Ashley woke up to Jesse kissing her- She kissed back, until she had fully woken up, then she sat up quickly,
"Jesse ! What're you doin' ?" he grinned,
"Just waking you with a sweet kiss- You are comin' to the gig tonite ?" she nodded,
"I told Jeff I'd be there-" he sighed,
"I ain't hearin' about loverboy. He got you last nite, it's my turn-" she cut him off,
"Um, you ruined lastnite, thank you very much, and I'm going tonite to watch Jeff-" he shook his head,
"You're bein' so ornery, you won't be able to NOT notice me & you know it." she pulled her legs up, hugging them,
"You're always so full of yourself Jesse-" he shrugged,
"Confidence is a good thing." she smiled,
"Whatever-"
Tom came in, having just showered,
"Thanks for milkin' the beast for me Ash-" she smiled,
"She wasn't too bad today-" the cow, Sally, more commonly known as the beast, usually gave Tom a hard time when he milked her-

Ashley wore hip hugging bellbottems, a tshirt folded thru the collar so her belly was bare, leather sandles-
Jesse & Tom were leaving in Toms truck, expecting Ashley to ride with them, she shook her head,
"I'm riding Dusty, he hasn't been out for awhile-"
She went out & put a harness on him, but no saddle, just a small rug, she grabbed a handful of his mane, pulling herself up, she leaned down, stroking his neck,
"Such a good boy Dusty-" they headed off towards town-

Jada had talked Pappy into letting her drive his truck, a few friends were riding with her- Jeff got a ride with Chris & Jimmy-

Ashley tied Dusty up at the bar where her Mom worked, there was a barrel of water there for him- She went inside, telling her Mom she'd be at the dance- Saying hello to all the regulars who'd known her since she'd been born-

Jesse & the guys set things up- They didn't have much equipment wise, the amps were on loan, Rowdy had a cool drum kit- Jimmy & Chris went cruisin' for girls- Jesse messed with Jeff-
"So, You almost got ya some last night, huh boy ?" Jeff looked at him, then shook his head- "No ? Why, I was under the understanding that I interrupted somethin' quite serious-" Tom & Rowdy glanced at eachother, Jeff didn't answer-
"Ah come on Jeffrey, I'd sure as hell let you know it if you screwed up a chance for Me gettin' laid-" Jeff stared at Jesse, finally saying,
"You know, you're one of my best friends, but sometimes you're a fucking asshole." Jesse's eyebrows went up, he glanced at Tom & Rowdy,
"Whoo hoo ! Well, I suppose you've got a point there, fact is, you didn't get laid last night-" Jeff sighed, turning away from him- Jesse grinned, winking at Tom & Rowdy-
Ashley walked up to Jada,
"Hey, are the guys ready ?" she nodded,
"Yeah. Jesse's really messin' with Jeff." Ashley smiled,
"Yeah, well, I have a surprise for Jeff after the dance." Jada raised her eyebrows,
"Details !" Ashley shook her head,
"Not until tomorrow. I don't want anything to screw this up."
"So Jeff wins huh ?"
"I don't think of it that way-"
"Mmm hmm..." the guys started playing & the girls started dancing-
