A/N: More Catty and the rusults from their horse show! I have no idea if they give away some of the awards I did in this chapter, but I couldn't resisit! NExt chapter will be in the Cullens new home adn it will be the last chapter when Casey is this age. I don't think that I have any life or death situations planned for Casey and the Cullens, but I'm leaning more toward the drama of middle school and then starting highschool with boys and everything there.

Chapter 22: Another Legal Cullen

Casey POV

I didn't know how to feel as I celebrated my clear jumping round with my family. I was happy that I had done so well in the show, so proud of Catty's big save, and sad that it was over between me and Catty. That would be our last ride together and that our partnership was over.

"You were amazing out there!" Alice exclaimed hugging me.

"Thanks, but Catty saved the day!" I pointed out.

"He sue did you almost gave us all heart attacks, and since we're vampires that's quite a difficult thing to do," Carlisle said laughing.

I looked at Catty Alice holding his reins. It looked like the two of them had made up and were friends again. I walked over to him and hugged him as tight as possible around the neck. He nickered as if he was gloating at his big save and I laughed scratching him on the forehead.

"Yeah, okay you can have the credit for that last combo, but I want the credit for the whole other part of the course!" I told him. He pawed the ground and bobbed his head in disagreement as if he really understood me. Well, who knows Catty was always different from other horses, maybe he did understand me.

"Okay there buddy, how about we split the credit fifty to fifty?" I asked and he seemed to agree that it was the fair way to do it.

"So when do you and Catty get that blue ribbon?" Rosalie asked me.

"At the end they'll call us all into the ring and tell us who won." I told her.

"So what do you want to do until then?" Esme asked me.

"How about I untack Catty and we watch the older kids jump?"

"Sounds good to me." Alice said handing me Catty's reins as we all walked toward the barn.

After untacking Catty we decided not to watch the older kids jump, but to go into one of the empty fields and ride. Alice trying to ride bareback was once again hilarious. She didn't get thrown this time, but she did fall… a lot. We all laughed as she tried to get Catty to trot for about the one hundredth time when he would kick up his heels slightly throwing her off balance so that a few strides into the trot she would fall. Catty thought it was a fun game I guess, because he appeared to be smiling wider every time Alice fell to the ground.

Rosalie had ridden horses before and was fairly good at trotting Catty around the little open field. Esme walked him quietly and Catty acted like a perfect gentleman lowering his heard comfortably into pleasure form. Edward and Carlisle decided to sit out on the riding and just watch. I bravely cantered Catty around the field lightly popping over a few logs that had been placed for outdoor jumping. They were low, but it was harder without having a saddle and stirrups to balance on and make sure I was far enough off of Catty's back and in an elevated position.

We were having so much fun laughing and goofing off that we barley heard the announcement made.

"Will all riders in the twelve and under two foot six jumping class please report to the ring in five minutes for the results and ribbons." The announcer bellowed and we all exchanged excited glances and began to walk slowly taking our time to the riding ring.

I watched as all of the younger riders were presented their ribbons with butterflies fluttering in my stomach. I was nervous and Catty was picking up on my nervous. I took a deep breath as the riders rode out of the ring baring ribbons made of many different colors.

A few of the girls I rode with were standing near by some smiled at me and wished me good luck. I prayed that Catty and my last performance together would be good enough for us to place. I wanted and needed to take a ribbon with me when I moved to remember my favorite spotted pony by.

Everyone that had competed in the class with me walked in. It went by number and I was seventh. All the other girls and boys in the class had tacked their ponies again for the results, but I rode Catty bareback into the ring with our rainbow colored lead rope tied on one end and clipped on the other side of Catty's purple halter instead of the fancy leather bridles all of the other horses and ponies wore. We were both unique and it wasn't the tack that made the horse or rider it was the bond that they experienced that made them champions. I realized that if I lost that was okay with me, I was taking much more out of this experience than a ribbon. I was taking my friendship with Catty and that was good enough for me to remember him by!

The announcer slowly read through the places counting backwards. I kept my fingers crossed every time he read another name and I sighed when it wasn't me. Now, there was only one place left and that was first place.

"Sorry Catty we tried," I whispered patting the pony's velvety soft nose as the judge came forward pinning a red second place ribbon on the horse next to me and returning to the announcers table and picking up the blue first place ribbon. I glanced over to my family. They all smiled encouragingly and I could see that each of their fingers were crossed too.

"And the first place blue is presented to, number seven the team of Miss Casey Cullen and Catty Wumpas," He said and I could hardly believe what I heard. My hand went to the back of my jacket where the number seven was tied around my waist. I had won! No, Catty and I had won together. I threw my arms around Catty when I realized that the judge had not brought our blue ribbon. Could there be some kind of mistake? Did I really win?

"Casey and Catty have also won other awards here today," I was shocked, "they have won out of every rider and horse team that competed here today the best overall ride award and the award for the best team and bond between horse and rider; we congratulate you."

I was speechless frozen in my place. My boots were glued to the ground a smile spread across my face. Best ride didn't make sense as I almost died, but best horse and rider team seemed to fit us perfectly. I looked around everyone was standing and cheering for me and Catty as the judge and my trainer came toward me.

A blue ribbon was clipped to Catty's halter. A trophy was in my hands and Catty's back was carpeted with a turn out blanket with our names embroidered on it for best horse and rider team.

I sat on top of the blanket as we walked out of the arena with a sullen expression on my face. I realized it was time to leave. Time to leave the city of my birth, my school, my friends, and my pony.

I celebrated my victory with my family and then left them with Catty to change into the clothes I would wear for the car ride to my new home.

As I walked back to the car to say my final goodbye to Catty I saw my family smiling widely Alice was bouncing up and down. They were so happy for me.

"I'm ready to go, where's Catty?" I asked realizing that he wasn't with my family where I had left him.

"You trainer took him back to his stall you can go and say goodbye there," Esme explained. I started to walk toward the barn Alice and Rose came to my side the others trailed behind me.

I walked all the way down the aisle to the barn tears forming in my eyes as I neared his stall. I couldn't see him since he must have been in the back of the stall on the shadows probably eating. I opened his stall door and for once Catty didn't come forward to greet me. Emmett was standing there with a huge grin on his face and a cake in his hands. A banner hung on the wall that read, happy birthday Casey. Everyone looked at me smiling. But where was Catty?

"Happy birthday!" they called.

"Are you ready for your present?" Alice asked me. She came over and blindfolded my eyes and began to lead me forward.

"Alice what are you doing?" I asked her.

"It's a surprise just wait and see," Esme whispered from my other side. They led me away from the barn and that was all I could tell you. Alice had my hand and she took it and reached out.

"Okay Jazz bring it forward," Alice called to Jasper who laughed probably at my expression.

"I reached out and caught hold of something. It was a rope that I was sure. Rosalie came from behind me and untied the blindfold. And there was my birthday present. It was Catty. Standing there still wearing our blanket up with a bouquet of flowers around his neck that read happy birthday Casey.

"Catty is my birthday present?" I asked.

"Yep, we weren't going to leave him here all alone!" Alice said. Jasper stepped away from Catty holding his breath.

"Thank you so much!" I exclaimed.

"Now wait he's not yours yet. You have to sign her first." I did as I was told and then Catty became my pony legally. He was a legal Cullen too.
