JR and Sue Ellen were out riding over the grass fields at Southfork Ranch. The morning sun was slowly rising beyond the horizon and the morning air was fresh and crisp. As their horses slowed down a little Sue Ellen turned to JR with a smile on her face, “Thanks for joining me this morning. It’s been nice with some company.”
“I’m glad you think so,” JR smiled back. “Just too bad we couldn’t take John Ross with us, I’m sure he would have loved it.”
“No he wouldn’t,” Sue Ellen laughed, “in case you haven’t noticed it yet, our son’s a sleepy head.”
“I’ve noticed it, but I thought it was just jetlag.”
“Well if it was jetlag he’d be more awake in the mornings.”
“Right England’s ahead of us in time,” JR laughed.
“They are,” Sue Ellen confirmed.
“Still to tell you the truth, I am not exactly disappointed to have you all to myself.”
“I bet you aren’t.”
“Sue Ellen I mean it, there’s nothing like watching the sunrise together with someone you really care about.”
“I know and it sure has been a long time since we’ve been out riding like this.”
“Too long,” he said sadly and she nodded in agreement.
“Remember how we used to love it when we were first married?”
“Oh yeah I remember those mornings well,” JR smiled. “We used to ride out to watch the sunrise like this.”
“We did and I used to think that I was the luckiest girl in the world, being married to a man who would inherit all this…”
“Southfork sure is a special place.”
“It really is beautiful out here,” Sue Ellen agreed. “You know being out on the ranch like this has been one of the things I’ve missed the most about Texas when I was in England.”
“I’ve missed you,” he said sincerly, giving her a look that made her feel something familiar stir inside. “Do you remember how you sometimes used to bring a pick-nick basket and we’d have breakfast out in the open nearby the lake?”
“Yeah,” she nodded. “That lake sure was cold to swim in at springtime…”
“I remember, luckily we knew how to get warm afterwards…”
“We did, but that was a long time ago,” she tried to cut him off.
But he won’t have it. “It was, but I miss those days. I mean there’s nothing that beats starting the day with a little love making, especially outdoors…”
Sue Ellen shifted uncomfortably from his words as she remembered it all too well, “Well the things you do when you are young and in love…”
“Are you saying we’re too old to act like that now?”
She knew what he was getting at and a part of her wished that they could go back. Yet she could never let him know that so she quickly changed the subject. "I think we’d better head back to the ranch now, before they start missing us at breakfast…”
“Yeah,” JR reluctantly agreed, “I’m starved,” he smiled at her, before they turned the horses around and started riding back towards the ranch in silence.
I know about www.fanfiction.net already, but unfortunately, so far I haven't been lucky to find good fanfic stuff there! There seems to be a lot of "old" and unfinished fanfics, but maybe I'm not doing a good job at looking in the right places! Could you please share the titles of the three fanfics that you're thinking of?
It's a long fanfic with 137(?) episodes all our favorite characters ... and then some! It does have parts that I'm not particularly in to (especially in the middle), but overall, I really liked it!
Honestly, I really liked Katherine's storyline in "Return to Southfork", @Presea. I was shocked when Katherine fooled Pam (again) not only on the cruise but also when they were both living at their Rebecca's old house in Dallas. All of a sudden, Katherine kidnapped Pam and also came close to killing her. It was a great read, IMO!
JR and Katherine are horrible people for taking Rebecca to see a doctor and for disguising themselves as her parents and for making the doctor draw Rebecca's blood for a paternity test.
:wink@
I'm really excited that episode 7 is finally on the road! 
... ... "Please, don't embarrass me" ... ... Will Miss Ellie catch John Ross and Christopher doing something "bad"? 
I can't wait to find out what it is! :hats:
