Previously in Chapter 1: Ty just returned from Settle, (he was visiting his cousins). Amy and Ty's relationship is a secret, and only Soraya and Ben know about them.
Amy turned her back to Johnny, lowering her head so that she could only see the curtain of hair that surrounds her face, and her worn shoes. She waited until she heard his hooves pause as he stood behind her. Johnny's muzzle barely touched her shoulder, his hot breath on Amy's shoulder. Amy smiled, slowly lifting her head. "Good job boy." She rubbed Johnny's star that was on his forehead, turned around and walked a few steps and broke into a short jog. Zigzagging, she heard Johnny's breath and his hooves following her. Amy's heart swelled and a smile came on her face. This wasn't the first join-up that Johnny joined with her, but it still felt amazing every time.
Amy stopped and led Johnny to the gate. Opening it, she led Johnny to his stall, checking that there was enough hay and water for the night. Amy walked to Pegasus's pasture, where a human high tree stood in the fading light. Amy rested her forearms on fence. Amy frowned; she knew Ty will ask why they keep their relationship a secret. He didn't like lying to his family or to Amy's family. Amy sighed. She didn't want to tell anyone because… Amy stood up straight. Why didn't want to tell anyone? Was it because she always told people that she and Ty were friends? That she was afraid that people would treat her different because she could maybe she loved Ty? Or was it because…
Amy looked at the sky, why am I scared to tell people that I'm dating someone? It isn't fair to Ty, he wants to tell…but I'm not comfortable with that.
Amy turned and saw Ty waiting by the door. Amy smiled and hurried into his arms. "So, tell me about Settle." Amy looked up at her boyfriend.
Ty chuckled, "Well, it was crowded. Smells like gasoline, and there are a lot of cars."
Amy laughed, and they entered the house where Grandpa's dinner was waiting.
Thanks to Abbi-Rose who beta(ed) this!
