Chasing Dreams

Why would the horse hate you? Though, I guess they are kind of…moody. I like them, though. Stooop. I don’t want you to get your head bashed in ever. 

I dunno! I’m just pretty sure it totally did. It kept like...snorting at me. I mean, listen. Maybe it getting bashed in would rearrange my brain to make me less annoying. Win win.

I’m going through the breach. I’m ready. Been ready.

I’ll take the back entrance, then, not a problem at all. Give me five to get around to the vicinity and I’ll be ready.

I’m in position, ready for my mark.

----

On your mark then, Mayra.

She was good. It was good to see her, we road the horses and had lunch. Oh, I know you’re very good. I’m excited. It’ll be a fun season anyway. Shadowing was fine. Kind of boring. We didn’t get to do anything cool.

Oh! Horses are fun! I’ve ridden one like...one time. It was super cool, even if I’m pretty sure the horse hated me. Huh. Maybe I should have let my head get bashed in. At least then you could have fixed it.

You’re the best, thank you. I have not had time to cook yet. I went to visit Becca after I got out of shadowing. Oh, yes, that…that is a big plus. You guys ready for next game?

How was she? I haven’t seen Bec since your graduation, actually. I know you visit a lot, but I haven’t had a chance. Always, c’mon now. I’m pretty sure no one’s going to stop us this season. We’re really quite good. How was shadowing though?

Oh! Hi. Thank you. How was work?

You’re welcome. I got you your favorite from that little Greek place I pass on the way home. Work was okay though! Kyle stopped my head from being bashed in by a bludger, so that was a plus.

Of course! Always! I’m…going to miss Becca.

Well, you don’t have to say goodbye forever! You can still visit, and she’s of course welcome all the time.

…hey. I love you.

I love you too. You wanna start heading Bec and Ari’s way?

That sounds nice. We’ll just…figure it out along the way, I think. It’ll…it’ll be good. Just have to…adjust to it all.

I think it’ll be good too. I guess...I don’t know. I’m looking forward to figuring it all out with you.

I don’t think you’re annoying. …what are we gonna do now that we have all this time together?

Um...good question. I dunno! I could show you around the neighborhood and stuff! We could figure out something to do together in the mornings, or after practice or something? I’m bad at being an adult.

Well, I guess, yeah. We just…lived together before, so it was different.

That’s true. But now...well. Now we can do whatever we want! I know I’m not Becca, but you know. I can try to be less annoying.

We didn’t live together.

Well, no, but still. Plenty of couples don’t live together.

…that sounds…really good. It’ll be like we’re actually together now.

Did it not feel like we were actually together before?

That…is true. It’ll be kind of nice to actually like…make money.

Right?! Making money’s pretty fun, honestly. I like it. And...and you can come live with me full time now if uh...you wanted.

You say that like I don’t already do that. Goof.

Well...true. But now you’ll get paid for it!

Of course I want it. I…well, I guess I’m ready now.

Well, there you go. You’re set up. You know the team too. But now you’re just gonna have to fix me when I’m dumb. Which is always.

I - well, I think it is…it’s okay? Nervous about…what I do next, but um. Yeah. It’s good.

Well, you’ve always got a spot with the Harpies if you want it.
