Brook, Jenna & Paige Walker

Brook walked with Will down the sidewalk towards their apartment building. "It's just down here," she assured as she headed towards the end of the block. The building was nothing snazzy-- just a two story with a couple rooms at the top. When they reached the door she opened it and stepped in. She then turned down a hallway, walked up a small flight of stairs and then stepped up to a lone door. "Here we are," she said as she knocked and waited.

Jenna had been inside helping Paige when she heard the knocking. She opened the door and grinned, "They're hereee!" Jenna exclaimed back into the apartment. Brook pushed her way inside, clearing the entrance for Will. It smelled delicious inside. The smell of chicken and mashed potatoes hung thickly in the air. There were sides of green beans and corn-- a colorful tasty plate indeed. Brook breathed it in readily. She just noticed her stomach rumble for the first time.

Paige was in the kitchen which wasn't far from the door. "Hello, Will?" she seemed to ask, making sure she got his name right. "Have a seat," She said with a fleeting smile as she finished the table. She would get to the real talking once they were settled. She figured they all must be starving after today.

Brook and Jenna took their seats around the table. An empty seat sat next to Brook. "I hope you like food." Jenna said to Will. She was making a reference to Paige's cooking-- she was actually, surprisingly enough to her sisters, a good cook. Once everyone was seated, they would pass the food around.

"So, I heard about what happened. I'm sure Lady will be fine. It's fortunate to have someone with such knowledge around, too," Paige spoke, words directed to both Brook and Will.

Will Vincent

He nodded and went to a seat by Brook. He looked at her ''Its happened to me before but mine was worse. Brook was lucky it wasnt worse than it is'' He said.

He smiled and looked at Jenna ''I will eat mostly anything'' he said and laughed. ''I just keep in shape most the time cause if I dont I wont be able to do what I want to do later in life'' he said. He was smart for his age. He knew most stuff that 16 year olds wont learn 'til their in their 20's or close to that. He looked around their apartment ''Nice place'' he said to all of them.

Paige, Brook & Jenna Walker

Paige took on a new look, something between concern and disbelief. However, she did believe him, it was just that anything worse would be just that much more serious. She dished out some potatoes and then placed a piece of chicken on her previously empty plate. She passed the food around.
"She is very lucky," she said as she looked at Brook. She then shook her head. "Let's hope we don't have any more freak accidents going on," she stated. Lately anymore she felt like she was her sisters' mother instead of an older sister. Come to think of it, she sorta was out here. Once her plate was filled she began to eat.

Jenna sat there, and although it was a rather serious thing, she couldn't help but let a chuckle slip. At this Brook gave her a push. "No pushin' during dinner," Paige said rather nonchalantly. There she went being a mother again.

Brook shook her head. "It must have been a gopher hole or something," she stated, "I'm sticking to the trails now." She began to dig into her food hungrily once it was all on her place. She was starving! Her stomach was begging for food. Partly out of annoyance at Jenna and partly out of hunger, she attacked the chicken with her fork. Then she started on the poor potatoes.

Will Vincent

After the three girls had gotten their food, he got his own. He had been raised to treat a woman with respect and manners. He smiled but it soon faded as he herd Brook ''You dont have to stick to the trails. I wouldnt I would just be a lot more careful next time. I am a lot more careful each time I go, but I dont give up on riding in the prairie.'' he said. After he had finished filling his plate he started eatinh

''Paige this is wonderful, Thank You'' he said and smiled. It was very good almost like a pro. He kept eating and after he was done. He took his plate to the kitchen and rinsed it off.

Paige, Brook & Jenna Walker

Paige looked at Will and smiled. "It's always nice having people over for dinner," she stated, "Especially those who appreciate your food." She then looked at Brook, "Yes, just be more careful from now on." she stated.

Brook was now spearing some of her green beans. "I will, definitely." She swallowed a mouthful of them. "I'd hate to stop riding there," she said. She just hated the thought of Ladybird being the one stuck with the messed up leg. Here she was, perfectly fine.

Soon enough all three of them finished the food on their plates and were also taking them to the kitchen. They each rinsed them off. Once everything was in order, Paige and Jenna headed for the living room. They both sat down on the couch. "Our show's on!" Jenna seemed to almost squeal.

Brook stayed with Will. For once that new show didn't make her dash for her spot on the couch. "I might go out tomorrow to check on Ladybird. Maybe let her exercise that leg," she said thoughtfully. A bit of lunging might do her some good. Yes, that's what she'd do. "Would you like to go?" she asked him, preferring if he did. Her sister usually kept her company but sometimes a new face was nice. That and she liked his knowledge of Ladybird's injury.

Will Vincent

He nodded to Brook ''Ill come, maybe let Kree out into the pasture and then put him back in the stall after we'er done. We could go somewhere tomorrow besides going to help Ladybird.'' he said and looked around. He opened a few cabnets til he found a cup. He took one down and filled it up with water. He passed Brook and sat in one of the chairs near the sofa.

Paige, Brook & Jenna Walker

Brook smiled and nodded, "Okay, great." Following Will, she also grabbed a glass from the cabinet but instead opened the fridge. She looked inside. There was some lemonade and iced tea. She took some of the tea and poured it into her glass. Afterwards she joined Will again and took a seat in another chair. "So we have a plan, then." she said, glad she would have some company. She then looked over to her sisters. Paige was dozing off. Jenna was watching the TV intently.

Will Vincent

Will nodded ''Yep'' he said and looked at Paige he laughed as the three were all different in ways but also in lots of ways they were the same. He drank some of his water. He then looked at the TV and started dozing off. He shook his head and set his glass down. He then sat up and looked at the TV

Brook & Jenna Walker

Seeing everyone's drooping eyelids was causing Brook to become sleepier. She was suddenly feeling more tired than she thought. Maybe it was the food... Eating always had that effect on her. She emitted a nice long yawn before checking the time. It was getting rather late. She then looked over to Will and, lo and behold another yawn surfaced. "You can go to bed if you'd like, I know I might." she offered, motioning toward the spare bedroom. The events of today had also put her into a very tired state and she could feel her raring to hit her big fluffy pillow... She smiled.

"Ready for bed already?" Jenna said as she walked out to the kitchen. A commercial was on. Brook simply nodded.

Will Vincent

Will shook his head no. ''I have to call my brother first and then my sister to let them know where I am.'' he said. He got up and went to the kitchen pouring his water out in the sink and setting the glass down. He pulled his cell phone out of his back pocket. He went to his room.

He reappeared with his shirt off and in his jeans only. ''They know where I am. Ill see you in the morning. Night'' he said. He went into his room.

Paige, Brook & Jenna Walker *snoring*

Soon enough-- or at least it felt soon, Brook was stirring. Her eyelids fluttered open very slowly as she let out a grumble. Something was poking her. Or someone. She immediately rolled over with her arm outstretched and hand balled into a fist. She smiled when she felt her hand make contact and she heard a yelp behind her.

"Ow!" the offender said as she rubbed her head. It was Jenna. "You have to get up, it's already after eleven in the morning! Paige said so," the girl stated matter-of-factly as she stood and then left the room with a shrug.

Brook sighed, about to doze off again, but then remembered Will. She quickly got out of bed and threw on an older pair of jeans and a long sleeve sweater. She checked herself in the mirror for a couple seconds as she pulled her light brown hair back into a ponytail. As she typically did when she was just going to the barn, she skipped any make-up. Finally she dashed out of the bedroom and into the kitchen. "I'm up!" she exclaimed as she took a seat. She searched for Will.

"Well it's about time; I had to hold off breakfast for you," Paige said as she once again had the table set. Just bowls this time, as they were having cereal. There was a choice of Honey Nut Cheerios or Corn Flakes. Brook chose the Cheerios and poured herself some. If she was going out to check on Ladybird again she wanted to have enough energy.

Will Vincent

Will woke to the girls talking. He got up and grabbed his shirt. He wore his same jeans from the other day. He walked out of the room putting his shirt on. He sat next to Brook. He picked to Cheerios after Brook had gotten hers ''Mornin' everyone'' he said sleepily.

Paige, Brook & Jenna Walker

Paige and Jenna were both now sitting and eating their own cereal. All three of the girls echoed each other as they spoke "Good morning."

Brook looked at Will and offered a smile. She ate her cereal rather quickly and had it down within a couple minutes. Not only was she hungry but she also wanted to get a move on. Ladybird may need something. "Well, I'm ready," she stated as she got up and put her jacket on. She also slipped into her same old boots. She then sat back down and waited for Will to finish eating. She was sure they'd be going.

Will Vincent

He finished his cereal and put his bowl in the sink. He put his shoes on. He looked at Brook. ''Im ready also'' he said. Opening the door for her and waiting.

Brook Walker & Labybird

Brook waited for him to finish and then met him at the door. She smiled when he opened it for her and she walked out. She checked her pockets quickly, looking for her cell phone. She found it without trouble. She waved bye to everyone and was soon starting to the corral.
