Amy Fleming was coming out of the barn on her family's farm into the hot sunshine.

"Amy!"

She turned toward the house and saw her older sister, Lou, standing in the doorway holding the phone.

"You may want to take this."

Amy jogged over and took the phone. "Amy Fleming here."

"Hi Amy, my name is Brynna Forster, and I would like to know if maybe you could, um, work on my daughter's horse. I mean –"

"It's okay, Mrs. Forster, I understand. Can you tell me about the horse?" Amy said, and she listened intently.

"Ace is a mustang that was adopted and gentled by my husband, Wyatt, for Samantha, our daughter, when she came home from a two-year stay in San Francisco." She took a deep breath, then continued.

"Samantha was riding Ace on a trail when a pack of wolves, newly implanted, attacked them. Ace reared while Sam was trying to scare the wolves away, and they fell. The wolves attacked and tore them both up pretty bad, but more so Ace than Sam, although she still hasn't woken up from the coma that the fall put her in. He has all sort of bite marks and injuries all over him." Mrs. Forster said and Amy's ears perked up.

"I can see how that can traumatize a horse." She said and took notes.

"Yes, now Ace won't let anyone near him, and he spooks at everything. Sam will be devastated when she sees her big spoiled baby acting like this."

Amy could hear the despair in the woman's voice as she said the words. She would be upset if her horse, Sundance, acted that way.

"All right, Mrs. Forster, do you think I could talk to my family about taking on a new horse, and then I'll call back either tonight or tomorrow?" Amy said.

"Of course, let me give you my cell phone number, me and my husband will be staying at the hospital a lot with Sam." Amy jotted down the number and said good-bye, and then rushed out to find Ty Baldwin, the head stable hand and her boyfriend.

"Ty?" She called as she walked inside the barn. "You in here?"

"Yeah, I'm grooming Jake." His voice came from the stall down the aisle. She walked over to Jake's stall, and couldn't see past the huge Clydesdale gelding.

"I just got a call. From Nevada." That seemed to get his attention, because his face peered around the huge horse from where he was combing Jake's tail. "Nevada?"

"Yeah, about a horse." Amy told him the story and he whistled.

"Wow, that's tough. So they want us to take him?"

"Yes, she wanted him to be like his old self for her daughter, Samantha." Amy looked into his eyes and could tell he was thinking hard about it.

"Do you think we could take him?" She asked tentatively.

"I don't know, Amy, you already have so much to do without taking on an extra horse."

Amy stroked the Jake's velvety nose and thought about it. "I think I could do it. I could do all the regular chores early, then after the feedings work with Ace, exercise some of the horses, then help with all the nightly chores and still have some time with him in the evenings."

Ty looked at her skeptically. "What about when school starts back?"

He had her there, but she shrugged. "I'll find some way."

Ty looked at her for a moment, then he came out of the stall after giving the Clydesdale a pat and said,

"We'll see, but I don't think you can be Wonder Woman, no matter how much you want to be."

Amy rolled her eyes. "I don't want to be Wonder Woman, Ty, I only want to help a horse. Now let's stop arguing and go inside for some dinner." She kissed him on the cheek then bounded away towards the house, from which the delicious smell of some sort of pasta came, and it smelled good.

A/N: Okay, what ya'll think? I like it, but I think Ty was a little overbearing. Man, I need to lighten these guys up, don't I? Well, I've got loads of homework to do, so I'll try to post maybe tomorrow or perhaps again tonight. Thank's for the R's!
