Does Jason have what it takes to belong? And will Fly ever find a home.

AN: There's also some changes around the farm you'll find them out throughout the story.

Prologue

Yesterday

Ty sat in the audience with Scott, Lou, baby Marion and Jack waiting for the graduation to begin. He tugged at his tie a little. He hated wearing ties but he'd wanted to look extra special for Amy's big day. He smiled as he thought about his girlfriend returning to Heartland while she awaited acceptance from vet school. She had excelled in college, teaching even those at Chestnut Hill, the boarding school Virginia Tech worked with, the Heartland technique. He was sure he could see some of the Chestnut Hill girls there. Suddenly the graduation song began and Ty looked to the field where the class was beginning to make it's way to their seats. This graduation was just like any other and soon it was over. Oh the past four years had not been easy. Ty and Amy had had their ups and downs but things were better now that she was coming home. Oh she was coming home!

Chapter One

Amy opened her eyes and stretched, it was early she knew it was but she also knew that she was back at Heartland and feeding had to be done. In the four years since she'd been in college there was a huge new change in Heartland. The pasture land they'd tried to buy several years ago had come back up for sale and they'd bought it. It was now the home of their arenas, and the old arena now had a barn sitting where it once sat. The old stable block was renovated and now had three more stalls on it, it had become the home of the permanent residents. Slipping out of bed she put on a pair of jeans and t-shirt. Downstairs she put on her boots and stepped outside. She saw that Ty's truck was already there causing her heart to skip a beat as she headed to the stable block. She could Spindleberry's head sticking over his stall door nickering when he saw Amy. The now five year old gelding had grown into a beautiful horse. He had grown more then Amy had thought he would and stood about fifteen and a half hands. Beside him Sundance's head poked out and the pony's ears laid back at Spindle. Jigsaw and Jasmine also looked out from their stalls. She sighed happily as she patted each horse on the nose as she passed on the way to the feed room. Inside she found Ty filling hay nets and whistling. With a wicked grin she stepped up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist. She felt him jump at her touch and he quickly turned to see her. His eyes were twinkling and his arms were soon around her. "Hey, Amy," he whispered lowering his lips to meet hers in an earth shattering kiss.

"Hey." She said back after the kiss ended. She stepped back and turned to work mode. "What's left to do?"

"Feed and water the stable block, all the stalls and the rest of the hay nets," he responded with a shrug. "We have another new horse that we rescued last week. And a new stable hand, Jason. He'll start work at noon today."

She was interested. She knew they could use the help and any new person at the farm was always welcome as part of the Heartland family. "What's he like?" She asked him curiously.

"He's a bit different but he'll work." Ty said slowly as he lifted the feed buckets for the stable block. With a shrug she worked in the feed room finishing the last of the hay nets and then taking them and hanging them in each stall.

ok this is just a preview of it. If you like it let me know and I'll continue with chapter one. Thanks!
