    Race Course
    
  
  
      Skye walked onto the race course with Hawke. She whistled and her stallion, Jupiter, ran over.
    
  
  
  
      Hawke whistled as well and a black horse ran over, only its hooves weren't exactly touching the ground. "This is Pandora."
    
  
  
  
      "Beautiful name. This grey thing is Jupiter." Skye said, laughing at her father's roman name.
    
  
  
  
      Hawke nodded and jumped up onto Pandora with ease, "Jupiter."
    
  
  
  
      Skye smiled and mounted Jupiter. "Because the horse was a gift to me, I decided to take a jab at my father and name him Jupiter."
    
  
  
  
      "I get you," Hawke rubs Pandora's neck, "I stole this girl before I died and she followed me to Hell."
    
  
  
  
      "Loyal horse." Skye commented. "And you aren't dead to me."
    
  
  
  
      Hawke nodded, "But I am to everyone else." Pandora neighed and dug at the ground impatiently.
    
  
  
  
      "Well, not to me. That has to count for something." Skye said, moving Jupiter to the start of the track.
    
  
  
  
      Hawke nodded, "It does." Pandora trotted over to the track beside Jupiter.
    
  
  
  
      Skye smiled at him. Jupiter neighed happily. "Ready?"
    
  
  
  
      Hawke nodded and smiled. Pandora neighed impatiently.
    
  
  
  
      Skye started the automated countdown and smiled.

      Hawke grinned and rubbed Pandora's neck again.
    
  
  
  
      Skye chuckled and gripped tight onto Jupiter.
2...

      Pandora reared up and Hawke had to calm her down.
    
  
  
  
      Skye smirked and glanced at Hawke.
1...

      Pandora had settled but now was entirely focused on the race. Hawke grinned at Skye.
    
  
  
  
      Skye grinned back and looked forward, Jupiter ready to run.
GO!
Jupiter sprang forward.
  
  
  GO!
Jupiter sprang forward.
      Pandora stayed on the ground and built up some speed before lifting a few centimeters off. Hawke smiled at Pandora's tactic.
    
  
  
  
      Skye kept her eyes forward, Jupiter running fast.
    
  
  
  
      ((Sorry, had to get school stuff ready))
Pandora neighed and looked at Jupiter. Hawke grinned over at Skye.

      ((thats cool :P))

Jupiter glanced at Pandora, neighed, and kept on running.
  
  
  Skye grinned back at Hawke, adreneline racing through her.
Jupiter glanced at Pandora, neighed, and kept on running.
      Pandora faced the finish again and stopped floating. She shot forward and Hawke looked at the front as well.
    
  
  
  
      Skye chuckled and Jupiter raced right next to Pandora.
    
  
  
  
      Pandora veered towards Jupiter but changed direction at the last moment. "Pandora, calm down," Hawke soothed.
    
  
  
  
      Skye tilted her head. Jupiter dropped back a slightly.
    
  
  
  
      "Calm," Hawke repeated and Pandora snorted in compliance.
    
  
  
  
      Jupiter stumbled, watching Pandora. "Tst, look ahead, Jupe." Skye whispered.
    
  
  
  
      Pandora flicked her tail shook her mane while still running. Hawke looked at her, "This ain't a grooming station."
    
  
  
  
      Skye let out a small laugh at what Hawke said. Jupiter shook his head and mane, making him and Skye stumble.
"Jupe, you're gonna crash if you keep that up."
  
  
  "Jupe, you're gonna crash if you keep that up."
      Pandora looked back at Jupiter and neighed in laughter. Hawke laughed as well.
    
  
  
  
      Jupiter made a bashfull neigh and Skye laughed.
    
  
  
  
      Pandora looked ahead again and started jumping for no reason. Hawke raised an eyebrow, "I don't think you're a Unicorn."
    
  
  
  
      Skye laughed.
Jupiter ran along side Pandora so that their sides were touching.
"Oh Jupe."
  
  
  Jupiter ran along side Pandora so that their sides were touching.
"Oh Jupe."
      Pandora moved away from Jupiter looked at him angrily. Hawke looked at Jupiter, "She doesn't want to freeze you."
    
  
  
  
      Skye nodded and lightly whacked Jupiter's ears. Jupiter hung his head and moved back, making Skye roll her eyes.
    
  
  
  
      Hawke laughed and Pandora rolled her eyes as well.
    
  
  
  
      Jupiter lifted his head and sped up for the finish line.
"Whoah!" Skye said, nearly falling off.
  
  
  "Whoah!" Skye said, nearly falling off.
      Pandora stared at Jupiter for a minute before mirroring his actions perfectly so that she was beside him. Hawke grinned, "Oh, it is on."
    
  
  
  
      "So on." Skye replied.
Jupiter neighed happily and ran faster.

      Pandora mirrored his actions even his neigh. 
Hawke looked at Pandora, "This is cheating."
  
  
  Hawke looked at Pandora, "This is cheating."
      Skye laughed at what Hawke said and tapped Jupiter on his shoulder. Jupe neighed and made lightning crackle between his hooves, making him run faster.
