Lisa Atwood slammed the car door. It was a sunny August afternoon, and the weather was the nicest it had been all summer. She walked over to a building-no, a stable-and looked at it. "Oh, Mom, it's beautiful!" Lisa cried. Her mother, who was beginning to emerge from the car, rolled her eyes. "Lisa, I told you we could check the place out. That doesn't mean I'll let you join!" But Lisa didn't hear, as she was running into the stables. Her mother sighed and followed her.

Mrs. Atwood found Lisa by a stall that contained a small, fat pony. "Mom, isn't he gorgeous!" Lisa cried. She excitedly read his nameplate. "Red Rover. Huh. What a beautiful name!" she grinned. "Lisa, CALM DOWN!" Mrs. Atwood cried. She was then tapped on the shoulder. She whipped around. "Oh my-umm, I'm sorry for the outburst!" she muttered. The man who had tapped her smiled. "Oh, a little screaming never hurts anyone! I'm Max Regnery." He extended his hand and Mrs. Atwood took it. Lisa tilted her head curiously, and then smiled. "Hello! I'm Lisa!" She raced over to Max and grinned. "Oh, hello Lisa." Max looked at Mrs. Atwood. "Is she your daughter?" "Y-yes." "Are you signing her up for lessons?" Mrs. Atwood looked at Lisa, who carried the Devil's Smile. "Why, yes," she said. "Yes I am."

Lisa brushed Red Rover. She had been assigned to ride him, and she wanted him to be as perfect as possible. As she went to put his brush away, she bumped into a girl. "Oh! I'm sorry," Lisa said. The girl glared at Lisa, and then lightened up. "No worries. I'm Veronica DiAngelo. You've probably heard of my father, Paul McCartney DiAngelo," she smirked. "No, I haven't." Veronica groaned. "Well, you have now!" She looked at the brush Lisa was holding. "So, you have Red Rover?" "Y-yes, I do. He's actually more annoying then I thought!" Veronica smiled as she removed a small pill from her pocket. "Well, that can be taken care of, for a price."

Stevie Lake and Carole Hanson yawned. Max was explaining how to feed your horse 100 different ways, and the whole class was falling asleep. Carole turned to Stevie and whispered, "You wanna skip class? We can see what Veronica's up to." Yes people, Veronica skipped class too, but was that expected or what? Lisa didn't have to go today, as it was her first day. Stevie grinned and nodded. When all was clear, the pair tiptoed out of the room and into the stall room.

Lisa and Veronica were in Red Rover's stall. "Veronica, I don't think…" "Shut up! You want Red Rover to be PERFECT, don't you?" She shook up a small bottle. Carole and Stevie heard the two talking and crept up behind the door. "Well, yeah, but not with the help of steroids!" The pair gasped. Veronica dropped 14 pills into the bottle. She raised it up to Red Rover's face. "Tilt his head back!" Lisa shivered. "N-no!" "WHAT?" Carole and Stevie burst the door open. "She said no! Veronica, how the heck did you get those?" Stevie asked angrily. "Why should I tell you, you dirty lower class rut?" Veronica spat. "BECAUSE OF WHAT I'M ABOUT TO DO TO THAT FAT LOOK OF STUPIDITY ON YOUR FAT, STUPID FACE!"

Stevie punched Veronica in the nose. Veronica, her nose bleeding all over her new jacket, bit Stevie's hand. As the two continued fighting, Carole grabbed Lisa's hand. "C'mon, you don't wanna get in trouble on your first day, do ya?" The pair ran out to the ring, where Kristi, Veronica's best friend, was riding her horse Virgo. As they lay on the fence, they breathed heavily. Kristi and Virgo trotted over to them. "Hey, Carole, what are you doing with the new girl, practicing dressage?" She cackled somewhat evilly. Hey, she is KINDA evil! Carole glared. "No, but your pal Veronica was trying to give Red Rover pills!" Lisa piped up. Kristi gasped. "Seriously?" The two nodded. Kristi ran to find Veronica.

Carole turned to Lisa. "You shouldn't have said that. Now Stevie will get in trouble!" Lisa gasped and looked down. "I d-didn't think about that…" "You don't seem to think much, do you?" She tapped on Lisa's forehead. "D'you even have a brain in that cruddy head of yours'?" she screeched. "Hey, my head is just fine! You need to have an attitude adjustment!" Lisa yelled back. Carole turned away. "To think I was going to make you part of our gang." She ran to find Stevie, leaving Lisa alone once more.
