Preparation Image 1 - Finding Out

----

Naomi was standing in the pasture, stroking Oceana when her phone suddenly pinged. The Australian Waler mare snorted softly, flicking an ear at the cell phone's sound, she didn't spook for the mare was quite calm, totally bombproof as you would say. Naomi sighed gently, slowly letting out the breath that she was just holding. She was glad that Oceana had remained calm and didn't take off. She chided herself for having her ringer on, she should had set it to vibrate, or better yet, silent. None the less, the teenage unlocked her screen to see what had set her phone off.

"Hm...what's this?" Naomi said softly to herself as she opened the email that had randomly been sent to her. She read over it a few times, her face was absolutely stunned. "Wh...wh..whaaat?" She said in disbelief. The email was an invitation to go on a great big horse trek across the world. It said that participants would be starting in Europe and going through as many countries as possible, touring the various cultures and going on fun and educational adventures. "Holy cow...this is absolutely amazing. I've got to call mom! Oh my god, I've got to tell Ash and Stacy!" She said and hurried out of the pasture, heading to the stables. A grin was displayed upon Naomi's face though she tried to contain it the best she could.

As Naomi entered the stable she glanced around the various employees working through the stable, soon spotting Stacy over by Grenade's stall where she was grooming him. Naomi headed over to her, "Stacy!" She called, raising a hand with a large smile on her face.
"What's up there sunshine?" Stacy said as she seen Naomi. The young woman smiled softly as the teenager came to a stop near her. "Now you're grinning more than you usually do. What's that about?" Stacy asked, raising a brow. She had noticed that Naomi was much happier than usual, she must have gotten some good news or something. Perhaps she had found herself a little boyfriend, Stacy wrinkled her nose in a smile at the thought, but turned her attention back to Naomi awaiting an answer.
"Welllll.....since you ask. I was sent an invitation to ride around the world!!!" She squealed, trying to contain her excitement. Grenade snorted and stamped a hoof, looking at the girl and giving an annoyed huff. Naomi looked to the stallion and rolled her eyes softly. "Oh you should be proud of me Grenade, or at least happy with me." She said laughingly, looking back to Stacy. "It's called the Grand Horse Trek." She spoke again.
"Oooh! That sounds interesting!" Stacy said, patting Grenade's neck. "Ya little bugger..." She muttered softly to him before looking back to Naomi. "That is definitely awesome! Have you talked to your mom yet? I mean not to be rude or anything, but you are just a teenager. Will your mom be okay with you doing this?" She asked, hoping not to crush the young girl's spirit's too much.
And though she tried, Naomi could not hide the disappointment in her face as Stacy spoke. "I haven't called her yet, I was planning on calling her and then I seen you and decided to come over....I know, and I understand what you mean." Naomi said with a sigh, glancing down to the ground. Grenade nickered softly and nudged the girl, blowing on her arm gently. Naomi gave a half smile and stroked the stallion before speaking again. "I hope she let's me go, this would be such an educational trip. I would learn so many things!" Her eyes began to glow again at the possibilities.
"Well, then you must be on your way huh?" Stacy said "Go give your mom a call and let me know what she says." Naomi then nodded and waved before turning and taking off to the upper level of the stable, the staff lounge. Meanwhile Stacy went back to grooming Grenade.

Naomi headed up the stairs and into the lounge, a few other staff were in there hanging out. She waved to them and greeted them before taking a seat and phoning her mother. "Hey mom....yeah I'm good, I actually have something to tell you!" She said excitedly. "I got an email today, and it was in invitation to an event called the Grand Horse Trek, which I can forward to you by the way." She spoke, now heading over to her locker to grab her computer. "I'm getting my computer now, I'll send it over as we speak. But anyways, it's going to be  a world wide ride that starts in Eur-......yes mom world wide, as in not in America....I know I'm only 15...but mom." Naomi sighed softly sitting back down with the laptop, she rubbed her temples listening to her mom on the other end."If you would let me finish mom...I was going to say this would be an amazing educational opportunity. I would get to see how these cultures interacted and worked and how the people lived there. Maybe we'll stop in Sweden and I can see Vitkor....yes I know he's with him....you said he was better now...the others get to talk to him!" Naomi said, starting to get frustrated with her mother. 

After an almost hour long conversation with her mother, Esmeralda had soon decided to allow Naomi to accept the invitation to the Grand Horse Trek, and bring Oceana along as her mount. The two would be touring Europe together and might even be reunited with her father and brother for a short amount of time.
