So this is an alternate to episode 18 Cooperate Cowgirls. (season two ep. 5). It's the one where Lou's friend's come to the ranch. Ty doesn't see the naked girl and Lou's friends flirt with both Ty and Caleb causing both girls to stake a claim. Then it fast forwards to episode 20 Sweetheart of the Rodeo and continues to the kiss in the rain.

Ty lead the horses through the field. Today was the day that Lou's friends were coming for the dude ranch. She was going crazy and he volunteered to lead the horses to get out of her way.

He smiled as he thought of Amy and their kiss. Where did it leave them?

He arrived back to the barn and began helping Amy with the horses. He kept glancing at her. Should he mention the kiss?

Amy turned to him and smiled.

"They're here." He walked over to where she was and stood next to her. They both peered out the door to see the woman.

Amy began giggling at their boots. "Look at their shoes! They can't ride in those! They look ridiculous."

Ty nudged her. "I think you could pull it off."

She blushed and rolled her eyes.

"You should go grab the truck to drive them."

He nodded and headed house. He felt eyes on him. He tipped his hat at them. He could feel them giving him the once over. Caleb looked at him and nodded.

He got into the truck and so did Caleb. The women followed.

" Lou, I could see why you didn't want to leave. The men here."

Amy stood behind them in shock. These women. They thought her granddad, her father, Ty and Caleb were hot? They were either too old or too young for them. And all the men were in some kind of relationship. Her grandpa and Lisa. Her dad and Callie. Lou and Scott. Ashley was crazy about Caleb. And she and Ty were in the middle of something.

She shook her head. She was jealous.

She headed back to the barn. She needed to work. She had to get her mind off things.

Ty and Caleb's eyes nearly popped out of their head. The women had walked out looking sexy. He and Caleb exchanged looks. They didn't get along normally but wow.

Ty felt guilty. He thought of Amy. She was prettier than any of those girls. He shook his head and Lou told them to get their eyes in the back of their head.

Caleb had to admit the women were hot but Amy and Ashley were beautiful. They were natural cowgirls.

Amy was actually grateful for Ashley's arrival. The two had a sort of friendship since she helped her with Apollo. Amy had spilled and told Ashley about what the women said.

Ashley's eyes were blazing.

"Those cooperate leeches! They have no right. Those cowboys belong to us girls."

Amy nodded.

"But wait… does this mean you and Ty are on again."

Amy shrugged her shoulders. "It's complicated."

They heard the truck arrive and Ashley nudged her.

"We need to show those leeches our southern hospitality."

Ashley walked out and gave them a once over. The women looked at her. Ashley ignored them and pulled on Caleb's arm. She shot Ty a smile.

"Amy is looking for you." Ty walked toward the barn and Amy shushed him as she watched Ashley.

She watched Ashley talk to Caleb and watched him respond. She hoped they got together. She liked Caleb but not in that way.

Lou watched Ashley Stanton practically stake her claim on Caleb.

Ashley ran her fingers up his arm and leaned in close. Caleb leaned in and whispered to her. She grabbed his hat and shot him a smirk. Caleb laughed and grabbed it back.

One of her friends leaned in.

"So, he's taken?" She pouted.

Lou smiled. "I don't know. They have been flirting and everything. They just might make it official soon."

One of the women titled her head and studied Caleb.

Ty wanted to laugh as he watched Ashley stake her claim on Caleb. She was crazy about him. He had to admit they would look good together. Not mention, it would get rid of competition.

He looked at Amy and jerked his head to the tack. She nodded.

He began to work again stealing glances at her.

Amy watched Ashley throw Caleb a smile as she climbed into her car. Caleb walked away smiling.

Amy looked at Lou and her friends and looked them in the eyes.

She and Caleb had to get ready to ride later.

She decided to help Ty with the tack; of course Caleb had to insult his riding skills. Amy threw Caleb a glare. He has handsome and all but Ty still made her heart pound.

They agreed to dinner and Amy hoped that they would be together again.

Amy traced patterns on the wood. Her phone vibrated and she picked it up. It was Lou.

She nodded and then rolled her eyes.

Stupid Cowboy!

She was angry when Soraya told her where Caleb was.

Caleb wasn't reliable. Ty was more reliable than he was!

She told Ty about their change of plans. He was disappointed and she promised him another time. Amy saddled Copper and walked out to find one of the women or 'leeches' as Ashley called them standing too close to Ty.

Amy handed Lou the horse and marched up to them.

The 'leech' was batting her eyelashes at Ty.

She wrapped her arms around Ty's waist and stood on her tiptoes and placed her chin on his shoulder.

"Hey, Cowboy. Sorry to bail on our date."

The 'leech' raised an eyebrow. Ty smiled.

He turned his head slightly to look at her.

They locked eyes and Amy blushed. Ty's eyes were mischievous. He knew she was jealous.

He then turned away from the other woman and placed his hands on her waist.

Amy felt her heart race.

"It's fine, honey. We can reschedule. That way I can brush up on my cooking skills."

Amy nodded and Ty leaned in close then he headed to her ear.

"You are so jealous."

He kissed her neck and then he drew back.

Everyone else looked at them. Amy caught one of the 'leeches' eyes.

Ty removed his hands from her waist and Amy acted quickly.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him close.

Her lips met his and she kissed him softly.

Ty was a bit surprised. He knew she was jealous, but jealous enough to kiss him?

He felt her about to pull away so he pulled her close and kissed her.

They seemed to forget that there were people watching them.

Lou smiled. Jack smiled. The other women just stood with their mouths open.

The two teens pulled away. Ty smiled at Amy and grabbed her hand. They walked to Copper and Ty helped her up. Amy smiled at him and Ty grabbed her hat. He removed his black hat and placed on her head.

He walked back to the barn and turned around to look at Amy. Amy smiled at him from her horse and she took off with the women, Lou, Jack, and Tim.

Lou wanted to scream. Her friends were driving her nuts. They kept asking her about Ty and Amy and if they were serious.

"I don't know! Ask them yourselves!"

"How can't you know?"

"Because I don't dig into my sister and stable hands' lives."

Lou took a deep breath and her friends fell silent.

Lou had never been so glad that the retreat was over. It was a success but it brought harsh truths to the surface. Even though things worked out, it still was hard on everyone.

Lou knew she needed to talk to her friends so she went to see them. She told them about her fears and they all talked it out. At the end, she knew that these girls were her friends for life.

Amy couldn't believe that Spartan had eaten poisoned grasses. Mallorie had ran outside to tell her what had happened and how Ty had saved him.

Amy ran into the barn. Her eyes narrowed as she saw Ty and this girl. The girl was leaning into him and laughing. She was smiling.

Ty noticed her and walked away from the girl.

"Amy!"

Amy ran to him and threw her arms around him and kissed him.

Ty lifted her into the air and kissed her back.

Mallorie gasped and Caleb who had just walked in covered her eyes. His eyes met his friend's Kit. He shrugged.

He now realized that nothing would break them. They were meant for each other. And even if he and Amy got together, it would always be Ty she loved.

He smiled. It took a real cowboy to get a cowgirl.

Ty really was a cowboy.

The couple broke apart and Ty set her down gently. Amy hugged him tightly and whispered to him "Thank you."

Ty hugged her back then kissed her nose.

He then grabbed her hand and Amy laughed. She removed his hat and then removed her hat. She switched them and now she had on her white hat and Ty had his black hat again.

Ty tipped his hat to Kit, Caleb, and Mallorie. Amy smiled and blushed and they walked outside.

Kit raised an eyebrow. Caleb shook his head, giving her a look.

Mallorie just squealed and began going on and on about Amy and Ty's wedding.

Amy gasped as she saw Ty on the mechanical bull. When he fell, her heart almost exploded.

"Ty!" She ran to help him up, ignoring everyone.

She led him to a bench.

"What was that about?"

Ty kissed her forehead.

"Just wanted to try it."

Ty shook his head as Amy went on and about cattle roping.

So when Caleb bailed on her, he was upset.

He went to yell at Caleb.

It didn't surprise him when a day later, Caleb told her that he signed them up.

Amy squealed and hugged him and he sent Caleb a nod.

He had no idea why he did it. What possessed him to even think of bull riding? But it gave him such a rush that he actually loved it.

Even though he didn't get a medal he was so happy. Getting Jack and Tim's approval was even better. But seeing Amy's face made him realize what a mistake it was.

Amy rushed to where Ty was.

"Ty! What the hell where you thinking!"

She hit his shoulder. Ty grabbed her hand and pulled her in for a hug. Her shoulders began to shake and he kissed her hair.

"Shh. I'm here. It's alright."

Ty felt like a jerk. He remembered Amy once telling him how her dad got injured in a bull riding. He hugged her tightly and felt her ease up.

She drew back and Ty wiped her tears away. He wrapped an arm around her waist and they walked off.

Ty smiled when he saw Amy getting a drink.

"Amy!" He walked to her but she said nothing

"Hey."

Ty stood next to her.

Amy took a deep breath. "You know you didn't have to ride that bull to impress me, right?"

"I know. I don't know why I did it. I just saw the bull and I wanted to do it."

Amy looked at him and touched his cheek.

"You didn't need to get my dad or Granddad's approval, you know. They like you."

Ty kissed her forehead. "I'm stupid."

Amy laughed and placed her head on his shoulder.

They ordered some drinks and talked for a bit.

A slow song came on a while later and Ty pulled Amy to the dance floor.

He placed his hands on her waist and she wrapped her arms around his neck. They looked into each other's eyes and smiled.

They started whispering to each other. Just stuff. Horses. How their day was. Anything.

People at the party smiled watching the couple. They looked to be in love.

The slow song came to an end, but Ty and Amy didn't notice. They were in their own world dancing in a corner.

They continued to dance until a loud yell came. It was Ashley and Caleb. Suddenly Ashley ran out. Amy ran out after her. Ty went to find Caleb.

Ty felt his heart jump when he saw Ashley's car on the side of the road.

He was glad Kit was with him. He and Caleb took after the girls. Caleb was with Soraya on a different road, and Kit came with him.

Kit placed an arm on him.

"Ty. Ty! She's okay."

Ty released a breath when he saw her get out of the car. He jumped out of the car and Amy ran to him.

She threw her arms around his neck and she began to weep. Ty nuzzled her hair letting a few tears escape.

"I was so scared." He whispered.

Amy pulled away and Ty took off his jacket and placed it around her shoulders.

Kit walked over to them with her arm around Ashley.

"I called Caleb. He will be here… now."

Caleb's car came up and he jumped out of the car.

He ran to Ashley and kissed her.

Then he drew back and wrapped his arms around her.

"I was so worried."

Amy smiled. Her friend got her happy ever after. She just needed Apollo back.

Soraya and Kit looked at each other and placed their hands out.

"Keys."

Ty and Caleb looked at them.

"What?"

"Keys. You are in no condition to drive."

"How will you get home?"

Kit shrugged. "My dad drove me there. Caleb was supposed to bring me home."

"My mom took me. We can just call our folks and say we are spending the night."

Amy cleared her throat.

"Where? Ashley is drunk. You and Kit need a place to stay. Caleb won't want to leave Ashley's side."

Soraya rolled her eyes. " Hello. You have cabins. The dude ranch."

The boys nodded and they made the phone calls to the parents.

Then Soraya volunteered to drive Ashley and Caleb and Kit took Ty and Amy.

They arrived at Heartland about 20 minutes later.

Amy snuck in and grabbed some clothes for the girls to change into to.

They headed to the cabins.

They all stopped once they reached them.

"Two to a cabin?"

They all nodded and just stood there awkwardly trying to figure out the sleeping arrangements.

Then Ashley vomited. Caleb rushed her to the outhouse.

"I'll stay with her." He said when he got back. He gently picked her up and carried her into a cabin.

Soraya and Kit took a cabin, leaving Ty and Amy.

Amy lay down on bed and bit her lip.

Ty looked at her.

"Could you hold me?"

Ty nodded and crawled in next to her wrapping his arms around her.

Amy buried her head into the crook on his neck and closed her eyes.

Ty kissed her head and closed his eyes, falling asleep to his beautiful girlfriend.

Ty couldn't believe that his sorry excuse for a father showed up with several sick horses.

He glared at him as Jack grabbed his gun to put the poor horse out of her misery.

He wrapped his arms around Amy and held her tight. She shook and the gun went off and began to cry.

He would never forgive that man.

Ty stared at his girlfriend in shock as she petted Apollo. Caleb went to call his girlfriend to tell her.

He knew that Lou would want money to buy the horses. He only had 400 saved up. He wanted to help, but he wanted to get Amy something pretty.

He offered Lou the money and she refused.

Ty laughed as Ashley threw water at him.

He couldn't believe what he and Caleb started. They were arguing in a playful way and Amy sprayed them with the hose.

He chased her and she sprayed him.

It became a one for all water battle.

Occasionally, they would partner up and take down someone. Ashley and Amy got Caleb. He got Ashley so Caleb got him back. Then they dumped Mallorie in the water trough. It was a perfect way to cool down.

Of course, after all of that, he and Caleb couldn't resist showing off to their girlfriends by removing their wet shirts.

He watched his dad drive away. He knew it he wouldn't stay.

Amy joined in a while later. They sat in silence and later fell asleep.

When he found out the money was missing, it hit in the heart. They didn't blame him but he blamed himself. He tried to tell Amy and she kissed him to shut him up.

He wasn't sure how but Lou's plan worked. They saved the horses and Ashley was really happy. So was Amy.

Everything was perfect. All they needed was for it to cool down.

Ty and Amy were in the barn looking at all their horses. They smiled at each other as they worked.

They chatted and laughed.

Suddenly, they heard something and ran to the barn door.

They both gasped.

"Is that…"

"RAIN!"

They ran out and stood in the rain. Amy lifted her arms and spun around. Ty laughed and then walked up to her and bowed.

"Dance with me?"

Amy laughed and took his hand.

He spun her around and dipped her and did all the sweet stuff. They danced in the rain. One cowboy and one cowgirl dancing in the rain was something they never saw before.

Ty looked at Amy and then stopped dancing. She opened her mouth and Ty leaned in and kissed her.

His hands went to her waist and hers to his hair. It didn't matter that they were wet or that a lot of people saw them. Nothing matter to them.

All that matter was that they were with each other.

Ty drew back.

"Wait. Amy."

Amy looked at him.

"I love you."

Amy smiled.

"I love you too."

They kissed again .

It didn't matter that the next day, they would probably wake up with colds.

All that matter was that they loved each other.

Jack smiled to himself.

"Heartland worked it's magic. It just doesn't always work on horses."

Lou looked at her Granddad.

"Did you say something?"

He nodded.

"I'm not waiting on them hand and foot when they both wake up with colds."

Lou rolled her eyes and watched her sister. She was happy.

Amy closed her eyes and she and Ty went to sleep. It became a tradition. She would sneak past the rooster and then crawl into bed. Granddad never said anything, even though he knew.

Caleb, Ashley, Soraya, Kit, Mallorie, and Jake looked at each other.

They had all been called in to work. Amy and Ty had both come down with colds.

They were taking turns checking on the couple and the horses.

They all shook their heads. There was a lot of work. They had no idea how Amy and Ty did it.

Ty kissed his girlfriend's head and she slept. He couldn't think of a better thing. Only thing that would be better would be if they weren't both sick. But at least, he got to spend the day relaxing with his girlfriend.

He closed his eyes and drifted to sleep with the girl he loved in his arms.
