious glint, and a smirk danced on her lips. She wanted to show off and prove that she could best him any day of the week."I know you don't have a mount with Flourish being pregnant and I have a horse that you can ride. She's need some experience out on the track and your perfect person to do it. Please? For me?"she said, her eyes searching his with a deviousness. In reality the horse ha no experience on the track at all. Ever bad just got her to go into the gate, but with Ever's luck that horse would probably win..

Ethan smirked. "Alright." he said cuddling her some. He grinned and tugged on one of her curls. "So, why won't you ride her? Why are you asking me to ride her?" he shifted her slightly on his lap.
[*stabs brain* why won't you let me think of long posts?!?]
