Jester urged Joker through the gate to his small farm, and pulled him to a halt to view the land that was now his.With a happy grin he dismounted and helped Alex down."Welcome to Kings Jester Stables" He said happily, his eyes sparkling. He started to lead Joker towards the barn."And if you'd like to meet our four other residents, follow me" He teased, grinning as he led Jester into the first barn, where his horses lived.Two brood mares, Darla and Music,a stallion, Dance It, and a filly about to start training, Rave Girl.Rave Girl was in the first stall on the left, then Music, then Darla.Stallions were on the left side of the barn, and Joker/Dance It were kept there.

Alex walked in, her eyes wide with awe. "This is awesome," she said, her voice sounding like a young child's. She looked down all the stalls, hearing the sounds of other various horses. Crossing to the first stall on the left, she peered in, seeing a young filly, smaller the Joker. "What's this one's name?" she asked, too busy studying the horse to look away. She was on the toes of her feet to peer over the stall door better, a few stray strands of neon blue hair still blown back on her head, mixed in with the rest of her short, dark black hair.

"Thats Rave Girl" Jester said as he put Joker in his stall and began to groom him. "I recently bought her..." Because her attitude reminded me of yours he thought silently, finishing the sentance in his mind.
Rave Girl stood and walked straight up to the new human, eyeing her oddly like she was judging her.Then with a low nicker, she nudged against Alex.
Jester smiled at the pair.

[center["Oh," she said, her voice soft. She blushed lightly, biting her lip. She knew he had named it after her, but if he wasn't going to bring it up, neither was she. As the filly nudged her, she stroked its forelock gently, in complete awe. "Hey, Ravey. You're a fiery sweety too, huh?" she asked the horse gently, knowing it wouldn't reply. She sighed, closing her eyes for a moment. So much had changed, and yet so little. Jester and her were just as close as ever. But yet, she felt like some dynamic between them had changed. She couldn't identify it, but she didn't care. She was just happy to have him back in her life again.[/center]

Once he had finished grooming Joker, Jester went into a small office in the barn and turned on the radio/cd player, playing his favorite mix CD.Immediatly famaliar music blasted from the well-worn speakers. "Looking back of the beginning of this And how life was Just you and me and love and all of our friends Living life like an ocean But now the current's only pulling me down It's getting harder to breathe It won't be too long and I'll be going under Can you save me from this?
'Cause it's not my time I'm not going There's a fear in me it's not showing This could be the end of me And everything I know Ooo but I won't go
I look ahead to all the plans that we made And the dreams that we had I'm in a world that tries to take them away Oh but I'm taking them back 'Cause all this time I've just been too blind to understand What should matter to me My friend, this life we live is not what we have It's what we believe" Its Not My Time by 3 Doors Down blasted from the speakers as he began to feed the hrses, trying hard to keep his mind off of Alex and how pretty she looked.Why was he thinking these odd thoughts? They were pretty much brother and sister!

Alex sighed, reluctantly turning away from Rave Girl. She watched as Jester went about his job, her eyes still bright. She had almost forgotten about earlier, being jumped by the horse, but not quite. "Hey, I want to help. You're not going to have to do this alone anymore, silly," she said, walking over to him and fake punching him on the arm. "Now, what do these horses eat?" She bounced with the beat of the music, still extremely energetic.

Jester grinned."Half a bale each and a cup of grain" He told her."Except for Darla.She gets a whole bale" He said, consulting the list of feeds on the wall. Darla had been confirmed pregnant last week, with Jokers foal. He climbed up into one of the lofts and began tossing down bales. "Think you could get the grain for me?" He asked

"Sure," she replied, her voice merry. Skipping over to what she figured was grain barrel-she was correct-she looked around until she found some cups, each one labelled with a name. Alex grinned, and begin filling them as quickly as possible. When she had finished with the last one, she lined them all up neatly on the ground in front of the grain, with the names facing out. She pulled her fingers through her hair, fixing her bangs quickly, as she looked up towards the hay loft where Jester was. "Done!" she yelled, extremely proud of herself. Maybe life here isn't going to be too hard, she thought to herself, still smiling.

Silver and Double R stood silently as they heard a humans voice, but then another spoke. They knew they shouldn't be here, around here or even 10 miles within this place, but they were to hungry and had ignored what their instincts told them. They couldn't find any food around these lands, and truely were never taught was was good to eat and what wasn't. RR jumped backwards as a bale of hay was throne down, forgetting there was a stall door behind her and slammed into it. They both now stood near the last stall in the barn, hiding carefully in the shadows. She stood shivering in fear not knowing exactly where the people were and from her past knew it wasn't a good situation. Her and Silver were both skin and bones, their body's had already started to eat away at their muscle tissue. They looked at eachother and both shook violently remembering what had happened previously in the past; The beatings mostly came up but a few others popped into their minds. Neither moved in the fear that they might be spotted but they watched closely waiting for the chance to bolt and not be shot at if they had guns.

Jester grinned as he swung down from the loft easily, then dumped the grain in each of the horses grain boxes.He gestured towards some grooming kits. "Could you groom Rave Girl while I groom Dance It?" Grabbng a grooming kit, he ducked into Dance Its stall as Pretty Rave Girl came on.He began to groom Dance It carefully
Jethro came up behind the two horses, smirking. "Boo!" He shouted chuckling. "What brings two skin and bones wild horses to a humans farm?" He asked, watching them easily. "Dont look so scared, I've never seen the human boy hurt any of the horses.They all live pretty contented lives, though I dont see why they would want to not be free."

Double R jumped forward and spun around quickly before she started to back up, her hooves silent on the floor. Silver stood and lowered his head still shaking. He didn't seem like he was going to harm them, but then again nobody could be trusted. He soon backed away and stood infront of RR incase the horse came after them. "We were just looking for food. We have been tied to a fence post with nothing but dirt around us for the last 2 months." Silver replied trembelling.

Alex nodded, she grabbed one of the grooming kits, biting her lip. When she was young, she had taken lessons at a small stable, but not for quite a while. She vaguely remembered what order to use the brushes in, and she could only pray that it was correct. Sliding into Rave Girl's stall, she paused for a moment, listening to the music. "Theme song!" she trilled, dancing along with the music, a contened grin on her face as she began to groom Rave Girl.

Jester chuckled as he watched her, then began to groom Dance It.When the stallion tried to bite him, he scolded gently ."Nu uh! Im not food, and your hays right there.Eat that instead"
Alessa appeared beside Jethro and bumped him away from the pair. "Shoo you" She said laughing "Your probably scaring them more" She grinned at the two. "Im Alessa, and thats my friend Jethro.Im the only one allowed to call him that though, he prefers Jeth."

Alex hummed softly under her breath as she brushed, small facts from her lessons coming back. She breathed in deeply, the smell of hay and horses, filling her senses. The smile that hadn't left her face in over a half hour grew wider as she danced to the other side of Rave Girl, still singing quietly. She laughed at Jester's comment. "Maybe he thinks you look yummier instead," she teased.

Silver looked between the two knowing not to ever let his guard down, but they still didn't seem all that threatening. "I'm Silver and that's R." He said and R moved up next to him.
