A Friend Arrives Part 2
"Don't you worry about that now, Lisa," K.C. said. "for we have a riding lesson to get to."
"You're right, K.C," Lisa said. "come on now, my Pegasus."
Outside in the ring, Elizabeth Regnery was beginning the lesson.
"Lisa, you're jumping first." Mrs. Reg said.
"All right, Mrs. Reg." Lisa replied.
Carole, Kristi, K.C, and Stevie were the first to notice Lisa's slow and lazy footsteps.
"Wait, Mrs. Reg," Stevie called out. "don't let Lisa go first!"
"Why not?" Elizabeth asked Stevie.
"Isn't it obvious, Mrs. Reg?" Veronica asked.
"Isn't what obvious, Veronica?" Elizabeth answered.
"Poor little Lisa can't keep her eyes open." Veronica said in mock sympathy.
Lisa almost fell to the ground but as luck had it, Jack caught her.
"Are you all right, Lisa?" Jack asked.
Lisa just yawned and rubbed her sleepy eyes.
"I'm fine, Jack," Lisa said. "just fine."
"Fine my right foot, Lisa," someone said. "you stayed up all night last night studying!"
Lisa turned to the owner of the voice.
"I have a geography test at school tomorrow, Melanie!" Lisa screamed in protest.
"So, that's why you're doing so poorly," Elizabeth said to Lisa. "then, I will take you to the lounge so you may rest."
Lisa took Elizabeth's right hand.
"Thanks, Mrs. Reg." Lisa said.
"Stevie, mount Belle," Elizabeth said. "you're jumping first while I take Lisa to the lounge."
"Yes, Mrs. Reg." Stevie said.
Stevie saw Pegasus getting restless while she mounted Belle.
Elizabeth saw Jack approaching the riding ring.
"Jack," Elizabeth requested. "would you mind putting Pegasus back in his stall while I take care of Lisa?"
"Yes, Ma'am." Jack said to Elizabeth.
Jack led Pegasus back to his stall while Elizabeth took Lisa to the lounge to rest.
