“You even said that you’d figured out who the REAL heroes were, remember that? Well, you were right, Buck - you ARE a hero! And twice as tough as Rico ever was, that’s for sure.”
Buck found himself perking up a bit, a smile twitching at his lips. “I really was something, wasn’t I…?”
He jumped up suddenly, a new fire in his eyes as he struck some of his usual fighting poses.
“ Heck, I don’t know if you gals could see from that train car, but I was all HEE-YAH! And WHOOP-AH! And WHAM! Those guys went down quicker than daisies in a flash flood! Haha!” He let out a gleeful whinny as the moment of victory rushed back to him.
“Yeah, and the way they were shaking when we tied them up? I think Rico wet his pants!” Grace let out a giggly moo, her pink snout wrinkling with joy, and Buck joined in with his own neighing laughter.
“Aw man, what an *adventure* we had, huh?? You were pretty great, too , high-jacking that train and all! Sure, we beat up the bad guys, but we NEVER woulda made it back into town on time if it weren’t for you girls.” “Well, that’s true, I guess…”
And then, when you FLEW into the air and WHAM kicked that bell into Slim’s pie hole when he tried yodeling again - that was AMAZING! I underestimated you, geez!”
“Oh, stop~” Grace chided, but she seemed to glow at the compliment nonetheless.
“We make a great team!” Buck neighed, giving Grace a little punch on the shoulder.
“Yeah,” She grinned through a cringe, rubbing her shoulder.
"You know… you were really brave back there, Buck."
“Nahh, I was just - just -“
She's looked eyes with him again, a demure smile tugging at her lips, and suddenly, it hits the steed just how close they are, her soft flank pressed to his.
Buck gulped and opened his mouth to complete his thought when- "Tag, you're it!" She jabbed him on the shoulder and bolted, her lilting voice turning to a frivolous giggle.
“H-huh-? ” He gaped at her. She was prance circles around him.
"Na na na na~" She sang, in that cutely-unaware off key way of hers, "Betcha can't catch me!"
Buck couldn’t believe how much the tone of the evening had changed - from brooding to playing, but, surprisingly, he found himself game! He knew a challenge when he saw one. Breaking out of his shock, he launched himself forward to chase her, but something tugged at his reins and he ended up tumbling comically to the ground instead.
“C’mon, I thought you were quick on your feet!” Grace called, teasingly.
Somehow, without him realizing, she’d weaved his reins around the fencepost; sneaky. He assumed struggling to free his reins from the post.
“Uh-huh, you heard RIGHT! So, get ready to experience Buck, the WORLD’S GREATEST SPEED DEMON as you’ve never seen ‘im before!” He neighed back, digging his hooves into the dirt.
“C’mon - less talking, more chasing! You’re still IT, you know!”
She made a pass by him again and stuck out her tongue. Buck felt familiar frustration building up inside of him, along with a new feeling - an odd… amusement.
Had she always been this exciting?
“Finally!” Buck proclaimed as he pulled free at last. Wasting not a moment, he raced after her.
She’d gotten a good headstart in the shadowy grasses, but that wouldn’t last long! Buck was in his element now, he was built for speed, endurance, he was about four seconds from catching up with her.
They were a good distance from the barn and the fence now and Grace seemed still unaware of his closing proximity, because she was still laughing breathlessly. Almost without a noise, he galloped up so he was beside her left flank and-
“BOO!”
A cute moo of surprise escaped Grace and she broke fiercely, spinning around in the dust to scrabble away again, change direction, but-
“Nu-uh! It’s too late to change course now, sister!”
And with that, he leaped forward, pinning her body to the ground with his, effectively ending the chase.
“Hah! TAG! I win!” Buck crowed, happily.
“T-that doesn’t mean you, you win, silly!” She laughed, panting. “Besides, you’re not following the rules- you’re supposed to keep running, not trap the other player!”

“Heyy, I’M not the one who stole a headstart by tying ME to a fencepost!” He countered, but she could see he was still in good humor when they locked gazes.
A few moments of companionable silence passed as they caught their breath. Then-
“Uh… Buck?”
“Yep?”
“You can get off of me now. Heh.” She was staring him, twitching her ears inquisitively.
He paused.
“I dunno… you STILL haven’t hailed me as the World’s Greatest Speed Demon!”
“You didn’t mention that before - and why should I?” Grace retorted, teasingly.
“C’mon! Just say it! You know you want to~” Buck coaxed.
Grace seemed to consider something for a moment, looking away, and then something seemed to change as she glance back at him, her eyes half lidded.
“If I didn’t know better, I’d think you were using this name thing as an *excuse* to be this close to me.” Grace said in a tone much lower than her regular. Buck froze, victorious smirk fading.
“Say whuh-?!” He choked.
“You heard me,” Grace smirked, and then she pushed her smaller nose to his in an affectionate nuzzle.
Odd chills seized Buck and he acted on his first impulse - to recoil, large hooves kicking up dust.
Wow. What... had just happened?
Grace instantly popped up and spun around to face him.
“Hah! I was just kidding around, silly,” Her regular sugary voice had come back and it was punctured by chuckling amusement. “After tying you to that fence post, I’d think you be more on your guard around me~”
Buck was still struggling to find words. His snout was burning.
“What was - I - you-?”
“Tell you what - to make it up to you, I’ll race you back! How does that sound?” Grace piped up, unexpectedly. Taking his mute nod as an answer, the cow flicked her tail at him in a playful beckon, and shot out towards the lighted windows of the barn house.
Buck shook his mane and, not even trying to hide his smile this time, ran after her.
Maybe, Buck hadn’t lost his own patch of heaven after all.

If you'd still like to return fill for me, how do you feel about Pinocchio? 'Cause there's a prompt a few posts up that I'd love to see a fill for~

LiveJournal, please work for me!
Oh my goodness. OH. MY. GOODNESS.
Seeing this fill in my inbox made me so unbelievably happy! First, I was not expecting anyone to fill this so fast. Second, best present EVER just to know that I got someone to watch Home on the Range and they enjoyed it. ♥ So, thank you so, so much for that!
And third, THIS FIC. SO CUTE. Grace's calmness and her playfulness and her voice are just so perfect. Totally hearing everything she says in Jennifer Tilly's voice and it fits so perfectly!
Buck was so adorable and I love all his angry outbursts. Also this:
He wasn’t in the mood for her bubbly gabble; couldn’t she see that he was brooding?
... made me laugh out loud. It's so perfectly Buck, I love it. I really loved how you explored their relationship -- it feels very perfect for how the two interact in the film. Like you said, the whole dynamic of Grace's patience and Buck's spazziness is just adorable! The ending is so sweet, the nuzzle/kiss and Buck being all caught off-guard and the patch of heaven bit. Awwww this is wonderful. *happycry*

eee HURRAH~! *dances* Anon is SO super relieved that you liked the fill and it even made you laugh, because I was a bit worried about them being OOC - phew! Also I'm utterly pleased that you read this in their 'voices', that is *such* a compliment, thank you! ;; (And I love Jennifer Tilly's voice in general - she made Grace's character extra sweet and likeable imo!)
Yeah, I was actually surprised at how enjoyable I found the movie, because I'd heard it hadn't done so well with critics and I almost *never* see fanart for it, so... well, shouldn't judge movie by its fandom, huh? Thanks again for the prompt, though; I never forsaw myself writing fic for this movie and I'm happy to finally be able to add it to the list of Disney flicks I saw/liked~ (:
And now, I want more Buck/Grace. Darnit! *shakesfist* Just what I needed, another rare pair for me to fawn over! XD
Also~ yep! The timeskip prompt, that's the one! :D

Aaahhhh I am still squeeing over this fic. Seriously, thank you so much! X3 I love Jennifer Tilly's voice too -- I think she's one of the main reasons why I love Celia from Monsters, Inc. so much! She just has this really sweet and friendly voice.
Yeah I'm still bitter at the critical reception Home on the Range got! TT___TT Ah well, most reviewers said you have to be a kid to find it entertaining and I suppose I really just am a kid on the inside.
Hee, rare pairs are the best! ♥
So, regarding that timeskip prompt... BIZARRE coincidence, but there's a reply to that prompt, right?
THAT WAS ME.
(At least I think it was... sometimes I get confused because all my comments are anonymous.)
You have good taste, anon. :) I guess this is just a sign that I should fill it, without worrying if it'll be good enough! XD I absolutely love that prompt, so I'll do my best!

Totally welcome! Gah, and I'm still so pleased you like it~! x} Also, I somehow hadn't realized she was Celia until I looked her up as I was writing your fic, but it all made sense once I did. I was first introduced to her voice as Piloff, in Bartok the Magnificent (which was another fun movie, features the bat from Anastasia in case you've never seen it).
Aw, if that's the case, we need more critics who're kids at heart to be reviewin' these kind of movies! xP Nothin wrong with being a kid~ <3
Heck yeah! *highfive* :D
WHOA, *was* it? XD omg! haha that IS bizarre! (lol me too - it's funny how I'll read an old prompt and be like 'this totally sounds like something I'D want, and then I have a half-flashback and a 'wait, that was me..?' moment. it's fun xD)
but yeah, wow, it must be destiny speakin' to ya! Don't worry too much about it; seriously, *anything* you write, I will most definitely *love*~ also, thank you, and you have good taste, too! (I pretty much like all the pairs you listed in your original HOTR prompt lol) I'm super stoked that you love the prompt )yay!) and I hope you have fun with it! Can't wait to see what comes of this~ 8DD
(also, I know I've talked too much already ahah, but I have one more question - did you happen to comment on the last Pinocchio fill on this meme? just wondering, you don't hafta say heh)

Hm... I've not seen Bartok the Magnificent. I've heard of it but I never even realized it was related to Anastasia! I might check it out since I watched Anastasia recently.
All right, I am working on it! Slowly, but it's going to get done, I promise. :D

Wooo! *happily anticipates* 8DD
Wow, um, YEAH, that actually -was- my fill! Oh man, haha! I am *too* amused by this. I *thought* something about you seemed familiar... can't believe I was right, though! XD
While I'm at it here, lemme give ya a belated thanks for your really kind and detailed feedback on the Pinocchio fill. It made me SO happy when I read it, because you commented on things I was thinking about as I wrote (like ICness and if Lampwick's bg worked and such) and I appreciated that.
