On A Trail Ride
Melanie is riding a paint horse and Julia is riding her buckskin Bella through a field.
"How are you feeling?" Asked Melanie.
"Good, I'm so glad I can finally ride again," Said Julia, happily.
"I know, but you need to take it slow," warned Melanie.
"I know mom," Said Julia slightly annoyed.
Melanie smiles.
"So How was the acting class?" Asked Melanie.
"It was okay...I don't know it was really different, I'm just not sure I fit in there. Heaven really likes it," Said Julia, unsure.
"Well just cause Heaven likes it doesn't mean you will," Said Melanie.
"It's weird, it's like hanging out with all the popular girl in my school with a twist because they're all nice," Explained Julia.
"Well that's a good thing, isn't it?" Asked Melanie, confused.
"Yeah, but I'm not the popular girl type, I'm cowgirl," Said Julia.
"So does that mean you don't want to do it anymore?" Asked Melanie.
"No, I'll give it another chance," Said Julia, hopeful.
"Are you sure?" Asked Melanie.
"Yeah mom, I'm sure," Stated Julia.
"Okay well let's head back, The Doctor said to take riding again slowly," Said Melanie.
"Okay..." Said Julia reluctantly.

In Town
Julia is walking down the street when her phone dings
"So what did you think of it?" Texted Heaven
"I don't know... I didn't really fit in there, they were really fancy," Julia Texted back.
"Well of course they are! It's a professional job, they have to be," Heaven texted.
"Yeah I know it's just... I'm cowgirl not a fancy type girl like that," Texted Julia.
"Julia they're all just people," Texted Heaven
"You're right, I'm going to give it another chance," Texted Julia.
"Good," Texted Heaven.
Suddenly an older man walks up behind Julia, and she starts walking away quickly.
"Julia Wait! I've been trying to find you," Said The man.
Julia stops and turns around.
"Why didn't you tell me about your acting?" Asked the man.
"I knew you wouldn't like it," Said Julia quickly.
"Why would you think that?" Asked the man.
Because it's not a thing people do around here, I don't really think anyone will like me doing it," explained Julia.
"Just because it's not a thing a lot of people do around here doesn't mean I'm against you doing it," Said The man reassuringly.
"Well it doesn't seem like that many other people like me doing it," Said Julia, defensively.
"You know my dad, your great-grandfather was a writer and an actor. You have always reminded me a lot of him," Said her grandfather, softly.
"Really I have?" Asked Julia, surprised.
"Yes you have, Now promise you are going to tell me about this from now on," Said her grandfather.
"Okay, I promise," Said Julia with a smile.

In The Kitchen of The Undergrove Farm
Julia walks into the house happily where she sees her parents talking.
"Hey!" Said Julia, happily.
"Well you're happy," Said Dean.
"I got to ride dad!" Said Julia with a huge smile.
"I heard," Said Dean.
"Did you also hear that great-grandpa was an actor like me?" Asked Julia.
"Yeah I knew that," Said Meline.
"I don't know if you're quite an actor yet," Said Dean, unsure.
"Well I'm going to be," Said Julia, confidently.
"Does this mean you want to go back to your acting school?" Asked Meline.
"I never quit mom," Said Julia, defensively.
"Okay," Said Meline.

The Next Day
Julia walks down the stairs wearing a silk blue button up shirt, black jeans and black leather jacket she walks into the kitchen.
"Well you look nice!" Said Meline, surprised.
"Yeah, I have my acting class tonight," Said Julia.
"Wait you do?" Asked Dean.
"Yeah I told you that, I have to go," Said Julia excitedly.
"She did tell us that," Said Meline.
"Bye, love you," Said Julia.
Julia walks out the door.
"Do you actually think this is a good idea?" Asked Meline.
"What is?" Questioned Dean.
"Julia being an actress...I just don't want her getting crushed," Explained Meline, worried.
"I don't either, but we have to let her follow her dreams. She'll be fine, she's strong," Said Dean, reassuringly.
"I know, she's still my daughter and I don't want her getting hurt," Said Meline.
Dean hugs Meline and kisses her head.
"Neither do I, but she wants to do this," Said Dean, softly.
