Maya pulled into the barn's driveway. Her gaze lifted to her mirror so she could see Hollywood. She wondered if he would be frightened to the trailer moving, or would just think of it as nothing. She picked out an empty pasture for Hollywood to relax in. She put the trailer in reverse and backed into the open gate. She stopped and sighed, taking out her keys and opening the door. She stepped out and stretched, yawning somewhat. Slowly, she approached the trailer's own gate and looked at Hollywood. "Welcome home, Hollywood." She smiled, looking towards the lush greenery and the sun shimmering on the stalks of green.

At first Hollywood had no problems at all with the trailer but after a while, when it was put into reverse he grew scared and began to kick at the sides of it, when the door open he could not see the fences around it so thought of it as Maya transporting him to a new herd, quickly he rushed out from the trailer at a quick gallop, but when he saw the white fences he reared at them and bucked at them. He paced the fence, looking out to the woods where the trails were, where he knew that through one of those trails was his herd, grazing peacfully, and maybe even with a new lead stallion to lead them.

Maya closed both of the gates and watched Hollywood for a moment. She watched him get all worked up over being confined, but soon he'd get used to it. She leaned against the fencing, watching her stallion gallop about with hatred and fury. She was now having second thoughts of breaking him in the next day, or at least try to. She knew that his burning candle was his wild and untamed soul, and it could not easily be snuffed out. She looked to dangling red halter and lead rope and went to grab them. She placed them on the fencing as she once more observed her stallion, learning from his antics.

Soon Hollywood began to sniff the green grass, the saying was true, any wild horse knew this, that the grass is greener on the other side, but most wild souls did not care for how green their grass was, or how it tasted, as long as it was something to eat why would they care?
He lifted his head and looked to Maya who was leaning against the fence, he snorted than grunted and shook his mane. He trot toward her and stopped a few inches away and looked around boredly. He than sniffed the grass again and his long tail flicked his mud dried side, his eyes watching Maya carefully. He lifted his head and noticed the halter again and walked toward it, he lipped it for a bit than pulled it off the post and tossed it on the other side of the fence with a loud grunt.

Maya watched as Hollywood approached. She laughed as he tossed the halter on the other side of the fence. She nodded, "Alright.. Alright.. I won't put it on you, but you've got to follow me, okay?" She didn't care if any fellow western riders came out of the barn to see her talking to a horse, she did this often with her other horse, Wanted. Smiling, she reached into her pocket and took out another carrot. She held it out to him, hoping he wouldn't shy away.

he craned his neck and stared at Maya as if she were crazy, he snorted and tossed his head back and soon began to follow her, not for the carrot, just for something to do but soon got bored and trot to the other side of the pasture where he reared at the fence and whinnied loudly at it than pawed at the white wooden post.
His white face made him look feirce and even more wild. Jogging out from the barn Danielle saw Maya in the pasture with Hollywood and grew interested and looked to Hollywood and shook her head"What are you doing with that horse? I thought he went to auction" She said watching the wild mustang take his anger out on the fence.

Maya listened to Hollywood as he whinnied. Suddenly she turned to face Danielle. She sighed, thinking Crap.. I got caught.. "It's a very long story, but I couldn't bear to see what they were doin' to him. You should've seen it; one minute he lashes out at the fencing and the next thing I know the auctioneers come stampedin' over like he's some crazed freak, whippin' him and tying him up. I gave them auctioneers a piece of my mind. Besides, I think Hollywood does trust me.. Sorta.." She dropped another carrot on the ground, making a game for Hollywood. He'd have to find it to enjoy it. She watched him silently before turning back over to Danielle. "Besides, that big brute tugged at my heart strings when he came rampaging into the arena.. I'd blame everything on him.."

Danielle shook her head"Well now this wild mustang is your responsibility, at least those auctioneers could get him in control. implus, i don't think you or any other person could ever brake him in, his soul is to wild, you could have just let him go as a bucking bronc, they are not always abused, infact some are very trusting and cuddly horses, they only back because they are not broken and the strap that pinches them" She said and looked to Hollywood again and sighed "If that horse gets in with any of our mares he might ruin their lines too" She added still watching Hollywood who ran like an insane bronc around the pasture"Personally i think he is just another horse to waste food, and pretty much any wood probably agree, i only captured him so we could make money, oh and speaking of money" She said reaching into her pocket, she pulled out $500"Here, we got $1000 for him, so i halfed it" She handed the $500 to Maya and watched Hollywood.

Maya's eyes was now ablaze as she spoke of broncos. "Hollywood isn't meant for being a bronco, also I got him in control he was following me around when we left the auction house. You'll see, Hollywood will be the best yet." She looked to Hollywood, smiling fondly as she watched him gallop about with speed and agility. "What if he became well known for Endurance Racing, would you let him breed?" This was only a question, testing her even. She intently watched Hollywood, knowing well that deep down inside there was that horse she had fallen in love with, the one that had followed her willingly and entered the trailer without care. She didn't peel her gaze from off of him, mentally smiling as she listened to his pounding hoof beats. Maya could easily sleep listening to hoofbeats. "Well this conversation honestly doesn't involve anyone else.." By now, Maya was well trying to keep her anger under control, for that was the reason why she didn't spit out swears after every word. As Danielle offered her the money, Maya lifted her arm from her side and took it, stuffing it back in her pockets. She didn't look towards Danielle, but was locked onto Hollywood's form.

"That horse was not meant to be here either, he was just a wild horse that i caught for the money, i would like to see you even try to get on him, i am sure he only followed to get away from there" She said and nearly laughed"He does not seem to interested in you now does he?"
Hollywood continued to run like a crazed bull around the pasture, tearing out some of the grass with his hooves that pounded over it. His ears were plastered back and he looked out to the trails each time he passed them. "The best thing to do is put him back in the wild and buy yourself a nice, tame mustang"

Maya shook her head, pretty much ignoring everything she spoke about. She sighed, Maybe she's right.. Maybe he doesn't belong here.. She laughed weakly in her mind, eyes now growing glassy. Here I am.. Chasing some dream that would never happen. She stared at Danielle and shrugged "I was going to try and break him in tomorrow, but maybe you're right. He doesn't belong here. I guess I'll bring him back to the wild in the morning. I'd rather pass on the tame mustang part." She pretty much choked on her words, still holding back her unshed tears. She's right... God this hurts.. She leaned on the fencing, looking out to the trails. As much as it would hurt her, she would have Wanted to focuse all her energy on. She looked towards her bland white trailer and pretty much allowed a tear to roll down her pink cheeks. It would remain bland and bare for Hollywood's name would not be enscrawled upon it.

Danielle nodded"Try breaking him, if you can't bring him back, i may be wrong, i am not always right, it is just my opinion, don't listen to me, i am the sort that would just give up on him, you on the other hand seem to really have hope in him." She smiled, she loved to help out.
Hollywood slowly calmed and sniffed the fence and soon laied down and began to roll, his dirt dried coat getting even more dirty"And if you are going to bring him back, give him a bath first" Danielle laughed and pulled her sunglasses down from her hair and over her eyes.

Maya laughed quietly and nodded, "I'll try.. Perhaps you can come around and about later on when I do try and break him." Her tears faded as she now looked towards Hollywood. She laughed a bit harder, seeing him roll around like some colt. "Good idea. Well, either way he's still going to need a bath." She looked to Danielle and smiled, she couldn't wait until tomorrow.

Danielle smirked and watched the colt like stallion rolling in the mud and getting himself dirty like a pig rolling in his food. Danielle chuckled lightly and looked to Maya"I think i will come watch, it could be very entertaining" She said still smirking, she looked back to Hollywood.
He rolled to the other side now and stood up, head high and ears perked, looking for danger of any sort. As soon as he was on all four he began to trot at liberty, head low, ears perked, tail flagging, legs stretching out at great lengths.

Maya smirked, "My pain equals your happiness." Sighing, she watched him gallantly trot around the pasture. This was a beautiful sight to behold. She reached slowly into her pocket and pulled out a thin camera. Turning the flash off, Maya luckily caught a picture of him. As she returned her camera back to her pocket, she smiled, thinking that maybe someday she would be upon his back, though galloping victoriously as they placed first in a barrel competition.
