The workers couldn't find San Damingo, so Ryder decided to take a walk to relax her. She walked out to the woods and sat on a climbing tree's low branches. SHe rested her head against the trunk and thought to herself quietly.

IC: (Lucas) "Using your what? Water power? Or just peer awesomeness?" he says while grinning like a mad man.

Suprised, Ryder looked up. She looked in San Damingo's eyes, "Hello there, San Damingo." She slowly brought her hand to San Damingo's nose and let her smell her.

IC: (Lucas) Well, if we want to head before it gets dark out, we better go now." Lucas says, waving Taliana over and telling her what we're doing. We head to the caneoing and Taliana brings out her "latest design, destined to beat us all." I just have a regular canoe. I'm convinced I'm going to lose.

Ryder laughed, and handed San Damingo a apple. She shakily brought her hand up to San Damingo's face. SHe ever so slowly brought her hand down and slid her hand down from her forelock to her nose. Ryder slowly breathed in and out.

IC: (Taliana) "Prepare for my ego to go to a WHOLE new level!" she shouted while they all set up the caneos. Zelenia and Lucas had to share a canoe because neither of them where doing anything special. I swore I saw a vein pop in Angelica's neck as she saw Lucas help Zelenia in the caneo. Let's just hope this race gets through fast. We have a tree nymph start the race.

"On your mark! Get set! GO!" she screamed excited as soon as the paddles hit the water.

"Ryder, your father re---" the workers started saying hurridly.
"Leave. Now. Tell him he can wait. I want to be alone." the workers hurridly off, and Ryder rested her head back. A lone tear slid down her face, and the most Ryder wanted to do was disappear into the tree.

IC: (Taliana) "SUCKERS!" Taliana screamed as she pressed a button that made her flyer of the water, in the water, out, in, and out again. I'm a dolphin![i]she thought to herself. She was defiantly going to win this one.

IC: (Lucas) We started paddling as fast as we could when the water nymph yelled go. [i]Faster, he thought, Just go faster, Lucas.

Ryer walks into the stable the next morning, with purple bags under her eyes. She had gotten absolutely no sleep last night, for she was thinking about San Damingo. She was carrying a bucket of grain when she saw San Damingo. She gasped and dropped the bucket.

IC: (Lucas) Crap. We tipped. Well, Angelica tipped us, but still. Coughing up the water, I sit ontop of the canoe and watch Angelica win. I can't help but swim at the thought of her. She is a great person. Smart, likable, easy-going... What's not to like. Watching her make her victory lap is hilarious. She caneos by Zelenia, myself, and Taliana millions of times, saying she's the best and all. I just keep watching, smiling like a mad man.

Ryder quickly dropped to the ground, scooping the grain back into the bucket. Ryder stands back up, ignoring San Damingo, and starts filling the stables horses buckets with grain.

IC: (Taliana) Mad wasn't even going to describe what I was feeling. I dived into the water and swam all the way to the shore, stalked to the cabin, grabbing my shower stuff, and locking myself in a shower stall, standing in the burning hot water.

IC: (Lucas) We all headed back to the shore and laid out in the sand.

"Where's Taliana?" I asked suddenly, not noticing her missing before.

"I'm Anthem, you?" she says softly, still grazing. The flies where so bad she had to keep swishing her tail back and forth.

Still mad about San Damingo leaving, Ryder slams the buckets around, not caring. She fills water buckets and grain buckets. Grabbing a bridle, saddle pad, and saddle, Ryder tacks up her 25 year old horse, Sparkey, and rides her for a good two hours, pushing her hard.

IC: (Lucas) "Hmm. She's probably steaming right now. Her ego IS too high." Lucas says with a shrug. Looking off at the water the sun's going down.

"I should probably go. See you guys later." he leaves with a smile, and when he gets back to the cabin, he falls asleep with a smile.

Ryder is so mad right now. WHY NOT JUST LEAVE SAN DAMINGO ALONE? She got off her horse, leaving her in the corral and starts yelling at the men. And her yell isn't one you simply shrug off, her yell in a one that wants to make you hide in a hole. They promise not to bother San Damingo again, and Ryder takes off trail riding into the woods.

IC: (Lucas) The next morning, when he woke up--- Well... He didn't really wake up. He was pushed out of bed by a fellow Aphrodite girl that we was good friends with until her ego got to the worst of her. She dragged Lucas outside and wouldn't answer him questions until he saw for himself. It was Angelica. And he's Lucas, looking like... Well, a regular teenager. Just in sweatpants and no shirt, and with the hair all messed up.

"Always a pleasure to see you, Angelica." he says slowly, not sure what's happening...

Suddenly Ryder hears whinning and jumps offher house, tieing her up, and sprints to the noise. SHe finds San Damingo lying down, with bear traps on her legs. Ryder slowy walks up, speaking calming words to San Damingo, and gets the bear traps off of her. She starts walking away, knowing that San Damingo will run away anyway.

Ryder turns around and pats San Damingo gently on the nose and hands her an apple.

IC (Taliana) When I got back to the cabin, Lucas was sleep talking. I decided to record him, so that I could have revenge. Poor Lucas, not having a clue that running his own mouth is a dangerous piece of ice.
