The Road Home - Ponies of Chincoteague #8

Do weird things happen in twos?

Weird thing number 1: my friend Leah. I don't know what's happening to her. We've been inseperable since first grade, but lately she's been so moody, lashing out at anyone who even looks at her, spreading rumors that I've been stealing from people's lockers, and isolating herself from everybody.

Weird thing number 2: my pony, Breezy. He's usually quiet and well-behaved, and maybe a tiny bit on the lazy side. But now he doesn't have an ounce of energy. He's sluggish and sleepy, and just yesterday he had a saddle sore that he didn't have the day before.

Leah and Breezy have never, ever acted like this. I know I have to stop worrying and start helping. But where do I begin?
