Blue...shimmering blue waters......mmmmm.....no-o-o-o?......eyes, blue, sparkling eyes staring right down into my soul....mmmm... I love those blue eyes......mmmmmmm....
Mia hung in the space between reality and fantasy, unaware of the droning of the engine or Lois singing along with "Achey, Breaky Heart" playing on the radio. Her drug-induced stupor was beginning to wear off, just as she was kissing the brands on that nice, round ass in front of her face.....mmmmmm......Heaven and blue eyes......still not able to put a coherent thought together.
"Crunch, crunch, crunch," went the tires on the gravel driveway leading up to the ranch house and stables, causing Mia to stir again. She moaned softly as those beautiful, blue eyes were fading away....."Please, don't go," she mumbled.
"Crun-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch" as the truck slid to an abrupt stop, a moan came from the back seat.
"Sorry, sweetie, I shouldn't have braked so suddenly. Are you okay?" asked Lois, looking back between the front seats. Realizing no response was coming, she climbed down from the cab and waved to Haile, who was just walking across the yard. "I need a little help here, get Mary, please."
Mary and Haile appeared just as Lois had set up the step stool and climbed into the back next to Mia's inert form. "She is barely conscious, so we will have to be extra careful. Haile, I need you to grab her legs as I slide her out. Mary, try to get her under her arms then I'll jump down and we can try to get her to walk between us to the barn."
"Hursh," slurred Mia like a 'Friday night drunk', her head bobbed loosely, as they half dragged her towards the barn.
Throwing Haile the keys, Lois told her to take the bedding out of the truck and put it back in the stall # 17. "We will meet you there, glancing at Mia's condition,....eventually." Mary laughed.
"You were right to go all the way to the Big D, boss, your chances of finding someone this pretty anywhere else were really slim. She looks to be as tall as you too, if we could just get her to hold her head up. Richard is going to be amazed."
"Rishurd?" queried Mia as her head rolled back on to her shoulder to the right looking at Mary, "Who are you?"
"I'm Mary. Who are you?"
"I'm...who am I....oh, yeah,..... 0723-0665."
"No, you're still Mia for now, silly pony....MIA."
"I'm Mia," she repeated and then flopped her head to the left to see where the other voice was coming from. Instant recognition hit her, "Blue eyes! I love blue eyes," she squealed, breaking away from Mary's grip to hug Lois like a python and kissing her passionately on the lips.
Lois was only taken aback for a split second and then she returned the kiss and hug. "Welcome to your home for the next nine days, Mia. This is Mary, as you now know, she and Haile will be your trainers and caregivers. You will meet Haile in a few minutes. She is making your bed right now. Let's go inside."
"I love blue eyes."
"I know, you told me."
"Did I? I don't remember."
Lois's eyes rolled as shook her head while Mary just giggled, "They must have given her something stronger than Tylenol to be that loopy."
They resumed their positions, one on each side, and continued into the barn. The late evening activities around the stable's stalls were just a din to Mia, as wranglers got their charges settled in for the night. She was almost walking on her own now and things were getting clearer. They stopped next to an emergency medical station, located just inside the door, and Lois gave Mia two Tylenol from the cabinet to take and pointed her to a water fountain. They watched her closely to see how stable she was getting on her feet. (no pun intended)
Mia stood by the fountain staring at the pills in her hand. She used to know what to do with them, she was sure of that. Mary walked over and took the pills from Mia, "It's okay, Mia. I'll save these for later when you are more awake. It's almost time for bed anyways. Let's go find your stall, okay?"
"Okay," said Mia, "What color are your eyes?" turning to face Mary. "O-o-o-o, green eyes. I love green eyes. I have green eyes too. See." she said as she stumbled slightly to come nose-to-nose with Mary.
"Yes, they are very nice eyes. Time for bed," Mary answered as she took her hand to lead her done the row of stalls as Lois headed quickly for the ranch house.
Haile had the bed all ready when they arrived. "Mia, this is Mistress Haile. She will check your bandages in the morning and get you ready to start your training."
"Mishtus Haile," slurred Mia. "O-o-o-o, dark eyes. Big, beautiful, dark eyes," she said as she slung her arms around a very stunned Haile's neck and started to kiss her.
Haile very briefly returned the kiss and then gently pushed Mia away looking with desperation towards Mary, "What's with the 'eyes' thing?"
"Damned if I know. We'll have to ask the boss."
"You'll have to ask me what?" asked Lois as she entered the stall, carrying a small, protein shake. "Mia, drink this. It will help you sleep."
Mary responded, "Mia seems to be inordinately fascinated with everyone's eyes. How come?"
"Primarily, I think it is the morphine haze she is in, but the vet at the Big D created a 'bonding' moment between us when Mia woke up from her branding and now, she is fixated on my eyes. Everyone's apparently."
Mia handed the empty cup back to Lois. "Thank you." Staring longingly, she said, "I love blue eyes."
"I know, you told me."
"Did I? I don't remember." Mia looked confused when everyone burst out laughing.
"It's time for bed, pretty pony. Haile, she is all yours. I'll relieve you at midnight. Mary, when you relieve me at 6, please bring another protein shake for Mia's breakfast. I don't want her to have anything solid until the morphine has completely worn off. Come on, Mary, let's go discuss Mia's training schedule. Good night, Haile. Good night, Mia." With that, Lois and Mary departed arm-in-arm.
"Good night," returned Haile, taking Mia by the hand over to the bed, she said, "I want you to kneel on the bed now and slowly lower yourself down. I can help you if you need me." She winced slightly as she watched Mia slowly and somewhat painfully get flattened out. She began to stroke Mia's hair with one hand and rub her back with the other, all the while softly praising her beautiful hair and what a good pony she was going to be. Mia went out like a light and Haile gently kissed her cheek then covered her with a light blanket. Closing the stall door, Haile made her rounds of the stables, set the thermostat to 72, turned off the lights and stationed herself within earshot of stall 17, where Mia slept peacefully.
The tap-tap-tap of Mary's riding boots could be heard, as she tip-toed through the stables, not wishing to wake anyone prematurely. "Good morning, boss. How did it go last night?"
"Haile said she had no problems as Mia went right to sleep. She only fussed a little when she tried to roll onto her side, moaned, and then went back onto her stomach. I'm going to bed now. I'll see you at lunch. She's all yours."
Mary sat on the edge of the bed and gently rubbed Mia's cheek, "Time to wake up, pretty pony."
Mia stirred slightly and slowly tried to open her eyes, vaguely aware of a throbbing in her behind. She reached back to see what the trouble was but Mary grabbed her hand to prevent her from touching it. "Easy, pony, mustn't touch yet."
Mia opened her eyes fully and looked at Mary. "Do I know you?"
"Yes, I'm Mary, you know, the one with the green eyes."
"O-o-h-h-h, green eyes. I love green eyes."
"Yes, I know, silly pony, now push up onto your hands and knees and I'll help you stand up." Getting Mia to her feet was more work than Mary expected due to how tall Mia was. Mary handed Mia the protein shake. "Drink this slowly."
Mia sipped at the shake while looking around, more than a little disoriented. Her mind suddenly snapped wide-awake, "Okay, I get it now, I'm in a stable, right?"
"Yes, you are! Welcome back to reality, that was some dose they gave you yesterday. Here, take these two Tylenol you couldn't handle last night, you're going to need them today. On a scale of 1 to 10, what is your pain level right now?"
"Mmmm, about a three."
