CC trotted around his mom's paddock with ease, pausing to peer through the black three-rail fence at the cows in the neighboring pasture. Two calves were bouncing around as they play fight with each other before they stopped and spied the colt looking back at them. Trotting over, they stopped at the fence to nudge noses at him before they spoke.
"Hey I'm Bruno and this is Isabela, do you want to play?" The bull calf asked cheerfully.
CC looked over his shoulder, his mom's back was turned as she idly grazed and chatted with the mare in the next paddock over. She wouldn't mind would she? He turned back with a cheerful grin and nodded,"Sure! I'd love to, my name is CC." He said as he motioned over down the fence to the weak board he'd found in the fencing a few days ago and climbed through it.
Finally he was free! He reared up playfully and said,"Try to catch me!" before he turned tail and dashed through the pasture as his two new friends took off after him laughing. As they galloped through the pasture, the white egerts on the ground began to take flight to avoid the stampeding colt and calves. When they finally caught up to him, they slowed into a walk. As they walked along, they talked about everything and anything under the sun as they neared the rest of the herd and Bruno's and Isabela's mothers were waiting on the edge of the herd and couldn't hide their confusion when they spied the colt walking alongside the calves. As they walked up to the two brindled braford cows, Isabela spoke up with a smile, "Mama can our new friend CC stay over here?" Isabela's mother spoke up, "Dear are you lost?"
CC shook his head,"No ma'am, my mama is on the other side of the fence over the hill. I just wanted to play." He explained, his innocent blue eyes peering up at her, looking between the two cows. Bruno's mother spoke up next, "Well that's fine dear, stay as long as you want. When you want to go back we'll have Drifter escort you back to your mama." She said as she nodded towards a tall Braford bull with a bald face that had an intimidating air about him as his eyes scanned through the herd but hadn't discovered CC yet.
CC swallowed in fear and looked to the two cows, "Thank you." He managed to say before Isabela playfully nudged his shoulder,"Come on CC, let's play!" She said before she took off through the herd and Bruno and CC started after her. CC kept an eye on Drifter, unsure what would happen if Drifter discovered him before Bruno and Isabella's mothers could tell him that CC was here. CC and Bruno chased Isabela around for a bit, play fighting, and chasing the egrets when CC noticed the sun in the sky had moved a fair bit that his mom had to notice he was gone.
"Hey Bruno and Isabela, I think I need to head back home but I can see if I can play again tomorrow?" He said and the two calves nodded,"Alright, see you tomorrow CC!" Isabell and Bruno said cheerfully as he turned away to find Drifter to escort him back to his mom. Drifter was standing in the middle of the herd, talking idly to the cow next to him when CC walked over to him, terrified but trying to not show it. "Excuse me, could you take me back to my mama please?" He asked and Drifter turned his massive head to look at the little colt before him. With a snort as he stared him down, he replied, "Sure, follow me. You're Lady's son right?" He asked as CC fell into step beside him.
"Yes sir." CC replied, his little voice wavering slightly with his nerves as he tried to hold himself together.
"Well then her pasture's on the other side of the fence over here. Come on." Drifter encouraged as he broke into a lope and CC began to run to keep up with him. As they neared his mom's paddock, he saw her standing at the fence, looking worried then angry when he came into view beside Drifter.
"I turn my back for 10 minutes and you slip off into the cattle pasture? You better be glad that Drifter is nice and forgiving of those that come around his herd, any other bull or herd and you could've been trampled." She scolded and CC dropped his head before Drifter stepped in,"Lady please don't scold him, he was playing with Bruno and Isabela and the herd has been keeping watch over him. In fact, if you'll allow it, he's free to come play with the calves anytime."
CC looked up to Drifter, surprised he would allow him over and looked to his mom for a response. She sighed,"Alright, but he won't be returning tomorrow as punishment for leaving without telling me. But thank you for letting him come over." She said before she pushed the board with her hoof and CC dove through the hole in the fence. As Lady's handler started to open the gate and she walked over, CC looked back to Drifter and smiled,"Thank you." He said softly, earning a nod from Drifter before he turned to leave for the herd once more.
