Alright, so first things first.
This wasn't meant to be drawn. Lots of shit went down before this entry and it left me disliking not only my team but the whole HCL, sorry for that...
Yet it turned out so much better than I could have ever imagined!
Also yes to all you people spotting wrong boots on Prom's front legs, maaaay I direct your attention to the story?

“What do you mean by you can’t find his boots?” Beth yelled into the phone that was pinched between her ear and the top of her shoulder while she tried to get her leather boots on with white breeches that were never tighter than today.
A stressed helpless answer followed and she groaned. “Then what options do we have? I don’t want his tendons damaged! It’s a CSI five stars. FIVE! That’s 1.60 meters!” Panic arose in Beth as she made her way to the bed where her Team Polo lay neatly folded, fresh out of the suitcase.
One time, one single time she hadn’t checked the box of Prom’s gear before he was taken to the airport. And this one mistake was out to get her now.
Another reply made her widen her eyes in disbelief.
“Bandages?! Are you serious? You packed bandages but not his boots?” Beth clicked the speaker function and threw the phone onto her bed.
- “I’m sure I packed both, the boots are missing though. What do we do now?” His spanish accent vanished in the hurried way he spoke, then followed a noise that sounded like an impatient stomp to the ground and a nervous snort.
Prom clearly didn’t have any of the agitated discussions; he was probably already tacked up except for his actual leg protection; anxiously waiting for the show to start. Usually, he’d be on the lunge already by now. Getting rid of spare unneeded energy before the actual warm-up.
Buttoning up the shirt, Beth responded with: “I don’t know! We need those boots! I swear to- If he gets injured, Mom’s gonna have your head!” Beth heard Cayette sigh.
- “Yes, I know. It’s only to stabilize his legs and not rob him of the familiar feeling. Prom might act up with the new freedom in his legs if we skip the protection, we don’t want that now, do we?”
Cayette tried to remain calm and went through the packing and unpacking process again and again.
“No, of course we don’t. Let me think”
As ordered Cayette didn’t say anything in return and didn’t even look up when someone approached him from down the stable lane.

“Hey, need a hand?” Sophie leaned against the stall door and offered a smile, which made Cayette straighten up again.
“Is that Sophie? Give her the phone! I have an idea!” Beth’s mood lightened up as she spotted the familiar voice in the background. The obedient groom he was, Cayette handed the lady his phone.
“Hey, Sophie, we need Calla’s boots. Prom’s disappeared somehow, can I borrow yours please?” Rushed but sweet as honey Beth begged for Sophie’s help knowing well that as a comrade, Sophie would be up to supporting her.
- “What? Boots don’t go missing. I didn’t take them this time!”
“I don’t care about the missing boots, I need a replacement now. Do you help me or not?”
- “Yes, of course. I’ll make Lana and the boys search for your boots. Maybe we get them in time for your turn.”
“Thanks. See you at the track then.”
Beth already had a strange feeling in her guts telling her something was off about this leg when they landed in Israel and suddenly missing boots did add to that latent fear.
In any other case improvising wouldn’t be a problem to her at all. She liked the rush of having to think of something immediately, but not when so much as her team score was at stake.
Sure, she could have asked her team for help, but they were scattered around the place already, she didn’t have the time to as she herself was running late.

What happened to the boots? Well, find out in Soph's gallery. Security is on it!

Commentary note
Prom presents his liveliness as usual, a strong but flat stride, shining muscles in the heat that is Caesarea sun. The new boots, even though heavier with the extra-wool added, don't seem to bother him and Beth leads him through the course with a focus on a clear round rather than reckless speed as the faults in Buyeo kept her from a higher placing.

Biggest shoutout goes to:
- SophieMacaulay for pushing me through this, always listening to my endless ranting and providing a second look as well as a reference for the rider
- Tamashi-Sama who was my reason to do this and who had to put up with several mental breakdowns during this
- Aliyska for the color tips
- the Fairy Tail OST, Voltron AMVs and other Anime soundtracks from the random Youtube Algorhythm as well as Spotify for creating an Instrumental/Soundtrack-Playlist especially for me, that I could shuffle through to keep me focused and motivated
