on this for a moment. "So like, the whole loose, white long-sleeve t-shirt that's opened in the front just enough to make someone drool,

thing?"

grins. "Awesome! I know exactly where to get that kinda stuff! Now the pants~ You thinkin' tight black pants? Or maybe something a little_

looser?"

nods. "Exactly~! And then, of course, shoes are overrated~!" He says happily, grinning as he leads the Korean to the store where they sold_

the sexy looking shirts and pants.

shrugs. "It's all up to you! But if you're on a beach, riding a white horse, I think it's better without the shoes~" Doesn't like shoes_

anyways, so his opinion might be a bit biased.

nods happily. "Bingo!!! Alrighty then, here's the shirts 'n pants!" Gestures to the racks of clothing. "Just find somethin' that fits and_

looks extra sexy!"

him a thumbs up! d(>w<)b

rolls his eyes. "Ffft, do I think it's romantic? Of course I think it's romantic!!!!!" Grins.

"Well first we gotta pay for the clothes, and then we'll find you a horse! To get a horse for free, you're gonna hafta come down to my place

in Texas~! I've got a thoroughbred draft cross that'll work awesomely~!"

him a thumbs up. "No problem, man!!"

leads them out to his car and gets in the driver's side, starting up the car. "So who's the lucky guy you're getting married to?"

backs out of the parking space and starts driving towards his Texas home. "Oh really? Awesome! Congrats!!! Dude, I had no idea you and Kiku_

were together!.......That or I forgot!" He says, a sheepish smile on his face.

a bit guilty for forgetting....which he probably did..... "I guess it just kinda slipped my mind with Iggy being around and distracting me_

all the time, sorry! But it's good that you guys are happy!! When's the wedding gonna be??"

pouts at this. "Really? Man! Mattie didn't tell me anything about that!!"

goes back to grinning now. "Oh yeah? Like what?"

"Awesome!!! That sounds so cool!!" >w<

nods. "I get ya. But lemme tell ya, you're already awesome as you are! Even if you don't do all this stuff, I'm sure Kiku'll still love you_

just as much!!"

glances over at him and grins brightly. "Then I'd better train you extra hard to be a hero, huh~?"

nods. "Alright~! But! It'll cost ya~"

"An invite to this awesome wedding of yours!!" >w<b

"Awesome! I'll bump you up to the advanced lessons in being a hero then!" Refrains from striking to drastic of a pose since he's driving.

beams right back. "Keep thinkin' that, and you *will* be!!"

nods, and adds, "Always think of others before yourself!"

"Always be polite and curteous(sp..)!"

"Even little things like helping old ladies across the street and rescuing kitties from trees can make you a hero!"

nods happily. "Yep! Everybody can be a hero if they try!" Pouts now. "But there's a lot of people that don't wanna try..."

laughs at Yong Soo's solution for this, and nods again. "Alright!"

nods, and turns onto a rural road, driving further into the countryside until no other buildings are visible except for a few houses_

here and there. Not long after he turns down his driveway, and parks in front the garage, turning off the car. He takes a big breath and_

lets out an audible sigh of happiness. "Ahhhh, there's nothin' like the scent of wilderness!"

laughs. "I *wish* I had tigers here! That'd be so awesome! But my horses wouldn't like it too much..." Thinks on that for a minute before_

snapping out of his little thought bubble. "Anyways! Yeah, this is where I keep my horses 'n stuff! Come on!" He exclaims happily, leading_

Yong Soo to the barn that's not too far off from the house.

would *love* to go hiking and see tigers!! *W* Alfred leads him inside a side door to the barn, and as soon as they enter, a chorus of_

whinnies arises, and the horses start to move about restlessly. Alfred laughs at this, a bit of a sheepish grin on his face. "I know, I_

know guys, I haven't let you out all day, but hold on for just a little longer and I promise I'll leave you out overnight too!" At this the_

horses settle down, and Al grins, leading Yong Soo towards one of the stalls that houses a huge white horse. "This here is Patriot! I think_

she'll work great with that image you're tryin' capture!"

grins and reaches up to rub her forehead as she nickers softly, and laughs when Patriot lowers her head and bumps Yong Soo lightly. "Well_

lookit that! She likes ya!"

hums lightly. "So d'ya wanna test-ride 'er? I'll put 'er halter on 'er and you can just sit on 'er back while I lead 'er around!"

nods and slips his jacket off his shoulders, trading it for the halter that's hanging on Patriot's stall door. He then slides the door_

aside just enough that he can walk in and put her halter on before sliding the door all the way open. "It'll be easier if you get on when_

we're outside, that way she won't fidget!" He leads them to the big barn doors then and easily slides them open, whistling a tune while_

they walk out into the pasture.

stops when they're a good distance from the barn, Patriot coming to a stop behind him. "That's good! Now I think I'm gonna hafta give ya a_

leg-up since she's so tall!" Lets the halter rope drop softly to the ground then, saying something in Native American before walking to_

Patriot's side. "Now I want cha ta reach up and grab the end of 'er mane, near her withers!" He instructs.

leans over, linking his fingers together. "Now put your foot in my hand, and on the count of three, I'm going to push you up, and you're_

gonna swing you're leg over to the other side!"

counts off, "Oooone, twooo," lowering and raising Yong Soo's foot to get him ready, "Three!" He then easily pushes Yong Soo up.

grins back up at him and gives him a thumbs up. "Good job fer yer first time!" He praises Patriot then and thanks her, all in Native_

American, and picks up the halter rope again. "Now all we're gonna do is walk, but if ya need ta hang onto somethin', just grab 'er mane!"

happily starts leading Patriot forward, not really having to direct her for her to follow him. He then snickers and glances back at Korea._

"So your balls aren't getting crushed too bad, are they?"

nods. "That's good! Cause if yer gonna do anything faster than a walk, you need balls of steal!" =w=b

laughs at the face. "With that face ya look like ya want ta try out a faster speed! Don't tempt me~!"

"If you say so~~!" He says, clicking a couple times to get Patriot to speed up to a trot, and jogging beside her.

baffled by this, since a trot is such a bouncy gait. o_o

shrugs to himself, some people have the weirdest immunities... He then grins again, humming lightly to himself as he jogs beside his horse.

((Oh dear lord....AND OASHJDLFJASLKDJFLAKSD I *NEED* TO SEE THE REST OF THAT MOVIE HOLY EF.))

laughs and slows Patriot down to a walk. "Man, I'm pretty surprised you didn't fall off!"

(( *-* WHERE CAN I FIND IT?!!?))

laughs again, shaking his head. "I shoulda figured! It seems like all you Asians have awesome balance!!"

(( I bet!! *w* And THANK YOU *TACKLES* <3333))

on this for a moment, before he has an idea. "Hey, since I'm teaching you how to be a hero, can you teach me some martial arts??"

beams right back. "Awesome! D'ya think it'll impress Iggy???" *w*

smiles happily, nodding. "It's so cool!"

looks hopefully up at him. "Ya think so?"

also getting excited now~ >w< "Well anyways, d'ya think you'll be wantin' ta do any can'erin' or gallopin' too?"

nods. "Yep! But sometimes a light gallop is just as good!"

hums. "Whatever you wanna do~!"

looks up to him with bright eyes. "Personally? I like to gallop! It makes you feel almost like you're flying!" *w*

nods and leads them back to the barn, slipping Patriot's halter off and tossing it near the door so he can find it again. "Alright then!_

Scoot up a little bit so I can get up there too!"

places his hands on Patriot's back and takes a moment to prepare before easily swinging himself up onto the horse's back before scooting_

up. "Alright! Now it might take a little bit to get used to guiding her without reigns, but once you figure out how to tug on different_

parts of her mane and how to guide her with your legs, it'll be easy!" He reaches around Yong Soo then to show him the different spots_

of mane that Patriot is used to being guided by, and explains to him how to position his legs to turn her more easily and get her to speed_

up or slow down. "Now, ease her into a walk!"

laughs lightly and slows her down, speaking to her in Native American again. "It's alright! It's difficult to ride bareback and without_

reigns! You wont get it on your first try!" Slows her to a stop now. "Now, try it again! Remember, easy, all we want is a little walk!"

grins and nods. "Good! Now just keep her at a walk for now, and direct her towards that more open area!" He instructs, pointing to said area

.

"Good job!" He's silent then, letting them get a little farther away from the barn. "Alright, now ease her into a trot!"

praises him again when he does it right, and waits for a moment before instructing him to ease her into a lope.

"Just squeeze her sides a bit! All a lope is is a slow canter!"

grins happily. "No problem! And when you're ready, you can ease her into a gallop~!"

happy that Yong Soo is catching on so quickly~ "Isn't this awesome~? The wind whipping around you?" He calls over said wind, grinning.

nods back. "Kiku'll love it!!"

"He will! Believe me! Now~ Let's see if you can slow her down~!"

pats him on the back. "Nice job~! Just remember all o' that and you'll be good for your wedding day~!"

him a thumbs up. "No problem! And the rest of your hero lessons'll start soon, too! So be ready!!"
