Chapter Two

I saved my horse for last. My horse, I had gotten for my thirteenth birthday. He was a Thoroughbred/Arabian/Paint cross. He was sixteen point one hands high, a three year old gelding. He loved to run, and his favorite activity was jumping. My favorite characteristic about his appearance was his Paint breeding coming through his solid coat covering. He had a big white spot on his haunches, that made the first half foot of his tail white. The rest of him was dark chestnut. When he heard me coming with his food, he stuck his head over his stall door.
"Hey Rosco! What'cha doing boy?" He whinnied his hello.
"Would you like to come out for a while?" He nodded his head.
"Kay. Stay right there, and I'll be right back." I went to the back of the barn, into the tack room, next to the feed room. I grabbed his bridle, saddle and girth strap. I quickly walked back to Rosco's stall and got him ready. When we were ready, I led him out to the isle and mounted. I directed him over to the open barn door.
"Rosco, should we try checking the mail again?" He blinked and swished his tail. "Fine then." We went over to the mail box. I very carefully reached over and opened the lid. "Yeah! It's about time the mail came. I was about to go hunt the mailman down." I told Rosco. I flipped through the pile of envelopes, reading off the lables.
Mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, me, and me." I put the mail addressed to my mom back in the mailbox and tore open one of the envelopes addressed to me.

"Dear Maranda, This is your agent Ms. Davis. I am writing to you in regards of a company that sells clothes. They saw your picture the agency has, and they want you to be their new model for their summer line of clothes. Call me for more information. You have my number.

Sincerely,
Jessica Davis

"Don't scream, you'll scare Rosco. Open the other letter." I told myself, trying desperately to calm my stir-crazy nerves. I folded the first envelope and put it in my shirt pocket. I slowly looked over the second piece of mail. I looked at the return address. Tulsa, Oklahoma. I flipped over and tore it open. I frantically pulled out the paper inside and began to read.

"Dear Hanson Fans,
We are writing to all the members in our fanclub to please send a picture and description of themselves so we can see what some of our fans look like. We're just kinda curious.
Please respond soon.

Thanks,
Zac, Taylor and Isaac

"Oh my lord, this is the best day of my life!" I jumped off Rosco, looped his reins over a nearby tree branch, and went crazy. I jumped and spun around in circles, having a total energy attack. I paused and looked down the road and saw Cassie getting off her bus. Cassie was small for her age. People often mistook her for a ten year old. She was the shortest in her class, which made her angry. But her looks made up for her height. She had long sandy blond hair and sea green eyes. She was about four foot eleven, approxamately one hundred pounds. Very small. She got a horse for her thirteenth birthday too. It was a retired race horse. A Thoroughbred, sixteen hands, gelding, roan, with an upside down moon on his forhead. His name is Moonshine. "Cass!! Cass!!" I jumped on Rosco and galloped full speed towards her.
"Hi Maranda. What's up?"
"They sent us something!"
"They did?!"
"Yeah. They want a picture and description of us. Well, all the people in the fan club anyway."
"Oh my god! Lets go on a ride and talk this over."
"Good idea. Hurry up and get ready. I'll wait in the training arena."
"Kay." She dissappeared into our three story brick house.
