Great, that means you might have a concussion. Keith, She looked back at the teen and when she had is attention said, Take Sahara with you and go grab the truck. Call Dr. Phillis while you're at the house. Be quick about it.
___________________________________________
Keith nodded and took Sahara's reins, then he got into B's saddle and started for the ranch.
__________________________________________
A smirk lifted one corner of her mouth and she nodded. Okai. You see the horse crap and old hay in that stall? Shovel it into that wheelbarrow.

Esmeralda blinked at her for several long seconds. "...Oh." She didn't really know what else to say. The last time she'd hurt herself was falling out of the fly when she'd been doing tech for the play last year. Even then, she'd only sprained her arm. A concussion sounded a little more serious than that. "I think I'm okay," she said hesitantly.

Shannon smiled and patted her hand gentally. I'm sure you'll be fine, just can't be overly cautious.

Xavier laughed. "Well, of course I knew that, babe!" He still looked reluctant though. The last thing he wanted to do was clean or work - he simply wasn't used to it, and didn't feel like making that major adjustment to himself. No, he would not. He was looking down at the old hay under his feet and Bessie's...
and then there was Kelly. In the stall next to him, the pregnant dapple-gray neighed at him in what he assumed to be a friendly tone.
He had yet to see Lady, his assigned horse. She was sleeping in her stall, of which had obviously just been cleaned, judging by the hay.

Esmeralda smiled back slowly. "Okay," she said agreeably. Then she blinked and looked embarrassed for a second or two before asking, "Um...do we need to tell my parents about this?" She blushed and hurried on, "It's just that if we do, my dad'll spaz and my mother will scream and I'll be babied for the next six months, so...yeah. Do you think we could maybe not tell them?"

Emily mounted Apollo while holding the apple and started after Keith. She held the reins in one hand while eating the apple. She had already jumped to the conclusion that today was interesting and she hoped that the next few months would be interesting. Apollo bursted into a trot and trotted past Keith and Sahara. He wanted to get back to the stables and chill with his paddock friends.

Shannon shook her head and told Esmeralda, I'll mak eyou a deal. If nothing is wrong, then this'll be our secret. but if you have even a sprain, then your parents will be notified.
_______________________________________
Nanina wasn't one to work but she couldn't just stand there loking at the dirtied stall, she was Shannon's neice after all. Rolling her eyes, she shoveled a small amount,a nd tossed it into the wheelbarrow.
___________________________________
Keith nudged B into a gallope, and Sahara followed. Soon they had caught up with Emily, and he smiled. The barn was looming ahead of them, so Keith slowed and then dismounted.

Emily turned to see Keith smile then stop and dismount.
What is he smiling at? Emily wondered but returned the smile anyway.
But she didn't stop; she rode Apollo to the front entrance of the stable and only then did she stop Apollo and dismount. She grabbed the reins and began leading him into his paddock outside. Emily then began untacking him and groomed him till his dapple grey coat was glossy. Once Emily finished she grabbed a shovel and started to clean out his stall.

Kahlilia watched as Keith and Emily entered the barn. "Hi," she said to them and was surprised when her normally loud voice came out as a tiny squeak. She smiled apologetically and blushed, twirling her braid in her hands.
Evantually, after quite a long hesitation, Xavier took the shovel from Nanina and slowly began to clean out the stall. After remaining silent, most likely because he was a little miffed about having to do his own work, he said to Nanina, "How old are you? Don't wanna go into the hay sack with a minor." He smirked at her as he said his second sentence. He didn't look up when Keith and Emily came in.
(sorry if I'm being too descreptive)

" Hello" Emily beamed brightly at Kahlilia as she shoveled a good amount of manure into a wheelbarrow.
She was being happy since it was lunch for one. The other was that she would get some free time to explore the ranch after the group activites were over. Emily wiped a bead of sweat from her brow and continued shoveling; knowing that doing a half-assed job wasn't going to cut it. Emily had managed to catch what Xavier said to Nania and made a face. That was why she hated inmature boys and the playboy type.

Esmeralda sighed. "Oh well. It was worth a try," she said sadly. She couldn't remember if her parents were actually going to be home while she was here or not, but even if they weren't, her brother was. Her brother Roman was, if it was possible, even more overprotective than her parents.
((OOC: Could I bring Roman into the story as a character? I'd make a profile and such, but I don't know if any non-campers (well, I guess he could be a camper if necessary) are allowed.))

Emily snickered at what Nanina said to Xavier. She was half way through with Apollo's stall and decided to finish the rest of it quick and clean. She began to shovle faster and dumping more piles of manue into the wheelbarrow. It only took her nine minutes to get the rest of it finished. Emily walked outside and brought Apollo to his cleaned out stall.
"Be good" Emily said while patting him on the neck.
She then walked outside, hands in her pockets and whistling merrily as hoisted herself onto the fence. She was merely staring out at the land and whistling a cowboy tune.

((Sure, you can. And. . . I suppose he doesn't have to be a camper as long as he isn't a major character. . . ))
Nanaina resisted the urge to toss the wheelbarrow on him. I am seventeen. But, I don't roll in the hay with just anybody. She left the stall and grabbed another shovel, going to clean out a different stall.

Shannon laughed quietly and then waited for keith and the truck.

Keith left B in the pasture and ran to the horse, grabbing a set of truck keys off a rack beside the front door. Climbing into the cab of a 2003 GMC two-ton truck, he revved the engine and then put it into gear.

Emily saw the truck and smiled while waving good-bye to Keith. She had spent one day with him and already did she find him a good person. Emily took her hair out of her ponytail since she wasn't working anymore. Her lunch could wait a few more minutes. The main concern for her was Esmeralda and how she got the concussion.
