"Nah, you'll never fall I'll be there to catch you if you do. If anything you'll land on me making me fall and crushing me." he said teasing about the last part. Walking in the stables he attached the rope to his horse so he couldn't go anywhere and then the same for Woody. He started with Woody taking off his saddle and bridal. Going over bringing it to the bench as you were able to see his muscles under his shirt. He then walked back over to her handing her a brush, "Here you go pretty lady." he said smiling before turning to do the same to his horse. "So do you know any good ice cream places we can go to after we finish up here? I'm still getting used to here so I don't know really where the good places are."

"I could definitely see me crushing you. Me and my fat ass," She giggled, watching him as he took off the saddles, blushing a bit as she could see the outline of his muscles. It was almost like he was unintentionally flaunting himself in front of her, it simply wasn't fair. "Thanks," She said, attempting to not stare as she took the brush, turning to Woody, not really sure if there was a specific way she had to brush him or something.
"There's actually a really good ice cream shop on campus."

Austin laughed as he started to groom Buddy already have grooming him today, but just made sure he got the mud off of him and to take care of his hooves. "Really? We can go to that one, if it's still open I hope. I mean it's not too late only eight I think." he said starting to do the hooves on Buddy now. "I have treats in the grooming over there if you want to give them any." he told her giving her a small smile.

Elizabeth leaned on the gate to the zebra exhibit. She wore a flowing white dress that stopped just above her knees, her hair falling around her face. She had decided that since she was going to be meeting Austin's mom, she was going to wear something more than a pair of shorts and a T-shirt, she wanted to at least look somewhat nice.
Elizabeth still wore a pair of shorts under the dress, just in case they did eventually decide to go horseback riding again. A part of her was really hoping that they would.
So far the date seemed to be going pretty well, though it had really only just begun. She had to admit that she was surprised that Austin even wanted to introduce her to his mother so soon, since they weren't even officially together yet.
"So you actually like me enough to bring me around your mom?" she asked, curiously. "Did you already tell her that I was coming?"

Austin leaned against the gate sipping on his drink watching the zebras wearing his jeans, and a button down shirt like he usually wore along with his cowboy boots but didn't bring his hat with him today. He raised a brow looking at her when she asked that question, kinda wishing he did since the sun was now kinda in his eyes and he felt the sun beating on the back of his neck, hence the term redneck but his neck always tanned afterwards. "Such a silly question to be asking Elizabeth." he told her smiling. He stood up straight holding his arm out to her to walk with her to the next exhibit. "Of course I do...I know we aren't official yet...I'm kinda scared thinking you'll say no." he told her honestly. "I told her, and she is very excited to meet you, her boyfriend too." he told her with a nod. "You'll be fine stop worrying." he told her nudging her playfully.

Elizabeth smiled, looping her arm with his. She was actually a bit sad that he didn't wear his hat today. He was absolutely gorgeous either way, but the hat just added the little something that made every cowboy look like a real cowboy. "Right, because I would totally say no," she giggled, shaking her head. He knew how she felt about him. How could he honestly believe that she would even turn him down?
"I'm excited to meet them too...just worried that I'm going to screw up or something," she said with a little sigh, resting her head on his shoulder.
She looked up at the sky, a little smile across her lips. It was so beautiful out today.
"So, time to actually get to know each other, agree?" she asked, looking back over to him. "What do you want to do after high school"

"Well I don't know you might change your mind. Plus there's going to be a right time and place for that when I ask you." he told her smiling. He sipped his drink and moved over to see the monkeys. "You won't screw anything up, there isn't anything to screw up." he told told her kissing the top of her head wrapping his arm around her pulling her in front of him so he could wrap his other arm around her watching the monkeys. "After high school? Well I plan on going to law school to become a lawyer, and minor in business so eventually I'll be able to own and run my own stables. Just like my dad." he told her. "What about you? Anything special?" he asked raising a brow watching the monkey make faces at them, it was pretty funny watching them.

Elizabeth leaned back against him, giggling as one of the monkeys wiggled their butt at them. Monkeys could be so gross, but she loved them. "Aren't they cute?" She said with a little smile, pointing to one of the signs that said that the monkeys were from South Africa. "We have monkeys just like this back home. My friends and I used to volunteer at the rehabilitation center and I was actually part of a campaign for getting donations for the center. So they would have me actually take pictures and videos of me with the monkeys, Leopards, turtles, all that fun stuff for the commercials and whatnot," She said as she looked back at him with a little smile. "That's really awesome that you want to follow in your father's footsteps. I actually want to become a model. I did small commercials when I was little and absolutely loved doing the campaign. I've already been offered a couple modeling contracts."

Austin laughed watching the monkey nodded, "Yeah they're cute." he said listening to her story. "That sounds nice...and I'm surprised you took a picture with a leopard. I probably would have shit my pants." he told her laughing swaying a bit with her looking to the signs reading about the monkeys. "Yeah...it's something I've always wanted to do." he told her nodding. "Modeling? I can picture you doing something like that. You could be one of those Victorias Secret model." he said smirking a bit looking down at her before walking over to see some of the other animals. "What's your favorite animal?" he asked looking over to the gift shop, thinking he was probably going to go in at some point and get her a stuffed animal of her favorite animal here.

"It was absolutely terrifying," Elizabeth giggled, shaking her head a bit. "But it was so much fun! It ended up being the sweetest thing. I just wanted to take it home," she said, moving away from him and going over the lion exhibit. She watched as the lion went up to the glass, scratching a little bit on the glass as if trying to get to her. She looked up at the creature, surprised by how massive it was, scratching on the glass a little bit at him. She played like she was growling, which got the lion to roar--it didn't look angry, but very curious.
"Running around in lingerie and bathing suits for a living?" she asked, raising an eyebrow, "I don't think I have the body for it," she patted her stomach a little bit.
She perked up a bit when he asked about her favorite animal. "I love the look of penguins--they're the cutest. But I'd have to so my favorite animal is a hippo. I actually helped raise a baby pygmy hippo, because the mother and father had been killed. Hippos aren't really the prettiest creatures, but I absolutely loved this little hippo! Before it grew in it's teeth it would go an nibble on my nose." she said, tapping the tip of her nose.

"I'm sure your parents would have loved that you brought a leopard home." Austin said smiling placing a hand on her lower back watching her with the lion chuckling lightly. "Well I know now if you were thrown into the wild in Africa you'd be alright because I'll make friends with the lions." he teased her watching the lion. "Don't have the body for it? Pffft. You defiantly have the body for it. I'm scared to work out with you, might show me as a wimp." he told her laughing listening to how she likes penguins but hippos were her favorite. "Alright missy, by the time we leave I'm going to get you a stuffed hippo to take home. You need to have something to remind you about our fabulous date together." he told her turning her to him wrapping his arms around her leaning down kissing her before tapping her nose playfully.

"My father actually would have loved it. He was the one that got me to start volunteering when I was twelve. If it were up to him, we would have turned our backyard into an animal sanctuary, but my mom doesn't like animals," Elizabeth laughed, watching as the lion laid against the glass, turning his tummy to her as though she could scratch it through the glass. "Most of the animals here are used to humans and love. Most of them probably actually came for the animal rescue I volunteer for--wouldn't be surprised if this guy actually knows me," she nodded, though she couldn't really tell if it were one of their lions, unless she knew it's name and saw it's records.
Elizabeth looked over at him with a little smirk. "I highly doubt that. Sure, I have some muscle going on, but do you honestly think I've ever done real work in my life?" she asked as touched the palm of one of his hands, feeling how callused the skin was.
"I would absolutely love that," She said in reply to him talking about getting her a stuffed hippo. She wrapped her arms around him in return, pulling him closer as she kissed him back. "I'm having a really good time with you."

"You would have had your own zoo in your backyard, sweet." he said laughing watching the lion tilting his head a bit smiling as it did the same. "Yeah he's kinda cute, just a big cat." he said smiling looking down to her watching her touch the palm of his hand blushing lightly. "Yeah...I don't have the softest hands you'll probably touch." he told her smiling slightly as she kissed him back. "Me too, just think we will have plenty of more dates to go on if you want to." he said kissing her again. "I like kissing you too." he whispered against her lips kissing her again as he pulled her closer.

Elizabeth smiled, shaking her head a little bit. "I like that your hands are rough. It's a sign of a hard working man. To be honest, I need a man that is willing to get down and dirty more than I am--and I'm willing to clean up rhino crap, so they have to be able to get pretty dirty," She laughed. She wasn't really a big fan of most guys these days; most had done less hard work in their lives than she had. And the thought of even walking to their car got most of them exhausted.
"I would really like to go on more dates with you," She said, her lips almost touching his before she leaned back in, kissing him again. She could have kissed him all day.

Austin laughed brushing a hand along her face, "Well good, guess that means I'm your man." he told her kissing her. Kissing her was pretty amazing, it's been a while since he kissed a girl, this was different, she was different...he liked it. "Then we will go on more dates." he murmured against her lips before remember they were in public, kids and families were here. They probably didn't want to see two teenagers making out in front of the lion exhibit. He pulled away smiling to her, "Let's save the make out session for later when we're alone. I don't think families want to see that." he teased kissing her forehead taking her hand to walk to where the penguins were.

Elizabeth blushed a bit as she kissed him back, pushing herself closer to him before he brought it to her attention that there were families around. Yeah, she knew that she wouldn't appreciate seeing that if she had gone to the zoo with her family. She moved away from him a little, nodding in agreement. "You're right," She smiled, walking next to him with a little bounce in her step. When they got over to the penguins she leaned over a bit to get a good look in the exhibit, listening to the penguins call out. She looked over to see a couple kids looking down at the exhibit as well, attempting to imitate the sounds of the penguins, making her laugh.
She looked back at Austin, still wanting to know more about him.
"Are you the kind of guy that eventually wants a family to live on that farm with you?" She asked curiously.

Austin watched the penguins looking down to the kids laughing lightly looking to her nodding, "Yeah probably. I want to be a lawyer for a while and get my family started and stuff and eventually move on onto the farm to take care of the animals and stuff. Probably after I kick all the kids out of the house." he teased winking to her. "I just hope they won't grow up to be bratty teenagers, so I'll have to find some hard labor for them to do." he said watching as they started to feed the penguins smiling. "What about you? Do you want kids and stuff? I know modeling they judge you if you don't have that perfect body." he said glancing over to her.

Elizabeth looked at him, listening as he talked about his plan, which actually seemed rather ideal. She gave him a little nod, grabbing his hand. "I want to do want my parents didn't do; spend time with my kids. I find that when kids aren't entertained, whether it be with hard work or just in general giving them something to work at, they turn out to be like most of the teens at school," she said with a sigh. The fact that most of the teenagers that went to Tidewater were spoiled brats definitely explains their behavior. She was spoiled, sure, but her father having her volunteer and work with the animals kept her mainly on the right path. She didn't really have the free time that most of the other kids did.
"Of course I want kids--my career wouldn't get in the way of that. I've seen Victoria Secret models go off, have kids, and resign with Victoria Secret right afterwards. Girls just need to be driven enough to get back into shape and go back out there instead of getting too comfortable with staying at home and eating ice cream all day."

Austin nodded, "That's nice you still want kids. Ever think of going to school for something else just in case modeling doesn't work out?" he asked her smiling. "You'd be a pretty sexy teacher." he told her chuckling lightly kissing her neck watching the penguins. "Yeah...sometimes it doesn't help when the guy they are with a scums and don't really help out with the kids or tell them they are beautiful or encourage them to get back into shape." he said resting his head on top of hers. "You hungry at all? Want something to drink or like a pretzel or anything like that?" he asked her not knowing if she ate before they came here.

Elizabeth laughed as she looked up at him. "A sexy teacher? I think I would be a tad bit too distracting," she said with a little wink. Teaching could be fun, but she knew from experience that if a student had an attractive teacher, there was no paying attention to the content of the class. She thought it over for a minute, wondering what else she would be good at. "Maybe I could be a doctor? Or a veterinarian? It would be an emotionally tough job, but it would be worth it to help people and animals."
She cuddled up to his side, leading him towards the giraffe exhibit where a bunch of people were standing around feeding and petting the giraffes. "Would you call me beautiful still and encourage me to get back into shape?" She asked, just teasing more than anything.
Elizabeth placed a hand on her stomach, trying to decide whether she was even hungry. After a minute she decided she wouldn't mind a snack. "A pretzel sounds tasty."
