(The scene opens at the wreck. Eli is waking up.)
Eli - (struggling to move) Uhhh.....oh no....I'm stuck.
(Eli looks around frantically. Suddenly, he sees Tanner in the front seat. Tanner is also waking.)
Eli - Tanner!
Tanner - (waking) Uhhh.....Eli?
Eli - Tanner, are you alright?
Tanner - I think so. What happened?
Eli - We were in a car crash.
Tanner - .............the horses!
Eli - Oh no!
(Tanner unbuckles and escapes from the truck. He quickly scurries behind the truck to the trailer. He is shocked to see what he finds.)
Tanner - They're gone!
Eli - What!?
(Tanner hurries around to the collapsed side of the truck.)
Tanner - Can you get out?
Eli - No, I'm stuck.
(Tanner heads up to the passenger seat to his sister.)
Tanner - (shaking her) Kelly!......Kelly!.......She won't wake up!
(Eli reaches for Dylan.)
Eli - Dylan!.....Dylan!........Dylan won't wake either.
Tanner - What are we going to do?
(Meanwhile, Zipliner and Soara wander around anxiously in a half- forested area.)
Soarana - We're losing daylight here.
Zipliner - I know!
(Zip glances toward the sun, turns away and slowly walks on. Soara looks in the same direction, but she begins to climb the hill. Zip notices her. Cut away so the audience can see Soara appear as she reaches the top. She stops when she sees something. Zipliner appears a few moments later.)
Zipliner - What is it?
(Zipliner stops just off behind to Soara's side. Then he spots what she did. It's a little farm. A farmer is out feeding his animals.)
Soarana - (galloping off) Come on!
Zipliner - Wait up!
(Soara continues the charge. Zip follows a few feet behind. The farmer looks out into the distance and sees the horses coming. Instantly the farmer puts down his bucket, approaches the horses and puts his arms out.)
Farmer - Whoah there!
(Soara bounces to a halt in front of the farmer. Slowly the farmer reaches his hands out and trys to grab Soara's halter. She fails her head away. Upon hearing the noise, a young girl peaks her head out of the barn.)
Girl - Is everything alright papa?
(The girl approaches the farmer and the two horses. Soara continues to flick her head in another direction, trying to get them to follow her.)
Farmer - I don't know. These two came out of nowhere like rockets. I'm wondering if they escaped from the neighbor.
(The girl looks at the horses anxious movements carefully.)
Girl - I think they want you to follow them Papa.
Farmer - You think so?
Girl - Just look at em bounce around and look how they turn their heads.
Farmer - I suppose your right. I'm going to go get Cisco. I'm not going to be able to keep up with them on my own. Hold them please.
(The farmer runs to the barn. The girl reaches up and snags Soara's halter. The mare shrieks and side steps.)
Girl - Woah easy there.
(That's when the girl notices the name plaques on Soara's halter.)
Girl - Soarana......
(The girl looks past Soara at Zip.)
Girl - Oh no....Hurry Papa!
(The farmer comes out of the barn riding on a chestnut stallion. Soara begins to throw her head and side-step.)
Farmer - What is it Hannah?
Girl - Papa these are the racehorses from tv! They shouldn't be out here on their own. I think someone is in trouble.
Farmer - Let them go.
(Hannah lets Soara loose. The bay mare turns away toward Zip. Zip takes off in a full gallop, Soara takes off seconds behind. The farmer kicks his chestnut into gear. The chase has begun. Hannah watches as the three gallop away. Zipliner leads the way through the trees, Soara is a few feet behind. The farmer and his chestnut struggle to keep up the pace. After an intense montage, the scene cuts back to the accident.)
Tanner - I'm getting really worried now? The horses are lost, you're stuck, my sister and Dylan are still out. My mom is going to kill me when she.........
(A rustle in the bushes cuts him off. Tanner turns around in fear, until Suddenly Zipliner breaks through. Tanner jumps into action, raises his arms up and stops the stallion. Zipliner rears into a halt.)
Tanner - Woah! Easy boy!
(Tanner grabs hold of Zip's halter and begins to pet him.)
Tanner - Hey buddy!
(Tanner hugs the horse. Soara suddenly comes through the brush.)
Eli - Soara!
(The mare rears up in a halt. As she crashes to the ground, she tosses her end energetically and nervously. Finally, the farmer comes ridding through on his stallion. He pulls the reins back, immediately his horse responds, stops, and shifts under him. Fade to black harshly. The scene ends with the blaring of emergency sirens.)
