Chapter 2
Veronica wandered around Pine Hollow in search of a certain red head.
When Scooter had came into view, Veronica called out to him.
"Scooter! Wait up!"
"Hey Veronica. I'm glad you found me." Scooter exclaimed.
He leaned in and kissed Veronica on the cheek and showed her the letter he recieved from his parents about the two of them visiting Ireland.
"So, what do you say? Shall I write them back and confirm the plans?"
"I'd love to Scooter, its just, I dont know if they'll like me." Veronica confessed.
"Oh Veronica! They'll love you! You're perfect. And if i love you, they'll love you as well." Scooter comforted Veronica's fear, and she knew everything would be okay if she went with him.
"Scooter, I would love to meet your parents. Of course, you will have to meet mine as well. That's just the DiAngelo way."
"Of course." was all Scooter said. He leaned in and hugged her and they stayed in their embrace, happy to be with each other.
"Red, I dont know what to say." Kristy stammered.
"Just tell me how you really feel. No lying."
"I... that is...what i mean to say is...I...Red, I-I love you."
"I love you too Kristy."
He kissed her softly on the lips and pulled her closer to him.
"That wasnt so hard, was it?" he asked.
"No, I suppose not." she responded by taking his hand and fitting it with hers.
Phil and Stevie were out in the pasture after what had been an exciting day.
"I'm so glad that you don't have to leave Pine Hollow Stevie. It'd be drab and no fun around here with out you."
"Yea. I would have missed it too. I would have missed Carole and Lisa and me ridding the trails. Commanchie, Bart, Delilah, Samson, Patch, and Prancer. Then there's Max, Deborah, Mrs. Regg, Drew." Stevie listed off names of things and people she would miss.
"I meant i would miss you Stevie. Because then we couldnt spend as much time together as we do."
"I knew what you meant Phil, i was just playing with you!" Stevie smiled and kissed her boyfriend.
Happy that Veronica had not taken him away from her.
