The return

Chapter 6

Dusty's POV

Emily brought me to the grazing pasture. I looked at her. When I last saw her, her hair was a dirty blond, that went to her lower back. She still has her dirty blond hair, but it's now shoulder length. I saw Dream walk past me. She tried to spit at me, but it didn't make anywhere close to me. Her face went red. I remember back at the ranch, Emily and I would have a spitting contest. Whoever got the farthest won. I nudge her.

"What boy?" She asked. I turned around towards the other end of the pasture. I spat across it. I looked at her. She smiled. She spat across. It didn't go far. I did a neigh-laugh. She rolled her eyes. She then walked away.

"Hey Dusty." I turned and saw Scarlet. My heart skipped a beat.

"Ya," I said.

"Maybe later we could go for a run?" She asked.

"Ok," I replied. She smiled. Then something hit her.

"What is that?" She asked. It had landed in her mane. I heard Dream laughing.

"Real mature," I said.

"I don't know what you talking about." Dream replied. She went for it again. I shoved Scarlet out of the way. It hit me.

"Dusty, you ok?" Scarlet asked.

"I'm fine. At least I'm not the one acting like a baby." I said the second part louder. Dream rolled her eyes.

"What happened between you two?" She asked.

"Dream got mad at me because I said that you and I were just friends. Now I know for sure, that we're done." I said to her.

"Ready boy?" Emily asked. Ready for what? Emily put her cowgirl hat she got for her fifteenth birthday on. She then put my western saddle on me along with my bridle. She grabbed a rope. She mounted on me.

"Ready Em?" Will asked. Emily kicked me into a gallop and had me jump over the fence that leads to the meadow.

"Ready!" She shouted. Will had all the horses. Aztec, Button, Freedom, Chili, Pepper, Jimber, Dream, Scarlet, Calypso, and Sunburst jump over the fence and ran past me. Will and the gang were next to me.

"Ok, you need to round all these horses up," Will told Emily.

"Let's go, boy." She said. She kicked me into a gallop. She had tied one end of the rope onto the horn of the saddle. We were catching up on Calypso. Emily threw the rope over Calypso, and Calypso slow down. Emily took off the rope and we went again for Button. Then was Pepper and Chili. Sunburst and Freedom were next. Aztec and Jimber were after them. That left Scarlet and Dream. We went for Scarlet and got her fast. That left Dream. Emily stopped me. I was panting.

"Ok boy, one more." She said. Without her command, I went into a gallop. I remember when it came to races, Dream wasn't the fastest one. She would do good in the beginning but slow down in the end. I came close to Dream. Emily got the rope ready. Come, Dusty, a little bit closer, a little bit closer. Emily threw the rope and it landed on Dream. Emily slowed me down, then stopped me. I still have it in me. Emily got off of me and hugged me. Dream looked like she wanted to bite my head off.

"Not bad Dusty," Will said. He patted my neck. Everyone went to retrieve their horses. I saw Tony went to get Freedom. Are we allow to agree that Freedom is Tony's horse?
