Cat, why do you keep drawing Harley and Amalie? Because they're so darn cute and it's beautiful!! 

Unfortunately I drew this with absolutely no concept of timeline. So, basically, this isn't in any kind of chronological order. Just takes part after these two start going out (obviously) while they're at FHF.

Cowboy

Amalie was not one to sit around idle, even when she was technically on holiday to visit her boyfriend. She made herself useful around the farm, helping out where she was needed if she was able. This didn't mean she was all work and no play, Harley after all had every intention of enjoying their time together as it tended to be more limited than they both would like. 

He suggested they go out a trek together, a suggestion Amalie eagerly accepted, and so off they went, Amalie on Beer, a handsome chestnut, and Harley on Naughty. Harley had worn a Stetson, much to Amalie's delight, and had then proceeded to belt out an extremely edited version of 'Heads Carolina, Tails California'. Amalie of course nearly fell from the saddle laughing and Harley looked insufferably pleased with himself. Amalie couldn't resist teasing him and gave him the new nickname of 'Cowboy' for his endeavours. 

Their little outing turned into a full-fledged date after Amalie confessed she'd never seen fireflies even though she'd travelled all over the world. Harley then insisted on showing her a spot they tended to frequent which led Amalie to start singing 'Cowboy Take Me Away', the sight of his British girlfriend singing a Dixie Chicks song was both impressive and utterly hilarious. However, proof that Harley was as much a romantic as Amalie came once they'd actually arrived, the two horses were safely back at the farm, Naughty was happily grazing with Beer after their walk - nearby Dragon who was dozing in content by the fence, chin resting on the wood (something Amalie may have taken a picture of to send to Ben). 

It was cheesy and cliché and was usually a total mood killer when it wasn't done right but it fit them. Amalie had been recording the fireflies - because why wouldn't you record memories on your phone in the 21st century, what are you a a 70's kid? - when Harley started humming 'Heartbeat', or an attempt at it; Carrie Underwood's vocal range is difficult for other woman to replicate, kudos to Harley for making it recognisable. It was sweet and endearing and, ending her recording, Amalie joined in. 

Of course it wasn't perfect. They weren't in some Pixar movie fan fiction where everything was just right and their voices were in perfect sync with the musical skill of angels enabling them to hit every note, no, they didn't even get through the whole song. Notes were off key, tune and tempo were off kilter and they fumbled about with the lyrics, each singing different ones before stopping, looking at each other before chuckling and picking up where they left off. There was no gentle lighting pretending to be natural, there was no glorious full moon and there was no convenient trees adorned with working adaptations of Christmas lights, there was only a gloomy, yet somehow comforting, twilight with the odd firefly eerily floating around but, there was one very special fact; this was a moment reserved just for them, a memory only the two of them would share and it made it all the more special. 

There were plenty of other bugs around, however, and, although she wouldn't have changed a thing, the other, less 'glowy', bugs drove Amalie to convince Harley to head back. Torch in hand he lead her back, teasing her about being squeamish over bugs every time she let out a tiny squeak when a moth or mosquito appeared at her head or in the torch light. She combated this with reminding Harley that he had squealed like a girl when he was attacked by a midge hoard back in Scotland, prompting him to quote Scott's ever quotable phrase of "we do not speak of the midge hoard." They both dissolved into giggles as they headed back to the farm.
