Miracle Pony
 Skittles & Hoku age 11

 Josh hurriedly groomed Splash, the pony he was borrowing. He and the PonyPals had a trail ride to go on.
 He was really excited, so he quickly saddled Splash up, and headed for the barn door.
 Anna's head popped out from be hind the door, and she said, "What's taking you so long?!?!"
 "I'm done now," Josh said.
 "OK." Anna said. "I'll tell the others."
 Once Josh got outside, he and the girls rode off!!!

 While they were riding on PonyPal trail, Josh spotted a chestnut pony, lying on the ground in the bushes.

 "Guys! Come over here," Josh said quietly, so he wouldn't spook the horse. Josh hopped off Splash and rode towards the pony, with the PonyPals right behind him.
 "He's beautiful," said Josh in awe.
 "And injured," said Pam seriously.
 "Yeah," said Anna, wincing as if feeling the pain of the poor pony.
 "He's also frightened." Added Lulu.
 Josh suddenly had a good idea. "Guys," he said to the PonyPals. "If we take him to Dr Crandals and he's OK, and nobody owns him, do you think I could keep him?"

 The PonyPals looked at each other and then at Josh.
 "We'll ask Dr crandal and your mom, after we find out about owners." said Lulu.
 "It's a great idea Josh!!!" siad Anna kindly.
 "We can help you take care of him." added Pam.
 Joshua suddenly said,"His name is Lightning."
 "The same name as Pam's pony!!!" gasped Lulu.
 Josh smiled. "Don't worry," Josh assured the girls. "His full name will be Lightning Flash."

 "I think this pony's gonna make it!!!" said Dr. Crandal at the clinic.
 The girls and Josh cheered.
 "And about the owners. I called everywhere in and out of Wiggins, and no one claimed Lightning. So Josh, if your mom agrees, you have got yourself a pony."
 "Wahoo!!!!" yelled Josh joyfully.
 Soon the four friends were giving hugs and hi-5s.
 "I'll ask my mom tonight." Josh said. "Can I board Lightning here???"
 "Sure," Dr Crandal said. "Board is free, and you can do stable chores to cover feed."
 "OK," said Josh happily.

 Back at home, Josh was about to confront his mom about Lightning.
 "Mom, the PonyPals and I were riding on the trail and I found an injured pony and rescued him. Dr Crandal said I could keep him. Could I Please mom??? Board is free, and I'll do barn chores to cover the expense of feed. Please mom? Please???" Josh held his breath, waiting for his mom to decide.

 Josh's mom was quiet. "Yes, you may have the pony."

 "Wahoo!!!! Thank you mom!!!" Josh punched his fist in the air. He called the PonyPals to tell them the good news.

 In his bed, Josh dreamed about his new pony, Lightning.
