M E L E N A [/font] she is the saint of all the sinners ![/color][/center] Eyes scanned the halls of Melena Estrella Redd's pride and joy while a satisfied smile rested on her full lips. This was it. This was all of her hard work, transferred into a home for her best friends. Granted, the workers and builders and "them people," helped quite a bit, but Melena didn't mentally credit them as she admired the stalls that the new horses would be assigned, once they showed up.
Speaking of which, how long long did it usually take for a stables to fill up? Melena had posted fliers in local tack shops, she'd passed out brochures to some of the horse people she knew, but she was sure Riverglass Ranch was still pretty unknown. She hoped with all her might that that would change soon. What was the fun in owning a stables if you were the only one who boarded there?
Well, now she was being over-dramatic. She had gotten some people that said they were going to bring their horses soon. She just hadn't seen them yet, so she was worried, even though it'd been less than a week.
Sighing, she laughed at herself. She was in a stables; why was she stressing over such thoughts? Giving one last look around, she strode down towards the end of the hall where she had put Janey. All the other horses were out in the pastures, but Janey seemed to be more secure in stalls, so Melena was only turning her out while she was watching them, just in case. The mare was sort of like a baby to her, weak and usually scared of the other horses. It broke her heart, and she wanted to help.
The stall door was pulled open with a groan, and Melena stepped in slowly, smiling warmly at the Paint. With her black and white splashes, Melena thought the name Oreo would have fit her better, but when she'd rescued her, her name has already been Janey, and she didn't want to start calling her something different in case she was used to and liked being called Janey.
The mare turned and looked over Melena, registered quickly who she was, and then sniffed her hand. Melena sighed, feeding her a small carrot she'd brought in with her. "How are you doing, Girlie?" She got a calm gaze in return, and Melena took that to mean "good," or something along those lines. Gingerly, she reached up to stroke Janey's face, her own eyes sparkling with delight. The worries of her stables being unsuccessful melted away as she bonded with her horse. It would all work out. There was no need to worry. Right?

breathing the sweet scent of horses :)
Flip, Flop, Flip Flop. The sound of those flip flop shoes echoed against the barn hall ways. She wasn't planning on riding today, so she had decided not to wear the black boots she usualy wore, not that she didn't love them cause she did but when it came to just walking around town or just visting Halli then thats when she wore topless shoes. Dressed in flare out wranglers, and a soft green tang top, her eyes fell over the stalls, some where empty some where full. Others looked like they weren't even expecting anyone to come. Honestly, Miley wondered if others would come, she wondered that alot.. Hoping she may be able to make a few new friends. After giving a few lessons out to the locals of the town, but really none of them close to her own age- hence why she didn't have alot of friends. Yea, sure she wasn't used to all the ladies in town knowing everything about her- well not everything, but from when she was here them knowing everything has been alittle werid, but it beats anything from back home.
Coming to stand infront of Halli's stall she gave a low whistle, and with that the mares ears where brought forward and she twisted her crown to face her. As she gave a snort of reorganization, Miley slowly opened the stall door and walked inside. Hey, babe she said softly, as she held out her hand. She had called her babe ever since way back when, call her werid but ever since she was just a foal she called her babe.. Shaking the memory off, she ran her hand along Halli's whithers..
You be glad you have company, babe.. Don't be like me, k? she spoke softly as her hands traced back to her jaw line, as Halli watched her, she couldn't help but hind a smile which played at the beginning of her lips, her eyes softened. No matter what the mood she was in, this mare could bring her out of it. Such a happy thing, always giving 100% and not asking for anything in return. Shaking her head, she wished she could be like that, then maybe she wouldn't have the one thing her parents hadn't given her- there attention. She new Shane had grown distant from them since collage- which he had left a year or two before she left home. And she really did hope it would make them see her more often, and she new that is what Shane had hoped for but no, they just went out with there friends more.. Like single couples do, meaning there married and have no kids. But when she told them she was leaving, they pretty much shoved money her way and sent her off..
Blinking back the hot tears ready to surface, she sighed and buried her head into Halli's mane, taking a deep breath she drew herself up. She was just being selfish. She had her moms looks, and her dads build but really she would trade it all for parents who noticed her... She even tried drugs and smoking in school but it didn't work- it didn't last anyways. She wasn't that kind of person to do that stuff, you could say Shane was there to make sure she didn't get into the wrong crowd, he made sure she would sit with him at lunch, everyone at that school new they where siblings- but not just siblings, best friends! A smile suddenly sowed on her face, her blue eyes lit up. No need for sadness when you had a great brother, even if he was 1,000 miles away.

M E L E N A [/font] she is the saint of all the sinners ![/color][/center] The air of the stall was calm as Melena continued to gently pet her horse, and she forgot about time and that horses needed to be fed (by Melena, since she'd yet to hire a stable hand). Her fingers reached up and combed through Janey's mane, which was a mixture of black and white, just like the rest of her. The mare stood still, letting Melena smother her in affection, until her ears swiveled around and she caught the sound of someone walking with noisy shoes.
Janey snorted and stepped away, not liking the sudden break of silence, but Melena muttered, "Shh," and didn't go to investigate until the mare calmed down again. Then she whispered a promise of her return and stepped back out of the stall, leaving a few extra carrot pieces in Janey's feeder as a treat.
Once Melena was out of the stall, though, she let a wide grin blossom across her face, her step becoming bouncy with excitement. Was this one of the trainers? Hopefully it was the only one whose horse was already here, she thought, and became even more excited. With two trainers, plus the other whom she'd talked to last night, Melena could start advertising her stables as a place for lessons and learning, as well as riding and fun. Suddenly her feet flew up and she gave a small, happy jump to release some of the building emotion that would otherwise come out as a scream. The future was now a bright and cheery picture that was identical to Melena's dreams.
Oh, but she did have to simmer if she was going to manage a normal conversation with this girl (or at least she was pretty sure it was a girl, though she hadn't seen anyone yet, just heard). She snorted at herself, then took a deep breathe and closed her eyes for a moment.
After managing to compose herself a tad more, she started walking again until she reached the stall that held the newest horse. And there she was! After only a second, Melena recognized the girl as Miley, the trainer who would be giving lessons here now. She had to work to keep her smile down.
"Hey, Miley!" Melena greeted, and hoped that wasn't too casual or friendly of a greeting. She normally wouldn't care, but remember, she didn't want to scare anyone off yet. That would be pretty bad. "I'm so glad you came. How are you?" Her tone was light and as happy as she was on the inside, but still not as over-excited as she had gotten in the hall. Still, her mind was blooming with what she thought would be the future of this new stables, even with only two trainers boarding there at the moment.

Turning around as she heard the voice, a smile crossed over her lips. Melena Redd stood there, a smile as big as the sun was placed on her face. Bitting her lower lip to hind a small chuckle, she blinked as she took in Melena, she hadn't really meet her yet- well over the phone alittle and a quick introduction when Halli had come, but other then that she didn't really get the real impression of her, and now well she was what Miley hadn't expacted, she had expected a professional, non-emotional female. One of those real strict ones. But this Melena, she liked alot better. So far she was laid back, and easy going- from what she had seen so far anyways. Hi, Melena! she said in her easy going tone- well her only tone hoenstly. She didn't know how people changed there tones, like for when they are angry or sad, or even happy. Miley had always suspected hers was the same all the time, cause yea..
Of course I came, you didn't think I wasn't did you? miley asked surprise lighting her tone. She wouldn't miss this chance, when she heard about the stanle first starting up, she couldn't wait to come and ask if they needed any help, as a trainer, or even stable hand. And she got to be a Trainer, not what she had expected leaving home. No, she expected to start out as someone low but now she was a trainer. Werid, per say. But amazing another way. Shiftign her eyes to look around for the first time she had since arriving, the corner of her mouth curved upwards. She hadn't really looked since she came, but the stable did look pretty good, if Miley could dream, and she did. She would say this stable would be full of horses soon. Which would most likely be amazing for Melena since she just got this stable started not long ago from her family if she was right.
You have done a great job with the stable, Melena she said returning her gaze back to Melena. Grinning, she wished she could do soemthing, maybe help get more people to come to the stable but how could she do that? All her friends back home perferred the real popular stables where famus people had there horses, none would move to a small town with a new beginning stable. Rolling her shoulders, she smiled again. Smiley Miley- something Shane always called her. She was always smiling as he said. Is there anything I can help with Melena? Other then giving lessons, you know? she asked, tilting her head alittle to the right, like she did alot as if she was thinking something over.

M E L E N A [/font] she is the saint of all the sinners ![/color][/center] Melena smiled and shook her head. Actually, she had been afraid that no one at all would show, but that was just because she was paranoid, and she wasn't going to admit that. So she spoke again, lightly, and suddenly felt like the bright smile on her face was going to become permanent.
"Oh, yes, of course I knew you would come. I'm just saying I'm happy that you did!" She bounced on her toes as if to confirm that she was happy about her new trainer's arrival. She swung her hands in front of her and intertwined her fingers, mainly so she would flail them up and do something stupid like scream for joy. Again, it was important not to scare anyone off. The idea made her giggle quietly.
And then Miley complimented her, and Melena bubbled in pride. Her confidence may have just poured out of her ears if she hadn't gushed, "Really? Wow, Miley! Thank you so very much! You're really nice." She couldn't think of what to say after that, but she wanted to hug the girl. No one had complimented her on the stables yet except her family, and it felt wonderful to hear it from someone else, especially since she hated most of her family.
"Is there anything I can help with Melena? Other then giving lessons, you know?"
Melena shook her head, but then paused to think. Really, there wasn't that much to do now except feed her own horses, and now this one horse, and let them out in the pastures, and muck stalls and all of that. Those "chores" were Melena's least favorite thing about horses, but she would have a stable hand soon enough, and she certainly wasn't going to pile anymore work than necessary on Miley's shoulders.
"I think I'm okay with everything right now, actually. My plate's not very full without all the people and that, so yeah. Thanks for offering though." Her voice trailed off and she looked into the stall, where Miley's horse stood. She wanted to reach out and pet the equine, but Miley was sort of standing in the way, so she just watched.
After a few seconds, she found herself wanting to go out and ride, just watching the horse. Venturing for a new topic, Melena asked, "Is this your horse then?" It was an "uh, durr," question, but she hoped by asking, she would get some info about it.

Smiling the sweet small grin she did when unsure of how to answer the next question she just waited, and as she had expected Melena went on to something else, the other question she had asked about needing to help. She was fine on it, not taking it the wrong way Miley smiled again, the smile reaching her eyes did funny things. Ever since she was a child they (being her parents friends) had said she had the prettiest smile, her parents had never noticed- thats what she guessed anyways. Alright then, I am sure more people will be coming shortly along with the rest of your stable hands, yes? it wasn't really a question but there she went with her 'yes' at the end of a question when she new the answer, it drove everyone crazy back home, and she was tempted to see if it did the same here? You could say she picked it up from hanging out with the horse people of her life. Shaking the feeling off, she lowered her eyes to her flip flops, she now she remembered what hoes she was wearing, and amost instiently a blush rose to her cheeks, looking side ways to her horse she sighed, she was just staring at her, waiting for attention. Like always.
And once Melena asked about her she couldn't delay it anymore, blushing again she side stepped so melena could get the full veiw of her buckskin mare. This here is my Halliujah Mah, or Halli, or even Mah for short she said a grin over her face, she could never stop smiling when she looked at Hallie, she loved this horse more then anyone in her life, and to be hoenst she didn't know what she could do without her, if something where to happen to her, Miley would just die. Shaking the feeling off she clasped her hands infront of her, and waited for Melena's reply.
