03x25 - Happy Trails

[bunniefuu]

MaxOkay...

finally, the endurance ride is here.

You've done the drills, you've done the practice.

We've prepared you as much as we can.

Now this is the real thing.

This is no drill.

What will get you your Duke of Edinburgh Certificate

is making decisions and accepting the consequences

and self-reliance.

But your best friends out there are each other.

Stick together, back each other up,

and look out for your mate.

And your next best friends-- who are they?

Our horses.

Correct, Carole.

Remember what we tell you every day.

You look after them, and they will look after you.

They eat and drink before you eat and drink.

They will go the extra mile for you

if you go the extra mile for them.

So your mission should you choose to accept it

is a there and back ride to Sweetwater Flats.

Wow!

Sweetwater Flats!

That's a long ride.

Exactly.

And you will be required to carry all your personal stuff.

Max and Jack will meet you at the camping location

with the heavy gear,

but once you are settled,

you will have to fend for yourselves.

So remember... safety is paramount.

Don't push your horse too hard

in unfamiliar territory.

Garnet's done this ride before.

We'll be home first.

MaxHey, listen up!

This ride is not only about speed.

In a real endurance ride,

they say, just to finish is to win.

Mrs. RegSo pace yourselves.

MaxWe'll head out slowly

and make sure everyone arrives safely.

It is rough country.

So for those of you wanting a gallop,

save it for the ride home.

We'll aim to get back to Pine Hollow by around noon.

JessIs it okay if we bring Trouble?

Actually, Jess...

you and Melanie have to stay here with me.

What?!

No way, that's not fair!

I'm sorry, girls, but you're too young.

You'll be able to go next year.

Get a good night's rest, guys.

We head off at first light.

MelanieIt's not fair, it sucks.

♪ Hello, world

♪ This is me

♪ Life should be

♪ Mm-mm, yeah

♪ Fun for everyone

♪ Hello, world

♪ Come and see

♪ Life should be

♪ Fun for everyone!

[Donkey brays]

[Laughing]

MelanieIt's not fair.

Yeah, why couldn't we go on the campout?

You'll get your turn.

But when?

I know.

Why don't we have a campout of our own?

Right here, at Pine Hollow?

Please? Please, please, please, please?

I suppose you could have a sleep-over at the stables,

as long as you get your parents to agree,

and you promise to behave yourselves.

Awesome!

MelanieLet's go get our stuff!

MaxAll set?

StevieWe sure are.

Where are the others?

MaxUmm...

are you sure you need all of that, Veronica?

I've only packed the bare necessities.

SimonThis is going to be great.

I can't wait! Camping is so my area.

Have you ever actually been camping, Simon?

Of course!

In a virtual sense.

Meaning the Internet?

No!

Well...maybe.

Okay, we're burnin' daylight.

What?

John Wayne?

It means we'd better get going.

Sweetwater Flats, here we come.


See you there.

[Excited yells and laughter]

StevieAll right camping!

The great outdoors!

CaroleAll right! Whoo!

LisaCome on, guys!

Come on, you'll never get there at that rate.

LisaWe're supposed to be pacing ourselves, Veronica.

I am pacing myself.

She's pushing her too hard.

Why does she have to make everything into a competition?

SimonOuch.

MaxSore, mate?

That's the longest ride I've ever been on.

Not to mention the slowest.

StevieOkay, where should we set up?

MaxLike I said, Stevie, I'm only observing.

I want to see how you go without instructions.

But remember...

the horses come first.

Okay, we've set up a hitching rope.

What comes next...

Carole?

Get the horses fed, watered

and settled for the night.

Great. Get to it, guys.

[Pop]

[Pop]

I am so bored.

Same.

How do the Saddle Club have fun?

[Pop]

Annoying Veronica?

[Pop]

Are you coming, Veronica?

I'm busy.

It's Garnet.

She's got a stone wedged in her hoof.

Couldn't you just bring me back some extra water?

I'll make it up to you later.

SimonOf course you will.

Scoop from the top, guys.

That way you won't collect as much sediment.

LisaWhat difference does it make?

Sediment will settle at the bottom of the bucket anyway.

Hey, if you don't want me to share my wealth

of camping knowledge with you...

There's another one.

Look, there.

There's a whole patch of them!

We can't pitch a tent on rough ground, Desi.

There is a solution, Veronica.

You could help me.

Me? I got my nails done yesterday.

Okay. I need to face the tent to the east.

To catch the morning sun.

Sure. Morning sun. Got it.

Just a little more...

Mate, you'll be lucky to be in the tent before morning.

The key to a comfortable camping experience

is to take a little extra time setting up.

There. Perfect.

MaxOkay guys, listen up.

Jack and I will be staying at the Coachmen's Inn.

It's only five minutes from here.

So if there are any problems call us.

SimonWe'll be fine. It's only one night.

What could possibly go wrong?

[Laughs]

Famous last words.

StevieWhatever.

CaroleWe're going to be fine.

Yeah.

Who brought marshmallows?

Me!

Of course you did.

This is ridiculous.

Why is there so little storage room in the tents?

Maybe because you brought enough luggage

for all of us?

What am I supposed to do with all this?

You'll just have to put it somewhere else.

[All giggle]

JessHave you got the serviettes?

MelanieThere.

The sandwiches? By your feet.

What about the carrots?

I think he's moved on from carrots.


Trouble!

The picnic is ready.

Do you think he'll go for cheese or peanut butter?

Peanut butter, definitely.

Feet off the blanket.

Good boy.

This is yours.

Shall we join him?

Oh yes. Let's.

Beans a la Simon.

Thanks...

I think.

VeronicaI'll pass.

I'm having chicken cordon bleu.

Just like the astronauts at NASA have.

My dad brought it back from America.

All you do is add water.

Mmm.

Mmm. Yummy.

Maybe next time you'll consider your fellow campers

and bring enough for everybody.

I'm sure your beans will taste just great, Simon.

See? Yummy.

Mm-hmm.

I just can't believe they wouldn't let us go

on the campout.

Me neither.

Pizza?

It's just so unfair.

[Horses whinny softly]

SimonGood night, Desi.

DesiGood night, Simon.

StevieGood night, Lisa.

LisaGood night, Stevie...

Good night, Carole. Good night, Carole.

Carol, Stevie, and LisaGoodnight, Veronica.

VeronicaWhatever.

MelanieI think I'll have a caramel eclair.

I'll have an orange jube.

BothMmm...

You know, there's only one thing missing...

[Trouble whimpers]

Much better.

[Owl hoots]

[Horses whinny]

[Neighs]

Veronica!

Wake up! Garnet's gone!

They were obviously tethered too close

and you know Garnet likes her space.

DesiThat's right, Veronica, blame everyone else.

Well, it certainly wasn't my fault.

What caused her to run off then?

[Owl hoots]

Maybe we should call Max.

No, we can't do that.

He'll mark us down.

So what? We're just going to sit around

and hope Garnet comes back?

Pretty much, yeah.

We should be out there looking!

Where would we start? It's dark.

We can't start searching now.

If it was one of your horses, I'd help you look!

All but VeronicaOh yeah, right!

SimonLike how you helped us water the horses?

DesiAnd how you helped pitch the tent?

StevieAnd collect firewood?

LisaAnd like how you made a gourmet meal for yourself

and let everyone else eat slop?

No offense, Simon.

None taken.

Well, I can't just sit around and wait.

I love Garnet just as much as you love your horses.

You've got a funny way of showing it.

Fine. Don't help me. But I'll show you--

I'll prove just how much Garnet means to me!

Guys, we can't just let her go out wandering on her own.

SimonShe probably caused the problem.

That's not the point.

She needs us.

Yeah, like Max said, we've got to stick together.

You're right. We should help.

Come on, we'd better hurry.

[Trouble grunts, snores]

JessUh-oh.

Mrs. Reg!

Wake up!

Mrs. Reg, we need help!

VeronicaGarnet?

Garnet!

Garnet!

[Screams]

[Screams]

Veronica, it's just us!

We're coming with you.

What?

But...what about all that stuff you said?

It's okay.

We're not going to let you go through this alone.


StevieGarnet?

AllGarnet, Garnet... Garnet, Garnet...

[Trouble brays]

[Steam sizzles]

StevieThis is crazy. She could be anywhere.

LisaDoes anybody even know where we are?

Don't panic, ladies, everything's under control.

We can navigate using the stars.

If I can make out the Southern Cross.

It all looks so far away

compared to looking through a telescope.

So we're lost?

I wouldn't put it like that.

DesiSo... how would you put it?

We're just...

temporarily lacking in geographical knowledge.

Which means...

We're lost, yeah.

CaroleWell, at least we're all together.

We've come this far, we might as well keep going.

JessQuickly.

MelanieWe're really sorry, Mrs. Reg.

It's not your fault.

This hay must have gone moldy.

The heat of the lamp could've set it off.

So we're heroes?

So we saved the day again?

Night.

So it's all good?

Clever boy, Trouble.

[Trouble brays]

StevieWe've been searching for hours.

Max is going to roast us.

VeronicaWe're never going to find Garnet.

[Horse neighs]

Listen...

[Horse neighs]

Through there!

LisaLook, Garnet's caught on the fence.

VeronicaGarnet!

Oh. My Louis Vuitton bags!

Did you load her up with all your stuff again?

What was I thinking?

Sorry.

I'm so sorry, Garnet,

I should have put you first.

SimonHey, what's that?

My silver-plated hairbrush!

It must've fallen out of Garnet's saddle bag.

There's something else...

My pink suede eye mask.

CaroleIs this yours, too?

And this?

And this?

VeronicaYes, it's all mine.

There's a trail.

Garnet left a trail, like Hansel and Gretel!

At least the witch is with us.

[Horse neighs]

Come on, guys.

There's only one thing left to do.

[Horses snort, neigh]

LisaWe're back!

VeronicaCome on, we'd better hurry.

VeronicaWell, we can forget about making it on time.

SimonNever say never, Veronica.

We're at Sweetwater Flats, and that's north.

So we must've found Garnet in the state forest,

which is west of Pine Hollow.

LisaAnd how exactly does that help?

If we go back into the state forest

and through the valley and across the creek,

it'll cut the ride time in half.

VeronicaThen we can gallop the whole way--

the horses should be able to cope

with the shorter distance.

I don't know, guys,

Simon's not all that experienced...

I'll keep Simon company.

You don't have to do that.

It's okay. I want to.

The rest of you should go ahead.

We'll be fine. Go.

Go!

[Horse neighs]

MaxHere they come...

right on time.

StevieWhy is Veronica stopping?

CaroleBeats me.

Are you okay, Veronica?

I'm fine.

Garnet's got a stone wedged, that's all.

You guys go ahead.

Okay.

Thanks, Veronica.

Thanks for what?

I'll never neglect you again, Garnet.

[Horse neighs]

You two took your time.

Thanks.


Hey... what are friends for?

MaxCongratulations, everyone.

You've all made me very proud.

But Desi and I didn't even make it back on time.

I told you, Simon, it wasn't a race,

and you were sensible enough

to ride to the best of your ability.

So I reckon you're all looking good for the certificate.

How was it out there?

Um...totally uneventful. Really.

That's what I like to hear.
