Competing Against The Odds (FreeMustang + cattamer)

[cattamer]

Riley scoffed while she did so. "Go ahead, break your neck, see if I care."


Riley really thought he didn't like her. At all. After all, she had been nasty to him, woke him up before dawn, and all sorts of things. He held up a middle finger to show just how supportive he was of this.

 

[FreeMustang]

"Seriously?" Anna shook her head and flipped him off before jumping lightly onto Private Ryan's back once Riley got him to canter around the ring. Standing up on his back she put on the blind fold and did a couple tricks, standing on one leg, a hand stand, and even leaping above his back before landing back on him before attempting the somersault dismount but she didn't have a good take off and she landed head first into the ground, going limp.

 

[cattamer]

Riley was stunned. She was laying there on the ground.


First he felt like scoffing that she failed, then he realized she was actually hurt.


He did call the ambulance out for her, and put her horse away before heading to the hospital.

Anna's eyes slowly opened about a week later, seeing Riley right beside her. Her own parents hadn't even come to see her though they had sent a get well card with a threat to get sell her horses to the glue factory if she screwed up again, they didn't send her to the place to loose. "I guess that didn't go so well" she said softly, her head pounding.

 

[cattamer]

"You can say that again." Riley retorted. "See if anyone lets you out of their sight now... much less jump off a horse blindfolded."

 

[FreeMustang]

Anna raised her eyebrows "Yeah... Like anyone really cares what I do" she rolled her eyes "I'll get that trick down" she said determinedly "Maybe not blind folded..."

 

[cattamer]

"Why don't you focus on getting well first?" Riley asked. "You know, I'll bet you a hundred bucks your head hurts."

 

[FreeMustang]

"I thought you didn't have money to cover a bet?" Anna laughed, wincing as she sat up "I've got to get back to work... Private Ryan needs cooling out" she said, feeling like she hadn't been out of it for more than a few hours.

 

[cattamer]

"It's been a week." Riley pushed her back down with an index finger. "I've been taking care of your horses and mine. They... may be....spoiled a little..."

 

[FreeMustang]

"Oh gosh! I missed a whole week of practice?!" Anna asked instantly freaking out "What. Did. You. Do?" she asked, scared that his spoiling would lead to them having as bad of behavior as Miles had. She took a deep breath to calm her self down "Thanks for taking care of them, I owe you" she corrected her self, trying to get up again "Can you give me a ride back...?"

 

[cattamer]

"Rest. I just may have spoiled them with treats. Now calm down and stay put till the doc says its ok." Riley sighed. "Enjoy your rest, because I've been practicing. So you have a lot of work ahead."

 

[FreeMustang]

"Riiiilleeyyy" Anna groaned in disapproval "They're probably really mouthy now" she shook her head "No no, I have to go, ok?" she insisted, though getting up just to be pushed back down was really making her dizzy "You bet I have work... Are you better? I mean with your vaulting?"

 

[cattamer]

"No, they arent. They just learned how to beg."


Riley shrugged, "well, since I've been practicing on both Miles and PR, I think I'll be better."

 

[FreeMustang]

"Still.... I don't need them giving me those big brown eyes looking for treats" Anna huffed "Well it's only going to count on Private Ryan" she sighed

 

[cattamer]

Riley laughed. "Well we shall see. Won't we?"


He smirked. "Now do you regret trying to be a hotshot? "

 

[FreeMustang]

"No... Maybe... I wished I would have taken the blind fold off...." Anna admitted, laughing a bit "OK so when is this doctor going to clear me to leave?"

 

[cattamer]

"Probably tomorrow." Riley replied. "Its a no joker dealing with a coma."

 

[FreeMustang]

"Coma...?" Anna asked slowly, it didn't seem real until he said it "Still.... I can't stay here any longer..." she said, feeling very anxious.

 

[cattamer]

"Chillax." Riley yawned. "Don't make me cinch you down to the bed."

 

[FreeMustang]

"You wouldn't dare...." Anna said slowly, eyeing Riley carefully

 

[cattamer]

"You wanna bet?" Riley asked. He was going to do it if he had to.

 

[FreeMustang]

"Uhg... Riley...." Anna moaned, staying still for once "So... Why are you here...? I mean... I'm sure you don't want to be visiting some spoiled brat of a partner" she said, putting her self down to make her point.

 

[cattamer]

Riley suddenly glared at her.


"If you EVER do anything like that again I'm moving again."

 

[FreeMustang]

"Wait, what?" Anna asked, completely thrown off by the comment, he'd move? Where?!

 

[cattamer]

Riley didn't add anything else. How dare she make him actually care.
