"Skylar!" Tracker laughed as his sister picked out three random letters from the scrabble bag. It'd been a week since her and Zuma's fight and her heated moment with Chase. The siblings were back to normal and she had shared many exchanges of affection with Chase, yet the two weren't officially an item.

"What?" The blonde said innocently. "You said we were playing dirty scrabble." She noticed that Rocky had turned red, Rubble was shaking with laughter and Zuma couldn't breathe.

"I tell you what Skye, you will do anything to win won't you?" Rubble shook his head, wiping the tears from his eyes.

"Yeah, now come on, add on the points."

"Can't believe that's a fucking triple word." Tracker shook his head and smiled, noting his sister's score. Zuma looked up after steadying his breathing.

"I'm sorry I missed that entirely." He sighed.

Skye shrugged and pointed to the board. "Rimjob. Triple word, rack 'em up." She teased.

"Uh hi guys." They heard a familiar southern voice behind them. The four turned and looked up from where they were sat in the floor to see Chase, a red tint on his cheeks and a hand on his neck.

"Hi," Skye squeaked while her brother's burst out laughing. She slapped Rubble and Zuma's hands and kicked Trackers ankle, sending the game board flying, pieces scattering everywhere. The blonde turned her focus back to her secret love interest.
"Is it hack time already?" She asked.

"Yeah, Marshall and Everest are joining us as well." Chase said, relaxed but keeping his hand on his neck.

"Okay, let's go. Bye you guys." Skye walked away and out of the house with Chase. As soon as the front door closed, Chase moved his hand, revealing two bruises. Skye laughed.

"Good job hiding." She looked at the two marks. "But I don't remember giving you two last night."

"You didn't, I spooked Caspin a little." The brunette chuckled "how'd you hide yours?" He asked, leaning closer with his hands on Skye's waist.

"The wonder that is foundation." She replied.

Chase laughed and placed a delicate kiss on her nose and took her hand, leading her away so they could get the horses ready.

"Chase," Marshall laughed from Mackley's back. "that girl of yours is crazy." The boys watched both of the girls canter around on their horses, laughing and splashing in the creek. Both humans and horses were enjoying themselves.

Skye looked over her shoulder and smiled at Chase who smiled back.

"She sure is." The brunette replied.

"Wait so you're officially dating then?" Marshall's eyes widened.

"Well, no. But I will ask her." Chase nodded. Marshall laughed and shook his head.

"I doubt she'll say no if those hickeys are anything to go by."

"They're bruises." Chase hissed, a smirk threatening to show.

"Bruises don't have teeth marks Chase." He rested a hand on Chase's shoulder, holding his reigns with the other. The two heard a shriek from Everest and turned to see her on the floor and Evander galloping away from them.

"I got him!" Skye called before the boys could react and sped after the grey gelding. Chase, instinctively followed her while Marshall checked his girlfriend.

The two caught up with the getaway, one on either side. Skye pushed Swift on and ahead of her friend's horse and asked him to rear up before landing firmly on the ground, making the grey stop calmly. Chase watched open mouthed.

"How'd you do that?" He asked.

"I'm a dressage rider, I can ask him to do anything." She laughed. The boy watched as Skye gently leaned forward and took ahold of Evander's reigns, keeping him next to her and Swift as they made their way back to Everest and Marshall who were stood together, Mackley nudging his owner's pocket, causing both teens to laugh.

"Hey Chase?" Skye Said, her gaze never leaving their destination.

"Yeah." The brunette snapped out of his trance.

"Wanna help me practice my dressage test later? My brothers are useless and we could maybe spend some more time together... just us two?"

Chase smiled as he saw the blush on the girl's cheeks and small smile tugging at her lips.

"Sure,' he smiled, deciding that they could talk about 'them' later on while Skye was practicing.

'Zuma's gonna kill me.'
