ANNE AND AMYBELLA WERE IN THE barn, when the girl told Anne about her conversation with Gilbert.
"You deserve better Bella. That's for sure." Said Anne and Bella sighed.
"Maybe.." she braided little pigtails into the foal's mane.
"I'm worried about Queens. Do you think I did it?" Abbe asked her and Bella answered with a laugh.
"You're the smartest girl I know Anne. They were stupid if they wouldn't take you. I'm more worried about me." Bella bit her lip.
"I'M IN!" She shouted excitedly.
"ME TOO!" Abne threw her arms around Bella's neck when they got the list.
"Diana, you're in too!" the three of them hugged each other.
"We're all going to Queens together!" grinned Anne and Diana's smile disappeared.
"If my parents don't kill me first. They'll never let me do this," Diana said sadly.
"I'll help you convince them. I come with you. Don't give them the power to decide YOUR future."

"IT'S NOT YOUR FUTURE, IT'S OURS!" Diana's father shouted, furiously. Diana stood opposite him, Bella next to her and her mother next to Mr. Barry, sniffling into a handkerchief, sobbing hysterically.
"If we had a son, things would be different, but we did not!" he turned to his sobbing wife.
"It IS her future! It's her LIFE! I-.." Mr. Berry interrupted her.
"And WHO TELLS ME THAT?! AmybellaMcCurthy?" He yelled at her.
"You've already sullied the Pye girl's reputation are you going to do the same to my daughter?" he yelled at her.

"It follows without question that Diana is obliged to marry well! After she finishes school she's gonna marry and you think if you.. ORPHAN, living in your parents' house and run around with the Blythe boy, HAVE THE RIGHT TO COME INTO MY HOUSE AND TELL ME WHAT'S BEST FOR MY DAUGHTER?!!" his face was red as a tomato when he threw his hands around furiously.
"Well what is best for your daughter is what she's trying to tell you. The fact is-.." Amybella's voice remained surprisingly calm.
"THE FACT IS! That who I am.. and what I want.. doesn't matter-.." Diana interrupted Bella, sobbing.
"OH! Enough of this. You have ONE JOB!" He screamed at Diana.
"One.. task in life and you WILL DO IT! You.. WILL BE FINISHED and then you can negotiate with your husband.. for whatever you damn-well want!" He finished and Diana started sobbing.
