News Of A Competition
"I hope Risa will be okay." Brian sighed.
The next day at Fenton Hall, Brian was on his way to math class.
When he heard a girl's voice calling his name.
"Brian," the voice called out. "Brian."
"Risa?" Brian asked.
"Brian," the voice called out again. "Brian."
Brian then turned around.
"Hmmm, that's weird," Brian said. "there's no one behind me, Risa's still in her coma."
At Pine Hollow after school that afternoon, Jeanne, the youngest daughter of Max and Deborah had an announcement to make.
"Everyone," Jeanne announced. "I have an announcement to make."
"This should be good." Vera scoffed.
"Pine Hollow will be hosting its first ever competition!" Jeanne announced.
Everyone gasped out of delight.
"What kind of competion," Vera asked. "a dressage competion?"
"A jump off?" Sara asked.
"No," Jeanne answered Sara and Vera. "our first competion will be an o-mok-see with thirteen events!"
"An o-mok-see, how did you come up with that?" Katie asked Jeanne.
"I got the idea," Jeanne answered Katie. "from Risa and her circus family."
"I knew it," Katie said with delight. "I knew Risa was a good person!"
"That's what I keep telling everyone," Brian said in protest. "Risa is not a thief."
"We believe you, Brian." Jeanne said gently.
"Most of you believe me anyway." Brian sighed.
"I know I believe you," Katie said to Brian. "just forget about Norville and Vera."
Brian turned to Katie, "Thank you." he said gently.
"You're most welcome, Brian." Katie said.
"I don't know about you, Katie," Brian said. "but I could use a soda, do you want to join me?"
"No thanks, Brian," Katie said. "I think I'll take Comanche to his favorite place in Willow Creek."
"Suit yourself." Brian said to Katie.
Katie went into the tack room to fetch Comanche's tack, while Brian went into the lounge for his soda.
After tacking up Comanche, Katie went into the lounge long enough to fill her canteen with water for her ride.
