The next morning Kris woke up, and headed straight for the barn. Kris fed Wildfire, and went to see Childfire who was laying in the hay next to his mother.
"So, do you think Kris will be ready for the race tomorrow?" Jean asked Pablo.
"I don't know," Pablo said. "She has been so distracted lately."
"Ya she has," Jean responded.
"But Kris always seems to get her mind on the race. It is just the way she is." Pablo said.
Matt was in his room listening to music when there was a knock on the door, Matt looks up. "Come in!" he says.
Todd walks in the room.
"Hey Lil' dude." Matt said with a smile.
Hey I was wondering if you can drive me to Karate, after the race tomorrow?"
"I thought mom drove you." Matt said a little confused.
"She can't tomorrow. So can you?" Todd asked again.
"Um.. Sure." Matt said, as he turned off his stereo.
"Thanks," Todd said as he walked out of the room. Todd walked done the stairs, and heard his mom and Pablo talking in the kitchen. And he didn't want to intrude in their conversation, so he decided to go outside. He had a feeling that Kris would be in the barn with Wildfire and Childfire, so he went towards the barn.
Kris was leaning on the stall when she saw a shadow, coming towards the barn. Kris looked up and saw Todd coming in the barn, she smiled. "Hey Todd."
"Hey," Todd said back as he approached Chilfire's stall.
"What are you doing around here?" Kris asked.
"I wanted to get out of the house, and since there in nowhere to go, or anything remotely interesting in the town I thought I'd come here." Todd said with a slight laugh.
Kris also laughed, and then she walked up to Childfire and pet his forehead.
"So what are you doing out here?" Todd asked Kris.
"I just needed to get some air." Kris said.
Todd smiled and joined Kris in the hay with Childfire.
Note from teh author: I know that in the actual first episode of Wildfire season 3 they named Widlfire's baby Flame, but I think i'll just keep Childfire so it won't be confusing
