Maya's POV-
                          
A rodeo.
                          
He had took us to a rodeo.
                          
Out of everything in Texas , he had to take us to .... This!
                          
"I'm going to demonstrate how to ride a bull for you." Said Lucas , A lopsided grin placed onto his face.
                          
"DON'T." I replied.
                          
I hated rodeos , They could be incredibly dangerous at times , I didn't want to risk losing Lucas.
                          
"Why?" Said Lucas , Frowning a little.
                          
"Because ... I..um.. Want to demonstrate for you,I uh know how to ride one!" I replied instantly, But deeply regretted what I had said. 
                          
"One?" Said Lucas,Laughing. "Don't you mean you know how to ride a bull,not ride one?"
                          
"Eh , Whatever Huckleberry." I said. "Can I demonstrate or not?"
                          
"Uh sure,if you want." Said Lucas.
                          
I bit my bottom lip nervously, as it trembled. "Okay..."
                          
"Wanna see the bull you'll be riding?" Lucas asked. "Before you climb on, that is."
                          
"Sure."
                          
Lucas pointed at a pure white small bull , I hoped this one would be the one I was riding. Surely, I couldn't be harmed when riding this one.
                          
"That's Judy,the sheep." Sheep. Not bull. I guess that meant I was going to be riding an actual bull.
                          
"And what will I be riding?" I asked. Only I dreaded asking him.
                          
"You'll be riding Tombstone the bull." Lucas replied. From his tone he had obviously not seen or come across tombstone in numerous years,meaning he didn't know what could happen to me when riding this bull.
                          
"Tombstone?" I said. "Hm,a bit of a ... Um .. Odd name,For a bull,isn't it?"
                          
Lucas and his family members just nodded , Not replying to me. 
                          
"Anyway." Said Lucas,pointing to a black bull. "That's the bull your riding."
                          
Tombstone was .... A little terrifying looking. And this is coming from me , I'm rarely scared of anything.
                          
"Are you sure you want to ride him?" Said Lucas,Glancing at me.
                          
I nodded. It was better me riding him , then Lucas.
                          
I knew Lucas. If I said I didn't want to do it,he would have happily done it for me. No questions asked about it.
                          
"Yes,I'm sure." I whispered. 
                          
He whispered down my ear. "Careful,Maya. If it gets to scary for you,up on the bull,I'll gladly come in and get him off of you."
                          
"Thank you,Huckleberry." I smiled gently at him.
                          
He smiled back. "I'm going to go get someone to get tombstone the bull ready to ride on,and you wait here with my aunt and my mom,is that okay?"
                          
"It's fine." I responded, as he quickly ran off into the distance,Trying to find whomever dealt with the bulls.
                          
"Your very brave,Dear." Said His aunt.
                          
"Usually it's the males who ride the bulls." Said Lucas's mother. "Seeing you have an attempt of it Well ... We'll be proud of you for it ,Despite what could happen.
