An Invitation For Wendy

"Excuse me," Carole asked. "but are you Wendy Carrington?"

"That's me." Wendy answered.

Stevie handed Wendy's patch to her, "Then, I believe this belongs to you." she said.

"Thank you! Where did you find it?" Wendy asked in glee.

"We found it on the trail near the quarry." Stevie explained to Wendy.

"So that's where I lost it," Wendy said, pinning the patch back onto her helmet, then she turned to the man who was yelling at her about the patch. "there! Are you happy now, Coach Diaz?" she added.

"Very happy," Coach Miguel Diaz said. "now, go to your dormitory bedroom and change your clothes for dinner!"

"Yes, Coach Diaz." Wendy said, going to her bedroom to change for dinner.

After changing into a luxurious and expensive looking dress made of icicle blue taffeta, Wendy heard a knock on the door.

"Wendy," Brad called through the closed door. "are you decent?"

"Come in, Miss Taylor," Wendy called back. "I'm decent."

Brad entered Wendy's dormitory bedroom, "Do you always dress like that for dinner?" she asked.

"I wish I didn't have to," Wendy sighed. "but formal attire at dinner is a school rule here."

"Well, that's something that will change," Brad said to Wendy. "because, you are invited to join our Pine Hollow family!"

"That does sound wonderful," Wendy said. "but I hear Pine Hollow is getting crowded, where am I going to stay?"

That was when Lisa showed up.
