I drove into the driveway of Silver Lake and took a huge breath. I'd finally moved from home, and come here. I hoped it was going to be everything I thought it would. I turned off the engine and whipped my head around to peek inside the float that I towed behind me. Jed's chestnut head was just visible through the dirty window. I sighed. I really had to wash my car... Opening the door, I grabbed a small bag out and wandered towards the float. "I'll be quick, Jeddy boy," I cooed to him. My gelding stamped a hoof and returned to munching the hay suspended in his hay-net. I smiled and slipped my keys into my bag, then walked up to the front office. Walking in, I ambled right up to the front desk and waited patiently. Lucky for me, Jed was a good traveller, and he'd be content to stand in the float for a while without getting frustrated.

I smiled to Sam. "Hi there. I'm Mandy Nicholson, I'm here about boarding and taking lessons here?" I hoped that there were some papers or something already come through, otherwise they'd got lost and Sam would have no idea who I was.

I grinned. "Awesome," I said, following her. "Thank you, by the way," I added. I was always forgetting my manners, especially where I most needed them.

"Thanks!" I said happily. I was glad that I'd have a roomate, it wouldn't be so hard adjusting with someone to talk to.

"His name's Jedediah Storm, or Jed for short," I said, smiling to Sam.

I grinned. "Thanks," I said to her. "Um, is there any particular day that you run lessons on?" I asked. I wasn't sure if there were actual structured lessons here, or if you just rode whenever you wanted without taking lessons from an instructor.

"Oh okay," I said, now that my question had been answered. I had a sudden idea; since I knew that Jed would want some time to stretch his legs after the ride over here. "Would it be okay for me to join in this afternoon?" I asked Sam hopefully.

I laughed. "Oh, well in that case I guess I'll be there," I said, grinning. "Would I be able to go and get Jed settled in now, and unpack and stuff?" I asked Sam. My gelding was patient, but I didn't want to keep him waiting unessecarily. "Oh, and where will the lesson be held?" I asked her.

I smiled. "Okay, well thanks!" I said. "I guess I'll see you at the lesson then?" I smiled and gave a little half wave, then walked back outside to the float to get all my stuff and Jed.
