After a few hours, Ty was leaning against the paddock where Storm was locked up in. There was a party at the Barn, consisting of Amy, Lou, Jack, Tim, and Scott, as well as a few other people who he does not know of.

"Hey Ty." Lou said, walking over, Ty just nodded in her direction, "Was he yours?"

"Who?" Ty asked.

"The kid who was clinging onto you for dear life." Lou said.

"Oh, Jacob. No, he isn't mine. Those guys back there, they actually were my friends, Lou. They are like Sister and Brother to me, and those two kids, Jacob and Milly. I haven't seen them in ages. And, they think of me as an Uncle. And, I like it that way..." Ty mumbled, as this was the first time he ever pretty much opened up to anybody.

"Well, it's good to know you're happy." Lou said, patting Ty's shoulder, "I've gotta go find Scott. Promised him a dance."

Lou walked away, as Ty chuckled and sat down on top of the fence, with Storm behind him.

"Hey Bud, do you ever think about... Mom?" Ty asked, as Storm neighed, "I know, I know. I'm talking to a horse, who don't understand me. I mean, at all! But, you're all I've got, Dude."

The next day, Ty was sat around the barn, sitting on top of the fence of the other paddock, where Storm was in. Ty smirked, while throwing a apple high in the air, what Storm soon jumped and caught.

"Ty!" Ty heard Jack shouting his name. He turned round on the fence, to see Jake walking upto him, with Amy walking along side him, and stood with him where 4 people. Ty's closed people he knows, Lucas, Amelia, Jacob, and Milly.

Ty seemed confused, as he jumped down on the other side of the Paddock, as he hugged Amelia, then Lucas.

"Hey Guys..?" Ty said, as he smiled at Jacob and bent down infront of him, high fiving him, as he kissed Milly's forhead, "Uh, what-what are you guys doing here exactly?"

Lucas smirked, and patted Ty's shoulder, before looking over to Storm stood behind him. Who neighed loudly.

"Storm!" Jacob shouted, running upto the horse, trying to reach out to him through the gaps in the fence.

"Come here Buddy." Ty muttered, picking Jacob up and jumping over the fence, resting the young boy on his hip, who petted Storm, who neighed softly and nuzzled the young boy, who giggled and dug his head in the crook fo Ty's neck, "Hey Milly, want in?"

"Sure." Milly said, climbing on top of the fence, as Ty took her hand as she jumped down and stood on the other side of Ty and petted Storm, who seemed to recornise them as his first ever owners.

Ty put Jacob down, and stepped back, but still kept a eye on the two kids.

"So, uhm... never answered my question from before?"

"Well, we just brought some of you're old things..." Lucas said.

"After you know, we still kept you're stuff... hoping to run into you again. So, we decided to bring it." Amelia said, as Ty smiled.

"Thanks." Ty said, as he side hugged Amelia, and patted Lucas hand, as he then turned to the two kids, who was laughing and chasing each other around the paddock, "Come on you two! Calm down now."

Ty picked Milly and Jacob up and passed the two to there parents over the fence.

"Ty?"

"Gee, forgot you guys were there." Ty said, as he jumped back over on the other side of the fence, where Jacob did grabby hands at him, so Ty took him from his Mother, where he clinged onto his neck.
