A/n: it took me a little while to come up with the plot for the sequel to Ruthie's Star.  I hope all of you who read it enjoy it! I've had some writer's block, so it might be a little slow at first…hopefully not, though.

Hunter Path Acers. Located in fifteen acres of rolling green hills, lush green grass, and a breathtaking view of the distant mountains. Herds of beautiful horses gathered by a pond in the middle of the rich grass and piles of hay. Birds chirped in the lofts of the trees giving shade near the pond. In the background you could make out the wonderful sound of children's laughter. The massive Colorado sky was a sea of white clouds rolling over the dew-kissed land. All of this magic, this picture perfect display, was owned by Ruthie Camden. She bought the farm when she turned 21, her version of a great start to her life. Her parents supported her fully in her move to Colorado, although they did nag her about visiting them every chance she got. Ruthie hardly had any time, though. She was busy training her horses and taking in students. It was hard at first, dealing with all the new kids and thinking of ways to gain more publicity and get some help. But now things were moving along smoothly, she had a good number of dedicated students, a hard working crew, and much more money in her bank account then she expected. For Ruthie, life was just grand. "Ruthie! You're new lesson is here!" a voice called from behind. Ruthie turned to face Jan, her longtime friend and fellow teacher. Ruthie gasped, "I completely forget about that!" she cried, a sinking feeling forming at the bottom of her stomach. It was her policy that she was never late for a lesson or meeting. She was always prompt, always ready for anything. That was part of the reason why she was a booming success. Jan shook her head, her curly red locks bouncing off her shoulders. "They're waiting for you in your office. They're interested in lessons for their 16 year-old girl." She informed her friend, motioning for her to run along. Ruthie flashed her a quick smile, then dashed down the long dirt path to the main barn. Jan frowned suddenly, her face creased with thought. She had forgotten to mention that the girl was with her mother and father. And for that reason alone, Ruthie could've used a warning.

ok, not my best beginning, but like I said before, I had writer's block. Please R&R!
