Two weeks after the County Show cup, things have been going great fir Bright Fields. Stella and Pin are closer than ever, and Zoe has chosen to stay behind for Raven.
But when the cup is stolen by a member of the rival stables, Halloway, Stella, Zo...
I wear a short sleeved black Ariel printed shirt that has Ariel reading a book and says "I wanna be where the books are," and black jodhpurs, a sleeveless red vest over it, my hair unbound, as I walk into the parade with Levi, mum and dad, the three of us (minus mum) holding a stick of half eaten cotton candy.

Levi, dad, mum and I see Gaby lining up beside Callum behind the Mayor's float. As we stop beside Zoe, Frank and Aaron, Gaby notices us and Zoe and I wave to her.
Levi just throws his girlfriend a wink which causes her to blush madly.
Claire says in the speaker as Zoe addresses Frank, "Welcome to the Victory Parade!"
"Do you think the Mayor is still mad at me?"
Frank says, "You publicly accused her of stealing wild horses and ruined her daughter's birthday surprise."
Levi tells Zoe, "She'll still be mad at you in the year 2099."
"Ladies and gentlemen! I give you our Olympic hopeful, Callum Alpheck!" I roll my eyes sarcastically as the crowd cheers and the man and woman gripping the reins turn Callum's and Gaby's horses around. "Along with Gaby Grant!"
Zoe and I smile as we clap and the riders wave.
Mum tells me, "You're being really brave about this, sweetheart. I know you wanted to be up there. You too, Zoe."
"Thanks, mum. We are trying to be supportive but it's hard with, well... that!" I say as I point to Callum who's dismounted and approached three girls with pom-poms.
Zoe hums in agreement.
"5, 6, 7, 8!" Callum counts. He whoops as music starts playing and the girls do a kind of dance. Zoe puts her fingers to her temple in confusion while I press my fingers to the bridge of my nose and slowly shake my head in embarrassment.
How, exactly, did Callum make the team again?
I bury my face in my hands until the dance is over. I look up just when Callum holds up his fists similar to a cat.
