Summary: Amy's family is one of the most recognized in the U.S because of Marion Fleming's show-jumping success, and the wealth that comes from it. What happens when Amy's world is turned upside down? This chapter may be kind of boring, but it is very important!!!!!!

Chapter 1 : The up's and Down's

"Yes! A clear round!" Amy Fleming exclaimed has her mom and her favorite show jumper, Flying High, finished the last combination. At 16, Amy was already known world wide as Marion Fleming's daughter. She was also known in her hometown has Hunter Jumper Champion with her pony, Sundance, when she had the time to compete. Amy ran to the exit, slowing has she got near so has not to spook Fly. She patted his neck, and hugged her Mom the second she dismounted. "You won again!" She gushed. "No one is going to beat that!" She loved watching her mom win, she loved horses and jumping, and she loved what came from winning: money. She couldn't wait to go shopping with her mom or Soraya. She had been eying a dark blue Gucci bag in the mall. It was her's now!

"Well I did do rather well," Marion replied with a hint of an accent from living in England, trying to be modest, but then she grinned. "We'll just have to go shopping later won't we?" Amy grinned back. They both knew that it was almost impossible to beat her. Amy turned to watch the final entry, a showy bay with an overly sweaty neck, trying to suppress a grin when the horse collected a fault on the first fence. Amy quickly grabbed the towel from around her neck that she always had at shows, and rubbed Fly's sweaty neck. When she was done, she patted his neck and gave her mom a leg up to go into the ring to collect her ribbon and prize.

"I'll call dad," she told her, then turned to walk to a quieter part of the show grounds. She pulled out her Mint- Chocolate phone (I want this phone soooooo bad!!!) and speed dialed her family's stable, so cleverly named Fleming's Stables.

"Hello, Fleming's stables, Tim Fleming speaking," her fathers professional voice came over the phone. Her father managed her family's stable and never needed to get a job. He was fine living off of his wife's show earnings, which were more then enough.

"Hey Daddy!" Amy yelled in a sugar sweet voice. She got a few weird glances from passerby's, but she didn't really care. She knew she looked good in her spotless Seven jeans and her Guess bubble- jacket coat. Let them be jealous: most people were. "mom won again!"

"That's great sweety", he said. She could tell he was smiling. "When do you thing you'll be home?"

"Um….." she replied, thinking of how long it would take to convince her mom to take her to the mall to go shopping. "Two hours maybe? I think we're going shopping.." Her father said good bye, and she put her phone away, and screamed, cheering with everyone else has her mom was being interviewed. She couldn't wait to see everyone at school tomorrow.

"So your mom won again I see," Soraya greeted Amy has she pulled up to school in her Saturn Sky ice blue convertible (I totally want this car!!!).

Amy grinned widely and pushed her Chanel sunglasses on top of her head as she shut off the car. She put the top up and put her sunglasses in her glove compartment and pulled out some MAC lip gloss and smeared some on. She grabbed her new Gucci bag and stepped out of her car, teetering slightly on her 3 inch new white- and –blue Monolo's that went perfectly with her not- so-cool school uniform, consisting of a blue pleated skirt that she had shortened like everyone else, and white button down. "Of course", she said has they made their way over to the entrance of the school, passing Ashley grant, Amy's show jumping rival when she competed, and her somewhat friend, Ty. She didn't know hi last name but oh well. Ashley was known for coming on to him, but Ty always told her he didn't like her that way. And he just broke up with his previous girlfriend. But of course, that didn't stop her from calling him her boyfriend. The warning bell rand, and they made their way to Amy's least favorite class : Geometry.

After lunch, she was walking backward and telling Soraya good- bye has she was leaving for a practice show. Her mom was rising her pony, Sundance, because Amy had a show this weekend, he needed the practice, and she refused to let Amy skip the whole day of school. She ran into someone and would have fallen, if he hadn't caught her. "sorry, " she said sweetly, looking up into Ty's face. TY wasn't exactly bad to look at. He was also the star quarter back for the football team. They talked awhile and he told her to wish her mom luck at the show has Ashley came up. She hardly ever talked to him because she couldn't stand her. Oh well. On to the show!

After changing into a pair of stable boots, she ran to find her dad in the stands. Has she was scanning her eyes over the stands, someone tapped on her shoulder. She spun around and nearly had a heart attack before she saw it was her dad. "Don't do that!" she yelled, then, not bothering to find a seat, just stood at the rail. They called Marion's name and they went to hug her before her Dad gave her a leg up. She glanced at the fences. The only one Sundance might have a problem with was the water jump. He seemed to fear them, but sometimes he was just fine. They couldn't treat him with any of her moms herbal memories if they didn't know what was wrong. But she knew her mom could handle it.

They flew through the first half of the course, until the water jump was next. When Sundance caught sight of it, his gait turned into a choppy canter. Fear started to rise, but she pushed it down. Her mom was the best; she could handle it. All of a sudden, Sundance broke into a reckless gallop. Amy's fear rose as she saw him hurdle himself over the fence. He cleared it and it looked has if he was going to land safely, when his back hoof landed half in, half out of the water behind the fence. He flew backward, sending Marion off his back and through the fence, head first, before landing on her head. Amy sprinted across the ring to her mom's limp body. Her neck was at an unnatural angle, and blood pored through the gash in her head. Tears blurred Amy's vision. "You can't die," she choked out.

"Amy, I need to talk to you," her dad told her has they were sitting at the kitchen table 4 days later. It was the first time Amy had come out of her room to eat, and she wasn't at all hungry. She mumbled in agreement and picked at her gressy take out pizza. "I think…. I don't think you should stay here." He said. Amy's head snapped up, her long brown matted hair slapping her back and her grey eyes smoldering and confused.

"What?" she choked. What was he saying?

Her dad blinked a couple of times before answering. "You need to get away from here. I think it's to hard for you remembering……."

"You're going to send me away? This is my home! You can't! You don't know anything about the horses, or the remedies……" she trailed off has tears started to flow.

"I'm selling this and getting an apartment. The horses are leaving. I'm sending you to live with an old friend of mine and his family, the Baldwins. You can have Sundance and Fly. They have a stable." She stared down at her pizza. She jerked back and jumped out out of her chair and grabbed her backpack that was sitting by the front door. Spilling out its contents, she answered. "I'm going to pack," she spat.

She stormed out to the feed room and grabbed the dozens of bottle of her moms herbal remedies and threw them in her bag, along with her books. She dropped her bag and stuffed Sundance's and Fly's riddles, and other stuff in to their correct traveling bags. Not noticing the weight of her backpack filled with remedies, books, and picture, and the saddles, she dragged them to the front of Sundance's stall before collapsing into sobs. "He can't do this," she chocked has Sundance butted her stomach with his nose. After a few minutes, she headed back up to the house to pack up her stuff. Tomorrow, she was leaving her home, forever.
