Author's Note #1:

Having been through the first four episodes of the fourth season of "Spirit: Riding Free," I've decided to skip the 2-part finale, which is yet another cliffhanger, when Seasons 1-4 of the show come to DVD for the first time on June 5th, while holding off on the upcoming fifth season of "Spirit: Riding Free," which comes out on May 11th, so I can make this crossover story between the show and "Camp Lazlo."

Think of this as a fictional part of the season 4 episodes, set before "Lucky and Her New Family: Parts 1 & 2."

It was a peaceful day in Miradero. The sun was out, birds are chirping, and three girls were riding through the woods.

Those girls were the PALs; Pru Granger, Abigail Stone, and Lucky Prescott, riding their respective horses, Chica Linda, Boomerang and Spirit, whom Lucky urged to go faster.

When Lucky first came to Miradero, she started her new life as an outcast, a total fish out of water trying to adjust to her new surroundings. But it all changed for the better when she befriended Pru, Abigail and a buckskin stallion, whom she named Spirit, whose free spirit matches with Lucky's.

Since Spirit and Lucky became the very best of friends, you could say they were a regular "Beauty and the Beast."

Not far away, three animals were walking through the forest.

Those animals were the Jelly Bean Scouts of Camp Kindey; Lazlo, a fun-loving Brazilian spider monkey, Raj, a cowardly Indian elephant, and Clam, a pygmy rhino who has a way with words.

"This is just what we need, boys." Lazlo said to Raj and Clam. "A good old-fashioned walk through Mother Nature."

"But, Lazlo," said Raj. "Scoutmaster Loompus* told us that nature is not allowed in camp."

"Forbidden." Clam worded out.

"Being one with nature is part of camping, Raj." said Lazlo. "What could be more fun than that?"

"Horsies!" shouted Clam.

"Horsies?" repeated Lazlo, for at that moment, the PALs rode past them with their horses.

As he watched them disappear through the forest, Lazlo's face lit up. "Yucca! That's what Camp Kidney needs; horses!"

"Horses?" repeated Raj. "I thought you said being one with nature is part of camping."

"But if we ride some horses, Camp Kidney will have the greatest experience ever." said Lazlo, who then ran back towards the farthest part of the forest. "We gotta tell Scoutmaster Lumpus."

"But he will not approve of this, Lazlo!" Raj called out as he tried to catch up with his monkey friend, along with Clam, who added, "Horsies also forbidden!"

Meanwhile, Lucky pulled on Spirit's mane, causing the wild stallion to stop, while she looked back.

"Hey, why'd you stop?" asked Pru.

"I thought I saw something." said Lucky.

"Like what?" asked Abigail.

"I don't know." said Lucky. "I think there was a monkey, an elephant, and a...rhinoceros...wearing scout uniforms."

Pru laughed. "Animals in scout uniforms? I'll believe that when I see them."

"If I do see them," said Abigail. "I'd like to keep one as a pet."

Boomerang whinnied worriedly, fearing he might be replaced.

"Aw, it's OK, Boomerang." said Abigail as she hugged her horse. "No one would ever take your place in my heart."

Boomerang whinnied again in relief.

"Still, I could've sworn I saw..." Lucky began before Pru cut her off, saying. "You're probably imagining things, Lucky. Now, come on. Race you back to Miradero!"

"But I wasn't..." Lucky began once again, but she let out a defeated sigh as she watched her friends get a head start.

While looking back at the forest, she said to herself. "I knew I saw some animals wearing scout uniforms."

Then, Lucky and Spirit rode off to catch up with their friends.

Author's Note #2:

*-I had to change the scoutmaster's name by adding in two O's to make it sound like "Loom•pus" since it's always mispronounced throughout "Camp Lazlo."

I hope some of you will understand.
