Sorry for not writing for a while. I had a lot to do. R&R please! Discclaimer: I own zip, zero, dash. Except fo the plot and Aunt Joan, I own nothing. Disney owns the characters, and Superchick owns the song.

Keely POV

Before I went to my Aunt Joan's ranch, I wanted to visit Phil and tell him what I was doing. He can still talk and move, but the doctors say that it's better if he stays at the hospital. "Hey Phil," I said as I

walked into his hospital room. "Keely?" "Yes?" "I don't think that my family can afford to get the operation, and I'm going to be very blunt with you," he put his hand on mine. "I'm going to die." I sat on his

bed. "Phil, that's not going to happen, I have a plan." I started to cry. He wiped a tear from my face. "It's almost impossible." We locked eyes. "Just have some faith, please, just believe in me, I can do it,"

He was now rocking me back and forth in his arms. "But Keels, I don't think that you could possibly raise enough money to save me." I looked up at him and said, "That isn't my plan. See, there's a big

horserace that has a reward big enough to save you!" "Keely, I don't want you to risk your life for me. Do you even know how to ride?" I got up from his lap. "I'm going to learn, OK? And I wont get hurt.

Just you wait and see. I gotta go, Philly Willy. See you later!" A ran out. I mean, I wasn't going to be late for my first lesson! When I walked out, I heard Phil say, "I thought that Philly Willy was off the

table." I laughed.

No One's POV

Keely ran all the way to the stables so she wouldn't be late. "Keely!" Joan Teslow said as Keely arrived at the ranch. They hugged, and Joan taught Keely the basics to the job. When that was done, it was

time for Keely's first horseback riding lesson. "I think you'd be better off with Western than English," She said, and taught Keely how to put a saddle on a horse. "This is Willy. He'll be the horse that you're

going to get. He is actually a really good racer, but has never been in a race like this one. Don't hate his name because a five year old named him." Keely got up on Willy, and Joan told her what she needed

to know until she was comfortable with riding by herself. When she left, Keely started walking, then trotting. Her aunt told Keely not to lope (canter) yet until at least a week of daily lessons. She accidentally

forgot about that, and loped anyway.

I'm not afraid to fall

It means I climbed up high

To fall is not to fail

You fail when you don't try

I'm not afraid to fall

I might just learn to fly

And I will spread these wings of mine

Keely practiced for hours, even though her body was aching everywhere. She was determined


If I get up I might fall back down again

So lets get up c'mon

If I get up I might fall back down again

We get up anyway

If I get up I might fall back down again

So lets get up c'mon

If I get up I might fall back down again

And I might fall back down again

And we'll just jump and see

Even if its the 20th time

We'll just jump and see if we can fly

And though her aunt told her not to do anything but trot, Keely tried to jump the hurtles that were left for the class before.


I'm not afraid to fall

And here I told you so

Don't want to rock the boat

But I just had to know

Just a greener side

Or can I touch the sky

But either way I will try

She fell three times on her first times to jump, but got over the hurtle on her fifth try.


If I get up I might fall back down again

So lets get up c'mon

If I get up I might fall back down again

We get up anyway

If I get up I might fall back down again

so lets get up c'mon

If I get up I might fall back down again

And I might fall back down again

And we'll just jump and see

Even if its the 30th time

We'll just jump and see if we can fly

She eventually jumped all of the hurtles in an hour of practice, even though it was her first time and no one was there to tell her what to do. She fell about 20 times!


I'm not afraid to fall

I've fallen many times

They laughed when I fell down

But I have dared to climb

I'm not afraid to fall

I know I'll fall again

But I can win this in the end

If I get up I might fall back down again

So lets get up c'mon

If I get up I might fall back down again

We get up anyway

If I get up I might fall back down again

So lets get up c'mon

If I get up I might fall back down again

And I might fall back down again

And we'll just jump and see

Even if its the 40th time

We'll just jump and see if we can fly

If I get up I might fall back down again

So lets get up c'mon

If I get up I might fall back down again

We get up anyway

If I get up I might fall back down again

So lets get up c'mon

If I get up I might fall back down again

And I might fall back down again

Little did Keely know that Joan was watching her. "You must really want to win this race," she said. Keely stopped jumping and trotted to the fence. "More than anything," Joan walked up to the fence.

"Why do you want to win so badly?" "Well, my best friend is sick and needs an operation that his family can't afford." "His?" Keely looked at her, wondering why she said that. "Yes, his. What's wrong

with having a best friend who's a boy?" Joan just smiled, and said. "You love him, don't you?" She got off of Willy and walked up to the fence. "Wha… what makes y… you think that?" "You are willing to

go on a ten day race during the very little time you have off in Spring Break to save him. Not only that, you are sacrificing a lot of time to work here. And you wanted to get over with the basics so that you

can learn speed. That is very important for a race," Keely blushed. "So maybe I do like him. A little. But I don't know about…"

She thought about how Phil saved her career by studying for Mr. Messerschmitt's test. And how she was jealous of Alice De Luca and how he was jealous of Robbie.

"love. I do love him," she said. This hit her like a bowling ball. Strike! "Well, I'm glad you found someone right for you. You are doing the right thing, even if you didn't love him," Joan said, and left Keely to

her thoughts.
