On Saturday Grandmere and a bodyguard showed up with her limo at Mia's apartment. Mia got in and gave the driver instructions to Michael's apartment. When they arrived there, Michael came out of the building and climbed in, greeting Grandmere and Mia as he did. Grandmere glared stonily at Mia but she didn't look at Michael, resolutely staring at the windshield.
When they arrived at the stables, Grandmere explained that the prime minister had called and was unable to make it, but that it had been too late to cancel the ride.
They mounted their horses and rode off. The ride was going splendidly. Mia gave her elegant chestnut mare a pat on the neck. She liked riding and was glad Michael had come too.
Suddenly, disaster struck. A chipmunk ran out of the woods and under Grandmere's horse's feet. The horse, startled, reared up and took off, galloping at top speed, with Grandmere barely hanging on. She screamed "HELP ME!"
The bodyguard immediately kicked his horse and galloped after Grandmere. Michael, too, started after the runaway.
A tense scene followed as they pursued the runaway horse, then the bodyguard's horse stumbled and went down.
Mia gasped. "Oh no!" she shrieked.
Michael spurred his horse on and caught up with Grandmere. He caught the horse's rein and pulled, slowing the horse until it stopped.
Mia trotted up to them. "Oh Michael," she said in awe, "that was wonderful! Thank you so much!"
Grandmere, having recovered from the shock, said stiffly, "Well, yes, it was. I suppose we could overlook the fact that he is a commoner. After all, this young man did save me. Amelia, if he agrees, you may marry him."
Mia shrieked happily and ran to Michael. They kissed, then Mia turned to Grandmere. "Oh thank you, thank you, Grandmere! Thank you!" She hugged Grandmere joyfully.
Grandmere stepped away. "Er, you're welcome, Amelia," she said. "But I think we should head back now."
So they all rode back to the stables, even the bodyguard (he and his horse were okay). They drove home, and as the limo dropped Mia off at her apartment complex, she smiled. She was happier than she'd ever been in her entire life.
Well, there you go! I don't think I'll write the wedding because I'm no good at writing them. Still, I hope you enjoyed this story! Review if you could, please! I'd like to know what people think.
