Relena POV
' At least there will be a horse to beat him off.' Her mind grumbled as she pulled off a smile.
"Relena, where's your bodyguard?" Dorthy asked as they were led to a large paddock. Xander was ahead and apparently not noticing his lack of audience.
"Wufei and Trowa are right there Dorthy. Why?" Relena asked incredually.
"Not them, the body guard."
"Heero?"
"Now ladies, we shall get you a horse of your choosing. May I recommend the mares on this side of the paddock?" he opened the gate for them as the more docile mares walked to them.
The horses were mostly from the American west, Quarter horses, appaloosas, mustsangs and some arabians. There were European warmbloods mixed together with them as well. Andalusians, friesians, even some war horses, named for when they were used in medievil times. However most were docile and not very spirited. Dorthy found a andalusian part arab that was haughty and wild looking with its white mane on its glorious neck rippling in built up energy. A few handlers were bringing in the showiest stallion she had seen to Xander. The horse was named Prince o Dusk. 'what a mouthfull' And he was so stuck up that even a horse fanatic wouldn't like him.
Relena was still searching when she spotted the most majestic animal she had ever layed eyes on. The stallion was staring at her. 'who does that remind me of?' The horse had a long light brown mane while his fur color was a darker shade of brown. He had long tufts of hair on his hooves. He looked like a freisian but the color was wrong. But that didn't matter to her the horse was amazing!
"I'll ride this one Xander."
"What? Th.. that one?" he blanched. 'where did that one come from?' "Are you sure? I mean it is a stallion. You positive you don't want a mare instead? Relena?"
"Yes, this one." Her gaze never left the stallion as the groomers tacked him up. He calmly stepped toward her when they were done. The look in his eye was just like Heero's! So cold, yet, it was so spirited. He checked his strength, lightly, controlling himself so perfectly that when she got on, she barely kept her excitement incheck. Forgetting everything she was taught about stallions by her instructor in the academy days, she pulled the reins into position; snug enough not to make the horse figit, but light enough to let him control his head.
"Your beautiful boy," she whispered.
<Boy? >the indignant reply came to her so fast that she gasped.

Relena POV
"Excuse me?" she asked the groomer next to the horse.
"I didn't say anything Miss." the girl answered.
"Oh, I'm sorry."
<She didn't say it,>the voice said exasperatedly. <I did.>
"Who are you then?"
<I'm,> Heero started to say his name but thought better of it.<The stallion your riding.>
"...What?" Relena leaned forward and looked the horse in the eye. "You?"
<Yes, me. If you want to not look insane while your talking to me then think it to me.
<Like this? She asked.
<Uh, yeah. 'She's taking this a little better than expected.' he thought to himself.
<What is she taking well?> Duo asked.
<Not now Duo.> Heero muttered as Relena overheard Heero's part of the disscussion.
<Duo? Wait a minute, How do you know Duo?> Relena asked in an uneven voice.
<Now you've done it.> Heero grumbled, this time totally focusing on Duo.
<Hello? Stallion?> Relena asked as Dorthy started to walk over with her mare.
"I see that you've found a horse Relena," Dorthy remarked casually. She appraised the stallion in a quick way. Then, Relena started to worry when Dorthy's mare started to dance around the Stallion.
<Stallion, becareful about the mare.> she thought warily.
<Mare?> he said absentmindedly. <Oh, that mare.>
_______________________________________________________________________
Heero's POV
The mare was getting to close for comfort. The stallion's instincts were screaming to Heero to either kick at her or make her 'aquaintance'. Duo noticed.
<Heero? You do notice the mare right there right?> He said as the mare got closer.
<I know Duo.>
<Umm, stallion?> Relena tried to get his attention.<The mare is getting a little to close to biting you>
<Huh?Hey!> Heero sidled away. <What is your problem?>he snorted at the mare. If he wasn't a horse he would have pulled a gun on the mare.
<What? I like you that's what.>a feminine thought forced its way to him.
<Well I don't so go away.>he replied curtly, trying to get her away.'Just what I need',he thought to himself as she sulkingly sidled back to Dorthy,'A girl who stalks me, again'. He recalled Dorthy's attempts to follow him around. Relena was better than she was at finding him.
<Asshole.>was her comment as the group went to the riding arena to warm up.
<Trouble with the ladies?>a male thought this time intruded rudely.
<Hn.>
<Don't bother trying to get her to leave you alone, she will keep on at it until you like her, than simply forget you exist. I'm Leeroy by the way,>the gelding behind him and Relena said as they started to trot. Heero found this absolutely boring beyond belief. It was like gossip hour only with horses doing the talking. Or, think to eachother as the way it turned out. None of them except a few of the mares showed any signs of neiging or snorting. All they did was trot and gossip about the new stud in the ring. He finally realized it was him they were gossiping about.
<I heard that he blew off Shaherazad.>
<I heard that he's not really part of the herd.>
<Really? I heard that one of the elders spotted him in the herd last week.>
Snort.<Only you would believe those old nags.>
<Shouldn't we ask him?>
<You can, but I won't. He's scary.>
<He ain't that bad guys,> Leeroy cut in.<He's just the strong silent type>
The mares snorted at that.
Heero decided to ignore this when the groomers were told to bring out the jumps. Some of the mares shied away from them, he on the other hand just looked at the groomers boredly.
"Miss, I would hope not to scare your animal." one of the groomers said.
"Oh, of course." Relena smiled at him politely. <Here that stallion?>she asked Heero as she lightly turned the reigns away from the wooden poles.
<Hm? Oh, yeah. Right.>
more soon people!
