That feeling when you are so nervous you get super sick and start fainting .. Sounds familiar ? :'D sure happened to me a couple of times >> So, this is what I meant with Kai's life lesson kicking herself in the butt. Girl took on a big risk, she realizes her mistakes. She put way too much pressure on herself at this point.

_________________________________________________________________________________________

..Hoofbeats, they sounded so vague to her at this point. Her hearing was disturbed by a certain high pitched beep in her ears. She swallowed, why was she feeling so sick ?

" Hurry up Lee, we're late ! "

She heard Annette call from the tent opening that lead to the outside..outside where the other riders were. Outside where the crowd is. The flashes, camera's, judges. Something she enjoyed and loved most of the time. But this time, she felt she was bound for failure. Why did she make this bet ? It was not ever going to work, Ghost and her were gonna look like fools weren't they ? They would laugh at her..Laugh at him.

The thought made her stomach turn, a certain feeling of compassion towards her dear horse. That would be too painful to bear.

" I'm coming.. "

She tried to shout back, though her voice was nowhere to be found. Only Ghost probably heard that, who calmly watched her put on her gloves and tophat. His head shook up and down subtly with a soft nicker. He was trying to tell her he was ready, though she could not even see it through her fading vision. Step by step she tried to reach the end of the guest stables, her legs getting weaker, her senses fading away until..

How long had it been until she opened her eyes again ? A few seconds ? A minute ? More ? She just felt some nudges from a soft nose when she slowly woke up and sat herself up on the ground. Did she just faint ? What else could it be..Kaira..She thought to herself and let out a big sigh, the sickness had faded a little..but the dizziness was still present.

Kaira was spurred back onto her feet by the sound of approaching hoofbeats however, thank god no one saw it. Let's keep it that way.. She used Ghost as a support to get back up, acting as if she was now fixing one of his braids.

The rider dropped of his horse and walked right into the guest stables with a certain spring in his step, one she knew all too well.

" Hello there sugartits ! We just..abosolutely killed it. "

Kvark spoke in his usual cocky, joyful and confident way. Clearly being proud, as he should be..She was sure.

" I..don't doubt it. "

She replied, her smile being a lot weaker than it usually is. She tried not to look at him directly though, since he would be onto that like a hawk. He was sensative like that .. The littlest changes he noticed. And this was no exception, before she even knew it she was locked up by his hands. A stare coming right her way, which she answered with an awkward smile.

" What's wrong ? "

He asked with a certain urge behind it, his eye flashing down to her tailcoat for a mere second before his hand whiped some of the dust and hay off. Must have stuck on there while she flopped down..

" I'm..Nervous..I guess ? This is by far the worst idea I've had in a while. We are going to ruin it out there.. My carreer will be over, I lose the bet I made with Sjoerd. Ghost doesn't get the love he deserves.. Annette will be pissed. "

She replied, her voice become more shaky the more she talked. This truly seemed like one huge hopeless pile to her at the moment..

"mhm, that sounds awfully uninspiring. What about the part where you ride in there and kick ass? Because.. yeah, you sure as hell wont make it with that gloomy attitude. But you sure as hell could if you got rid of all those negative energies."

Oh Kvark, she loved his honesty. Even in situations like this. Her head shook slightly, a smile slowly returning.

"You really think we could ?'"

Kaira asked cautiously.

"Hon, I don't think. I know ............I mean. Not to say I don't think as in ever..."

That last bit even managed to get a chuckle out of her, she really didn't deserve him..there was no one able to lift her head up and make her feel a little more pride than him.

" Thank you..dear. We will try then. "

She gave him one last kiss on the cheek before finally heading outside for real, her legs still shaky. Well, she didn't leave without some...inspiring cheers from behind however:

"YOU'RE A LION. GO TEAR THEM UP, PUSSYCAT. NO, DON'T SLOUCH, LIONS DON'T SLOUCH.."

She simply waved him off at that with some laughter. Think about those words Kaira..She tried to focus on that alone. Kvark was a liar and anything but trustful to others, but to her.. No. He didn't lie, if he thought she could do this there might be a small chance after all. One she had to take.

" Finally. "

Annette grumped at the entrance of the warm-up. But Kaira just walked past her completely without even looking. Her gaze was focused in front of her. She was with her horse, one that meant so ..so much to her. One..Who was actually not wanting to walk and prancing around.. He felt it too didn't he ?

" We can do this.. "

She spoke to him, not much time left now before they had to perform. And the whole world just disappeared to them. A dance of a lifetime. That's what they could expect. If anyone dared to laugh they would hear them roar.
