"You have got to be kidding me." Becca looked across the stable at the stalls and then plugged her nose. "This is your surprise? Paul, I am not impressed!"

Carly smiled and clapped her hand on Becca's shoulder. "They're kinda cute if you ignore the smell. Maybe you'll get used to it."

The horse nearest to Becca let out a neigh and Becca jumped so high she collided back into Paul.

"Don't be all jumpy," he said. "You're going to scare the animals!"

Becca's eyes widened and she rounded back on Paul. "Scare them? They're the ones scaring me first!"

"Aw, come now." Arthur took a step between them. "They're just horses doing horse things. They don't mean to scare you."

Becca's glare focused on Arthur for a moment. "You two don't expect us to actually ride those things, do you?'

Paul grinned and Arthur took a step back, most likely to get out of the line of fire.

"It won't be so bad." Carly moved over to look at the saddles hanging up along side the wall near the tackle room. "I've been on a horse once during a music video shoot and it was actually kind of fun. I'm sure this will be fun too."

Becca folded her arms over her chest. "I am not getting on a horse!"

"You spoiled sport!" Paul said. "Fine, if you want to sit back here in this smelly stable and wait for us, be my guest!"

"It's your own fault, Paul!" Becca took a step towards him. "If you would tell us where we're going before you take us there, maybe I would have the opportunity to opt out!"

Paul rolled his eyes and gave a heavy sigh. "What fun would that be?"

"Ugh!" Becca threw her hands down, turned around and stormed out of the stable.

Paul, Carly, and Arthur watched her until she was out of sight, and then Arthur turned to look at Paul. "Nice going. What are you going to do now?"

Paul looked at him as though it were obvious. "You heard me. We're going horseback riding!"
