The next story begins here....
Ali skipped into the stable, half-dragging a resigned-looking Prim. She bounced on the spot, giggling happily.
“What is it this time?” sighed Sami, but her eyes were glittering expectantly. Ali released Prim for a moment to do a twirl, then caught her again.
“The Lightning Quartz!” she announced proudly, as Natalie came out of Hailey’s stall holding a brush. Sami picked up Nevaro’s saddle and started to wash it.
“Isn’t quartz only found in the Nether?” she asked, flicking a stray hair off of her face. Ali nodded, her eyes shining.
“I FOUND US A PORTAL AND EVERYTHING!” she suddenly yelled, dancing impatiently on the spot.
“Let’s GO!” She dashed out of the barn, dragging Prim behind her. Natalie rolled her eyes and we followed. Cass was waiting outside, stroking One More Rose’s neck. Ali watched Prim swing herself up into the saddle, then leaped gracefully up onto Hybrid Eclipse. I led Midnight Whisper out into the sun, closely followed by Natalie and Sami, the latter already riding Nevaro, ducking to avoid the doorway.
Natalie pulled herself up onto Nemo and Ali flicked Hybrid’s reins. The strong black gelding chose to rear up before setting off, churning the air with his white-socked forelegs and shaking his mane, then set off at a canter, leaving a small dust cloud spiralling behind him. We all exchanged a glance before chasing after Ali.
