Official Rules: The Dude Ranch Challenge

This part should be called the many loves of Rose. Because it seems like after Rose's Harvestfest gatherng, she had no shortage of invites from those Ranch Hands. And they all seemed to be in love with her.

In fact, Rider Miles even called to tell her that he had a crush on her.

But before Rider could even think of asking Rose on a date...boom! Cole stepped in and asked her out.

Rose declined, but then asked Cole on a date to the Oak Barrel, which was the local bar in town.

They seemed to be having a good time, and Rose even had her first kiss with him.

After a legendary date, they headed back to Rose's house, but when the topic of marriage came up, Cole didn't seem very agreeable to the notion of marrying Rose. :(

Well, Hosa must have heard about Cole's date and Rider's crush at the house, and decided to step up his game.

Rose again declined, and instead asked Hosa on a date to the Rusty Horsehoe, which was a nightclub in town.

On the date, poor Rose had a bladder failure and peed herself. Ugh! How embarrasing! I thought they were doomed for sure, but then Hosa autonomously came into the restroom to see if Rose was alright and told her everything was fine. Awww sweet.

After that, their date went rather well, and Hosa and Rose shared their first kiss together.

Rose then talked about marriage to Hosa, and he didn't seem to flinch like Cole did. Just the opposite. It looks like he is thinking that spending a lifetime with Rose would be the most wonderful thing in the world. This must be love because Hosa is looking adoringly at Rose even though she has that green stench about her. It was a legendary date, even with the bladder failure.

When Rose arrived home, guess who came for a visit? It was Cole! Jealous much? lol

The next day, not to be outdone by Cole and Hosa, Rider called Rose. Rose declined but invited him to hang out at her lot instead.

Rider was in a flirty mood, so Rose asked Rider on a date to the Oak Barrel.

Even though it was a legendary date, there was no option for a "First Kiss" with Rider. Maybe they were just meant to be friends.

I was so hoping that one of the Ranch Hands would autonomously come over to Rose's house and want to "take things to the next level" and ask Rose to be his girlfriend, but it never happened. Oh sure, she had many outing requests from all the Ranch Hands, but not one of them took the next step.

Until things suddenly changed, and Rose had a new Ranch Hand helping on her ranch.

And Ren seems pretty smitten with Rose.

https://i.postimg.cc/PqLNTwTQ/suddenly-there-was-a-new-ranch-hand-in-town.png

Maybe Cole and Hosa heard about the new Ranch Hand, and suddenly Rose was bombarded with calls from Cole and Hosa. She knows they both have feelings for her, and Cole seems to be calling her the most, so Rose gives him a second chance, and invites him to hang-out at her lot, and again talks about marriage with Cole.

And it's the same response as before. Even though he doesn't have the non-committal trait, he just doesn't seem to want to get married.

And so Rose decides to take matters into her own hands. It's Night on the Town Night, and she invites Hosa on a second date. (They actually head to the Old Quarter Inn Bar in Windenburg for a change).

And by the look on their faces, it looks like Hosa is indeed "the one". No bladder failure this time for Rose, and another legendary date.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The next day, Rose invites Hosa over and proposes to him. He accepts! Yes!

https://i.postimg.cc/GtSGX1Qc/rose-proposes.png

And they both get the Deeply in Love sentiments! Most definitely, Hosa was "the one" all along! And now they have a wedding to plan.

Rose is engaged to be married to Hosa Swiftwater. Currently, there are 7 in her household, (including herself. She has her original stallion and mare, Chicory and Blaze, Endeavor (the new mare), two foals, Smoky and Chance, and Biscuit (who just aged up). Biscuit and Endeavor will be leaving soon, so that there will be room for Hosa and Rose's heir/heiress.
