Ok I hope that so far you have enjoyed this story, thanks for all the great reviews! Also I think I might keep the name…Here is chapter 4.

Change

Amy sat up abruptly in bed and saw the game spread out across the rug and couldn't help but smile. Maybe she could be happy for Ty and actually manage to still be friends with him. He had been a great friend the night before; he had talked to her and made her feel so much better. Slowly she pushed back the covers and looked down to see she was still in the leather jacket. Slowly her eyes began to adjust to the bright light shining into the room from the window. She stood up and reached for the sheets as she began to make the bed.

A few minutes later she put the last decorative horse pillow on the bed. Her eyes ventured back to the lamp stand where the picture sat and on the left hand side a little in front of the lamp she noticed her alarm clock.

"Eight a clock!" she nearly screamed, and hurried to grab some clothes to put on.

She noticed the door to the bathroom was cocked open a little. She found it nice that she didn't even have to leave her room to get dressed or have a shower. She walked slowly inside. Her mom's jewelry was laid out on the vanity and some of her hair stuff was there too. Amy reached out a hand to touch her mother's necklace. She caressed the little, silver, running horse charm that hung neatly on the silver chain.

Her mother wasn't a prissy girl, but she always knew when it was the right time to wear her dresses or her nice clothes, such as church. Amy had learned that very trait of her mother's with her growing of age, not that she liked it or anything but her mother had always told her that; there was a time to be a tomboy and a time to be a lady. She could always respect her mother for that.

Amy silently turned the horse over there on the back it read "Love Tim." Amy felt shocked; she had never noticed that before. She had worn that necklace all the time even on the day that she died. She must have actually still thought of him as either a close friend or still cared for him. Amy couldn't decide between the two thoughts. But she soon remembered the time and ran to finish getting ready.

Ty looked up to see Amy hustling out of the house. Her leather jacket covered the t-shirt she wore underneath and her jeans were stuffed in the short top of her ariat boots. Her brown hair fell straight at her shoulders and her gray eyes were accented with happiness and joy. There was a silver charm hanging from her neck and Ty recognized it as the one her mother had worn. She was running to him hopping one foot trying to pull down her jeans over the tops of her boots. He couldn't help but stand up and lean against his pitchfork and laugh a little. He still felt a little tired from the night before, or more less that morning.

Amy stopped in front of him and put her hands on her hips.

"What?" she questioned a smile sliding across her face.

"Nothing…" Ty said with a last chuckle "It's just good to see you happy."

Amy smiled at him "So since I have been gone, Spindle has grown up quite a bit, did someone continue the training, I don't know, umm…Marty, she would have been my second pick to continue the training."

Ty raised his eyebrow at her "No we didn't pay to have him trained further." He said.

Amy looked a little disappointed "Ty…not to harp, but you promised me that the training would be continued, he is older now and it will take longer, you know I would have trained him myself, but there were changes to the original plan…Ty, how…"

Amy was cut off when Ty took a step over to her and put his finger over her lips.

"Amy he was trained though."

"How…"

Before she could say any more Ty took her by the arm and led her into the barn. He stopped in front of Spindleberry's stall. Amy looked in at her gorgeous horse. Slowly she reached in her arm and with her hand patted him softly on the nose.

"I did." He said leaning over and whispering quietly in her ear.

Amy turned abruptly "You did??!!" she asked her heart bubbling.

"No I lied." He said shaking his head "Yes I did." He said beginning to laugh.

"Oh thank you Ty!" she said wrapping him in a hug.

"You shouldn't thank me yet, you haven't even rode him." He said stepping back.

"Well that is all about to change." She said turning around and heading to the tack room to get her riding boots.

Ty shook his head but followed her to the tack room to get a saddle.

Later Amy walked beside Ty holding Spindle's reins. The horse was following her obediently. This was yet another thing that Amy had fallen through on. If she had only of been here she could have watched her colt grow, and trained him herself. But she knew that it wasn't like she could go back and change time. She had made her decision and she had to be happy with it.

Amy stopped when she heard a car pulling into the driveway. It was Marnie. Marnie had moved to Virginia from New York when Lou was close to having her baby and took over her job. Ever since then she had worked been working in the little make shift office they had sat up for her in the barn. She was becoming even good with the horses. But her main job was all the paperwork.

"Hey!" Marnie said getting out of the car.

Also behind her Lou and Kiley got out. They had been on vacation lately and now were home now. Quite a bit they would come over and Kiley would ride and Lou would help out with the paperwork.

It then hit Amy how little she knew about her niece, and her family. A couple times she had been home and they had went riding together, she, Lou and Kiley. That was something she needed to do. She wanted to know her family again. She was finally where she belonged again. Back to where her heart and soul lived. She had to get back in to the heart of Heartland. It was where she belonged.

And at that point her whole attitude began to change. She couldn't go on living like this. She had made her choice to go off to school and England. Now she was making the choice to make her life here at Heartland everything it could be. She was home. And so was every part of her.

"Ty will you hold him for a second?" Amy asked handing over the reins.

"Sure." Ty said. Even he could see something different about her. It was like she had finally chosen to live with her decisions. It was also as if she had freed her spirit and was now back to the Amy that everyone knew.

Ok I'm sorry it is short, but I just felt as if this made the best ending for the chapter…take your fusses up with me later…I am sorry…but is was kind of time that she got a bit of a wakeup call…
