Summary: Aubrey Shepard is leaving for college, but her sister Bethany doesn't seem quite as excited as Aubrey is. It's the day before Aubrey's departure and she's playing Scrabble with Bethany. However, she is very distracted and Bethany is disappointed. As Aubrey finishes up her last minute packing and looking for her car keys, she finds a letter from Ashburn College announcing that she is no longer "elligible" to attend. Aubrey talks to Bethany and Bethany points out that Aubrey has been so preoccupied with college plans that she has run out of time to spend with her sister. She took her keys and wrote the letter to keep her home. The next morning, Bethany is nowhere to be found, so Aubrey leaves without saying goodbye. As she's driving down the road, Bethany suddenly appears beside her! Aubrey is angry, but at the same time, the car sputters and the engine dies. Aubrey and Bethany go back to the Timothy Center where Aubrey unpacks. She decides to stay home with her family and earn money before going to college. However, Ben points out that as Aubrey prayed about college, God pointed her to Ashburn and she should follow through. He shows Aubrey her old rocking horse and explains that God put Aubrey at the Timothy Center for a time of growing, but now it's time to move onto the "real horse." Bethany helps Aubrey re-pack and Aubrey assures Bethany that there is no one else in the world who can call herself Aubrey's sister.
