Emily held on to her rolly suitcase that kept on hitting the little rocks that stopped the case once in awhile. Emily knew that maybe this was the way to see hr father. She sure did miss him alot, but never knew why he had left her mom and her which made her kind of mad. She looked down the road and wonder if she would ever make it to the place her farther lived.

After a long walk with her suit case she came opon a house that was huge. Emily set her suit case down on the porch and walked up to the door and began to nock on the door. Emily looked around and didn't see anyone so she went to the door bell and ringed it a couple times waiting until her legs got tired she went and sat on the stairs waiting for her father to come see her. He probley didn't know that she was here, but that was ok she wanted to surprise him. Emily got bored waiting on her farther and dared not to get close to the barns. She placed her elbows on her knees and placed her chin in her hands and sighed.

Sweets was in the pasture, grazing contentedly. She missed her owner dearly. She had not seen her little girl in so long and they had been so close. Her heart yearned for her, but she knew that she was safe here, and Emily’s mother did not want Sweets anyway. The Peruvian Paso sighed. Fuego had Flit, Pablo had Sammie. And she had…nobody. Hoof tore at the grass a little bit before she dug into the grass again. It just was not fair. The sun shone down on her strawberry roan coat and warmed her down to the skin. It was a lovely day out. Lifting her head, she swung it around before starting to walk then dancing, legs coming up high as she went into a smooth gait. A noise caught her attention, and she stopped quickly.

It couldn’t be. There was no way. Was this a cruel joke? She ran toward the fence, looking over toward the house before letting out a neigh, starting to pace along the fence line. She wanted to know, she really wanted to know right now. Those afternoon rides with Pablo and Emily and Fuego. Being groomed by Emily. Relaxing in the pasture with Emily. There was so much they did together, and she was here?! It had to be a joke, it really had to be. She let out another neigh before starting to paw at the ground, digging at the Earth, wanting to get out now to do some investigating.

[CheytheAWESOME]

Emily looked around the place,but seemed like no one was here at all. Emily sighed and kicked at the dirt. Where was her father at? Why wasn't he here to be all loveable and pick her up and love on her. She knew that he didn't know that she was coming, but maybe he could have looked out the window and saw her walking down the driveway and see her with her suitcase coming to see her father. She was about in tears cause she wanted to see her father so bad,but he never anwsered the door. Maybe he was out of the house? Or maybe he moved somewhere else? Emily didn't nkow which broke her heart.

Emily got up from her spot on the stairs and went to go looking around. She left her bag on the stairs and her jacket and went for a walk. Then something caught her ears when she was fixing to walk through the barn. Emily turned her head and there she saw Sweets! ' SWEETS!! She screamed and began running to the pasture. She was so happy to see her the strawberry roan mare. She crawled up on the fence and jumped down and ran to her mare.' Sweets!! Oh pretty girl I missed you!" She talked to her as her hands touched the soft strawberry roan coat. Emily looked around and saw a lead rope on the fence by the gate and smiled. She walked over to the gate and grabed the lead rope and looked at sweets." Wanna ride?" It had been so long since she rode,but she didn't care she wanted to sit ontop of her mare and just relax. She smiled and cliped the lead to one side of the mare's halted and tied the other end to other side and flipped it over the mare's head.' Ok sweets stand still. While I climb onto the fence." She smiled and climb onto the fence and looked at Sweets and smiled and slipped a leg onto her back and kind of hopped on." Good girl." Emily smiled and patted the strawberry roan's neck and smiled. Emily wrapped her arms around Sweets neck and hugged her and closed her eye's and just laid like this. This was the life for Emily to be with her favorite horse in the world.

Sweets watched as the little girl walked toward her, more like galloped, and she started pacing again. It was Emily! It was her girl! Her heart beat against her chest as she came closer and she stopped her pacing as the beautiful girl entered the pasture. Sweets made sure to look around, but there were no other horses in here with her. She knew where Fuego and Flit were, but she wanted to make sure no one surprised her with any other miscreants that might want to hurt her girl. She felt the touch of the little girl and it soothed her. Emily really was alive, she wasn’t just a dream, a mirage. A figment of her imagination, she really was here. She stood still as Emily left her for just a second before coming back, a lead line in hand. She stood stock still, not wanting to hurt her girl right away when this was the first time in a long time. When Pablo had come back she could smell a little bit of Emily, but that did not mean anything. It was not the real thing, but this here, this was the true physical form. Her best friend had come back!

Waiting for Emily to be comfortable, she turned her head and nudged her foot gently as she felt the warm embrace of a friend too long gone. A sigh escaped through her lips, this time out of contentment and jubilancy than anything else. Feeling her rider on top of her and seemed to be balanced, she took a hesitant step forward before another, as if giving her a grand tour of the pasture. She kept it at a walk, not wanting Emily to fall off. She kept it slow, waiting for a command from her girl to go faster if she would like. She was used to Pablo a little more, and Emily was definitely lighter than him. It was as if this little girl was her own precious daughter that had been stolen away from her for too long, and now she came back, fragile. One wrong step and Sweets thought she could lose her, but this time, forever. And she did not want that, oh no.

(Pablo will probably come out on the next one)

Emily had a grin that reached from ear to ear. She was so happy to feel her horse move. She had been so close to her that it wsa hard for Emily to leave her,but her mother ripped her away without saying "good-bye' or "I love you" just took her hand and dragged her away from the barn like she was nothing. Emily could remember that day like no other. Her mother came and got her and pretty much yanked her off Sweets and left Sweets and father standing in the Arena with Emily shocked and not knowing what was happening and seeing her father just watch. Emily shook her head from that image and knew that she was never going to leave now. She had Sweets and her dad which made her happy,but really not her dad since she hasnt seen him yet, but she will and then she will have them both.

Emily grabed the lead rope in her finger's and fubbled them between her fingers untell the fit between her pinkey's. Emily sat up streight and heels down like she has always been taught by her father. Emily bent her knee's alittle bit and then smiled. " Oh Sweets. Your such a good girl. She grinned and then knew what she really wanted to do. She wanted to run and run as fast as they could. Emily grabed ahold of some mane and leaned forward and clicked wit her tounge." Come on girl let's race!!' She told her and kind of nudged her alittle with her heels. Emily smiled as she waited for Sweets to take charge and run. Something Emily loved doing was to run and run as fast as they could. Once they ran acouple laps emily pulled up." Easy girl. Halt." She said to her. Emily was out of breath she was really out of shape in riding. Emily smiled and laid down on her rump and sighed."This is the life"

What in the world? Pablo muttered, hearing some ruckus from the pasture. He had been working out Fuego again, with better results than before. Pablo instantly became suspicious. Something was going on in the pasture, and Sweets wasn’t one to be so…noisy to say the least. He pushed his cowboy hat up a little, the back of his hand wiping away some of the sweat on his forehead. He sighed. He didn’t think, especially in this small town, that someone was trying to steal the Peruvian Paso. She was not worth much, only in memories really. He figured it was a bug or something that got her riled and slowly untacked Fuego, trying to spend as much time as he could seeing as he was feeling so neglected. Alrighty boy, lets get ya out in the pasture for the last couple hours. He stuck on the halter and lead line. Fuego was tuckered out, he was so out of shape. Walking toward the pasture, it took Pablo a few minutes before seeing someone on Sweets. What the hell?! Pablo exclaimed, enraged. He dropped the lead line and stormed toward the pasture, wanting to know who the hell thought they had the right to ride his girl’s mare. Hey! You! He shouted, entering the pasture, keeping the gate open so he could get Sweets out. But wait, that figure, it seemed….familiar. But it couldn’t be. He watched as Sweets came to a stop and then he knew. His heart felt like it was going to shatter through his chest as he looked at the rider, and a tear came to his eye. His baby was where she was supposed to be. Emily! He shouted, this time out of joy. He did not care about the horses. He started at a dead run, not being able to get there fast enough. Sweets just looked on, not spooking. She knew who it was so it didn’t really matter. It was his turn with her, but she would want her back soon.

Emily laughed and loved the feeling of Sweets gallop across the pasture. It was something that Emily missed so much and was so happy to beable to ride her now. Something that was apart of emily has be restored and she was so happy to have it restored. Emily looked down and her hand touched the strawberry roan's neck and the soft feel of her coat. Emily laid her head down on Strawberry roan's neck and then all of a sudden she heard a man's voice. She shot up and turned toward the barn. She was hopping that she wasn't introuble and thought her father sold her mare and was now with this guy, but then Emily blinked and saw that it was her father! She jumped off of Sweets and started running toward her dad." Daddy!!!" She screamed and kept on running to her father. She couldn't belive it was her father and it just made her so happy that it was. She was pretty much crying." Oh Papa!" She grabed her dad and gave him such a big hug. ' I missed you so much!! I can't belive it is you!" Emily started crying and held onto her dad's hand." Oh papa! I thought I would never see you agian." She smiled and looked up at him." You have gotten so tall."

Pablo quickly grabbed her in a bear hug as she hugged him, a few tears slipping down his face. He quickly wiped them off. This was no time for tears, no time at all. His daughter was here. He did not know how, he did not know why, but he was not about to ask questions. Not yet anyway. Those would come later, right now he was just so happy to have his wonderful daughter in his arms again. You were always gonna see me again, even if I had to drive down there every weekend to come and see you! Of course, that would be one long road trip, but it would be well worth it to even spend five minutes with Emily. Sweets ambled around and found a place with fresh clover and stuck her muzzle into it, quickly devouring it, trying to before anyone else invaded her little piece of property. No, I think you have gotten shorter. He joked before getting down on his knees and gathering Emily into another hug. Miracles do happen. A miracle must have brought his daughter to him. A miracle must know how much he needed her. It was all about miracles. Later would come the harder questions. For one, did her mom even know? Oh no he did not want to be on the end of that receiving scream. Unfortunately he would have to be, just a good thing that they got along better than some divorced couples.

Emily grinned. She knew she would see him agian, it was just hard for them to see each other since she lived to far away which Emily hated."I'm so happy to see Sweets. I havn't ridden a horse since I left. Mother wouldn't let me ride at a barn,but she took me to this one place to learn to dance." She looked at him and frowned." It was not that fun at all. They made me wear tuto's and tights. " She laughed and began playing around. She put her hands over her head and began to tippy toes and turned in circles." We had to do this and leaps and stuff like that. I fell once and they told me to get up and quit being a baby." She looked at him with wide eye's" And the teacher didn't even speak english. She was like speaking French and they made me wear little shoes that crushed my toes!" She held up her tennis shoes and put a smile on her face and giggled. She had so much to tell her father all about he times with her mom. She had a good time with her mom,but was happy to be with her dad now.'Hey...I have grown alittle bit." She giggled and gave him another hug. Emily looked her dad and knew that maybe she should tell her dad the truth,but then he would probley send her back which she didn't want to do. She didn't want to go back she wanted to stay here with her dad and Sweets.Emily looked around at the barn and the house." Wow dad you have a nice looking place. Where is Fuego at dad?' She smiled and looked back over to sweets. She loved her little small family and would never change either. Emily walked over and grabed sweets by the halter and walked her back over to her dad."I have so much to tell you dad.

Barbary knock it off, she spoke as the stallion charged down the trail, she was not riding him merely leading him. Two puppies followed behind, tripping over there large paws and they followed behind, reaching the driveway the puppies shot off, Hank Lulu get back here. Sammie started to run after the two Barbary broke free of her grip, oh you have to be kidding me. The puppies would surly destroy something in the barn and Barbary would jump the fence and breed every freaking mare including Jade. She grumbled and ran after the stallion, who in one swift movement cleared the mare fence she saw Pablo and a little girl in there, she could not tell Pablo to grab him seeing Barbary was heading the other way.

Barbary was hot on Jades trail and soon reached her, rounding her up and bring her to the back of the pasture, oh great Sammie spoke. Reaching the fence she hopped it and ran after the stallion who was grooming Jade im sure trying to woo her and make some points in her book. Sammie reached the stallion and slapped his rump, grabbing the lead rope she lead him to the gate which meant past Pablo and the little girl, she reached them excuse me she spoke walking out the gate. She put Barbary into his stall, in an instant he began to through a serious fit, Hank and Lulu came out, Lulu tumbling paw over head as she tripped over her own four paws, Sammie chuckled and headed back out to the mare and gelding pasture the puppies following behind. She leaned against the fence, hey she spoke the puppies got excited as there were two new humans! They squeezed under the fence and went straight over to Pablo and the little girl, Sammie wondered if this was Pablo’s daughter, she waited quietly.

(Sorry not a lot of muse for Pablo but I’ll get a post out)

He listened quietly, picturing in his mind his horseback riding daughter doing ballet. Well that sounds like some kind of torture. He stated ruefully at the thought. But you’re here now and you can ride whenever you like. With permission, of course. There were too many places to get lost at, too many dangers. He wanted to make sure that she remembered how to ride just as much on a trail as in the pasture before letting her go again. Daddy ‘tude was coming into swing now, had to be a dad and not someone’s best friend. Watching Sammie, he could see that she was not having the best day. Especially with darling Barbary. That stallion right there? You don’t go near him. The other one, Caillou, is okay, he’s nice, but Barbary is not. He would take her on a tour later and show her all the horses that she could go near and could not so she would have visuals as much as knowing their names. Looking around, he forgot that he had dropped Fuego’s lead line. Oh crap, where did he go now? He noticed a rump sticking out around the tree line. He’s over there, he hasn’t changed. Maybe later we could all go on a trail ride. Looking behind him, he noticed two dogs coming their way. Oh no, not more dogs! Wasn’t one enough? He rolled his eyes before shooting a smile at Sammie. C’mon, I have someone I want you to meet someone. Making sure that Emily was following, he went over to Sammie, the jubilancy etched all over his face about what he had just found. Sammie, this is Emily, my daughter. Emily, this is Sammie, my fiancé. He was hoping that they would like each other. He really did not want to have to be put in the position of choosing between them. Which he wouldn’t, they would just have to get along.

Emily looked at her dad. Something seemed different about him, he never really laughed anymore really and she was doing something funny and wanted him to laugh really. Emily put her head down and kicked at the dirt and wasn't really sure what to think. It was really fun dancing when they wasn't in pointing shoe's. Her mother was just trying to make her furture better,but she didn't have to take away the horse's. That what killed Emily the most that was the reason why she left her mother's because she couldn't stand being away from the animal she loved which was sweets.Emily looked up as her father was saying she was here now,but really she wasn't sure how long she would be here for much longer." Yes, Sir."she told him and looked at him. She was a very respectable to her father and to her mother. She listen to him really,but then something caught her eye and there was a horse jumping the fence. She could tell that he wasn't a mare. She took ahold of Sweets and would protect her no matter what came there way and knew that Sweets would protect her no matter what came her way aswell. She was watching the stallion and some girl running toward the horse when her father was speaking. She looked up at him."Yes, Sir She looked at him. She wasn't really into other horse's right now just really wanted to get out riding sweets. She could always go look at the other horse's later. Emily looked over across the yard and saw Fuego standing under a tree she could tell he was the same no mater what.Emily smiled when she saw two puppies coming her way. She wanted to pet them and everything, but then her father was smiling,but wasn't sure why. He wasn't smiling at the dogs and knew that cause she saw him roll his eyes, but them he looked at that girl on the hill and really her heart sank. She thought she was the only girl for him just like her mother she thought so too, but then she found a guy with money and got married.Emily stood there watching her father leave,but knew she should be following. She took a hold of Sweets lead rope and began walking Sweets to the barn following her dad. She was going to groom her and just spend some time with her mare. Emily stopped beside her dad with Sweets in her hand and looked at the girl named Sammie. If this girl tried to be sweet and neal down and talk to her like she was a baby she would blow up. Cause she wasn't a baby at all she was 6yrs old and could do anything she wanted. Emily looked at her father agian and then back at Sammie. She knew she should say something, but wasn't sure if she was going to like this girl she would just have to put a smile on her face since it put a smile on her dad's face."Hello"she said in a sweet voice." Dad where is Sweets stall I want to groom her and go for a small ride in the Arena." She looked at him. She really wanted to go for a ride and really didnt want to sit here and talk to Sammie. Emily could be rude,but really didn't want to seem rude so she stood there waiting to see what would be said.

[arzu]

Sammie gave the girl a smile, its very nice to meet you Emily. She knew little girls at this age, they did not want to be treated like a little kid and she would respect that, they wanted there space and she would also give that to her. Well if you don’t mind I have some horses to work. She gave the girl one last smile hoping that with in time Emily would approach her and want to talk to her but once again she would respect her space. Sammie turned and walked off into the Stallions barn today she was going to ride the brat one way or another. Sammie managed to get him into the cross ties, groom and saddle him with out being bit. She clipped a lunge line on to his bridle and head out to the out door arena, which she had set barrels up in. Sammie shut the gate behind her, lunge whip in hand she sent the stallion off. He was not listening to her cues and so she whipped the ground near his feet that got his attention. She smirked I am not playing games today Barbary. He snorted and the battle continued until he began to listen. She clipped the reins on and mounted, circling him she set him off at a walk down the rail. Soon she had him set in a little box she had drawn in the sand, kicking his side they shot off to the first barrel, turning tight and sharp they headed off to the second and he switched leads in the middle before the hit the second barrel just like he was suppose to. The third barrel was another story he spooked at a bird and shied violently. Sammie held on and patted his neck and calmed him down, shh easy boy. She spoke softly, she was still thinking of ways to get on Emily’s good side or what she could do so Emily and her could bound. She sighed and let him walk around.
