Who: Reina and Sofia Wood, Andrew Del Mar Twist,and varying adults
What: Valentine's Day Visiting
When: Thursday, Feb 14. Duh.
Warnings: Cuteness, I'm sure.

The girls were thrilled to be on their way to visit their valentine; Drew wasn't icky like other boys, he was nice to them and polite, and Papi seemed to like him. Besides, they like new friends, and Drew had ponies!

Hopping right up after the portkey, they shot out to the end of the alley, in search of Drew and his family. Greg lumbered to his feet behind them, knowing it wouldn't do any good to try and get them to stop, instead following them off down the road.

Alma walked over and put her hands on Drew's shoulders, bending down. "Didja do all th'stuff y'Daddy asked?"

Drew gave an exasperated sigh. "Yeah, Ma."

"Don't be leavin' th'yard, y'hear? I'll be watchin' y'all from the window while I get th'dishes done. Don't be gettin' in y'Papaw's way, neither." She stood up tall. "Have fun, girls." Going up to the house she climbed onto the porch and went thru the screen door.

Drew looked over to the girls. "So y'wanna see th'horses?"

	The girls were exceptionally sweet while Alma was talking to Drew, signing between each other and picking at the weeds near the fence. Once she was gone, they gave Drew matching grins, already excited. "Can we? Please?!" That was obviously a yes, Reina adding a few claps for good measure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Drew grinned and without a word raced off to the barn, scurrying to push the door open enough for them to slither in, waving for them to follow him. "Just don't be stickin'none a yer hands in 'less I say 's ok, if you don't want 'em bit off." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Okay!" Sofia signed the message over, and Reina nodded as well, noses scrunching as they walked into the barn, looking around at the whiffling and snorting of the horses. "S'so many of 'em!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well yeah, we gots to have lots of them. 's what cowboys got." He trotted over to honeysuckle's stable and wabed them over. "Honey don't bite nobody but Russel, an' that's only when he tries t'stand onner back." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sofia translated that for Reina before carefully reaching over to run her hand along Honeysuckle's neck as she bent down, giggling as the touch got a snort out of the mare. "She's pretty, Drew!" Sofia seemed in awe, watching the horse move more than paying attention to her new friend, but that was to be expected. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah, reckon she is. She's a right sweet thing." He looked around, running to grab a bag of sugar cubes before returning. He put one in each girl's palm and kept one for himself. "Let her eat 'em off y'hand, her tongue feels funny!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Looking a little unsure- having been bit quite a few times letting TriTri eat out of her hand- Sofia frowned a little, before deciding she trusted Drew enough to hold out her hand with the cube on it. Honeysuckle sniffed at her before wrapping her lips around Fi's small hand and lapping the sugar up.

Sofia squealed out a giggle, moving her hand back to wipe it on her jeans. "That's silly!" Reina saw the reaction and did the same, giggling for herself.

	Drew watched and giggled at their reactions, letting the horse eat off his hand too. He wiped it into his shirt and gave the horse a pat. "It's fun, can't be givin' them, any more tho, else they go a little crazy." He took the bag and put it bag exactly the way he got it. "Whatcha wanna see next?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sofia looked around, signing over to Reina, and they turned to Drew and shrugged. "'Dunno, what's else to do onna ranch?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A smirk covered Drew's features and he went to slide another door open, revealing the mountain in the distance. "Well, there's sheeps." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Oooh..." Sofia looked up at the mountain, walking out of the barn as if drawn to it. "Can we's go up there?"

"Not 'thout askin' Drew's Ma first, y'can't," A voice drawled from the outside of the barn, Jack ambling into sight and pulling his hat off to give a little bow to the girls. "An' you must be those valnetines Drew was so keen on meetin'. S'a pleasure, misses,"

The girls both giggled, curtseying a little themselves.

	Drew pursed his lips, arms moving up behind himself. "Mama said we aint s'posed t'go onna mountain 'thout you or Papaw." he muttered, a bit disappointed he hadn't had the chance to sneak the girls up there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	houses_of_wood 2008-02-17 02:52 am UTC (link)
	"Y'wan' me t'head up with ya? 'R I can go see f'I can't find y'Papaw, have 'im head up with ya, while'I tend t'the barn." The twins seemed hopeful, but kept quiet, wanting to let Drew make the decision, since he knew his Grandpa and PaPaw better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"If y'busy maybe Papaw can take us." He said softly, careful. "But I don't think th'girls mind who takes us up, I'd be as happy goin' up with you as with Papaw, Grampa Jack." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Jack gave a small smile and nodded again. "S'my turn t'work out the herd, an' last I saw yer Papaw s'off bein' lazy out back. I'll go get 'im, just a minute." Jack gave another bow to the girls before heading off back into the barn, looking for Ennis.

Sofia looked over to Drew, seeming a little uncertain. "Did you do something bad?" He was giving Jack the look she gave Papi when she did something bad. She didn't want to get him in trouble...

	Ennis was out back, in fact. He'd been out there when the girls arrived, but hadn't moved to greet them, leaving all of that to Alma and Drew. He lay in the grass, whittling on a hunk of wood. He looked up when Jack's shadow interfered with his light. He squinted up at Jack. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"M'supposed t'be askin' ya if y'll take th'kids up onna mountain, see th'herd. Y'too busy?" A well-placed eyebrow and boot to Ennis' shin showed he wasn't going to buy that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	quiet_cowboy 2008-02-17 03:10 am UTC (link)
	"I don't know nothin' about kids, Jack." Ennis looked back down at the horse he was trying to fashion out of the wood. "An' why ain't you takin' them?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Jack gave him a look, putting his hands on his hips in a disgruntled fashion. "'Ain't nothin' t'know, Ennis- y'up there t'make sure th'girls don't fall offa side o'th'mountain. Drew'll take care'a th'rest. An' b'sides, y'know Drew s'more comf't'ble th'you, than with me. An' I'm th'one been cleanin' out th'barn all day, n'don't feel like haulin' my ass back up th'mountain. Jus' g'on. Promise you'll survive,"

	Ennis shifted and rolled up to his feet. He gave jack a disapproving look, before heading off to the barn. He assumed the kids would be there, waiting, lest they'd run off on their own. Ennis could only hope. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Jack trotted up to be in stride with Ennis, clapping him on the shoulder once, "I'll make it up t'ya later, cowboy," And before Ennis could retaliate, he jogged into the barn, where he found the girls spinning and running in circles around Drew. "Y'all behave f'Ennis, now. He's an ornery ol' man, sometimes,"

The girls stopped and listened to Jack before giggling at each other, as if in on some joke.

	Drew shook his head at Sofia's question. "Nah I aint done nothin' bad, I just bein' 'spectful a mah Grampa Jack." Glancing over when Jack came in and spoke and he spotted Ennis, he let out a sort of gasp of glee and ran over to his Papaw, hugging him. "Thankya Papaw, f'takin' us up!"

	Ennis grunted as Drew attached himself to his legs. He spared a glare at Jack, over his shoulder. Turning to the girls, he smiled sweetly. "My, aren't y'both pretty things?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	houses_of_wood 2008-02-17 03:37 am UTC (link)
	The smile was sort of creepy, the way Papi's smiles were creepy when he didn't really mean them, but Ennis got a pair of sweet grins in return. "Howdy, Mister. Thank y'for takin' us up onna mountain. We's never been onna ranch before!" She signed as she spoke, getting a nod out of Reina when she was done. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
