Author's Note: Here is chapter 3 of the story and I will be a little delayed since school is here but I will update ASAP. Enjoy the story & keeps the reviews coming but nicely it's my first attempt at chapter stories so I don't know exactly what I'm doing.
Lightning made his way to his trailer "First one to California gets Dinoco all to himself…" He mimicked Chick's words with annoyance. "Oh we'll see who gets there first Chick…" he muttered under his breath.
Chick soon heard Lightning and snorted. I need to get rid of that kid so I'm one less competitor and then win Dinoco and the Derby Cup…. He smirked at his thought "And I know just who for the job…" He trotted over to the DRH's.
The boys were all leaning against the wall. Boost the leader was wearing a black coat with studded silver on it and his horse was black with even fancier tack. Wingo the second one in charge was wearing a green/purple tie die coat and a medallion with his albino horse by his side. DJ the music gang wore an out a rapper would wear with a radio by his side and a cherry bay horse. Snot Rod was the last one of the group. He was casually dressed but he sneezed a lot due to allergies and he rode a pony that got startled easily. Chick rolled his eyes and soon whinnied at the top of his lungs "Get up you four you have a job to do!" The DRH's all jumped up screaming but they soon calmed down when they saw Chick. Boost spoke up "Oh boss it's just you…We were afraid it was someone dangerous like a cop ya know?" Chick rolled his eyes and spoke to them strictly but it was a bit hoarse from his whinny "Will you shut up? Now listen up…That rookie's gotten good…too good and I need to get rid of him…" Everyone smirked but Snot Rod was confused "uhh…why are you telling us?" Chick banged his head against the wall then glared at Snot Rod "Because it's your job to do that you idiot! Now get goin the rookie should be leaving any minute…" They soon got on they're horse and Boost turned around to Chick "But what if he knows we're there…?" Chick had lost all temper and charged them and stop still annoyed "Will you just go!" Boots and the gang soon quickly galloped out of sight.
Lightning soon reached his parking number but didn't see his trailer. Lightning was more annoyed than ever.
Oh com'n! Now what? My trailer rolled to Miami? Why doesn't anything go smoothly anymore!
Lightning kept this thought in his mind and soon saw Mack at last "Hey Kid congrats on the tie…" Mack may have found it a thrill but he wasn't too amused. Lightning wanted to get to California now and get that Derby Cup & Dinoco. He soon looked at Mack "I don't wanna talk about it…Com'n let's go Mack saddle up! What'd you with my trailer? " Mack drove over to a small almost worn down barn "I parked it over at your sponsors…you gotta make your personal appearance…" Lightning had a terrified look and backed up "No…No…no, no, no!" Soon a commercial for the stuff he sponsors which is Konic. We soon see older dusty horses in the small sponsor barn. Lightning wasn't amused at all "Bleh! I hate dusty horses…this is not good for my image…" He looked away annoyed and disgusted at the sight of the horses. Mack soon spoke up "Well they did give you your big break and beside it's in your contract…" Lightning rolled his eyes and glares at Mack "Oh will you stop please…just go get hooked up…" And with that Mack drove off.
Lightning didn't want to encounter them so he decided to sneak past them. He went into the shadows and slowly sneaked past the horses talking. He only managed to get about 5 inches to his trailer till his hoof hit the side making a thud. The other horses all turned to see Lightning smiling nervously. "Hey look its our almost champ! Get on up here kid…" He slowly and nervously made his way past the other dusty horses "G-give me a little room guys…" He continued on his way till he saw a small dusty chestnut pony with a halter on a bit bigger than his size. He was excited to see Lightning and he just weakly thanked him then trotted away a bit quicker. "He knows my name!" Fred was so excited he jumped and his halter dropped again. Soon the flea bitten gray Missouri Fox Trotter spoke up " looking good Freddy! Thanks to Lightning we had a banner year…We might even get enough to buy him a halter!" Soon the little strawberry roan British Riding Pony spoke up "Are you saying he doesn't have a halter?" The Fox Trotter jumped in "Nope its just rope!" Lightning wasn't amused at that but tried his best to stay calm around them "Well you know Thoroughbreds don't need halters…because we have bridles…" Soon the little pony jumped in "So's my brother but he still needs a halter" The whole barn started laughed except Lightning. He soon gave a weak forced laughter then it settled down and a barn light soon shined on him. Lightning gave his speech "You know the Konic horse shiner team ran a great race today…And remember with a little Konic…and an insane amount a luck…You too can look like me…" He soon got into his show stance "Ka-chow…" The light soon turns off him and he backed up into his trailer. "Aw we love ya and we're lookin forward to another great year just like this year! " The fox trotter told him and Light just showed his blaze smiling till the door shut.
"Not on your life…" muttered under his breath and soon Mack came on his small tv "California here we come!" Lightning smirked "Dinoco here we come…" He soon pressed a button and a ton of lights came on in his trailer.
