Ashley had arrived the previous day at Broadview stables and found the surroundings a bit different then she was use to, but like anything or anyone adjustments would and could be made. She was not your typical girl that came to the academy, most had not known anything about horses, yet she had a wide range of intrest as well as intellegence. She had been around horses since she was very little and about ten years of working with horses with injuries and teaching them to trust. Yet it was horses that brought her to Broadview stables, just the same, an accident that would turn her world unside down, more times then one.
Ashley had spent the first day just wondering around the stables, checking everything out and taking notes. Maybe improvements or mental notes for herself. This place compared to her old farm her home, did not. This was much more ritzy and higher class, it would have put her farm to shame. Yet as Ashley found no one around she had returned the next morning and went to the farm house.
A light knock on the door as she had stood and waited for what seemed like a while. When no one answered she had felt the door knob to find it open. She turned the knob and poked her head in. 'Hello, any one here?" She called out, once, twice, three times before she had let herself in and shut the door but did not go any further.

Abby trotted into the stables yards on her horse, Withdrawal. Patting the horse on the neck, she slid down. Having not have worn a saddle, only the mare's halter to have something to hold onto to, her clean up wasn't that hard. Trying the mare to the grooming racks, she ran a brush over her. I'll be back in a few. She promised the mare. Leading her into her stall, she closed the door.
Stepping out of the barn, she walked into the sun lit out doors. Putting her hand in front of her eyes, she looked up at the sky. It was the perfect shade of blue. There were a few clouds in the sky, but not many. Dropping her hand, she walked towards her house.
Once she reached the door, she turned the handle. Opening it, she jumped a little when she saw Ashley. Closing the door behind her, she walked in. Facing Ashley, she stuck out her hand. Hi. You must be Ashley Collins. I'm Abby. Welcome to Broadview.

Ashley had been pacing back and forth waiting for someone to come in. Looking at pictures that lay on the walls and the layout of the house. When she heard the door open, Ashley too jumped back. She ahd gave a bit of a warm smile as she seen a girl walk in. Assuming this was Amy she had spoke up. 'Sorry for bargining in like this. Its nice to meet you Amy, Im Ashley." She said, extending her own had to meet hers as she had gave a bit of a warm smile.

As Ashley stuck her hand out, Abby shook it. Sorry for bargining in like this. Its nice to meet you Amy, Im Ashley. Oh its fine. Letting go of the shake, Abby walked further into the house. Turning into the kitchen, she called form inside, Do you want anything? I have soda, water, and tea. Grabbing a cup from one of the cabinets, she filled it with ice and water. Leaning against the counter, she waited for Ashley to say anything.
OOC: Its Abby, not Amy.

ooc:// Sorry
bic://
Ashley had looked to Abby and gave a bit of a smile, hearing what she had to say, that it was fine, but deep down, it felt somewhat strange to Ashley, just walking into someone's house. "Naw, I'm fine thank you." Ashley spoke slolwly moving foward and toward where Abby had went. Actually I wanted to talk to you."

As she told her it was fine just coming into the house, she saw her smile. She knew that it was a little weird but hey, if your students aren't able to connect with you, your in trouble. Also, she had the only good TV on the ranch and was constanly being bugged to let it be used.
Sipping at her drink, she sighed as the cool water slid down her throat. Naw, I'm fine thank you. She herd Ashley say as she walked into the kitchen. Setting her glass in the sink, she faced the girl. Actually I wanted to talk to you. Putting her hands on the counter, she leaned all her weight against it. What about? she asked.
OOC: Its fine.

Ashley had now begun to move forward more into the kitchen so the two where not so far apart. She gave a smile as she had entered the door. "Well I was wondering where I could house my gelding Breeze of Ireland, and well I was also wondering if you needed help around the stables." She spoke looking to the girl and riaising her eyes a bit. She was not the greatest with words. She knew what she had wanted to say but it normally never came out right.
Ashley had looked to Abby again and spoke up. "I suppose you know why I am here, cause you have to read everything, so you should know I have knowledge and talent with horses." She cooed and wondered what she herself would say. She understood if there where no stable hands needed. Yet she wanted to do something. Ashley hated just sitting around.
ooc:// Abby, also I cannot reply to the activity check, but I will promise to be as active as I can. I get nothing being shown as a button to reply.

Abby pulled herself onto the counter as Ashley entered the room. Scooting a bit, Abby found a comfortable position and put her hands on her lap. As she asked were she could keep her horse, Abby's eyebrows raised a little in surprised. Must have skipped over that part in her application. She thought. As Ashley asked about a job, Abby thought. At the moment it was only her and maybe Mick, and old friend of her brother's she helped also.
Before she could say anything to Ashley, she started speaking again. Abby nodded once she finished then spoke herself. Yes I know why you are here, and I know that you have knowledge of horses, she began then added to it. I just can't let you help out right off the bat though. I'll watch how you take care of your own horse and how you do, then I will decide. Hopping down from the counter, she left the kitchen. Come on. I'll show you were you can put your gelding. Walking to the back door, she put on her yard boots, then stepped outside. Holding the door open, she waited for Ashley.
OOC: I fixed it. you can reply now.

Ashley had soon heard the words in which Abby had spoken and well she did not like them at all. What Abby had said sort of shown a bit of disrespect of Ashley and her knowledge. As she had heard it she had to shake her head and almost wanted to ask Abby if she had heard her right. The words continued to play back in her head. Ashley had cleared her throat and had spoke up a bit, quick.
'Abby, I believe I heard you right, but why should I have to show you I can take care of my own horse, before you give me the opportunity. Don't you think I can take care of my own horse. He looks damn healthy to me. I think with my background in horses, heck I may even have more knowledge then you running a horse rehab center. I have nothing to prove to you, nor nothing I should have to show. "
Ashley had spoke and while she was speaking her voice begun to get more and more angry, demanding of the sorts, almost to the point where she was beginning to scream at the girl in front of her. Never had Ashley been so disrespected as she was right now, right here. Maybe she had thought wrong, maybe she was indeed better off back home, dealing with all her problems, at least there they did not disrespect her.
Muse:: Yup
Notes:: Little twist sorry.

Abby could feel anger and tension on the air as she waited for Ashely. As she heard Ashley clearing her throat to speak, she stepped back into the house and closed the door. Standing in front of the door, she listened to what Ashley had to say. With each passing word, Abby grew more and more furious.
As Ashley's tone rose so high that she was almost screaming at Abby, she broke. I will not be talked to that way! She shrieked at the girl. Balling her hands into fists at her side, she took a controlling breath. She would sink down to Ashley's level and start screaming at her as well.
Unclenching her hands, she crossed her arms over her chest. Closing her eyes, she opened them slowly. Sighing, she uncrossed her arms and started to speak calmly to the girl. Yes you did hear me correctly, but you took it in the complete opposite direction. I know that you are good with horses and I applaud you for that. I was not talking in the context you thought I was. I wanted to see how you took care of your horses so that I could see how our ways are the same and different. I wanted to see if it would be at all possible to mix our ideas of how to care care of out marvelous horses. Looking at Ashley straight in the eyes, she added a foot note. I met no disrespect to you, and I can see why you got all defensive. Hell, if I was in your position right now I would also. But I refuse to let any of my students talk to me that way. Turing around, she reopened the back door. Stepping outside, she looked at Ashley. Shall we go on?
OOC: Its fine. I like having random twists when i'm RPing.

Ashley had looked to the girl and she herself was not getting or backing down either, to her the fgirl insulted her and had every right to hear what Ashley had to say. Yet as the girl seemed to calm down a bit, Ashley did as well, but their was still that tention.
Ashley had looked to her and listened. Now feeling maybe a bit upset that she had overreacted, that she had yelled at the girl. Yet again though the girl said if she was in Ashley's own shoes she would have reacted the same way, so why should Ashley be a hint or a bit upset. To her she had alright, she spoke her mind when she wanted to or when she felt something was wrong, just another little flaw.
Ashley had soon followed the girl, speaking almost nothing as she had followed the girl out of the barn. "I guess I owe you a bit of an apology, for overreacting. Im sorry." Ashley said. As she had thought things through. Abby did not know Ireland's story, the horse her mother and her where saving the night she dies, was him. The way Ashley rode was different, because of her inguries. Would this girl accept any of it, it would take time and many Ashley not jumping to conclusions.

As Ashely walked past Abby, she shut the door. She leaned down and fixed her right shoe then tied the left. She hadn't been able to finish because of Ashley's out burst. Standing back up, she straightened her shirt then walked off.
Walking towards the barns, she pointed out places of interest to Ashley. Motion to the left of the house, she spoke. Over there you can find the girls dormitories. Her voice was bland and emotionless. She couldn't bring herself to let any emotion into her voice. She was still mad at Ashley for a few of the things she had said. Pointing back behind them, she motion towards the building behind her house. Over there you can find the boys dormitories. Girls are not allowed in the building after eleven and vise versa.
Walking towards the first barn, she stepped into it. Walking over to the only horse in there at the moment, she ran her hand down her nose. This is the mare barn. Behind it is the indoor arena. Giving the mare on last pet, she turned and left the barn. Turning, she headed towards the other barn. Motioning to the space between the two barns, she spoke. Down that path is the stable hand's living quarters. Walking past it, she headed into the other stable. Here is the stallion barn. You can keep your gelding in here, or if you wish, in the mare barn until the rest of our horses come back. Putting her hands on her hips, Abby looked at Ashley. As she spoke to her, the anger Abby had felt vanished. Apology accepted. she said then waited to here were Ashley wanted to keep her horse.

Ashley had not really known how to feel. She seemed like she was being dragged along for a long ride and it seemed not to stop. The tension created by the two girls could be felt and seen. So Ashley could feel it and this made her all the more uncomfortable. As they had ended up walking all around Ashley had nodded and then made her way to the truck and trailer.
Ireland's cries could be heard as she had begun to undo the trailer. "Shh it's alright boy." Ashley cooed as she had struggled with the ramp and got it down and then looked to Abby. "Can I have a paddock for a while. Ireland hates stalls." She had spoke as she had talked again to the quarter horse dun and began to untie him and walked him slowly down as he was now seen in him lime green attire.

The air crackled with all the tension in the air the two girls had made. Abby could tell the girl, Ashley, was uncomfortable. As she nodded, Abby just stood there. She could hear Ashely's horse in the trailer. His cries pieced the air and cased Abby's horse, Withdrawal, to wicker and whistle in return.
Abby watched Ashley head towards the trailer and start to undo the back door. She took a step towards the girl, but decided against it. Instead, she parted her lips into an 'O' and whistled. A rattle was heard in the barn then a black mare came trotting though the double doors. As she came trotting by, Abby reached up and rested a hand on her shoulder. The mare slid to a stop and Abby reached under the mare's dial and braided her hand into the horse's mane.
Once the ramp on the trailer was down, Abby clucked to the mare and walked towards it. Once the gelding was out of the trailer, Abby let her eyes wander over him. He was in lime green attire that stood out. This way. she spoke, answering Ashley's question. Clucking to the mare, she headed around the barn. Opening a paddock door, she let the mare loose in it. Lead him on in.

Ashley had listened and soon the pitter patter of hooves could be heard upon the asle way of the stables and into the yard. As Ashley had been backing her horse out of the trailer she saw the mare in return, standing next to Abby. Ashley had spoke quietly to Ireland as she had patted his neck and soothed him. She knew how he hated the confindments of a trailer or a stall for long periods of time.
His own body pushed forward as he nickered and his body quivered like an Arabian as Ashley pulled lightly on his lead and spoke to him. Ashley had nodded as she held the lead rope and started to move forward. Ireland at her side, pracing like he was in a dressage event. Ashley had mumbled under her breathe "show off." She spoke as she had stopped at the gate.
Ashley had looked to the girl as she had told her to release him into the field. Ashley had nodded and had dropped the lead line and Ireland stood ground tied as he nickered to the mare, who was not in the fields. Ashley worked and removed the lime green attire from his dun body and then let his halter off as she put the lead rope around his neck and lead him in. He spun around and came to Ashley, as she rose her hand and then dropped it to her side. Right away Ireland turned and ran off into the field.
