A/N: Here's act two, I realize I probably should've put more background info in for C.J. & Avatar, but I probably didn't for time. Oh, Chloe's line at the end is similar to what the stable manager at my old place said to me. But anyways, enjoy!

Act 2

As we left off, Emily goes inside and to lunch, she gets her tray with her choice of lunch; grilled cheese sandwich, salt & vinegar chips and glass of milk. She looks around for a table, she sees an empty seat at the table with Sarah, Alma & Molly, but Bailey beats her to it.

Bailey: Hey gang.

All: Hey.

Emily then sees an empty seat where Chloe & Zoe are, but…

Chloe: Oh sorry, this table's reserved for people who didn't miss riding.

So, Emily (feeling out in the cold), eats at an empty table with no one there, except herself.

Emily: (Sighs)

As she eats alone, Alma noticed Chloe reject Emily.

Alma: Hmm.

Sarah: What's up, Alma?

They begin to quietly converse.

Alma: Have you noticed that Zoe & Chloe are acting rude?

Bailey: What else is new?

Molly: They don't need to act.

Alma: No, I mean they're being really rude to the new girl.

Sarah: Yeah, I saw Zoe meanly snatch her helmet back as Emily was just picking it up for her.

Alma: I saw that too. And just now, Chloe said she couldn't sit at her table.

Molly: You're right. I saw Emily on the bus but didn't really say anything.

Bailey: I kinda wondered why we didn't see her at practice.

Sarah: I think she's just shy.

Alma: I read that shy people get their feelings hurt easier.

Sarah: I think you're absolutely right, Alma.

At that time, Avatar notices the other horses.

Avatar: Hey guys, how was practice?

Button: It went well.

Chili: How come you didn't show up, Avatar?

Avatar: Emily just wasn't in the mood.

Chili: Wasn't in the mood? What does that mean?

Avatar: I'm not really sure, but I was kinda looking forward to riding with her.

Scarlet: Well, she doesn't have to rush it; she can ride when she feels ready.

Calypso: Yeah, just be patient, Avatar.

It's then that the other animals enter, C.J. entertains Teeny with Looney Tunes impressions.

C.J.: (Chatters, singing as Foghorn Leghorn) Do-dah, do-dah! (continues singing) Oh, do-dah-Dane! (as Elmer Fudd) Shh, be vewy, vewy quiet, I'm hunting wabbits. Huhuhuhuhuh.

Teeny: (Chortling)

C.J. turns to Angora whom once again ignores him, then the cat leaves.

C.J. as Sylvester: Sufferin' Succotash.

Teeny: I don't get it, why doesn't Angora like C.J.?

Shep: Because Teeny, Angora has no interest in getting to know C.J.

C.J. normal voice: Eh, I kinda wanted to get to know her. She just has a needle up her butt.

Teeny: (Giggles)

As the day grows closer to an end, the gang is cleaning up some; Emily wanders around to do something but just when she thinks she can rake up…

Chloe: Oh uh, actually, I'm supposed to rake up.

So, Emily goes to muck out stalls, but…

Zoe: Sorry, it's my job to muck out stalls. So, you can just get your stuff and leave.

So, Emily goes to pack her stuff as the Stilton girls show off a smug to each other.

Both: (Cackling)

Zoe: What a sucker, I wouldn't be caught dead mucking out stalls.

Chloe: And I'd rather have head lice than rake up the place.

Both: (Laughing)

As the two laugh off, the others notice them once again reject the new girl.

Bailey: Man, you were right, Alma. Chloe & Zoe won't give Emily an even brake.

Sarah: I'm going to have a talk with them when we're done.

Molly: Yeah. Horseland is in need of new students, but by the way those two are, I wouldn't be surprised if Emily decides not to ride here.

Sarah: I don't want that. Hey, I got an idea.

She huddles the group together and whispers her plan. They break apart a second later.

Alma: All right, that sounds like a great idea.

Molly: Yeah, as soon as we're done, I'll go tell Emily…

Bailey: I'll tell Will…

Sarah: And I'll give Chloe & Zoe a piece of my mind.

So, the group gets back to raking and taking down jumps. As soon as they're done, they split up; Molly goes to Emily whom is packing up her stuff.

Molly: Hey Emily.

Emily: (Waves)

Molly: I know your name, but I don't think you know mine. Do you?

Emily: (Shakes head)

Molly: I'm Molly, pleased to meet you. (shakes hands with Emily) Look, I think you've just been having a bad day. But me & the others agreed to go on a picnic this weekend. Like to join?

Emily: (Nods)

Molly: Awesome, see ya this weekend.

Molly gathers her stuff also as she & Emily wait for the bus. Meanwhile, Chloe & Zoe are waiting for their ride when Sarah comes by.

Sarah: Chloe, Zoe, we need to have a talk.

Zoe: What about?

Sarah: You've been really rude & unfair to the new girl.

Chloe: She'll get off it.

Sarah: Don't you get it? You really upset her.

Zoe: It's not the end of the world. What do you care? It's not like you know her.

Sarah: Neither do you, and you didn't even give her a chance.

Just then, both the Stiltons' and Sarah's limos come by.

Chloe: Oop, sorry Sarah. There's our ride.

Zoe: Later.

The Stilton girls enter their limo as Sarah gets into hers. At that time, Emily & Molly get onto the bus.

Alma: Bye Molly! See you this weekend.

Molly: You too.

Everyone goes off in their separate ways as the animals watch.

Teeny: Ooh, I hope this picnic works well for Emily.

Shep: I hope so too, Teeny. For her sake.

Angora: Well, they can take care of her. But will someone please take care of this bird?

C.J. as Yosemite Sam: Ooh, I hates that rabbit.

That's when Bailey takes C.J.

Bailey: Hey bird, you shouldn't be out when it's so close to dark. Time to go back.

Bailey takes C.J. inside and puts him back in his cage.

C.J. normal voice: I'm with Shep; I really hope this picnic works for Emily. I hate seein' her so upset.

The weekend came and everyone comes to Horseland and starts tacking up, even Emily wearing a different shirt with Homer Simpson.

Will: Hey gang, good to see you all again.

Sarah: Yeah. This picnic should be great.

Molly: Oh Emily, love the shirt.

Emily gives a thumbs-up. As she's brushing Avatar's mane, Chloe notice Emily's too close to the horse's hooves.

Chloe: Hey, move back some! (pushes Emily a couple inches) 'Cause if you get stepped on, it's your own fault.

As Chloe & Zoe leave for the ring, Emily saddles Avatar, feeling hurt. As Molly frowns upon Chloe's insensitive words. Soon, everyone else made up of Will, Sarah, Alma, Molly, Bailey & Emily are saddled up and riding up the trail.

Avatar: What's Chloe's problem? I wouldn't step on Emily, not on purpose anyway.

Calypso: I know that, Avatar. But Chloe doesn't always think about what she's saying.

Avatar: So I've noticed.
