This is a story based on Dirty Dancing mixed with a little from Road House and a bit from Gilmore Girls with a cowboy theme and some of my own mind, though some bits (especially most horses) come from my real life (past and present). So I do not own anything that is related to the movies/series except for that from my own mind and life.

I do hope you enjoy the story and leave a review if you feel like writing one.
P.S.: My English is still not the best since I'm not native in English so please bare with me on some mistakes I made.

Thanks and enjoy.

Chapter 1

"Baby sit straight." Marge said as she was watching her daughter nearly laying down on her chair while reading Harry Potter.
"I would like to relax a bit." Baby said as she looked at her mother just a bit over her book.
"I can't imagine that sits comfortable." Marge said, but she did smile a bit at her daughter.
"When do you depart to Kellerman's?" Marge asked.
"Tomorrow afternoon. I need to be there before five in the afternoon. I will get introductions and all, at least I think." Baby said with a smile.
"So, you're going to be in the IT team and the entertainment staff?" Lisa asked when she came inside the living room. Baby only gave her a glare for one moment.
"What sort of entertainment you need to do?" Marge asked.
"I don't know, maybe doing games or so. I work like six hours on the IT and in the evenings, I need to entertain the guests for like an hour or two. At least it keeps me busy I think." Baby said.

She tries to read again but felt like being disturbed constantly. She closed the book and laid it on the table. That moment Jake came inside.

"Hello ladies, you had a good day?" Jake asked, and Marge went to him to give him a kiss. He smiles and looks at his daughters.
"You're ready for the new job Baby?" Jake asked, laying his bag down and taking his jacket off.
"Yeah, I'm totally packed. My suitcases are in the car already, I just need to get a shower and food before I depart." Baby said with a smile, she hugged her father and he gave her a kiss on her head.
"You do know that you don't have to do this Baby?" Lisa asked.

Baby watched her doing her nails. Looking totally dressed up, a lot of makeup on her face and her hair wrapped up in a towel.

"I want to make a life of my own Lisa, it's better than staying at home and living off your parent's money." Baby said and took her book while standing up.
"Baby, where are you going?" Marge asked.
"Upstairs, where I have a little peace." Baby said.
"What about dinner?" Marge asked, as she looks at the salad she had made.
"I will get something else. Not really in the mood for healthy food." Baby said.

She walked upstairs to her room. She sat behind her computer and started the game she used to play a lot. She took her phone and dialed the pizzeria.

"Can I have a pizza Hawaii with extra cheese and garlic sauce?" Baby asked.
"Yeah, Downstreet. Number twenty." Baby said.
"Thanks, bye." Baby said.

She ends the call and lays her phone on her desk. She looks at her screen, giving a little sigh, she wasn't really feeling like gaming. The weather is becoming really good and outside was so much nicer than inside.

"Nah, I'm gonna watch a movie." Baby said to herself.
"Pride and Prejudice, where are you my love?" Baby asked herself.

She looks in her closet for the DVD. There was a knock on the door after about ten minutes of searching for the damn DVD.

"Enter." Baby said, putting the DVDs back in the closet.
"You ordered a pizza?" Jake asked, smiling as he came inside with the pizza.
"Thanks dad, what do you owe me?" Baby asked.
"This one is on me Baby because it will be a while before you get back. I brought you a bottle of coke too." Jake said and held up the bottle.
"Thanks dad." Baby said, standing up from the floor and walking to him. She took the pizza and the bottle from him and smiled.
"I'm going to miss you sweetie. What must I do without you?" He whispered, Baby shook her head a bit.
"You'll survive." Baby said, walking to her bed, laying down the pizza and the bottle.
"Dad?" Baby asked, turning back to him.
"What is it Baby?" He asked, looking concerned. Baby chuckled a bit.
"Stop being so concerned this quick." Baby said, sitting down.
"Okay." Jake said, a bit confused.
"I know you want the best for me, I know you would love to see me going to Harvard and become a lawyer instead of being an IT nerd. But." Baby said, thinking a little bit.
"I love being an IT nerd dad. I don't want to be a fancy lawyer, earning a lot of money, marrying another lawyer or doctor." Baby said.
"I'm not like that, I do hope that one day you will accept that part of me." Baby said.

The last years has been terrible between Jake and Baby, they argued a lot about Baby's life and how she is choosing it to be.

"Listen Baby, I just want the best for you." Jake said.
"Your definition of the best is different from mine. Look, I know you want to give me everything I want because you can. This is why Lisa actually is making use of that." Baby said.

She opened the pizza box and looked at the pizza with a smile. Jake didn't say a word, deep down he knows that Baby is right.

"I hope that one day you will understand why I choose to earn my own money, to try to make a life of my own, even make mistakes." Baby said.

She did smile at her father. He watches her closely, then he starts to smile as well.

"You were looking for this one?" Jake asked, picking up the DVD from Pride and Prejudice that was laying on the shelf near the door.
"Yes, thanks dad." Baby said, standing up and walking to him.
"I will try Baby." He said, she smiled and hugged him.
"Thanks dad, that is all I wanted to hear." Baby said, letting him go.
"Mom and I are thinking to go to Kellerman's for a holiday. I know Max is trying to get me on that mountain for some time now. Would you like that?" Jake asked, smiling but looking curious at his daughter.
"I would love it, then you finally have a holiday. You and mom need that." Baby said.

She puts the DVD in her computer. Her screen is an actual tv that she uses as her computer screen as well. Baby sat herself comfortable on her bed with the pizza on her lap.

"Have a nice evening Baby." Jake said, grabbing the door knob.
"Thanks dad. Have a good night." Baby said.

He closed the door behind him and Baby watched Pride and Prejudice, one of her favorite romantic mini-series. The version with Colin Firth from nineteen ninety-five. After some time Baby's phone began to ring, she looks at it and smiled.

"Hey Penny." Baby said.
"Hey Baby, are you ready for tomorrow?" Penny asks.
"Yeah, looking forward to it." Baby said, taking a bite from her pizza.
"You will like it there, I think. We will be having a great time." Penny said, Baby just imagined her smiling excitedly.
"You know Baby, you can dance again if you want to." Penny said with a teasing tone.
"After what Tony did to me? No, thanks." Baby said but did giggle a bit.
"Come on Baby, I'm sure you will like it again." Penny said, Baby only rolled her eyes.
"We will see Pen." Baby said.
"Oh, I heard that they will be having horses this year. Like a sort of ranch feel to it or something, I don't know, heard the boss wanted to try something new." Penny said.
"Oh god, this is feeling like this summer is going to have everything I used to love. What must I do Penny?" Baby asked, acting like she was annoyed. Penny laughed a bit.
"You will love it there." Penny said.
"Just enjoy it." Penny added.
"I will try then. Oh, dad told me earlier he wants to try to accept that I want to make a life of my own now." Baby said.
"It's about time." Penny said.
"All the fights you two were having, it was making everyone sick." Penny said.
"Well, I'm just sick and tired of all these fancy and expensive things. Dad, trying to spoil me all the time, buying me expensive clothes and all." Baby said.
"I just don't want it anymore." Baby added.
"I understand Baby." Penny said.
"Ever since he tried to push me to date Tony, who I first thought was a really nice guy and not from status, dad has sort of broken my trust in his vision about my life. I want to proof him that I can do without his money, spoiling or help." Baby kept talking.
"Baby, relax. Take a deep breath. Tomorrow you will start a new life. You will do what you love, who knows you might start dancing and riding again. Oh, maybe there will be someone for you there." Penny said.
"I'm not looking for a relationship, especially not with some rich dude." Baby said, they both chuckled a bit.
"Penny? Are you still happy with Anton?" Baby asked, eating her pizza.
"I broke up with him today." Penny said.

Baby stopped her arm mid-air, holding a slice of pizza while her mouth hanged open.

"Baby, stop gasping, I broke up with him. I'm fine, in fact, I'm happy I did it." Penny said.
"But why? I thought you two did so great together." Baby said, laying the slice of pizza down and being somewhat confused.
"Everyone thought this Baby. But he doesn't like what I do, he is sweet, but we don't really fit together. He has way too different interests than me. And to be honestly fair." Penny said.
"Yeah?" Baby asked.
"I think my love for him died some months ago already." Penny said.
"Well, then it's better to move on than trying to hold on." Baby said.
"You are totally right. You understand me at least." Penny said.

They're both IT nerds, they both love to dance. Well, Penny still love it very much, but Baby stopped dancing. And they both love riding. Since the day they met, they became best friends. Now Penny found the jobs on Kellerman's, they're both looking forward being colleagues as well as best friends. The only difference between them is that Baby's family is rich, and Penny has been kicked out since she was sixteen and is trying to come around each month. Penny has been a huge inspiration for Baby as well.

"What time will you be here?" Penny asked.
"Around lunch time, I will take you with me to McDonald's. Let's be bad for one time and then go on our way to Kellerman's." Baby said.
"You're eating pizza right now, aren't you?" Penny asked, Baby only giggled a bit.
"Let me guess, and you are watching Pride and Prejudice as well." Penny said. Baby giggled even harder.
"Oh, oh, the wet shirt scene." Baby said as she watched the tv.
"Baby! You really need a man." Penny said.
"I have Mr. Darcy and pizza, what more do I want?" Baby asked, Penny laughed out loud.
"You're weird Baby, but I like that about you." Penny said.
"I like your weirdness too." Baby said.
"Gosh, sometimes we do sound like an old married lesbian couple." Penny said and they both laughed about it.
"I see you tomorrow Pen. Love you." Baby said.
"See you tomorrow Baby. Love you too." Penny said, and she hung up the phone.
