Ah, a miss. Oh well. That was intense!
"Sorry Liz!" Mot laughed, turning the horse around again. At least she thought it was fun too. Hm.. try slower? That was no fun! But, this balloon was kind of annoying now. He could try at it later, but he'd just try again now at a canter.
Mot slowed the horse to a canter, passing by the balloon and taking another shot.

"You're just enjoying yourself, aren't you?" She giggled, shaking her head before grinning at the boil; they were here to have fun! She didn't really mind the sudden galloping that much, in retrospect, "I'm glad though, that you seem to be enjoying yourself!" Her grin grew when she heard the balloon pop, and she had to resist throwing her arms into the air again. Instead, she settled for cheering.
"Onto the next opponent!" She announced in her best announcing voice as she looked around for any signs of something pink, "THERE." She pointed at an offending balloon some distance away.

"I really am!" Mot grinned happily. Yes, he was really enjoying himself. He barely noticed his hat was gone, even enjoying the feeling of the wind through his hair. It was a rare occasion Mot O'Boyle felt so at ease without his hat.
Mot cantered onward, Lizzy having spotted their next target. He'd save galloping again for the very last balloon. For now he would canter. Mot pulled the trigger on the next balloon, an amused smirk on his face.
Click. Bang!
Music to his ears. Even if it was another miss.

"This almost makes me wish I knew how to ride," She commented, a wistful smile on her lips as she stared at the unpopped balloon, as if that would help with popping it, "Almost." She was contented with - and enjoying - her role as passenger for now, enjoying the feeling of being on a horse without all the pressure of guiding it... Ah, just like in the movies!
She had just mentally added 'horseback riding' to her list of 'romantic things to do' without realizing it.

"You'll just have to learn one day." Mot commented back. Would he teach her? Maybe, if she begged for it. What Lizzy wants, Lizzy usually got. It was hard to say no.
Mot made another roundabout to pass by the balloon again. "This is actually really good target practice." It beat shooting cans off a fence any day! He laughed as he missed again. "And apparently I need it~."

"Awww, is that an offer, teacher Mot?" She couldn't resist giggling before frowning slightly, tilting her head as she looked around the boil to look at the front of the horse a little better, "It looks difficult to master... Well, you make it look easy, I suppose." Another giggle followed as she shook her head, "Maybe one day~ Just means we'll have to come here more often!" Which she was very sure he wouldn't mind!
"Ohhhh?" She blinked, "Do you shoot things often?" She remembered him saying something about being acquainted with guns before, and she did see a couple of them in his room when she swung by, "... Your weapon. Is it a gun, by any chance?"
Yup, she just thought of it.

Mot laughed a bit. "Might be." He shrugged. "It's not horribly difficult, but it takes practice." At least for him it was. He'd learned so long ago, he couldn't remember.
"Fairy often. It's always good to practice." Mot paused as she asked him what seemed like a very stupid question. He slowed the horse a bit, giving the ghoul a raised brow. "Really?" He asked seriously before snorting and shaking his head. "No, I wield a gigantic scythe. No wait! It's a bowling ball!" Okay, he was done teasing for now. "Yes, my weapon is a gun." He said with a smile.
Okay then! Back to killing some balloons! Hopefully he'd get it this time!
Bingo!

"Practice..." She echoed with a pout before leaning her head on his back, as if all the energy had been drawn out of her just by the mere thought of practicing, "But... That'll mean more time in these!" She lifted one of her legs up a little before poking the chaps (and pants) she had been forced into; apparently wearing those were her biggest concern at the moment, "They're uncomfortable and restricting..."
The only good thing about them was the fact that they helped to keep her legs warm.
"Ohhhh?" Her eyes widened slightly at 'gigantic scythe', walking straight into the lie, before narrowing at 'bowling ball' as she realized that Mot was teasing her. Blushing, she pouted at him before looking away as he revealed his weapon - which was indeed a gun - while muttering 'I should have guessed!' under her breath in a rather embarrassed manner. Upon hearing the third balloon go 'pop', however, she looked up, still blushing but smiling now, as she searched for the next target.
"There! Oh...!" This time, two pink balloons floated next to each other, and she raised an eyebrow, tilting her head, "... You think it's possible to take them both out at the same time?"
[To try: 2D10 for canter, 2D20 for gallop; each dice stands for one balloon. An odd number will mean that a balloon had been shot; two odd numbers will mean that both balloons went down with one bullet.]

Mot chuckled lightly at Lizzy's pouting. "You don't have to learn if you don't want to. Any time you want to ride, just let me know." He didn't mind, honestly. Sure, in a real fight it would be bothersome to have her riding with him. But this was a game. Having her there was fine.
Mot fell silent for a moment as Lizzy gave him a challenge. He eyed the two balloons in the distance, judging them. "Hold on tight, Lizzy." Mot grinned, bringing the horse into a full gallop.
Galloping felt amazing! Powerful! Thrilling!
Just not so great for shooting.
But oh! He got one! "One down, one more to go~!"

"You should get yourself a horse," She giggled, "So you'll really be available for rides at all times." No, she didn't catch the joke of 'riding' at all.
The warning was appreciated, and her arms tightened around Mot as she nodded just as the skeletal horse was brought to a full gallop. At first, she felt herself moving backwards from the force of the movement, and she probably would have flown off if she wasn't clinging onto the boil. However, after that, she was just enjoying the ride.
"Wheeee!" She giggled as they went; she could get used to this. Probably.
"That's the last one! Get it, Mot!" She sounded excited as she giggled again, wondering if he was going to get the horse to go into a full gallop again; as long as a warning is given, she found that it was really fun. There was also a sort of 'danger' aspect to this that sort of appealed to her for some odd reason.

"Yeah right, I'll get right on that." Mot chuckled. As if getting himself a horse was plausible. Where would he keep one? Lizzy would have to settle for trips to ranches.
"I'm on it!" Mot announced back to Lizzy, turning the reigns of the horse around, still at full gallop. They were on a full on adventure now! Like some kind of amazing movie.
He steered the creature back toward the balloon, getting his gun ready again and firing a shot.

She did feel like she was on an adventure of sorts, although she had already told him that it would be a quest! And obviously, quest translated to adventure! Okay, maybe she made that up on the spot, but she had intended for them to have fun, which they did.
"You got itttt!" She grinned as the last target was shot, "We completed the quest! Do you want to know your reward?" She giggled, peering up at him from where she was seated.

"Yeehaw!" Mot called out in victory, a grin spreading wide across his face. He slipped the gun in between his belt and took the reigns with both hands, slowing the horse down to a steady trot, bringing it around to head back.
Mot looked over his shoulder to regard Lizzy, smirking. "Of course I want to know. After all that work, I would like to think i deserve it."

"It is related to ponies," She grinned, giving Mot a nod before giggling, wondering if he had figured out that part already, seeing how they had came all the way out to a ranch and all, "Well, sort of, anyway... I would like to give you a horse, but I don't think those come cheap... Nor is there a stable to keep them in, in school anyway."
She smiled sheepishly, "I found a quest epony on sale! I heard those are pretty rare, and honestly? The first person I thought of when I hear the word 'pony' is you, so I bought it with the intention of giving it to you. Besides, I didn't get you anything for being my prom date but you got me flowers!" She giggled happily, "One of which had been dried so I can keep it forever~"
Not-so-inner romantic? Yes.
"Not bad, not bad," Came the owner's voice from in front of them as he laughed; he was holding Mot's hat in one hand, and Lizzy's clothing and shoes in a bag in another, "Not the best I've seen, certainly, but you did complete it faster than most of the visitors to this old ranch." He grinned, raising an eyebrow, "Seems like you weren't dressed like a cowboil for nothing, eh?"

Mot's eyes widened a bit as Lizzy revealed his prize. "Woah, really?" Mot asked, looking fairly surprised. "Lizzy, you didn't have to feel like you needed to get me something in return. But, thank you. That makes me happy." Mot grinned appreciatively, then his face returned to normal as he heard the owner approach. He had been watching? Well, that makes sense.
Mot smirked at his remark, nodding his head. "Damn straight." He answered back, patting Lizzy's hand before climbing off of the horse. He looked up, holding out his arms for Lizzy. Yes, he was going to carry her down.
