If we drive all night we can make it by the morning.
"Stupid rainy day." Valkyrie spat, throwing the door open with unnecessary force and stalking in, throwing her coat onto a rack. She looked around. The place was a mess. She peered down the horse's stalls. A couple grooms had colds, and one was at a funeral. Outside it was snowing. She grabbed the wheelbarrow, some pitchforks, and some hay, putting it outside the horses stalls.
She found her way to the tack room. All the tack was dirty and scratched.a She went to the back wall and turned n the radio to Metro Station as loud as she could and sat down against the wall, and started to clean and preserve the saddles. She zipped through the first ones, and finally took a break, clicking her fingers and wrist as she stood up and stretched, going to the office.
Inside she found fallen post-its, calendars, photos, and ribbons. What the buck?" She snapped to no one, now in a positively bad mood. Sh rushed around, trying to fix everything at once. She took a sp and bite of her snack, and finished rushing around once more. Everything made her feel horrible. She liked everything perfect. This was just...gruesome!

Ashley Adams, though not technically a morning person, had awoken early to visit Ivory. She opened her XLR Cadillac Roadster's car door and stepped out into the pouring rain, soaking her cable knit burgundy sweater and black slacks so much that it clung to her curved sides. She was not a pretty sight.
Whistling, she entered the stable, trying hastily to brush her hair so that it wasn't so grungy-looking. She stopped in her tracks when she heard music. She wasn't alone here. Curiously, she peered into the tack room and spotted a girl cleaning the tack. Ivory nickered farther down the hall, sensing her beloved's arrival, kicking greedily at the stall door so hard that Ashley thought that it might fall down! She debated whether she wanted to see Ivory or talk to the girl and make a friend. She decided Ivory could wait to get breakfast and walked into the tack room.

Cigarette after cigarette Cannot help to calm your fear
valkyrie. Crap, a boarder? Valkyrie glanced up, seeing Ashley enter. She looked around the messy place and forced a smile. "Hey. Valkyrie." She said in her normal, reserved attitude as she paused from cleaning tack to look up. It was easy to tell who the girl owned, becuase she hovered near Ivory's stall, and it saved Valkyrie from asking.
She listened to tires crunch the bluestone, and she saw a Ferrari spin in. Emilie was here. She smiled a small smile. Finally, her friend was here. Some more help. She finished polishing the bit, and looked around. The place looked so much nicer. She'd do the office later. Now she needed to clean stalls.
"My grooms are sick. Would you help me and Emilie clean the stalls?" She asked warily, knowing people usually thought she wasn't the owner and a groom, or boarder. She flipped her BlackBerry open and texted Emilie quickly, smiling when she heard Emilie enter the barn.
Your wise past your years But I don't care
emilie. Emilie walked into the barns, dressed casually in big sunglasses, a black hoodie, black jeans, and black Converses(s). She walked casually to the tack-room entrance, leaning against the dorm frame after cooing hello to her horse. "I'm game." She announced, not minding cleaning stalls. She saw Valkyrie's grim smile. "That bad?" She asked, seeing another girl she nodded her head courteously.
"I'm Emilie. Nice to meet you." She asked, pulling back her lips to show her teeth in what was called a smile/growl. She did it unconsciously, as she loved to do it. She didn't know why. The cock ticked slowly in front of her, and she looked to the barn aisle. Sure enough there was hay scattered around, water puddles, and some other junk. "The storm did this?" She asked in disbelief, amazed.

Ivory once more kicked at her stall door. Ashley grimaced, knowing that Vakyrie and Emilie had probably heard the unmistakable sound too. But she was still grateful to help.
"Sure, I can help you. Just let me feed my noisy brat down there first and then I'll help you clean some stalls. Which one's do you need me to do?" Ashley asked, tucking a macintosh apple into her slack's pocket and grabbed her box of sugar cubes glazed with honey.
Then, she took out a box of Krispy Kreme donuts from her messenger bag and placed it before the 2 girls, "Here, you guys can have them. Think of it as a 'bright start' to your day."

You had a bad day
valkyrie. The poor girl was exhausted already and she forced a polite smile on her face. "You'll want to clean yours, and if you don't mind, a couple of the boarders. Lets say, Starlight, and, Flame. If you can do an extra, Shiner's." She said, smiling gratefully as she stood up and dusted off her ripped and torn jeans. She looked to Emilie, who was grabbing a broom, sweeping, and tuning out to the active dance music playing loudly n the radio. Valkyrie yawned and wandered aimlessly to her. "Do Monty's, Scaena's, Ace's...' She trailed off, and then grabbed one of the three pitchforks and started to turn over and shovel out the hay. She clicked her tongue, moving a few horses to one of the indoor rings, one that was connected, so the horses were out of the way. She started with Quincy's, rhythmically scooping out the hay and manure. She finished swiftly and moved on to Spike's, smiling at the little foal and putting a lead rope around his neck and tying him outside the stall.
Everything's gunna be okay
emilie. The girl was humming along the the music, dancing her way around the barn aisle, avoiding the horses led by her friend, and sweeping the hay into big piles. She was tuning out and dancing along happily, pausing t coo over some horses, and continued on her merry way, somehow making the gloomy darkness of the barn seem happier. It was almost Christmas, and she was definitely the happiest person in town. She sung along to the jazzy tunes playing loudly, enjoying herself as she finished sweeping, and sued the broom and pan to throw it away.

Ashley had just returned from the far end of the stable where Ivory was, having gone around the back way instead of walking through winding corridors. She now found another pitchfork and wheelbarrow and began to clean Starlight's stall out. Before long, she was finished, and she began Flame's and finished in 10 minutes. She checked her watch. She had to work with Ivory in 15 minutes, but still needed to tack up and clean up yet.
Walking back to the tack room, Ashley said, "I finished Starlight's and Flame's. I would do Shiner's, but I have to go work with Ivory soon." She smiled apoligetically, "But if you want, I can do it when I finsh at 11."

I got your picture, I’m comin’ with you
valkyrie. The girl looked up from closing Spike’s door and smiled. ”Thanks, I appreciate the help. Yell if you need me.” She added, checking in on Emilie before filling the stall with wood shavings even though hers were rubber mats. She led Quincy and Spike back, closing the double-door after them she smiled, taking off their leadropes and halters and hanging them up before getting Shiner to take in.

I got my headphones on
emilie. The girl finished her stalls swiftly and easily, being not bored, and hen headed straight to her horse’s stall, to bride and put on her bareback pad. She cooed to the paint gelding softly, stroking his nose a she bridled him with the western bit. She was big in English, but pleased herself at her decency in Western pleasure. The gelding snorted and stomped finally agreeing to be tacked as the girl put her helmet on and led him out in only minutes.
