James' eyes fluttered open as his alarm went off, he was excited for today, but that didn't mean he wanted to get up. A groan escaped his lips as he slowly rolled over, turning the alarm off. He decided it would be best if he got up, so he wouldn't fall back asleep. Almost as soon as he sat up there was a loud banging on the door of his hotel room, his dad's voice could be heard from the other side, "James, wake up, it's going to be a good day." He let out a yawn as he stretched his arms over his head and slowly got out of the bed. He loved traveling, but sleeping in hotel bedrooms for state and national rodeos was never ideal. He let his dad know he was up and walked over to the bathroom, brushing his teeth then getting in the shower. It only took him about five minutes to wash off, then he got out and put on some jeans, a maroon t-shirt, some cowboy boots, and grabbed his cowboy hat. He looked himself over in the mirror, ran a hand through his hair, and slid on his hat before heading out the door where his parents were both dressed and waiting, along with his little brother, Parker. The four of them ate a quick breakfast then headed out to the rodeo, it was the first day of state competitions and all four of them were excited, this was Parker's third rodeo he would be in, he was only nine. As they arrived James led Parker over to a registration table where the two of them both signed in and got numbers for which competitions they were in. Character SheetsNo thread generated.

James quickly pulled the reins, making Trigger weave inbetween barrels, excited for the race, but made sure not to push him too hard so they would save energy. After he had went through a warm up course a few times he made Trigger slow into a trot and told him to walk back over to Lexa and Echo. "See, you can do stuff like that when you haven't already been in a competition." James chuckled. -------------------- Echo snickered in agreement as she watched the two dart off, laughing a little. The mare watched as the two easily went between the barrels, it seemed effortless when watching them, but she knew it was a lot of work. As the pair came back Echo smiled at the stallion, "You're pretty fast." 0 players like this post! Like? |

James grinned at her comment, "Thanks, and from what I saw in the roping event, you two won't do too bad yourselves." He chuckled and ran a hand through Trigger's mane, making sure it wasn't knotted. Over the loudspeaker the same voice from earlier called out all the names of the people who had placed in the first two events, roping and kids roping. James wasn't paying much attention since he knew who had placed from roping and was getting scared as they had made it to the top three for kids roping and he still hadn't heard Parker's name. Then he finally heard it, "Second place kids roping, Parker Burns." James smiled, "Good job kid." He said to himself. ---------- Echo shrugged slightly, a smile still on her face, "Well, guess you would be right to imagine that." She chuckled, "But seriously that was amazing, it looked so easy when you guys do it." 0 players like this post! Like? |

Echo shrugged, "Maybe." She chuckled and followed Lexa's lead t go to the line up, nickering happily as they passed other riders and horses. ---------- James soon followed Lexa and Echo to the line up, James was fifth and Lexa was third, so there wasn't much room inbetween the two. "Good luck girl." He said with a charming smile as the two were separated for the order. Soon after it was Lexa's turn and James stood there watching to see how she would do. 0 players like this post! Like? |

James eagerly watched her and soon she was finished, followed by the guy behind her, and then it was James' turn. He lifted slightly off of the saddle and grabbed the reins tighter. He could hear his family cheering from the stands behind him. He kicked the spurs into Trigger's sides. Trigger took off even faster than he did earlier. James started by going to the right, they went just slightly tight on the first barrel, but not nearly as tight as most people had went. The second barrel went by almost perfectly, then they looped around the third tightly to save time. James pressed Trigger just a little harder, pushing him to his full speed and across the line. As he slowed Trigger turned around he looked up at the time, he had come in second place. 0 players like this post! Like? |

"Thanks, same to you." He smiled as he pat Trigger on the side gently, "Good job Trig." He grinned then turned his attention to his family who had raced down the stands to come meet him. "Great job James!" His little brother yelled as they pushed through crowds of people, some of which were talking to him and Trigger. "Congrats!" His mom chimed in as they reached the pair a little later. (Skip to finals?) 0 players like this post! Like? |

James had stayed at the fair with his family since they wanted to spend time together. It was a very enjoyable day, he had even placed in bull riding, coming in third, so he moved on to the finals, which were starting soon. He had put Trigger back into the stall and let him rest while waiting for finals. James knew Lexa and her brother left, but as time passed he started to wonder where she was. He knew she had placed in both of her events, so he didn't want her to miss them. Soon he heard the announcements starting and he still hadn't seen Lexa. He started to get worried, maybe she was here but he just didn't see her, he thought that until he saw her brother, and he knew they were together, and figured they were most likely still together. 0 players like this post!

James quickly turned when he heard the sound of Lexa's voice, "There you are." James said relieved, "No, you got about seven minutes." He paused and looked to Echo then back to Lexa, "So, need help getting anything ready?" He raised a brow. "And how come your brother was here without you?" 0 players like this post! Like? |

"Wait, so he left you at your house and almost made you miss finals?" He raised a brow angrily. He rolled his eyes and looked at her, "Well, I'll let you go warm up and stuff, good luck girl." He smiled brightly as he pet Echo, "You too." He chuckled and waved to the pair and made his way out to the crowd which was way bigger than it was earlier, he found Lexa's brother and 'accidentally' ran into him. 0 players like this post! Like? |
