Dakota's Summer Page #6

teach you how to crochet?

No, I guess she never

really had the time.

A Half-Shoulder Stand,

the hand is inverted,

the left leg does the momentum.

Now come back down

into a Saddle Spin...

and a Scissors.

Attagirl.

I'm just a blue jean girl

pigtails and flip-flops

Right?

I didn't even put it in.

Wait. Hey.

I'm just a blue jean girl

Whoa, a blue jean girl

- There you go.

- Whoo.

What else could I possibly need?

I'm just a blue jean girl

pigtails and flip-flops

Running around

in cutoffs and tank tops

It don't take much

to fit into my world

I'm just a blue jean girl

pigtails and flip-flops

Running around in

cutoffs and tank tops

That's right, nice and straight.

Make sure you lock that knee.

You want that leg

as straight as you can get it.

And keep it centered

over the back of the horse.

I'm just a blue jean girl

Whoa, a blue jean girl

I'm just a blue jean girl

Whoa, a blue jean girl

- You're back.

- Yeah.

Well, how'd everything go?

Good.

Did you get to talk to Nicole?

Talk some sense into her?

Well, I drove in that direction...

but just kept driving.

Did a lot of thinking.

Thinking's always good.

You ever think about

how random life is?

If that bull hadn't cracked my ribs, I

wouldn't be standing here with you now.

That's probably true.

Then I thought...

life's not random at all.

It's not?

No.

The road leads you where

you're always meant to be.

For me,

that's here with the Sweethearts...

and you.

You better not be messing with me.

I never told you, but...

the two guys that dumped me

before ended up in the hospital.

I wouldn't dare mess

with you, Miss Madison.

I'll look out for you always

Seek out in my heart

I'll look out for you always

- She'll be comin' around the

mountain when she comes - Toot, toot!

She'll be comin'

'round the mountain...

Uh-oh. What's going on?

That's Ms. Judd's car.

Summer.

Summer.

Wait.

Wait, wait.

I can get away! Please!

We can go right now.

If we leave right now,

we can run away together,

and we'll never have to go and

they'll never know I was here.

- Please!

- No. We can't.

- I can't go back there.

- You have to be strong and face this.

Hi.

You didn't tell us that

Summer ran away.

You didn't ask.

And Summer, all that about your

family, all that was made up?

Yes, ma'am.

I'm sorry for lying to you.

Come on, Summer.

We have a long drive ahead.

- I'm sorry for your trouble.

- It's no trouble.

It's all right.

- But I don't wanna go.

- I'm sorry, but we have to.

Let's go. Come on.

It's all right.

- You just come on.

- I don't wanna go.

I know, I know.

- But you have to. You can't run off...

- Wait.

Thank you for everything

you've done for me, Dakota.

- I'll never forget you.

- No, this isn't the end.

We're-We're gonna talk and e-mail.

And I'll come visit you, okay?

Okay.

Come on.

Ms. Judd.

What if we raise her?

Is that possible?

Are you serious?

- We're very serious, Ms. Judd.

- It's true.

They adopted me when I was

three weeks old, and...

they're the best

parents in the world.

You're talking

a mountain of paperwork.

Interviews, months and months

of government bureaucracy.

But the short answer is...

it is possible.

Go on.

Oh, my goodness.

The gate's open. Out he comes!

There you are. Dawn wanted

me to give you this...

so you could wear it

right after the competition.

"I worship Dawn Morton,

greatest trick rider in the world."

And on the back:

"Dawn Morton owns Dakota Rose."

- There you go.

- Thank you.

See you in the arena.

Wow.

- I'll catch up with you.

- All right.

Hi.

I hope it's okay that I came.

Yeah, I'm glad you're here.

What happened

with that opportunity?

Oh, it didn't pan out.

Big surprise.

You're wearing the necklace.

Of course I am.

Look, sweetie.

I didn't like how we left things...

how I left things the other day.

So, I...

I just wanted to come

wish you luck riding today.

Thank you, Annie.

I know I did the right thing

giving you up all those years ago...

but... that doesn't mean

that I don't love you...

or that I can't love you.

So, uh,

I was kind of hoping

we could be friends.

I'd like that.

Yeah, me too.

- Mom!

- Hey, honey.

Hi.

This is my mom, Clara.

And this is Annie.

You have raised a

fine young daughter.

And you gave birth to a

beautiful little baby.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the trick-riding

championships are up next.

We've got the Sweethearts

of the Rodeo!

Would you like to come sit with us?

No, I just stopped by for a minute.

- It's real nice to meet you.

- Yeah, it's nice to meet you.

I'll let you two say good-bye.

You go out there and win today.

I feel like I already have.

All right.

Well, go get 'em!

Good luck, Dakota!

Come on, girl.

You got some riding to do.

It feels like I'm standing

here waiting for something

Feet on the edge and

I'm this close to jumping

I'm thinking about letting go

Sink or swim

'Cause how you ever gonna

know if you never begin?

So just dive in

Unbelievable riding

by the Lone Stars!

Great job, girls!

Well, ladies and gentlemen,

here they are, your cowgirls,

the Sweethearts of the Rodeo!

So reach for the sky

There's no time to waste

Just take my hand

Let's break away

It feels like I'm standing

here waiting for something

Feet on the edge and

I'm this close to jumping

I'm thinking about letting go

Sink or swim

'Cause how you ever gonna

know if you never begin?

Come on, Dakota. You can do it!

I know you can!

Now

Just can't stop me now.

Now

Hey

I guess everything

does happen for a reason.

I'll always love my parents for

raising me and loving me...

and putting up with all

of my bratty ways.

And I'll always love my birth

mother for having me...

and then being wise

enough to give me up.

Ladies and gentlemen,

this year's trick-riding championship

goes to the Sweethearts of the Rodeo!

Led by Isaac Benson, Madison de la Cruz

with a little help from Austin Rose!

Austin was right.

It's not about blood,

but It is about the heart.

Families come in many

shapes and sizes,

but the one thing they all

share is love and laughter...

and just being there for

each other forever.

Well, that's my story.

I'm Dakota Rose, proud member of

my very own uniquely amazing...

and still growing family.

Friends?

Friends.

If it hadn't been

for Cotton-Eyed Joe

I'd have been married

a long time ago

Where did you come from?

Where did you go?

Where did you come from,

Cotton-Eyed Joe?

If it hadn't been

for Cotton-Eyed Joe

I'd have been married

a long time ago

Where did you come from?

Where did you go?

Where did you come from,

Cotton-Eyed Joe?

He rode into town

and made me believe

He'd spent half his life

just a-lookin' for me

I thought he loved me

But boy, I was wrong

'Cause he had his fun

then we were over and done

Keep on dancin'

I'll tell you the tale

About a tall, dark fiddler

with eyes so pale

With a look he hooked

every girl in town

Makin' any other man
