it was a gloomy morning, Vikki was watching the clouds nervously while Evelyn came by to wish her best friend good luck. Ev could see the stress on Vikki's face.
Hey viks, not too stressed are ya?"
A little, its such mushy weather and they predicted rain this afternoon. the arena is gonna be shit when i run the course"
vikki shuffled around looking at the starting list.
Im gonna end up so low in the ranking. Goddammit ya british weather.
It doesnt matter how high you place! this is all about you and Please. Now try and relax it'll be fine.
with those words Ev cuddled Vikki and left to be with her own team. Vikki walked Please who seemed uninpressed by the low rumble of thunder in the distance. the duo bumped into their teammates Tristan and Sophie. they all chatted about the weather and the impressive obstacles when it started raining slightly. they all rushed inside before it became too bad. it was about an hour after the first rider that the clouds gathered and it started raining quite profusely. Viks pre run jitters came up again ofcourse there had to be a terrible fall. Sophie was just about to warm up when she saw Vikki just pacing in front Pleases stall.
Hey Vikki why not use that energy for on the course instead of boiling it all up, here listen to this playlist and get pumped up! better that than be stressed out, especially on your mountain. who doesn't seem bothered at all
Sophie pointed to Please in his stall, on the brink of falling asleep.
he'll need a bit more than some music
Tristan laughed as he joined the conversation. he was already done with his run and came by to support his team.
Well Soph are you gonna warm up or not, you better get us some points!
Tristan said sly
FOR VICTORY, FOR THE TEAM, FOR THE KINGFISHER
yelled Sophie as she left the stables with her fist up high!
the other two kingfishers left in the stable yelled the same as they lifted their arms. Please looked at the humans but then just dropped his head back down. Tristan helped Vikki get ready and when they were ready Vikkis nerves had gone down and she was now filled with adrenaline.
i will lets hope his model comes with 4 wheel drive
Vikki said as she looked outside
she patted Pleases neck. he moved very unpleased and slow. why does he have to leave his stall?!
that attitude changed quickly when they walked over to the warm up arena. they were soaking by the time they arrived but Please was radiating. he had to have grown a couple of centimeters and he came to life. any mudpool Please HAD to go trough. he was so filthy by the time they go to run the course.
just before they were up Sophie yelled
hey dont slip! you're gonna have one wet saddle! gook luck!
she gave Vikki the thumbs up. the arena was a complete mudfield. but that didnt seem to bother the giant stallion thundering down the course.
c'mon man now the big one!
she yelled when they arrived at the big ben obstacle. they took off and time stood still for a second. Vikki felt weightless. she could feel the rain on her face, see the light emanating from big ben and then gravity kicked in, SPLASH it went, pleases hooves met with a muddy pool. and with that they got over the jump succesfully. Vikki got trown back to reality and looked to the next jump wich was the red bus, another feared obstacle. the little crowd that was still outside bracing the cold rain cheered. Vikki could hear Evelyn yell from the stands.
'kay big man, lets do that again
Please snorted excitedly.
