Miley:
i rode through the woods and came to the Berryhill race track. i loped Stardust around the track once and then began to gradually get faster.

Owen: I should have expected it, of course. As i jogged Ballerina around the hotwalker, i could see Miley and her horse warming up around the track. i didn't exactly feel like facing the awkward turtle that would definately be present, since i was quite befuddled about how to act, but Laheys fear nothing. grudgingly, i saddled up and cantered Ballinasloe Ballerina onto the track.

Miley:
as me and Stardust picked up speed i looked behind me to see, guess who, Owen. i waved as he approached. i looked him over and he looked shy and concealed. "whats up?" i asked him sounding concerned.

Owen: i waved and fought a nervous laugh. "just warming up Ballerina." i said, trying to be nonchalant. i wished that i was back in the barn, forking hay or doing something usefull, but it was too late now. "soo.... nice day, huh?"

Owen: Well, if she said so... i stalled by giving Ballerina's headstall a tweak over he ears, cleared my throat, and then began. "Miley, i like you a lot..."

Owen: I continued, sounding quite unsure of myself. "... but not like that." i explained. "i like you more as... like...a friend or even a little sister. i'm almost four years older than you." i really hoped that i hadn't hurt Miley's feelings, because i still wanted us to be friends.
OOC: duhduhdudh! hold on tight, here comes a major plot twist!

Miley:
"ohh, i understand." i said riding off towards the stable. when i heard hoof beats behind me. i kicked Stardust into a full out gallop and headed into the barn. i kept on galloping through the barn at full speed, even though i heard Owen's comforting voice behind me and Katie, and Justin and all my friends i never stopped. when i got to the other end of the barn and galloped through i came into acres of rolling green pastures. but i didnt stop. Stardust and i jumped the pastures' fences and rode on until i thought i was back in rural Neveda. i dismounted Stardust under a shady weeping willow tree and sat there crying. i took out my new EnV2 maroon phone and called my dad. "Dad, i want to come home. i dont want to stay at Sterling anymore." i said crying. my dad answered, "what happened sweety?" i answered, "love bites!" i cryed and laughed at the same time when dad answered, "thats why they are called crushes sweety. i coming to get you. what horse are you on?" dad said. i answered Stardust. he said "good i want you to ride her to Sterling and im gonna get you. we will come back and get the rest of your horses or i can always sell them to Miss Sterling. we will talk about it in the car." i wiped my eyes and said 'ok Dad'. i hung up the phone and re mounted Stardust. "why am i acting like a baby Stardust. i had other guys tell me that they just wanted to be friends. but i dont know why when Owen tells me it just hurts so bad." i talked to my horse. we cantered along jumping fences. i saw Owen on horseback calling my name and some other people on horses too. Stardust and i knew that we had to be extra careful or go for a plain out run to get by them. i choose the first idea. so we went around them.

Owen: i let out a groan and slumped over on Ballerina's neck like a dead guy. now i had totally blown it- Miley would never speak to me again, and probably back out of the competition to boot! all because of me and my big mouth! i mean, it's practically illegal for a freshman to date a senior- but i still liked Miley. she was a sweet kid, and good with horses too. I couldn't let her just ride away from it all. "Wait up! i have to explain!" i hollered, and spurred Ballerina after her. although our horses were usually well matched, Stardust's head start made it virtually impossible to catch them. once the pair had crossed the highway and disappeared onto the playa, i knew i had lost them. but there was hope... OOC: continues in "Dress to impress," then comes back here!
Katie: as soon as Owen skidded to a stop in front of Milton and i, hollering that Miley wanted to quit riding here, i hopped in the car and took off. i was a little ticked at Owen for running off one of our best riders, but i knew very well that teenage crushes meant very little in the long run. like my adolescent crush on the richest boy in my junior high class, the one with the racing stable named after him... i shook my head to clear my thoughts, and pulled up in front of the stables to wait.

Kale: Half way to the tracks I pulled back nad Milly did the same. "What if she went back to Sterling?" I asked and MIlly's eyes widened she nodded agreeing and we turned racing for that direction. WE saw her up ahead and I sighed. "Miley!" I called kicking my horse to get closer. "Man she's fast." I mumbled and looked over to see Milly and Hotshot pulling away from me with ease.
Milly: I had never gone this fast on a horses back. I prayed I wouldn't fall as I came up beside her. "Miley! Stop let me talk to you." I yelled to her not seeing the branch. I looked up trying to stop quickly but I was to late. The branch hit me painfully and I felt blood draw on my face but I shook my head and groaned out the pain.
Kale: I saw the branch hit Milly and I cringed still riding behind them by now a few others were with me and I saw as she turned her back to Miley the blood was going down her face. SHe shook it and continued on. I gave a growl of frustation that she was being so dangerous and asked my horse a good spurt of energy and he gave it to me. I flew forward coming up between them I yanked her horses bridle stopping her and the others flew by. I moved up beside her studying her face where the branch had hit her. "What possesed you to keep going after being hit like that?" I asked my upset for her being coming out in an angry spurt. I looked forward to where the others disappeared and shook my head. "Don't do that again. Please." I siad and she nodded. "Okay." She whispered and I smiled. "Come on we'll cut through the woods and get there at about the same time as them." She laughed then cringed. "Sorry." I said and she smiled half way. "I'll be fine. I'm just a little sore." We moved off to where they'd gone then turned off going through the woods back toward Sterling.

MAry Anne: Miley Leaving?!?!?!?! She just couldn't! "I'm coming!" I yelled, sprinting as fast as I could out of the lobby considering my riding boots. Piper shied out of my way, and with a quickly whispered apology to my horse for scaring him, I vaulted on, and was about to turn him sharply out of the pasture when I felt a hand on my reins.
Theo: "Wait up. It'll be easier if we look for her together- two sets of eyes are better than one!" I said, a bit lamely. I let go of her rein, then flipped my set over Inky's head and jumped on. "Let's go to Sterling- I think I saw Milly and Kale turn back that way after awhile." She nodded, then we whirled our horses in unison and thundered off!

Miley:
i heard hooves approaching me and Stardust and i took off from the Playa to Sterlings. my horse was one of the fastest around and since Syd wasnt on Sam i would most likely make it to Sterlings before anyone else. i kept my eyes on the trail infront of me. i heard Stardust's hooves begin to make a different noise. i looked down and we were passing over the highway and we were almost into Sterling's driveway. i heard a car coming up on the highway and thank god i made it into the driveway before the car got to close. i slowed Stardust to a stop and dismounted and led her into the stable ground tied her infront of her stall and ran outside to get Caramel, Mocha, Freckles, and Distant Night from the pasture that they stayed in over night. i led the four horses into the stables and put them all in stalls. i grabbed Stardust's leather halter and unsaddled her. i put the halter and lead rope on and crossed tied her. i grabbed her silk gold and black sheet, that said 'Burst of Stardust' on it in fancy lettering. i uncross tied her and led her into her stall. i went down the line of all my horses putting their halter's on and sheets that said their names. all my horses had the best. as i was taking care of my horses i was thinking to myself, how i was acting like a baby and running away from my problems. i was one of the strongest girls in my class and possibly in the county. i had to face my problems. i heard a car's engine and walked outside to Stone Ridge Ranch's truck. i opened the door and before i got in my mom and dad got out of the car.
"we need to talk sweetie," my mom said as she led me away from the truck with my dad beside me.
we walked away from the ranch and into the woods. we came up to a small lake and weeping cherry tree. we sat down under the tree and my parents talked to me about relationships and how they first met. Dad was older than Mom by about 5 years and when Dad had asked Mom to a picnic on horseback, Mom had yes. but she felt uncomfortable about dating someone older than her. after 4 dates later Mom had rejected and said that she felt wierd going out with someone older than her. so they took a break, but Mom couldnt stop thinking about Dad and she had gone back to him and asked for that 5 date again. when a month went by Dad had proposed to Mom, she had rejected again. she needed more time to get used to things. half a month later Mom and Dad were out riding their horses. both Mom and Dad had a box in their pockets. half way into the ride Mom said that she needed to ask him something, Dad replied i have something to ask you too, but you can go first. Mom pulled out the little velvet box in her pocket and asked Dad to marry her. Dad looked at her studying her. he asked 'are you sure about this? are you ready?' she said 'i am and i want to live the rest of my life with you.' then Dad pulled out the little velvet box in his pocket and asked her the same question she asked him first. and here they were married with 3 girls living happily ever after on the ranch of their dreams.
Mom, Dad, and i started walking back to Sterling Stables together. Dad asked the question that i had been wondering the entire time, "do you want to stay at Sterling?" "yes, yes i do. i have so many friends here and plus Justin will always watch out for me." i said nodding my head. "ok, Honey. we will see you a couple of days." Dad said giving her a kiss on the top of her head, then climbing into the Stone Ridge truck. Mom gave her a hug and climbed in after him. as they drove away i smiled and waved goodbye to my parents. i walked back into the stable and saddled up Rampage. i grabbed my lasso and hooked it onto my western saddle. i opened the stall doors with my horses inside and let them run out onto the trails. i trailed behind them on Rampage, inhailing the fresh Sterling air.

Katie: i pulled into my driveway just as a pickup embossed with the logo "Stone Ridge" was pulling out. So Miley had had a chat with her folks- i smiled to myself. that was a good thing. i got out of the car and went to look for her in the barn, where she would obviously go. however, upon entering, i saw that the ample block of stalls that had contained her many horses was empty, the stall doors flung wide. what had happened? the bridles, pads and saddles corresponding to each horse were still in the tack room.... and a long river of hoofprints ran out towards the back end of my property, where the trails took off. she did not do what i think she just did... grumbling, i bridled Tinker, slung a lariat over my shoulder, and trotted off after them. now, there were a dozen horses to catch before the BLM agent arrived. i urged my big horse into a gallop, and we fairly flew after the deepest set of prints.

Miley:
i heard hoof beats behind me and saw Katie galloping after me on her horse Tinkerbell. i eaved and looked infront of me to see Stardust in the lead of the herd. we crossed over a hill and came up to the small lake with the weeping cherrytree next to it where i had talked with my parents. when the horses infront of me stopped and dropped their muzzles to the lake i walked Rampage over to the cherrytree and dismounted and ground tied him. i sat down under the tree and watched my horses relax and get some exercise.
