Double Trouble

(Prologue)

Red O'Malley leaned back in his bed and sighed. He had a big weekend ahead of him. All the riders from both of the valley's Riding schools were coming together for the annual Willow Creek Trail Ride Weekend. As he leafed through Horse and Rider he thought about the weekend ahead of him and thought to himself,

"Things couldn't possibly get any more complicated."

"Famous last words," said another voice in Red's mind. Red Sat bolt upright, and reached out with his mind.

"Uncle Bene?!" he said

"Yes, it's me, Red," said the voice with a slight chuckle in it. Red smiled and reclined against his pillow again.

"I haven't heard from you in a while, how are you?"

"I'm just fine,"

"How are Tia and Tony?"

"They're doing fine. In fact that's why I called you tonight."

"Oh,"

"They're getting a little restless here on Witch Mountain and they wanted to know if they could come and spend a week or two with you?"

"Sure, I'll be glad to have them."

"Then it's all settled. We'll meet you at Eagle Crag tomorrow at midnight."

"I'll be there."

"Bye, Red, See you tomorrow."

"Bye Uncle Bene."

Uncle Bene hadn't anymore than left Red's mind when it dawned on him that by tomorrow all the girls would be there for the weekend.

"how am I supposed to explain this," he said to himself, " I can't just go up to Max and say, Hey Max My Extraterrestrial Godfather is bringing his Extraterrestrial niece and nephew to spend a couple of weeks here and I need to go up to Eagle Crag at midnight tomorrow to meet their Spaceship."

It was the one thing that no one except his parents knew about Red. Years ago Red's family had become friends with Bene of the Castaways. The trust between the two families grew and Bene Eventually shared with the O'Malley's the truth about his people. Bene became a second father to Red. They were as happy as Bene himself when word came that Bene's Niece and Nephew Tia and Tony had been found. Red, Tia, and Tony had become the best of friends. Bene had saved Red's life when he had suffered and severe head injury climbing on Witch Mountain, and to everyone's surprise the treatment had made Red a full telepath

Tony was a bit of a show off, but at the same time he was good hearted guy. Red knew that as long has Tony could control his temper that safe guarding their secrets would be pretty easy to do.

Tia was the more reserved of the two. Red knew that problem where she was concerned was keeping the boys -especially Scooter and Jake- from coming to blows over her. Because she was very pretty the last time he saw her so he knew that she must be a real beauty by now.

And what of Lisa Carole, and Stevie, the illustrious Saddle Club, no matter how much affection he had for them, he couldn't ignore the fact that they were the biggest busybodies at Pine Hollow.

This was definitely going to be a very interesting couple of weeks… to be continued…
