THE RETURN OF BELLE STAR
CHAPTER 1
It had been since two months since the Quinn family had their adventure with that beautiful outlaw named Belle Star. Colleen had been riding more, all thanks to Belle. She had helped her get over her fear of horses. Brian was getting on with his life, like he always did, but now and again, he'd think of her. To him, she was the coolest girl around. Matt and Sully never really thought about her. Dr. Quinn was tending to her patients as usual, but she often wondered how Belle had been getting along. I hope she didn't get caught or killed, she thought to herself. She was so lost in her thoughts, that her patient started screaming. Dr. Quinn had been leaning on a needle that was now halfway into her patient's hand. "I'm so sorry," she said.
Belle's gang that consisted of Jim and Cole Younger were now dead. While robbing another saloon, they had been shot in the back. Belle was lucky. She managed to get away on her beloved palomino with only cuts and bruises. This hurts like hell, she thought while cantering away form the town. Her and Thunder had stopped at a creek so Thunder could rest and leave Belle to fill up her canteen.
Belle leaned her head back. "You know Thunder, I think it's time for a vacation," she said. Thunder snorted and nodded his head up and down. "You think it's a good idea?" she asked. Thunder whinnied. "we can go visit Dr. Mike and the rest of them," she offered. Then her mind clicked at a thought. "You know, I'm still wanted. Maybe I could sneak into the town," she said. "I'm going to have to change my clothes. I'll have to steal them. And I know just the place," she said. She mounted on Thunder and took off.
A few hours later, she had stolen a red dress and some other necessary "girly items", like she called it. It was plain, but fit her perfectly. It showed off the curves in her body very nicely. "What do you think Thunder?" she asked her horse spinning around to show it to him. Thunder whinnied loudly. "I guess you like it, huh?" she asked. Belle walked over to her bag and pulled out a brush. She took off her hat and started to brush her hair. It was very tangled. Within a few minutes her hair was sleek and shiny. NO one would recognize her now. She put on her cowboy hat after tucking all her hair in. One more thing to do was to burn her old clothes. Belle mounted on Thunder and headed towards Colorado Springs for her much needed vacation.
By nightfall, she had made it to Dr. Mike's home. She dismounted and knocked on the door. Sully opened the door to see a girl he had never seen before. "Can I help you?" he asked. Colleen, Brian, and Dr. Mike got up form having dinner and went over to the door to see who would be visiting them at this late hour. They all looked over and saw the girl. Belle chuckled. "You honestly don't know who I am?" she asked. Colleen gasped. "Belle?" she asked. Belle sighed. "At least some one remembers me. I just didn't think it'd be Miss Priss," Belle said before she took off her hat and all her blond hair fell around her back. "BELLE!" everyone else said. Belle smiled and walked into the house, ignoring the shocked looks every one was giving her.
