It was a week before May 15. Amy and Soraya were packing. Amy packed her riding uniform, shirts, and jeans. She packed all her other necessities. She delivered her bag to Soraya's house when she was done. When she came back she found everything in chaos. Lou was arranging the final plans. Everyone was picking up Heartland since the wedding was going to take place there. Lou looked up from her work and said, " Oh, Amy. We have a dress fitting tomorrow."

Amy sighed. She wasn't even going to be there for the wedding. She hoped Lou wouldn't be to mad. Amy knew her sister better. She wouldn't be mad. She'd be furious!

" Ok," Amy replied. She went outside to see Ty working with Midnight (a/n: I made him up) in the ring. Ty was just finishing up when he saw her.

" Hey," he said walking over to her.

" Hey," she replied. She leaned over the fence to kiss him. They broke apart a few seconds later at Midnight's neigh.

" How is he doing?" Amy asked.

" Fine. He's adjusting to people." Ty replied. Midnight was sent to Heartland because he was abused since he was born. He was afraid of people. They were teaching and showing him humans are not always mean. Amy suddenly got the courage to ask something she has been thinking for a while. "Ty, how would you feel if I starting competing again?"

Ty thought for a moment. " Why?" he asked looking curious.

" Would you be mad? Happy? What?"

" I'd be supportive, but I wouldn't understand."

" Oh." Deciding she should tell him before he found out from someone else or the T.V. " I've been competing."

Ty looked at her with a blank expression. "I figured. You and Storm were always never to be seen. The trailer was also a big hint." He said with a small laugh.

" So your not mad?"

" Nope. If it's your dream, I'll be there right beside you."

" Thank You!" Amy climbed and jumped over the fence and threw her arms around him. He hugged her back, and kissed the side of her head. After a few seconds he asked, " What about Heartland?"

" I'd be here whenever I didn't have a show. It's not too much. I can handle it. I do it now anyway."

" I guess."

" What are you doing tonight?"

" Nothing. Why?"

" I was thinking we could go on a date. We haven't been out in a while."

"Sure. How about catching a 9 o'clock movie?"

" Sounds great."

8:30 later that day

Amy and Ty were on their way to the movies. They decided to see "When A Stranger Calls." They got to the theater and got their popcorn and drinks. After the movie they drove back to Heartland. (A/n: Sorry if you guys wanted to read what happens at the movies, but I really want to get to when she leaves.) They got out the car. They kissed for a couple of seconds until Amy said, " There's one more thing. I'm not going to be here for Lou's wedding. There's a show."

" Amy. Couldn't you skip one show? Lou is going to be really mad and disappointed."

" I can't, Ty. It's the Nationals. I've worked for years for this. If it was a town show, I wouldn't even go."

" So I don't have my date?" He pretended to be hurt.

" No. Sorry. You could always come with me though. I'll be gone for 5 days."

" Tempting as that sounds to be with my girlfriend for 5 days, I can't. I have to stay here, at Heartland, and my parents need me. You will call everyday, won't you?"

" Of course. I should be getting to bed. I leave tomorrow night. Promise not to tell anyone. Soraya knows, but not anyone else."

" I promise. Have fun. Love you. Bye."

" Bye. Love you." She kissed him one last time and went in.

The next morning she did her chores. Soraya already had her bags and the horse trailer. She had to pick up Amy and Storm tonight at midnight. Amy tried to avoid Lou as much as possible, but that was hard considering that tomorrow was the wedding. Amy was to wear this beautiful dress. It reminded her of what a princess would wear; it was that beautiful. She was a little disappointed she wouldn't be wearing it, but was excited for the show. She was heading to Storm's stall when Lou stopped her.

" Amy, we need to make sure your dress fits one last time for tomorrow."

" Can't I just bathe Storm first?"

" No. You can do it after." Amy looked at her watch. It read 2:30.

" Fine."

Amy walked up to the house. She put on the dress again. It fit perfectly just like before. "Can I go now?" she asked Lou.

" Yes. Go."

Amy walked quickly out of the house and to Storms stall. She grabbed his halter and lead rope from outside his stall. She put his halter on, clipped his lead rope and led him to the wash area. She spent an hour bathing him. She knew she'd have to do it again when she got to the show, but he needed a bath.

" Hey pretty boy. We're going to have fun at the show, aren't we? We're going to win and be on the team. I know we are." She crooned to her horse. After, she led him back to his stall. She brushed him over one more time and left. She ate dinner with Lou and grandpa. She quickly went upstairs, set her watch, and went to bed.

11:45pm

Amy woke up to the sound of her watch beeping. She put on a comfortable pair of jeans and a t-shirt. She quietly crept down the stairs and out the door. She went to Storm's stall. A few horses, including Sundance whinnied. She went over to his stall to pet him. " Sorry, boy," she whispered.

She went to Storm's stall and got his travel wraps, and halter. His tack was in the trailer so she didn't have to worry about that. A couple of minutes later she saw Soraya's red car and the Heartland trailer come into view. She soon saw Soraya step out.

"Hey. You ready?" Soraya asked.

"Yeah. Let's lower the ramp before I go get Storm," Amy said.

"Okay," Soraya agreed.

They walked to the back and un-did the bolts. The quietly lowered the ramp down. Once it was fully down, Amy went to go get Storm. When she got to his stall she grabbed his lead rope that was hanging on a hook next to his stall and went it. She went up to Storm and stroked his neck a couple times before clipping his lead rope on. She led him out and closed his stall door. She walked to the trailer, hoping Storm wouldn't act up. Once they got to the ramp she clicked for him to follow. First he backed up staring at it, than he cautiously walked up. Once she got him settled she went out the side door, locking it, and went to help Soraya put up the ramp. Once they were sure it was latched correctly, because it was dark they had trouble seeing, they got in the car.

"Good-bye Virginia, hello Kentucky!" Amy shouted in the car, when they were on the highway.

"Wahoo!" Sorara exclaimed.

Sorry for the long wait. I know I said I would have MA up after, but I was really close to finishing so I finished. I might have 'The Married Life' up before MA. I know this is short. 4 pages. TML I have 4 ½ pages and I am trying to go to 10 or more pages. Who knows. I am not close to finishing like in the next hour. Hopefully soon though.
