Belated Arival. *open, yup*

[Cash Walker]

He had missed the original departure day. Oops. It had been pretty crazy on the ranch when he was supposed to leave, and then there was a shut down at the only airport within a day's drive. Hey, it was worth it. Cash had been there to foal two mares and help dozens of calves into the world as well.

He was still wearing his cowboy boots, jeans, and a plaid button down as he made his way on to the train. His fringed messenger bag bumped against his side as he moved onto the nearly deserted train.

Cracking the cover of a worn copy of Mrs. Frisbe and the Rats of NIMH he settled in for the ride.

[Tucker Williams]

Tucker stretched his arms and woke up to find himself on the Hogwarts express. His inital reaction was that he had slept through an entire semester of school. But further assessment reminded him that he had snuck out of the castle and had wondered his way through the little village of Hogsmeade and has crashed on the seat of the train.

"Oops," Tucker said. Guess he wasn't going to class today. He looked out the window. They were going north, it must be heading back to the castle. "Wonder if there's a candy trolly?" he said alloud. Tucker walked out of his compartment and walked down the narrow hallway of the train. He thought for a while that he was all alone until he saw a kid in cowboy boots with a nose in a book. Tucker opened the door and sat in the seat across from him.

"What's up?" Tucker said with a grin, glad that maybe he had found someone to adventure with.
