Amy Fleming was riding her horse Sundance on a beautiful Sunday morning. She needed time alone. It was two and a half months ago that Amy's mom, Marion, had died in a car accident. Amy was in that accident and felt responsible for it. She had begged her mom to go and rescue thiss horse named Gerry, or Spartan as they called him before they got in contact with his owners. Amy decided to push Sundance into a canter while heading back home. When she got there she saw Ty, Heartland's stablehand, walk out of the barn leading Sugarfoot, a shetland pony who had lost his owner two months ago.
"Hey," called Ty.
"Oh, hey," replied Amy.
"Excited about school tomorrow?"
He heard Amy groan and laughed. " Highschool is not that bad. Just if you make a bad impression the first day, everyone will make fun of you for the rest of the year."
"Gee, thanks."
"Hey. OK. It's not that bad. Just be yourself."
"Thanks. Hey! Think you could introduce me to any of your friends?"
"Uh. No."
"Why not? I mean, I will know them sooner or later."
"Hopefully not to soon."
Getting off the subject she said, "Well, I better go put Sundance up. he's getting restless." Just as she said that last part, Sundance started to paw the ground.
"See you later," called Ty.
After Amy un-tacked Sundance and brushed him, she went up to the house to eat lunch.
"Morning, Lou."
"Morning Amy."
"Do you have everything ready for tomorrow? Books packed? Clothes for tomorrow? Are you okay?"
"Yeah. Just nervous. You know, since it's my first day of highschool and all."
"Everything will be fine. You've got Soraya, Matt, and Ty."
Ty. Earlier he sounded like he didn't want her to hang out with him, they were like brother and sister towards eachother since they have kown each other for a long time. Ty started to work at Heartland at the age of 15, when he was a freshman.
"Well, we'll see how everything goes tomorrow. I just hope I don't forget my scedule or locker combination."
Before she knew it, it was dark outside. Soon it would be like a new begging. New school. New friends.
"We'll just have to see how tomorrow goes," she thought.
