Darien stared at the computer screen.

Lost: "found"?
Andrew: yeah!
Lost: *thinks* I don't know…
Andrew: ok…so you're not so smart…she was lost…but now she's found…

Darien thought for a minute, then it clicked in.

Lost: who did you find…Serena?
Andrew: BINGO!
Lost: *falls off chair* you found her? Where is she…wait…where are you?
Andrew: you remember how I signed up for that exchange student?
Lost: yeah…I know that you got accepted…
Andrew: I'm in a little town… so small it is… *laughs*
Lost: I remember.
Andrew: well this morning, I saw Serena.
Lost: where is she?
Andrew: sitting beside me…
Lost: L that's not funny…
Andrew: I'm not joking!
Lost: you're not…are you?
Andrew: I told you! She's right here!
Lost: how is she?
Andrew: one word… lost
Lost: her too?
Andrew: yeah.
Lost: how does she look?
Andrew: hot…I'm not joking…

Mina screamed, and Luna ran in.
"What is it?"
"Serena!"
"Where?"
"In Texas!"
"How do you know?"
"I'm talking to her!"

Moon Bunny: is 2 weeks good for you?
Venus Princess: yes! Luna says hi…
Moon Bunny: hello my kitty…I miss you.
Venus Princess: she misses you too…she's uh…yelling at you now.
Moon bunny: I wouldn't doubt it…
Venus Princess: so? Do you know anyone there?
Moon Bunny: besides Emma, Savannah, Cal and Grady? I know Andrew.
Venus Princess: you mean…
Moon Bunny: the one and only

Serena glanced at Andrew. He was talking to someone, and forgot all about her. She smirked.
He's probably talking to a girl…
Serena made plans, and wrote down all of the information as she was going. The warning bell ran.

Moon Bunny: I have to go now… classes *hugs*
Venus Princess: Ok! I'll see you soon! *hugs*
Moon Bunny: wait…I've got a spare…but I have to get something to eat…
Venus Princess: *laughs* ok! I'll talk to you later ok?
Moon Bunny: yeah!
Venus Princess: don't tell Andrew that I'm coming out there. I want it to be a surprise.
Moon Bunny: ok.
Venus Princess: Good-bye!
Moon Bunny: Bye!
Venus Princess: WAIT!
Moon Bunny: what?
Venus Princess: where are you going?
Moon Bunny: into town.
Venus Princess: you have a car?
Moon Bunny: nope! I rode to school…
Venus Princess: what do you mean…rode?
Moon Bunny: well…ttyl!

Serena logged off of the computer.
"I'll see you later Andrew…"
"Hmm…"
Serena shook her head and walked out of the library. She was in such a hurry, that she didn't see the person walking towards her. She bumped into them, and both of their books spilled on the floor. Serena landed on her bum, looking at the other person.
"Oh! Sorry!"
"Excuse me!"
Serena remembered that voice.
"Molly?"
The girl looked at Serena.
"Serena?"
The girls got up off of the floor and hugged.
"It's been a couple years!"
Molly nodded.
"That it has! What are you doing here?"
"I'm an exchange student. You?"
"Living with my mom. We moved here…"
They bent down and picked up the spewed books and papers all over the floor.
"Oh my! This is a great surprise!"
"We have so much to talk about!"
"I'm hungry. Do you have lunch right now?"
"No…I have a spare. You?"
"Same."
"Then let's go out for something to eat…"
"Sure!"
Serena walked to her locker, and put her books in.
"I love what you did with our hair!"
"Thanks! You too!"
Serena noted that Molly had put in blond streaks.
"So? Where do you want to go?"
"I have no clue…"
"Ok…I'll take you to this cute little spot. How'd you get here? Car, or mount?"
"Mount. You?"
"The same."
"Well… let's go!"
Serena took out her hat, and placed it on her head.
"Wow…you've been here for a couple days, and you're already a Texan!"
"You got it partner!"
They burst out laughing, as they walked through the door to outside of the school. Molly and Serena rounded the corner, to where all of the horses were tied.
"So…who's horse did you borrow?"
"I didn't borrow. They bought me one…"
"Really? That's way cool."
Serena walked towards Guardian, and Molly walked towards her white horse. They mounted, and began to ride.
"That's a nice horse…"
"Thanks! Her name is Frost. What's your?"
"Guardian…"
"She looks fast, but Frost is the fastest in the school. Once a week, everyone brings their horses and we all have a race out in the huge open field. I've won 5 weeks in a row…you should enter."
"Maybe…when is it?"
"On Wednesday."
"Where do I sign up?"
"In front of the office."
Serena knew that she'd enter. Molly took her to this cute restaurant, like she said, and an hour later, they were both full. Molly looked at her watch.
"Shoot! We have 15 minutes to get back to school!"
They both ran towards their horses, and climbed on at the same time.
"We're going to have to ride hard to get to school on time!" Molly said.
"That's ok. Classes start in 20 minutes…"
"Yes but it's a 30 minute ride!"
"Well…we'd better go!"
Molly kicked Frost into a rot, and Guardian followed without a nudge from Serena. They rode head on towards the school. The warning bell rang.
"Dammit!"
Molly spurred Frost into a hard gallop. Serena did the same, knowing that her horse would jump at the chance to go faster. The school was within reaching distance, and the students outside turned to watch the two thunder in, and jump off. Once the horses were tied, they ran into the building, and just made it in time for last class. Emma waited for Serena outside the class.
"Hurry! We've got like…nanoseconds until we're late!"
They slipped into the class, as the teacher was just about to close the door.
