The open field looked like something out of a vacation pamphlet. The grass was perfectly cut and painted for the occasion, the freshly potted flowers blew in the breeze, the tents were set up in a comfortably cool area, though there was plenty of sun if the patrons wished for it and the high payers of the market were already chatting happily amongst themselves. Several approached the young woman in the cream and gold dress.

"Excellent presentation, Excella," one of them said. "I must say you have done quite well by your sponsors."

Excella smiled, waving a hand. "Of course, dear, but money is nothing without a creative hand to guide it.

"I am quite looking forward to seeing today's display," another woman said, approaching Excella, a glass of champagne in her hand. "From what I know, these breads of yours are quite the show."

"They shall amaze, I assure you," Excella smiled, glancing over her shoulder. "Ah, Albert!"

The three in the party turned to the finely suited gentleman walking in. All black, as usual. Excella rolled her eyes. For all his resources, Albert did need to look into better tailoring.

"How wonderful you should join us," Excella said, grabbing the man's arm. She though she saw a faint twinge of red behind the man's ever present dark sunglasses, but paid it no heed. "Champagne?"

"No, Thank you," he said. He turned to the couple beside her. "You'll pardon my tartiness, I was detained at a meeting this morning." He checked his watch. "And currently, I am running late."

"Always on the move, Mr. Wesker?" The woman smiled at him, overly white teeth gleaming. They matched her false pearls perfectly, Wesker thought.

"Always making preparations, My Lady," Wesker gave his best false smile. "Is the demonstration to start soon?"

"I should think so," Excella said, glancing at the time on her phone. "I know I-"

The sound of a trumpet pulled the crowd's attention over to the field. Several of them picked up a few more appetizers and another glass of champagne before taking their seats. Some pulled out note pads, ready to make note of every detail.

At that moment, two riders on horseback entered the ring. The first of them, dressed in red and white, her brown hair pulled back in a braid, approached the crowd on the back of a brown and white mare. The other, a blonde-haired young woman in green and brown, sporting a skirt while her companion wore pants, entered on the back of a brown stallion, who's coat seemed to give off a green sheen in the sunlight. She came beside her partner and the two young women saluted the guests, their horses bowing in time.

The guests clapped. It wasn't anything they hadn't seen before, but presentation was always awarded points.

Then, it seemed, there was nothing of them except blurs.

The white and red rider, took off, having her horse jump over several high bars in quick succession, each one ranging in size. The horse did not knock over a single one! Indeed, she seemed to collect herself so quickly and move on to the second jump, it almost seem to bore her! The red and white rider turned her carefully, making sure the glamourous mare weaved through the cut grass as gracefully as possible. It did not take more than a single, slight nudge of her knee for the horse to obey.

On the other half of the lawn, the scenery seemed to glisten with green. The green and brown rider carefully maneuvered her horse so that its every action, even at high speeds, made it as graceful as a life-long dancer. The Stallion radiated dignity and control, stepping quickly and carefully without a pause as his rider moved in careful synchronization with him.

The audience watched in awe, applauding at each stunning display, but it was not until Wesker himself began to clap that the whole audience seemed to roar and cheer with delight, which, to their apparent joy, the horses did not spook at all.

Only once did the riders dismount. Once to change horses so the white and red rider could display jumping on the stallion while the green and brown rider displayed several acts of Dressage on the mare. Though they were not as impressive as the red and white rider, they still showed a great deal of discipline on the horse's behalf.

Eventually, both riders remounted their horses and rode in synchronization with one another, even weaving in carefully between each other, still still maintaing distance and elegance. The audience roared with delight, several running over to congratulate Excella, other's calling colleagues to let them know where their "funds" should be placed on next years Olympics.

At a carefully placed finish, the two riders and their horses bowed to each other, before bowing to the audience and saluting Excella and Albert Wesker respectfully. Several audience members threw flowers, but the ladies did not go to collect them. Instead, they gave a final bow and lead their horses back to the stable gates.

"Well," Victoria said, giving Umbrella a good pat on the neck. "They seemed to enjoy that."

"A little too much," Katie added. She dismounted Ndipaya and lead him over to the water trough. "I thought some of them were going to have a heart attack."

"Excella looked pleased," Victoria brought Umbrella over for a drink as well. "She'll get the sponsors she wants for the games, for sure. And with her luck, some free advertisements too."

"Who was that guy she was with?" Katie asked, unbuttoning her helmet. She pulled an apple from her pocket, offering it to Ndipaya once he'd finished drinking. The stallion stared at her intensely for a moment, before accepting it.

"Never seen him before. Was he with anyone else?"

"Nope, but Excella seemed pretty friendly with him."

Victoria gave a smirk. "Could you tell if he responded?"

"Nothing," Katie's smile soon faded though. "I don't know, the guy seemed… strange. And not in the good way, either."

"Think he'll sponsor?"

"Oh, he'll sponsor you, for sure."

Victoria paused, blinking as she let the thought run through her mind. "What?"

"Yeah," Katie nodded, leading Ndipaya after another long, satisfying drink. "During the finish. He didn't take his eyes off you for a second! Let me know if Excella calls anytime soon!"

"Sure…" Victoria mused, pausing a moment to think about the blonde haired man. She felt Umbrella nudge her shoulder, questioning her silence. Victoria rubbed her horse's mane.

"Nothing, girl. I'm fine." She gave pat. "I'm fine…"

"I hope."
