  Galloping across the lands was a black and brown spotted mare with crystal blue eyes. The moon was high and it was about midnight, a chilly breeze showed the mare's heavy breathing. Ahead was the widest part of the river and even if she wanted to continue her run, Autumn would have to walk through the rushing water. Across from river was the forrest. There was were Autumn planed to rest untill morning. At dawn she would walk the beach and then probley return home.
Autumn snorted as she came to a hault at the river, her body cooled as she drank some of the ice cold water that was running down from the melting snowy mountains. Hearing a few rustling noises she looked around for the source to the noise.

Rush tillted his body weight against the old willow tree. It rustled in the night, the lightly scented limbs trembling loose. It had been his habit to sleep like this so close to the river where the night winds would cools his aching desire. He needed to be close to this river for it told him great things in his dreams. Whenever he strayed too far, it seemed to call him back again.
He rubbed the trunk another time, stirring in his slumbers. The air was electrified. The little hairs on the back of his mane stood on end. Snort. He shook the cobwebs from his mind.

A creaking noise filled the air as the mare became quickly alarmed at the noise. Snorting once she turned her head to the old tree on the hill. It was a far distance away but, still close enough to pick out the picture of a stallion sleeping. The mare smiled mystiriously and quietly trotted her way up to the tree and behind the stallion. Carefull not to make a noise she reached over and
Chomp took a small nibble to his flank. Quickly she pounced into the boshes and ducked, or at least. She tried.

As Rush pressed himself against the tree, trying to free himself of the confines of sleep he was ambushed. Chomp! The stallion flew into the air with a start. Whirling on his hooves, he braced himself for an onslaught. He shuddered with anticipation. Quiet ensued.
Perplexed, he questioned the event. Had he imagined it? Afterall, the sounds of the river had pulled him deep into his slumbers this evening. It was one of the many reasons he enjoyed this spot on the hillside, for it was the only place that he could be at rest with himself. That within itself was a rare occasion.
The bushes near the river rustled explosively. Aha!

She giggled slightly as the stallion jumped with a startled. As quickly as it began it had ended. He had noticed the bushes. Blushing but, not noticible on her spotted dark coat. The mare lifted her head and smiled looking around the night and then relizing it was the hour of sleep...She smilled innocently and then walked out of the bushes and around the tree.
Curiously observing the stallion as she circled and stopped it front of him.

And so the trouble maker was found... Rush stepped forward with a curiosity, poking his head into the shrubs. Nadda. As he pulled his head out of the greenery, he was suprised to be face to face with a lovely sort of mare. She was dappled brown and black, almost the colors of the shadows at night. No wonder he could not see her before.
The stars above shed very little light on their situation. Cocking his head to one side he remained quiet, unsure whether this was friend or foe. Rush thought for a moment and nodded to himself, braying lightly. If this was foe, she would have done far more than a n** to his flank, which at this moment itched. He leaned against the tree to scratched. A few of the willow limbs bowed lightly over their heads and tapped the mare on her backside lightly, spider-like-tingling.

Her tri colored tail flicked the flies in the moonlight. As she stood silently, swaying with the breeze. All could be heard was the small hops of small animals and the running of the stream. Her crystal blue eye's caught the moonlight as she tried her best to see what he looked like.
A light squel broke the silence as the mare fell to her rump and then stared to her back to see what had touched it. Nothing was around, but the stallion who was shaking the tree. Was he some sort of magician?
"Hello!" she called out happily from where she was...sitting.

"Hello." He whispered quietly. Rush knew that the other animals would be angry with him if he raised his voice. It was a lesson he only wished to have learned once. The last time, the moles had burrowed around him while he slept and by dawn, when he awoke with his first few cautious sleepy steps, he feel inwards to a trench amung the roots of the old willow. Revenge was bittersweet. He now respected the others' time to sleep.
He rubbed upon the tree again, the tenticles of willow sweeping across the mare's flank. He had watched her startle with the first touches of them and now laughed quietly to himself at her response. Seeing her sit upon her rump caused him to chuckle a little louder than intended upon.
"Do ye give up fair maiden?" He questioned her playfully.

Autumn watched him carefully before something brushed by her agian and she jumped over a few feet and then was on her rump agian. She watched him and smiled before stepping a few feet away and looking around. "Give up? Ye think i'm scared!" She smirked and then decided that was probley the way he talked and not to say anything about it.
"I'm Autumn, Good Sir and who may you be?" Smiles thinking she has this 'game' figured out.

Why was she talking so strangely? He wondered to himself. Did all mares talk like this? Afterall, he had only encountered one in his days here. Most were too bashful or busy with other stallions. It was 'the love thing' afterall. He rolled his eyes. That would be the day some mare got ahold of him for good. With a snorted he emphasised this.
"I am well, thankyou." He paused inching closer to her for a better look in the moonlight. "And what brings you out to the river this fine evening," he paused, "M'lady." He would play her 'game' as he figured.

The silence made her shuffle her feet a few times before replying to him. The game had become un-fun untill he spoke agian.
"Where else would I be at this time? Home...asleep?" She inquired with a giggle. "And will I ever get to know your name? Kind sir."

He shook his mane playfully. She seemed to be sweet enough to speak to. "My pardon. My name is Rush." He nudged the tree again and one frail little branch shook free from somewhere at the top and landed in her mane. It looked pretty from where he stood. Almost like wildflowers in the meadow.
"And sleeping is usually what Soquili do around this time of night." He brayed playfully in jest.

"Nice to meet'cha Rush." she replied with a warm smile. She watched the frail stick fall untill it rested gently in her mane. Not bothing to shake it out she continue on.
"Hmm, but thats what boring and normall Soquili do. Wouldn't you much rather be out for a run or waking up random bears?" She stated with a teasing grin and smile.

"For a run perhaps," he began to grin. "However, waking up bears is not something that I like to do." He padded one hoof over the hardened dirt under the trees. The moss that lightly rested in that place clung to him and he shook it off without thinking. Somewhere deep in the night the sky rumbled.

Autumn looked around momentarily before pawing at the groud rapidly "Run, sounds great" she replied smiling. "But, when you wake up bears you get the 1. Walking up of bears and 2. Running!" So we get both in one." She replied trying to make it sound as logical as she could.
