Ok,I was chating with Lollipop97 and I thought I could make this go out to her.So here it goes.This goes out to Loollipop97!
Courtney`s POV:I was walking into the house when Duncan asked me,"Are you okay?"I ignored him and went into my room.I locked the door and heard Duncan say,"Fine!Stay in your room!I don`t care!"I didn`t say anything back.I just sat down at the window sill again.Today was Duncan`s last day here."And I`m thinking that`s a bad thing."I said talking to myself.I got to get over him.I gotta move on.I gotta get some sleep.Those pain pills are making me tired.So I went to sleep.
The next day,I woke up to my dad calling me from downstairs."Courtney!Come here!"he said.I went downstairs to see my dad."Courtney,you know today is Duncan and his father`s last day here."my dad said."Yeah.I know."I said."Well,they`re coming back next week."he said."WHAT?!?!"I yelled.It was kinda hard to raise my voice."Courtney.Stop yelling.Now, they`re coming back next week."my dad said again."Yeah,yeah.I got that part.But why?"I said."Duncan begged his dad to come back down here."he said."Why?"I asked.My dad strugged his shoulders.I was confused.I knew why he was coming back,but I didn`t know exactly why.He was coming back for me.But he`s with that goth girl.And,the bad thing about it is,another family is coming here next week.A teenage boy,a man,a girl,and two more boys.But that`s all I know right now.Maybe I can sneak into my dad`s office and find the file.I went outside for the first time in three days.It felt like I was an outsider.More like an insider.I went to My Tree and sat down.Duncan came by and started to load up his truck with his and his dad`s stuff.He saw me and sat down across from me.He started to pick at the grass and throw it at me to get my attention.I was feeling alot better with him around.It was so weird.He didn`t talk.He just kept picking grass."Well,say something."I said."Say what?"he asked."Something."I said.Then threw the piece of grass down and stood up.He put his hand over his heart,(if he had one)and started to say the Pledge of Alliance."I pledge alliance to the flag,of the United States of America."I stood up and joined him."And to the rebublic,for which it stands,one nation,under God,indivisible,with liberty and justice for all."we said in unison.We sat back down and smiled."Why are you with her?"I asked."Who?"Duncan asked."Don`t play dumb.You know who I`m talking about."I said throwing a piece of grass at him."Oh,Gwen.Yeah,why do you think I`m with her?"Duncan said.I shrugged my shoulders."You know I like you Princess."Duncan said."You have a very funny way of showing it."I said.Duncan chuckled.I rolled my eyes."Duncan!Let`s go!We`ll be back here in a week!Come on!"my dad said."Coming!"I said back."I`m not getting another chance am I?"Duncan asked standing up again."Bye Duncan."I said hugging him.Duncan turned around and went to his truck.Gwen was waiting on Duncan.Then Geoff and Bridgette stood in front of me and Geoof said,"Well,it was nice to see you Courtney.""Yeah,maybe we can see eachother next week."Bridgette said."I`d like that."I said.Then we hugged and they went to Duncan`s truck and drove away.

(TDI, TDA and TDWT never happened)
I was toppled over by scrapbooks, ribbons, medals and a big canvas bag when I opened the closet door. What really caught my eye was the huge canvas sack that almost pulverized my leg. I wrenched myself out and pulled the bag over to my bed. I dug out my little sister's, Cookie's (her real name is Charlise), little plastic "Sheriff" badge and giggled. I placed it down and pulled out an unopened letter that I never have seen before. I opened and read it:
Dear Miss Courtney Langerak,
Thank you for help saving our ranch from MorcuCorp! We really appreciate your concern for all of the horses and the ranch. You are welcome to come here anytime!
From,
Vickie
Barry
Duncan
and the rest of Carousel Ranch!
I ran my fingers over the printed words, especially Duncan's. There was a picture in the envelope of me and Duncan. I now remember how we helped Carousel Ranch like it was yesterday...
