A/N-Som this is another Heartland story for after the latest book Beyond The Horizon. It will no way be beter than Come Home Running. But I am going to go in a different direction with this story. I'm not going to say if it is a Ty/Amy or a Will/Amy or what. Becasue I'm just writing. I don't really have a plan for it. Well, I kinda do, but not really.

Summary:

This starts out on Amy's last day of college her Freshman year. And it is going all the way through the summer until she goes back to school. When she comes home she realizes everything is different. All new horses, and she has t get use to teh fact that she isn't the only one Sundance puts up with anymore. She must get use to the new people and everything. How will she handle it all?

Discalimer: I do not own any thing that you recognize, though I did make up some of the horses. Anything you recognize belongs to Lauren Brooke.

Chapter 1:

Amy Fleming's alarm clock went of at six a.m. like every other morning. Reluctantly she slamed her hand down on the off button. Amy rose in her bed and looked around. Her room was all packed up in boxes. She slowly got out of bed and went into the bathroom. She jumped in and turned really cold water to wake her up. She quickly washed her hair and body. She then shaved her long legs and got out. She rapped herself in a fluffy white towel she had set on the counter last night, along with an outift for her to wear today. She towel dryed her hair and slipped on a pair of white burmuda shorts with lime green and pink stipes on it. She then layed her a pink white beater over top of a green one. She blow bryed her hair and put it into a pony tail. She then slipped on her pink flip-flops. She looked into the mirror. All that was left was to apply some makeup. So she put in some mascara, blush, and lip gloss. Once she was done she headed down to breakfast.

"Hey Ames, are you all packed up to leave in the morning?" her friend Katie said as she sat down in the chair beside her at one of the tables in the cafeteria.

"Yeah, I think so. Your leaving today right?" Amy asked she swallowed down some of her cold waffles.

"Yeah, right after lunch. My parents will be here around two. I can't wait to see my baby again!" she said excited. Her 'baby' as she said it was her horse back at home. She had a beautiful black quarter horse stallion. She loved that horse.

"I bet. I can't wait to see Sunny and Spindle. I'm starting on Spindle's trainin the day after I get back," I pointed out gulping down my chocolate milk.

"Sounds like fun. Look, I got to go get some things done in the barn. I'll meet you there right?" she asked getting up with her half eaten tray.

"Yep. I just have to go get some things from proffesors to do over the summer. But then I'll be there," getting up after her and going the opposite direction.

------------------------------------------------------

After Amy had gotten her fourth assignment for summer vacation she went up to her dorm. She saw her room-mate India packing some final things.

"Oh Amy, I'm going to miss you so much!" her friend said coming and giving her a hug.

"I know. I'm going to miss you like crazy also!" Amy said hugging her back.

"Now, your goig to call me and write, right?" India said pulling her red curly hair into a ponytail.

"Yes, your going to do the same?" Amy asked going towards her and standing next to her looking at her reflection in the mirror.

"Of course. Well, this is it. I'm leaving!" India said with tears coming out of her eyes. She gave Amy a final hug and grabbed three bags and headed out of the door. Amy looked around the half empty room.

"Well, I'm by myself now," Amy said before walking out of the door.

-----------------------------------------------------------

"Took you long enough!" Katie said coming out of Sarah's stall. Sarah was a chesnut Warmblood who fell at a jump and cut up of her legs. She was almost fully recoverd.

"I had to go see off my room-mate. Sorry it took so long," Amy said stroking Ashia's muzzle.

"It's okay. When I got here all of the feeds were done. And it's your day to bring up Spider," Katie pointed out slipping Liver, a liver chesnut gelding, to the cross toes to groom him.

"Unfortunatly," Amy said rolling her eyes. Spider stayed during the school year because he was one of the professor's horses. The blue roan was one of the most stubborn horses at the barn. It took forever to catch him. Amy walked down to the pasture with a lead rope behind her back. She walked into the pasture and looked at Spider, who was the only horse in teh pasture. Amy slowly made her way to the horse. She held out her hand for the gelding to sniff. Amy stroked his forehead before quickly clipping on the lead rope. Spider tryed to pull away, Amy quickly tightened her grip on the lead rope and stroked his neck. She then led him for the barn.

When Amy arived back at the barn she saw the back of Will's head.

"Hey Will," Amy said placing Spider in his stall.

"Hey Amy!" Will said coming up to her. "So, are you all set for going back to Heartland?" he asked her stroking Spider.

"Yep I can't wait so see Lou, Scott, and I finally get to see Holly!" Amy said excited. Holly was just born about a week ago. Amy was in class and couldn't answer her cell to tell her about Lou going into labor, so by the time she could call back, Holly was already born.

"I bet you can't Aunt Amy" Will joked.

"Yeah. And I get to see Spindle, Sunny, and...Ty," Amy hesitated as she looked down at the ring Ty had given her. She really missed him, but she knew breaking up with him was for the better. Though, with all her heart, she knew she still loved him.

"Are you still coming out to Arizona this summer?" Will asked.

"Yeah, I can't wait to see Loup again. I talked to Fallon last week. She said he was doing amazing. Are you still going?"

"Yep! I can't wait ether. I haven't talked to anyone but Hank. And he said that Loup was doing great too," Will said.

"Well, I better get back to Ashia, her owner are going to be here within the hour," Amy said and walked off towards Ashia's stall. There she groomed her, placed wrappes on her, and put a blanket on her. And just as she was finishing, her owners, Mr. and Mrs. Calton walked in the barn.

"She looks great," Mrs. Calton said strokig the mare.

"She is doing great. Are you ready for me to load her up?" Amy asked as she looked at the mare. Amy had gotten close to the mare when she had gotten colic. Amy slept in her stall a few night, she really was going miss Ashia.

"Yes. She is ready to go to her new home!" Mr. Calton said.

"What?" Amy asked.

"Yes, we are selling her. We cant use her anymore, and all of our horses have to make there keep. We will have to re-train her for show jumping. We just don't have the time or energy for it. So, we decided to sell her," Annie Calton said.

"Wow, well you could send her to Heartland. We could do a lot with her," Amy said not wanting Ashia to be sold to complete strangers. Ashia was one fo those horses who had to trust before they would do what someone said.

"Well, we aren't going to be able to compete with her becasue our daughter has found her a new horse. But thanks for the offer. If you wanted to buy her you could," Annie said as Amy walked Ashia up the ramp.

"I would love too," Amy said. She hugged the mare and tried to keep tears from coming. "I'm going to miss you girl. I reall wish I could buy you!" Amy said looking at the mare.

"Thank You for everything!"Mr. Calton said as Amy closed the trailer and watched them get into the truck.

"Your welcome. Bye!" Amy called after them with tears falling from her eyes.

"Come here Amy," Will said coming up behind her and giving her a hug.

"Thanks," Amy said once she quit crying. She sad good-bye to everyone in the barn and left to go to her dorm.
