As Marcie stepped back out on to Willow Lane, Sally waved at her from the farm gate.
‘Marcie! Come here,’ she cried. ‘I’ve got something to show you!’
Quickly wiping her eyes, Marcie followed. Sally didn’t seem to be quite as angry with her right now. Marcie was puzzled.
Ian was standing by the stable door, just out of sight of Fiddler, Rufus and Drift in the nearby paddock. He gestured to Marcie to be quiet. ‘Watch this,’ he whispered, pointing at Drift.
The brown horse pricked her ears. She walked up to the gate. Leaning her weight against the catch, Drift used her teeth to spring it, so that the gate swung slowly open. Ian quickly rushed forward, closed it again and slipped a loop of rope over it, before she could escape.
Marcie blinked in astonishment. ‘So that’s how all the ponies got out!’
‘Yes. It was Drift. She can open doors and gates. I’m so sorry that I blamed you. I’ve been such a muppet, haven’t I?’ Sally said.
Marcie realized that Comet had worked all this out. This was his final gift to her before he had to leave forever.
‘Who cares?’ Grinning widely, she gave Sally a big hug. ‘I’m just glad we can be friends again!’
You were right, Comet!
Marcie said silently.
Friendship is worth fighting for
. Wherever he was, she knew that his deep violet eyes would be shining with approval.
