Carole's News! The Blizzard

Carole raced up to Lisa and K.C.

"Lisa, K.C, Saddle Club meeting in my room, Kristi and Stevie are already in there." Carole said firmly.

"Okay, Carole." K.C. said.

Lisa and K.C. raced into Carole's bedroom after her.

"So, Carole," Kristi asked. "what did you want to tell us?"

"Agreed, Carole," K.C. said. "Lisa and I were planning to go on a trail ride."

"K.C, my dad just gave me the details about the wedding," Carole answered. "and he and your mom are planning to get married here at Pine Hollow in February on the twentieth!"

"Forget about the trail ride, K.C," Lisa exclaimed. "this is even more wonderful!"

"But, Lisa," K.C. protested. "I'd still like to spend time with you, Echo, and Pegasus!"

Suddenly, the quintet could hear the sound of a door closing.

"Let's go." Kristi said.

The five girls quickly raced out of Carole's bedroom to find Red coming into the lounge with some belongings for those of whom couldn't or wouldn't be able to make it home before the blizzard hit.

"Red! What are you doing back at Pine Hollow?" Kristi asked in amazement.

"I am one of the new riding instructors now, Kristi," Red answered. "but right now, I have brought K.C, Veronica, Lisa, Melanie, and the rest of you who are staying here your pajamas or nightgowns."

"What about our parents, Red?" Stevie asked.

Max walked into the lounge from his office.

"That little matter is already taken care of, Stevie," Max said honestly. "I have already phoned your mothers and fathers and told them that all of you were to stay here at Pine Hollow until the storm blows over."

Lisa looked a bit concerned.

Elizabeth entered the lounge, "I know that look, Lisa, now what's wrong?" she asked.

"Oh, she is probably worried about her poor Pegasus, Mrs. Reg." Veronica said.

Lisa shot Veronica a sharp look before turning to the grandmotherly figure of the riding school.

"Is my mom really okay with Melanie and me staying over until the blizzard passes, Mrs. Reg?" Lisa asked.
