H.A.R.P Program discussion

This is where the horses stay, and where anyone can come in

Dustin was in the barn feeding the horses. The corners of his mouth were turned up in a small smile, he loved being around the horses.

Miki walked in, and saw Dusting feeding one of the horses. She walked over.
"What's her name? she asked Dustin, stretching her hand out under the horse's velvety, chocolate brown nose.

"Caramel" he answered as he ran a hand across the horses mane before walking over to the next horse he needed to feed.

"She's beautiful, Miki whispered. She let the mare sniff her hand. "Hey Caramel." As she was stroking her mane, she saw Chou stalk off towards the bunkhouse, looking even more emo and angry than usual.
"On the forecast ladies and gentlemen, another eruption from the highly explosive Mount Chou, Miki muttered to herself.

Dustin sighed Chou seems more pissed then usual he thought to himself as he finished feeding the last horse. He had some time to spare so he decided to go for a ride, he went to saddle up his horse, Blaze.

El was still lying in the grass, frozen. Tears were streaming down her face and her fingers felt broken. She cursed to herself "Why do I always end up in these fights!" She knew why, it was because of her temper, but she wouldn't admit that. She slowly pulled herself up and leaned against the wall to steady herself.

Chou walked over to her horse. "Shigaro" She whispered. She's a pretty mustang, I guess. She rubbed her nose softly, but quickly stopped. She didn't want to become one of those girls who become all mushy with some stupid animal. She snapped her head in Miki's direction. "What did you just say?"

Dustin's horse was very skittish around anyone who wasn't Dustin so with all the girls around it was difficult to saddle Blaze. Dustin soon gave up and decided to simply give Blaze a bath.

El heard Chou yelling again. "Poor Miki" she thought "This is not a good time to be fighting with Chou" She didn't want Miki to get hurt, but she knew she could face Chou again. She sighed and hoped Miki would be smarter than she had been before she ran off to the bunkhouse.

Jean walked in, hearing all the ruckus. "Ok, what's going on here? What ever it is, please, no fights. We don't have any health insurance and medical bills are insane these days." Her voice was calm as if she had come upon this many times before. She looked at Chou. "Honey, you better get some clothes on, real clothes on that cover at least 30% of your body. Perhaps riding pants? Riding boots? A jacket? We have some you can rent for free."
Chou glared. She hated this place. She hated her aunt. She hated this horse. She hated these girls. She hated her life.

Dustin washed Blaze while listening, making sure nothing got too out of hand.

Miki glared at Chou.
"You need to calm down, China, Miki taunted. "You know we're here to be good girls. And all of us here know your little," Miki leaned in closer, a small, cruel smile playing on her lips. "Secret."

Dustin cursed silently this isn't going to end well he thought. He sighed and decided to diffuse the situation, he hated dealing with things like this but he had to "ladies, how about we all go for a ride to the river" he said, he especially hated riding with the girls because they almost always ruined it for him but he had no choice.

Chou quickly grabbed Miki by her hair and through her across the room. Before Miki could get back up, she created a wall of water between them. "I'm not afraid to kill you right now, so you better watch your mouth. I'll never be good girl."
Jean, who had an ability when she was a HARP girl, quickly dispersed the wall of water and ran toward Miki and knelt down. "Are you alright?" She turned to Dustin. "Take her to the infirmary." Turning to Chou, she pinned her up against the side of the barn. "Listen girlie, you better get your act together, NOW"

Dustin muttered something as he lifted Miki up in his arms carefully and carried her to infirmary.

Miki wrenched away from Dustin and kicked Chou in the chest.
"Psycho! she hissed. "I did bad things, but at least I'm not a murderer!!" She quickly tapped into her ability and saw Chou lunging at her. She quickly stepped out of the way, back to Dustin.
"You can take me to the infirmary now, she snapped. "Seeing that this psycho bitch murderer threw me against a fucking wall!"

They are all insane Dustin thought as he walked to the infirmary, if Miki was able to kick Chou then she's able to walk he thought.

Chou's eyes were lit with fire. "I am not a murderer, I simply did what I must. If any one's the psycho, it would be you 'cause you wanted to mess with me." She twisted her head in Jean's direction. "Don't you tell me what to do. Ever. Do you have a clue what I go through every single day of my life? No? Well, maybe God will have mercy on your soul."

"Sorry about that, Miki apologized to Dustin. "I guess we spooked your horse." She sighed, and hung her head. "It's just that Chou drives me NUTS! Just because she murdered her parent's, she thinks she all that. Oh, look at me I'm Chou and I'm so cool and tough because I'm a psycho who murders people!" She imitated Chou in a stereotypical Asian accent. "Neehow, mou si chnu!" She said mockingly, knowing that she was being racist with her Chinese gibberish.
"Sorry, she apologized again. "That bitch just drives me up the wall."

Chou could no longer contain herself. "I MURDERED NO ONE YOU FUCKING LIAR BITCH!!!!!! THE CIRCUMSTANCES WERE SO OUTRAGEOUS YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND!!! I AM PYCHO, BUT GUESS WHAT BITCH, YOUR NOT THAT FAR OF EITHER!" Chou quickly calmed down. She ran over to her horse, and quickly hopped on with out the saddle. When she was angry, she was proficient at anything. She took off, galloping and riding in way she never thought possible. She rode into the bunk house, jumped off her horse, threw the reigns over the post, and ran inside.

"Whatever" Dustin muttered not in the mood to talk, he was never in the mood to talk. He walked into the infirmary with Miki.
