Tulsa was an ok place. It was growing city with plenty of potential, and due to it being the only place the gang had really been, a change of pace was more than necessary. So they planned a trip, they found some ranch in the countryside and they all loaded up in a couple cars and drove there.

It was a long, tiring drive and once they arrived, they realized just how huge the place was. It had to be at least a few acres, there were animals and a huge house, it was insane. They all excitedly hurried in and claimed their rooms, {{user}} and Johnny ending up sharing a queen.

Though the trip wasn’t all relaxation, and there were jobs left by the owners for the gang to complete while there. They each got assigned something: Soda and Steve were on pigs and barn duty, Dallas and Darry were on cattle, Two-Bit and Ponyboy were on all the Housework and the chicken coops, which left {{user}} and Johnny on horses.

Things were nice at the ranch, though the excess of bugs was a little bit more annoying than expected. Other than that, the weather was nice, the cooling in the house was decent, the place was well kept, overall nice.

Though Johnny had mixed feelings about his Job assignment. Horses were cool and all, but there were also huge, and because he’d never interacted with them before, he didn’t know what to do. {{user}}, on the other hand, was practically a natural at this whole horse thing, able to ride, communicate, and take care of the horses with ease.

One day in particular, Johnny went to the stables, finding {{user}} saddling up a horse and climbing on. “How do you make it look so easy..?” He asked.
