Hey all! Its me, Jarethcat. I have been away so long that I have forgotten my account information even for my email, so I created this new name for myself. I am trying to go through and make my stories better and stronger for everyone. I have a muse now! :) I hope you don't hate me for all the changes though! I was a very juvenile writer and I have grown and matured after Finishing Strongly. This is meant to be the next episode in the series of the TV show, not the books.I do not own The Saddle Club, but please enjoy! Sorry that this chapter is so short. I plan to make the others longer, I promise! And they wont be centered around my author's notes either :P

Previously on Saddle Club:

"Would you like to go on a picnic with me Veronica?" Scooter asked.

"I might let the saddle club in, if they beg." Veronica said to Garnet trying to hold back the tears.

"How long have we got, Max?" Lisa meekly asked

"Three weeks at best…" Max said downheartedly.

"It is a bit of money, but I am afraid it won't save us from the banks. Pine Hollow is going to have to close." Mrs. Reg said.

"It's worth Scrillions," exclaimed Phil.

"Then, kiss me stupid!" Veronica said to Scooter.

Inserts theme song here

Everyone was joyfully cheering that Pine Hollow was saved and they wouldn't have to find boarding for the horses elsewhere. Or leave each other's company that they had all grown accustomed to.

Crowding around Veronica, the savior of the stables, it was hard to hear with everyone speaking at once.

"Veronica, you're a hero." The Saddle club said at the same time.

"Well, I do try to do what I can do." Veronica very smugly replied looking over to Scooter to see his reaction.

"So, where did you find that?" Carole asked pointing at the old stamp.

"Well," Veronica began, "I found it. It fell out of one of the older books there." She simply turned and pointed to the book that Carole had almost accepted for less value than it was worth.

"That's so amazing!" Lisa exclaimed.

"Veronica, you saved Pine Hollow!" Stevie cried out.

"Well done Veronica." Drew chimed in.

Mrs. Reg chose that moment to step in and say that she was buying drinks for everyone at Jb's Diner. Everyone cheered and loaded up into the vans so they could celebrate. Talking about what a wonderful day it had been.

Later that evening:

"Kristy, wait up." Red walked briskly towards the blond girl as she opened the passenger's side door to get into her mother's car and go home for the day.

"Yes, Red?" Kristy asked turning from the car door and shutting it for some privacy from her mother.

"Well, I just wanted to say, that is, I just want to tell you that…I'm glad that Pine Hollow isn't closing." Red explained.

"Me too, Red, me too. I'll see you tomorrow then?" she asked half disappointed especially after their brief moment together earlier that day.

She no more than had the car door opened when Red grabbed her hands and placed them in his.

"Kristy." This was the only word spoken as he leaned in and gently brushed his lips to hers.

Kristy couldn't believe that Red actually was kissing her. It was nothing like she had imagined before.

After a honk from Kristy's mother, they broke apart from their kiss and Red smiled at her.

"Tomorrow." He whispered in her ear.

Kristy smiled and nodded in confirmation as she hoped into her mother's car, anxious to tell Veronica, hoping that the fight they had earlier that morning wouldn't hinder the gossip that her long time crush had finally kissed her.
