*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Jenny, Lindsey, Leelee and Catie sat on the ground in their small grove of trees near the lake. School was getting close to getting out, it was late April.
Lindsey sat digging her toes into the soft earth.
Jenny sighed. "Where's Sabriena?"
Catie shrugged. "I don't know."
"Well I'm gettin' sick of her always being late," Lindsey announced. As if in agreement, Mercutio stomped his hoof.
Leelee got up and walked to her horse – a beautiful black and white paint named Portia. She clucked to her horse and scratched her mane.
Suddenly, the sound of hoof beats could be heard and a small Arabian horse came galloping towards the group.
"There she is," Lindsey sighed.
"Late, as usual," Jenny added.
Sabriena clucked and urged Ophelia harder. She couldn't believe she was running late agin. She really hadn't meant to. Sabriena pulled up and jumped off her horse.
Lindsey stood up. "Where have you been?"
"I'm sorry!" Sabriena cried, "But I was shopping and I completely lost track of time!"
"Sabriena," Catie said in a warning voice.
"But there was a shoe sale!"
Leelee gave Sabriena a dirty look.
Sabriena shrugged it off.
"SO," Jenny interrupted, "Are we gonna actually do anything today or not?"
Lindsey turned to her. "Oh, yeah, sure." She flopped down next to Jenny and Sabriena sat next to Leelee.
"Remember what Trunks and Gohan showed us," Catie said, "Just calm down and bring out your energy."
The two boys had worked with the girls for over a week, trying to teach them to bring out their energy. However, it really wasn't working so well. Catie had finally been able to bring hers out, but it had exhausted her. Trunks had told them that now all they needed to do was practice.
"Ummmmmmmm," Sabriena chanted, crossing her legs in classic yoga style, her wrists resting on her knees, her middle fingers touching her thumbs. "Ummmmmm…."
"Knock it off," Leelee snapped.
Sabriena laughed.
Catie sat on her knees, staring at the space between her hands. Sweat ran down the side of her face as she concentrated. Slowly, a small orb of light began to form between her hands. "Look," she breathed, "I've got it."
Jenny leaned over, her nose practically touching the small sphere of light. "Ooh," she cooed. "Pretty."
Leelee sat back and crossed her arms, pouting. "I want to do it!"
"So try," Catie encouraged.
Leelee took a deep breath and set her jaw. She held her hands in front of her and stared at them. After about ten minutes, she finally brought out it out.
"Yeah!" Catie cried. "You've got it!"
Leelee grinned.
"Okay, okay, okay," Lindsey said. "My turn!"
By late afternoon, all five girls had managed to bring out their energy. Catie and Sabriena had sort'a figured out how to throw it at each other. Of course, the blasts were extremely small, but it was enough to stir up some dust and make the others jump.
"Now I get to learn how to fly," Lindsey grinned. "That boy had better teach me."
"He will," Sabriena assured her.
The girls mounted their horses and turned them towards the stables.
"Oh, Lindsey, I meant to tell you," Sabriena started, "When I was in town today, I came across this really good sale. They have prom dresses on sale."
Lindsey gasped. "Oh, my gosh! Prom's coming up, isn't it?"
Jenny slapped her forehead. "I completely forgot!"
Leelee grinned. "Well, we're just gonna hafta drag our guys along with us, aren't we?"
The other girls smiled.
Catie sighed, "Trunks looks so good in a tux."
Sabriena rolled her eyes.
"I can't wait!" Jenny grinned, bouncing in the saddle. Laertes turned his head and looked at her as if to say, "You've lost your mind."
"You're gonna break your horse," Sabriena warned.
Jenny shrugged. "Race ya to the stable!"
*~*~*~*~
The girls unsaddled their horses and brushed them. Catie went to tell her boss that she was leaving, but before she opened the door, she stopped. She could hear someone talking inside.
It was the stable owner and his daughter.
"Dad, you can't!" the girl pleaded.
"I don't have a choice!"
"But why?" It was obvious that she was crying.
"There's no money in horses anymore!" he shouted. "I'm afraid I'm going to have to fire everyone and sell off the horses. That's all I know to do."
Catie gasped and clapped a hand over her mouth.
"But, if there's no money in it, then what makes you think anyone will buy them?"
"I've already found a buyer."
"Well, then there's obviously SOME money in it!"
"I'm selling them to the processing plant in town."
"The SLAUGHTERER?!"
"Pet Food Processing Plant," her corrected her. "There's no one else."
Catie fell back against the wall, her arms wrapped around her stomach. She felt violently ill. Hot tears streamed down her face. *How could someone kill off innocent horses?* Without saying a word, Catie ran from the stable and jumped into her car with Jenny and drove for Capsule Corp.
*~*~*~*~
Okay, I think I'm gonna have the stable owner's daughter have a piece in this story. If anyone wants me to use you as her part, send me an e-mail with your name and tell me a little bit about you. missouri_cowgirl_03@hotmail.com Thanx!!
