Keith tucked a strand of hair behind Emily's ear and kissed her brow. You know, I'm very happy right now.
Nanina's minds was racing as fast as her horse was. Bessie wasn't used to running a lot and she started to slow. Clucking her tongue, she had Bessie jump a falled branch and keep galloping.

"Oh you'll have to lose to find out of bet everyone there then you get to decided," Summer said guiding her horse to a fence and jumping it.
Chris keep on galloping.

" I feel happy too Keith" Emily replied closing her eyes briefly and reopening them. She reached up with her hand and patted him lightly on the cheek.

Kahlilia got up and left the stable obediently, closing the stable door again but still watching Kelly very closely, and she was visibly shaking. She knew she could trust Roman to go find some sort of birthing kit, or anything that would help, but she was still scared and anxious. "You'll be okay, Kelly." She whispered to the mare, who whinnied at her. One of the other horses snorted loudly, which made Kahlilia flinch. She wasn't sure who it had been, but it wasn't Phoenix or Benvolio, she knew that. She had simply nodded when Roman left, because her lips didn't want to make the effort of moving. She was biting her lower lip and keeping a close watch on Kelly, hoping Shannon would come back soon.
"Hmm," Xavier thought out loud. "I wonder."
He kept Lady in a steady canter, which was already extremely fast for him - it was only about his second time riding, and the first had been when he was very young, so the owner was there to make sure the horse didn't try anything funny. He was comfortable, but a little surprised at Lady's antics that had fallen out of the sky. Oh well, that was okay. He was having a good time.

"I have something good in mind for the dare, X" Summer said smiling back at him.

Xavier's smile changed quickly to a smirk. "Like what? C'mon, tell me! Don't leave me hangin'. "
He slowed Lady down a tiny bit so he could hear and talk to Summer, but not enough so that Lady had actually stopped.

Roman returned carrying a galvanized metal bucket. "Looks like Shannon's prepared for anything," he said, hefting the bucket. "It's got everything that I think we'll need. Now we just watch - we'll only bother her if she ends up needing help. Do you see anything yet? The hooves, the sac, anything?"

"Well...alright I'll tell you one idea," Summer said. "If the loser is a guy they have to jump into the river, if the loser is a girl well i havent thought of that yet," she said.

"No, nothing really yet." Kahlilia said. However, only moments afterward, a tiny, wet hoof showed itself, and then after maybe one or two minutes the other three became visible. Kahlilia could see the legs had white 'boots' and looked at the dapple gray mother. Her rear right leg had a white 'boot' and the other three were black. She remembered Benvolio had white boots and pondered the current situation continuously as she watched. It was almost completely sure Phoenix was the father of this foal - but who knew? If it had been Benvolio, he and Phoenix wouldn't have been at such peace in the fields. Oh well, she thought, I guess we'll wait and see.
"Oh my gosh." She muttered to herself as the delivery slowly progressed.
(This is what Kelly looks like :9 pregnant and stuff of course)
"Well, maybe I can help you with the ideas," Xavier joked in response to Summer. "Hmmm... " Both watching the vast fields infront of them and sneaking little devious smirks at the three around him, he evantually found an idea other than jumping into the river and said to Summer, "I say if a girl loses, they should take off their shoes and walk in the mud. Heh." Since there was naturally lots of mud in and around a river, sticky mud, Xavier felt pleased with himself.
The river was in sight - they weren't close enough to actually slow down completely, but the tiny blue strip signaling it was at least visible. Xavier wondered how far they had gone so far and stole a glance at Nanina before looking back at the fields infront of him that Lady was galloping towards.

((OOC: If all four hooves are showing and there's no head yet, Kelly's in trouble.))
Roman watched seriously, not looking too uncomfortable considering that he had only minimal knowledge of what to do should something go wrong. The foal's head was out now, which was good - that meant the baby was the right way around and not stuck. Kelly ought to be fine. Smiling a little as he spoke, he said, "It's pretty amazing, isn't it? Don't worry too much. I think everything's going all right." Not that he really knew, but the foal seemed to be coming out right on schedule.

"Hmm, that's not such a bad idea," Summer said sighting the river up ahead and giving shadow her head she pulled ahead of the others but only a short distance.
Chris said, "I agree with the ideas but i'm going to win so," he then clicked his tongue making Thunder go faster and pulling ahead of everyone he was very close to the river and could taste victory as the saying goes.

But I don't find mud gross or sickening. So how would that be a good dare? Nanina asked, giving a small growl when Bessie slowed even more. But I do have the perfect idea for the loser. She smiled brightly and let Bessie slow slightly, just enough so she could catch her brath before shooting to the finish.

"What's your idea?" Summer asked slowing her horse and galloping next to her.

Streaking. The teen said simply, kicking Bessie into a full blown gallope to close the last few yards between them and the river.
Keith smiled against her hand and turned his head to pres a kiss to Emily's palm. So where does this leave us? He asked, his dark gray eyes curious.

Summer laughed then said, "That's a good idea and sounds fun to boot but i don't think you want to be the last one there."
Chris arrived at the river.
