Season 4 - I changed it up a little bit

Life goes on... Chapter 1

Junior goes to the barn to go get a special bottle of champagne. As he's in the barn, he's practicing out loud how to propose to his girlfriend Laura Nickels of 6months. Daughter of the senator.

"Laura" as he began talking to himself getting down on one knee holding up a velvet black box in the air with one hand; he stops himself... Closes the box gets up and starts to inhale and exhale. Just the thought of proposing in front of all those people who's in his house made him very nervous. He felt a knott form at his stomach. He decides to sit down on a barrel of hay. "Breathe. Just breathe"

"What am I going to do." There's so many people in there." He took a deep breath.

"Okay, come on Junior you can do this. You love laura. She's a great girl. You want to spend your life with her. She makes you happy." he said as he coaches himself. He stands up about to start again when he hears wildfire go wild in his cell. He didn't think to much of it, started up again.

"Laura-" he started again "You mean the world-" he gets cut off by wildfire's call.

"Wildfire?" - Junior said out loud. He starts to slowly walk towards wildfire's stall.

"Who's there?" he yells.

No answer, no sound. He decided not to pay attention and walks off.

"Where was I. Oh yes. Laura." He starts up again pacing back and forth.

Then all of sudden wildfire starts to bang up against the stall cell and he started making lots of racket. Junior picks up a shovel and starts slowly walking over towards wildfire's stall.

"I said … Who's there?!" he yells. At this time the shovel is up in the air about to hit who evers there. Junior stops dead in his tracks. Drops the shovel and is shocked to see who's standing right in front of his very own two eyes.

"KRIS?!" asked a shocked junior. He closes his eyes and opens them up again. He wasn't dreaming. She was really there, standing in front of him.

Kris was surprised to see Junior standing there with his mouth wide open. She didn't know what to say, or react to him being there. She wasn't expecting anyone to find her.

There's was complete silence.

She looked up at him, "I-I-I came by to see Wildfire. I heard he wasn't doing so well and needed some moral support." explained Kris

"Where have you been?"

"Oh you know around, here and there. Wherever there was a race." said Kris.

"You?"

"I've been here, working with my dad, and a few other projects."

"How's that going?" she asked him

"Better then I thought" replied Junior.

"Its good to see you." Junior said out loud with a cute smile on his face.

Kris smiled back, "You too."

"Where's flame? I couldn't find his stall." she asked him.

"He's about 2 hrs away from here. Gillian sold him when she left. It's a long story."

Kris just nodded her head. She understood what he meant as much as it hurt her to see flame gone.

Junior saw the sadness in her eyes when he told her that. He knew how much flame meant to the both of them but he never dreamt of the day he'd have to tell her that.

"Oh" was all she said.

"So um matt must have been excited to see you." asked Junior trying to change the subject.

"Matt doesn't know I'm here and that's the way I'd like to keep it. I'm only here to see wildfire race then I'm gone."

"But-" junior started saying. Kris cut him off.

"Please junior."

He understood and shook his head.

"Okay."

"Thanks" she smiled at him and took off.

Junior just stood there as he watched Kris leave still in complete shock that he came face to face with the girl he was once in love with.
