Chapter 2
The two gunslingers were both riding their fastest, but there was no real knowing who was in the lead. One moment James was an inch in front of Tom, then in the next Tom took the lead by an inch. In such a manner they rode side by side for at least 50 miles, until both horses got tired and slowed down tremendously, eventually coming to a clumsy walk.
“Safe to say the horses are equal. We, however, are not,” James mocked Tom as he had to fix his Stetson.
“Ha-ha,” he gave him a dead serious look from under his hat.
“Look on the bright side, kid. At least you didn’t lose it,” James was enjoying himself. The two were very competitive by nature, and James wouldn’t let his victory run silent. “You’d be risking a damn serious sunburn then. Unless you’d wear your underwear on your head instead,” James laughed out loud again.
“Is it really so important to you that you won? You want me to say that you’re better, don’t you?” Tom tried to make himself the victim, but they both knew had the situation been reversed, Tom would also have made a big deal out of his victory. “Fine. You’re better.”
“Now, now, that doesn’t count. Say it like you mean it. Look me in the eye and say it.” James was enjoying himself a little too much.

I might include a link identical to the one Chapter 2 will have once it gets published... And hope that works. :p
