I made a couple changes in names. It might not be exactly like the show but it is based on it. Some characters have different names but are based on people who were in the actual show. I own nothing.

Chapter 1

Amy –

Hey mom, wanna go for a ride?" I asked.

"Sure, just let me finish this paperwork really quick," my mom replied.

"Ok, I'll go get the horses ready." I got out mom's horse Alabama and my horse Wrangler. (Kind of a cheesy name but I like it.) Mom came out and took her horse by the lead rope. We always rode to the same spot together, it was like it was ours. Mom came out and got on her horse and we rode to a trail in the trees. We rode for an hour and then mom started running. I couldn't keep up with her. She disappeared into the trees and the clouds were turning dark.

"Mom?" I was getting worried after a couple of minutes of her being gone.

"Mom," I called

"I'll always be with you. I love you. Don't worry Amy." I could only hear her voice but she was nowhere in sight.

"Amy…Amy…" Someone kept calling my name.

"Amy!" I opened my eyes and sat straight up.

"Amy, you need to get ready. You're going to be late for your bus," Lou said motherly, Lou was my sister.

"I'm up." Lou gave me a something's-not-right look.

"Are you ok? You don't look so good," She poked around.

"I'm fine."

"But you look so pale…and are you crying?" Tears were threatening to spill out but I squeezed them back.

"Lou! I'm fine," I whispered.

"Ok, ok!" She closed the door like she was offended. She was always offended. I kept having that dream, and I didn't get it. She just disappeared. It kept happening after I came home from the hospital. I got out of bed and got into the shower. I stood in the steamy shower wishing I could go back to bed but instead I stepped out and started drying my hair. Before running out the door I quickly put on some mascara. I had to run to catch the bus in time. I stepped in and looked for my best friend Soraya. She was sitting in the fourth seat back.

"Hey," Soraya said all gloomy.

"Hey…what's wrong?" I asked

"My mom is making me work a double shift at the café so I can't go to the party tonight."

"Eh…it's just Ashley. She drives me crazy. I won't go with you."

"You do know that Ben is going to be there, right? Ben Stillman! And you can't stay home just because of me! I won't let you." Soray dreamed about Ben every night, I swear. He was one of the best riders in the circuit.

"Yeah, yeah. He's nice and we're just friends. Besides, I don't really even want to go unless you're going to be there." Soraya just smiled. We reached the school and reluctantly left the bus.

"You know that by the end of the day I will have talked you into going to the party tonight!" Soray just wouldn't give up.

"I don't think that I know that."

"Well I will!" She pointed her finger in my face all excited in my face. I just laughed. She probably would but I wasn't planning on giving up anytime soon. I started to walk to my first class and ran into one of the most popular guys in school.

"Oh, sorry. I didn't see you." I picked up my stuff that had fallen on the floor.

"That's ok. I should've been watching where I was going." He flashed a smile and helped me with my books. His name was Matt, and yeah he was cute. But I didn't want to be with someone that all the girls in school were fighting for.

"Thanks." I took my books from him and headed to class.

"It's Amy right?"

"Yeah."

"So Amy…would you want to come to a party tonight."

"Already going." WAIT! I told Soraya that I wasn't going! Seriously, I don't understand what just happened…

"See ya there!" He did that smile that all the girls seemed to fall for, obviously I was too for some reason, and walked away. I couldn't concentrate at all during school. All I could think of was Roulette. I couldn't get him to calm down, all he did was run around in his pin all day. Roulette was the horse that my mom and I had saved. I was beginning to think that I wasn't going to be able to help him. I couldn't give up though. I had to prove that he was special, and I knew he was.

"Amy…Amy Flemming?" I flashed back into my class. My teacher was talking to me.

"Sorry, what?"

"The question is; Are there any advanced and complex multicellular animals that have chloroplasts inside their bodies or under their skin?"

I hate science. I really, really hate it. Honestly, why do I need to know about advanced and complex multicellular animals? I don't get it. Good thing I studied last night.

"Technically no. Although, there are more complex multicellular animals that will pinch the chloroplasts from plants. Like the freshwater jellyfish; it gets chloroplasts from green algae and keeps it in its stomach." (Totally looked that all up online!) Soraya laughed in surprise. The teacher just stared at me.

"Thank…you," She said in astonishment. I went back to thinking about Roulette for the rest of the day and got away with it.

When I got home I ran to the house. I tried to sneak back out after I put my backpack in my room but Lou, like the motherly sister she was, caught me.

"Did you do your homework?" It was one of those stupid questions that people like Lou asked when they knew the answer but just had to ask to make you feel stupid. I took a breath and went back to my room. I sat down and did the enormous amount of schoolwork that teachers felt necessary to send home after eight hours of school, so you can do some more! My mind wondered as I answered the questions that I didn't understand were relevant. After an hour of this I went back into the living room where Lou was reading her fashion magazine.

"There, I did my homework. Happy?" I asked sarcastically.

"Yep!" She sounded so peppy, it was annoying. I stormed outside and into the barn. I started to do my chores but then looked at Roulette. He looked almost sad, it was like him and I felt the same way but he didn't understand that. I went and got the loping rope and put a halter on him, he was already worked up. After fifteen minutes I finally got him into the pin. I worked him and worked him, for almost 2 hours, but he never could trust me. That's when I lost it.

"Don't you see that I'm hurt too? I lost her! You're still alive! I trust you why can't you just trust me back, we feel the same way! Why can't you just feel that? Why can't you just be my friend?" I yelled at him for several minutes, sometimes asking the same questions. I sat down in the middle of the pin and let go of the rope. Who cared if he walked free, or trampled me for that matter. I put my face in my hands and let the tears stream down my cheeks. I felt something on my shoulder. I looked up slowly, and there was Roulette sniffing my shoulder. I smiled, smiled like I hadn't for a long time. I put my hand under his chin and rubbed the opposite side of his face.

"Thank you." Was all I could whisper. "Thank you." There was a honk from an unfamiliar truck and the moment was over. Roulette started running around the pin again.

"Umph." I got up to go see who it was, meanwhile, Lou was standing on the porch. A single tear ran down her face, she couldn't leave.
