Danielle entered the shop, the jangle of the bell above the door startling her from a daydream in which she had just gone clear in jumping at the Grand Prix and was stepping up to the podium to collect her prize..."Can I help you?" a voice politely enquired, and Danielle turned towards the speaker, a thickset woman who stood behind the counter a a welcoming smile lighting up her rather plain face. "Umm...can I have a few seconds to decide?" Danielle asked with a laugh, digging into her pocket to retrieve a rather crumpled $20.00 note, which she had managed to smuggle past Natalie and Samantha. "Sure," the woman replied cheerfully, leaving Danielle for a minute to go and serve another customer. Hmm...decisons, decisions, she thought, pondering the vast array of flavours. "Decided yet?" the woman asked and Danielle nodded, "Can I please have a double cone with Vanilla and English Toffee?"
"Of course. Waffle or plain?"
"Plain," Danielle replied, then after a moment's pause added, "Actually make it a waffle cone." Smiling the woman slid back the freezer door and expertly scooped the ice-cream into the waffle cone and handed it to Danielle. "Anything else?" the woman asked and she shook her head. "That will be $4.50 then, love." Danielle handed over the note, collecting the change and heading for one of the cafe style metal tables. Licking the ice-cream, Danielle wondered whether she would meet anyone here.

Steph mad her way through the car park and into the ice cream shop. There was a jingle above the door which made steph jump forward. 'Are you ok, love?', a women with a huge smile on her face asked.
'Yer, we just don't have bell above thedoors in ice cream shops in the UK',
steph laughed as the women spoke again.
'ok,', the women laughed a little, 'so what can i et for you?', she asked.
Steph scanned the board filled with ice creams.
'Can i have a mint choc chip in a chocolate dipped cone please?', steph ordered. The women scopped the ice cream into the cone and handed it to steph.'That will be $5.50 please',
steph handed over the money and turned to find a place to sit. She saw that most places were full. with at least 2 people. There was one girl though that sat by herself. Steph made her way over to say hi, hoping to make a friend.
'Hello!, i'm steph. I wondere dif i could sit with you. Theres no where else to sit.',
Steph laughed it sounded so stupid asking to sit with omeone she didn't know. [/center] (eek!! crappy, sorry i nicked a fewideas liek the bell from your thread) |

Danielle grinned at the girl, liking her honesty and friendliness. She moved her chair along and nodded, "Sure thing. It'll be good to have someone to talk to other than myself." Danielle hurriedly licked the cone as the ice cream ran in rivulets down her hand, melting in the heat of the day. "I'm Danielle....I board at Hidden Valley," she explained between licks of ice cream.

Sara walked through the plaza lazily. She'd finished riding for the day and had come hoping to shop, but found she didn't quite have the funds to back that up. Smiling, she sighed. Guess I'll just go home... she thought. Walking towards her car, she stopped as she heard a bell ringing. What in the world? she said aloud. Looking up, she laughed as she saw the bell for the ice cream shop ringing. Making up her mind, she walked in. Ordering coffee ice cream in a waffle cone, she looked around for somewhere to sit. Not seeing anywhere, she turned to go, disapointed. As she was walking out, she spotted someone that looked familiar in a corner. Walking over, she grinned. Hey. Do one of you board at Hidden Valley? I'm Sara. My aunt owns the place. Do you mind if I join you? |

I don't board at hidden valley but i think Danielle does', steph sed still smiling at the new girl. she felt a bit left out because these girls both boarded at hidden valley but then it struck her. Mayeb she could bring her eventer down and keep him at hidden valley. She kept her thoughts to herslef ad she licked her ice cream. [/center] |

Danielle smiled at Sarah. "My sister is the stable manager at Hidden Valley. You have probably seen me around," she said when a flicker of recognition crossed the other girl's face. Motioning for Sarah to sit down, Danielle turned back to Steph who had a rather thoughtful expression on her face, and she could see that Steph was formulating a plan of some sorts. "Anything I should know?" she asked and then groaned when a large rivulet of ice cream ran down from the cone and splashed onto her bare legs. "Ugh, I forever spilling something on me," Danielle complained and she grabbed a napkin from the table, the thin material doing little to soak up the sticky mess. Danielle threw up her ams in mock frustration and there was a touch of mischief in her hazel eye

Steph took a bit of her cone and laughed as danielle attempted to mop up the mess. [/center] (grrrr. . . losing muse) |

"That would be great," Danielle enthused, scowling when Steph broke into laughter at the sight of her mopping the mess from her leg. Sighing she turned back to the table, "So what's your favourite discipline in eventing? I love Show jumping-besides Cross country of course." Danielle grinned and took another bite of ice cream, slowly working her way down the cone, although by now her ice cream resembled a mixture of brown and white mush. "Twister is such a tough competitor," she remarked a triumphant smile crossing her face when she finished the last of the cone. "He is so calm and collected that sometimes he even freaks me out," Danielle explained as she grabbed her bag and fumbled through it, pulling out a wallet, keys, mobile until she came across the small piece of paper. "Here, it's a photo of Twister," Danielle said as she handed the photo across to Steph, a chestnut stallion grazing out in the paddock at dusk. "He's a Stock Horse. All of our horses come from the same stud, except for my sister's new gelding, Sunny. He is from Berrima Warmblood Stud about a three hour drive from here."

Steph smield and looked at the picceh. 'o wow', she sed as danielle told her about her horses. 'I love the showjumpign to, but i also like the dressage. The cross country can sometimes scare me.', she laughed. 'Thats one of the reasons i moved up here. So i coudl start equitation and a new life',
She sighed as she thought about the UK were she was well known.[/size |
