Mucking In (Open)

"Whatever you say I'm not a lolicon.." Ethan said as he shoveld the dung which was at front of him. After shoveling for 30times, Ethan was able to rest. He looked at Alice when Rita wasn't paying attention to him. He thought 'this must be hard for Alice...'

"Eeeewwww!" Alice says jumping back as the dung landed by her. "You did that on purpose!...you...you Witch!" The seven year old shook her head in disgust and shoveled dung onto a nearby pile that splattered onto Nicolette's shoes.
Rita sniffed slightly, holding her nose in a figurative sense she dove into her pile, shovelling partly onto a neat new pile of dung and partly onto Ethan's pile. She was paying the boy little to no attention as she was focused on the task at hand.

After noticing that Rita was not paying any attention to him, Ethan was watching Alice and the Nicolette. He was shoveling and thinking 'when does it end..'. Ethan stopped shoveling and watched Alice and Nicolette, thinking ' There's a lot of time to finish this....' When he saw Nicolette gripping Alice's neck, he shouted "what are you doing Nicolett!" and ran to Alice

Alice almost choked, her shovel fell from her hands and almost certainly landed upon Nicolette's feet. Then she was flying through the air and landed with a squelch into the pile, which splattered in all directions onto the stable doors and onto Nicolette's legs. Alice screamed, and spun around on the floor, almost entirely covered, she groaned and wiped her eyes and mouth clean of the dung. The young girl was kneeling at Nicolette's feet.

Rita spun around upon hearing the scream, her first thought was that Nicolette had fed the girl to the horses. When she saw what happened she let out a sigh of relief, she saw Ethan running past and playfully stuck out her leg intending to trip him. "You shouldn't realy get in the way of Snugglebunny when she's like that."

Because Ethan was paying attention to Alice, he didn't see Rita's leg and stumbled. Fortunately, he didn't fall down but he looked at Rita saying "Why shouldn't I get in the way of her when she's like that..?"He waited for Rita's answer as he looked at Alice who was standing up.

Alice slowly pushed herself to her feet, wiping the muck from her and flicking it onto the ground and small amounts onto Nicolette. Alice narrowed her eyes slightly, she glared at the older woman for a moment or two. The seven year old shook her head slightly and bent down to pick up her shovel. She was tempted to drive it into the woman's foot, but fought the urge. "Your a witch!"
Rita grabbed the boy's arm and held him back. "Wanna know why?...She just attacked a seven year old...Your about her age and a boy...What do you think she's going to do to you?"

Nicolette stopped shoveling and stared at Alice was trying to clean herself. As she flicked a very small pile of dung onto Nicolette's skinny jeans and tried to shout back, Nicolette gave her a small push and sent her into that pile of poo again. "You are just too hungry, aren't you?"

Ethan asked Rita "Well..if I am about her age and a boy... what will she do to me..?" He picked up the shovel that he threw before running towards Alice and waited for Rita to answer. He thought 'why would Rita try to stop me..?' When he saw Nicolette pushing Alice again he didn't wait for Rita's answer and ran toward Alice murmuring 'what's wrong with that girl'

As Nicolette pushed Ethan, Ethan thought 'wow... she is fast'. By flying while he was pushed, Ethan was able to not fall in to the pile.Still flying, he asked Nicolette as he looked around to find Alice "why do you call me a lovebird?"

A small pile of dung flew upwards, missing Nicolette by inches. Alice winced slightly, she wiped her face clean again, picked up her shovel and pushed herself to her feet. "Your a mean Witch!" Alice yells pointing a finger at Nicolette. "Your mean and I hate you! Witch!"
Rita blinked slightly, a small smirk on her face as she watched Nicolette waste the pair. She laughed as she watched the events and shook her head slowly "ah such good fun."

"Ew no I'll get my shoes dirty." Rita says, walking up besides Nicolette, her lips curved into a coy smile "besides snugglebunny, it's so much more fun watching him crawl around in the muck." Rita wiped her hands slightly and shook her head slowly. She stiffled a gasp watching Nicolette's treatment of the seven year old. She cocked her head and folded her arms "that was mean and uncalled for....She's just a little Kid."
"Hey....W....Witch!" Alice whimpers, the lights goes out around her, the only light being that which came from the entrance. She heard movement around her and her body trembled. The seven year olds eyes darted around the stables, she could hear the horses moving around her in the darkness.

"I don't know she was only Seven and if Artemis patron of Maiden's hears or has even seen about this you will be in serious trouble." Rita says, shaking her head slowly. "You may not mind angering other mortals, but the gods on high are immortal and can hold grudges and have many means of punishing those who upset them. In fact in most stories about them, the yare punishing mortals who anger them."

Ethan glanced at rita and nicolette who were 'fighting ' and went to Alice. He opened the door and looked for Alice. When he found her he held his hand to her and said " they are just pegasus. So you dont have to worry. He went out the stable and asked Nicolette "how did you know if they were pegasus?"

Rita rolled her eyes slightly, slowly shaking her head slightly. She used her own shovel, standing besides Nicolette she began to continue with her shovel. "I'm not complaining about...I'm just amazed you'd do something like that."

Alice sniffled, taking Ethan's dung covered hand quickly and pulled herself outside to safety. She whimpered and hugged herself close to him, wrapping her Arms around him as best she could.

Ethan went back to Rita and Nicolette. He asked them "so are you guys still arguing....? I mean we still have a lot of work to do. We still need to clean like half of the ranch.

Rita shook her head and held up her hands defensivly. She let a small chuckle escape her lips. "No no I have no problem with that....Geez your in such a foul mood today no wonder a seven year old wound you up."
