The PALs and the rainforest (SRF)

Warning = if you don't know SRF (Spirit riding free) you won't understand this story

The rumble of Thunder was heard, shaking the ground, but for now, the PALs weren't worried, for the sound came from far away. Spirit neighed, and stood on his hind legs. 'It's OK, boy. Everything's fine,' Lucky said, running her fingers on his muzzle. Spirit whinnied, as though he understood. Everything was fine. Chica Linda and Boomerang stay put, also neighing. Abigail cuddled Boomerang. She was afraid of thunder, but with Boomerang, everything would be fine. Pru did a frontflip and landed on the ground. 'Thunder doesn't scare me,' she said. Lucky ignored her, and rode Spirit further. Suddenly, Spirit ran to a halt. It was so sudden that Lucky almost fell of him, and she didn't have any harness to hold onto. She dug her hands into Spirit's mane. Spirit turned around, and whinnied, as though saying, 'Are you OK?'

'Yes, I'm fine, boy,' Lucky said, stroking Spirit. Pru and Abigail rode even further. 'Come on, Lucky! Don't be a slowcoach,' Pru teased. Spirit, being a Mustang, soon outran Chica Linda and Boomerang. They reached the frontier, which had become a rainforest! Two palm trees hang around, with lots of other trees, making Spirit's herd have lots of shade and water. Spirit neighed again, and galloped so fast Lucky thought she'd fall for real this time. Smoke, again, gruffly greeted them all. Spirit neighed. He stood on his hind legs again, and Lucky jumped out. 'Spirit, you enjoy yourself with the herd,' she said. 'I'm gonna sit down with Pru and Abigail.'

She did, Chica Linda and Pru cuddled together, same with Boomerang and Abigail. Lucky watched Spirit galloping with the herd at incredible speed.
