- Carole Hanson: [Veronica has been gone for a long time and hasn't returned] Where is Veronica?
- Stephanie 'Stevie' Lake: You're worried about Veronica?
- Carole Hanson: No, I'm worried about Cobalt.
- Stephanie 'Stevie' Lake: I bet you she's faking her disappearance to get back at me for the spider gag I pulled on her.
- Megan: Phil, Veronica told me to tell you she went for the ride without you.
- Stephanie 'Stevie' Lake: You better go, Phil. Wouldn't want to keep you away from Veronica.
- Phil Marsten: What? I don't know what she's talking about.
- Megan: She said if she wasn't back in half an hour, then I was supposed to tell you. She thinks you'll worry about her or something.
- Phil Marsten: What? I don't even know her. We were never supposed to go on a ride. Veronica's making it up.
- Carole Hanson: Sounds like her.
- Stephanie 'Stevie' Lake: What's she up to?
- Phil Marsten: We should tell Max she's gone.
- Max Regnery: Who's gone?
- Stephanie 'Stevie' Lake: It's no big deal. Veronica's just looking for attention as usual.
- Carole Hanson: She's pretending to be lost so Phil will go looking for her.
- Max Regnery: Veronica's out in the woods alone? How long has she been gone?
- Megan: Not long. Half an hour.
- Stephanie 'Stevie' Lake: She's fine. She's probably sitting on a rock doing her nails or something.
- [Colbat comes charging into camp]
- Carole Hanson: Cobalt!
- Male camper #1: Isn't that Veronica's horse?
- Male camper #2: Yeah.
- [everyone runs towards Cobalt]
- Max Regnery: Easy boy. Easy. Good boy, good boy, good boy.
- Carole Hanson: Is he okay?
- Max Regnery: He's exhausted, clearly spooked, but other than that, he's fine.
- Carole Hanson: But where's Veronica?
- Lisa Atwood: Maybe Max has found Veronica by now.
- Carole Hanson: I hope so. It's getting late, and I'm tired and hungry. So is Starlight.
- Lisa Atwood: Do you think we should head back to camp?
- Carole Hanson: Yeah, but first, we have to find Stevie and Phil.
- [Lisa nods. They continue riding into the woods]
- Stephanie 'Stevie' Lake: Hey, you cut me off!
- Phil Marsten: Teddy needed more room!
- Stephanie 'Stevie' Lake: He did not! You just wanted to be in the lead, and since I've got the faster horse, you had to push me off the trail to stay in front.
- Carole Hanson: Guys, quit it. We're supposed to be looking for Veronica.
- Stephanie 'Stevie' Lake: I was... before I got cut off.
- Phil Marsten: I haven't seen any sign of her.
- Lisa Atwood: Which way do we go?
- Carole Hanson: I don't know. What do you guys think?
- Stephanie 'Stevie' Lake, Phil Marsten: [pointing in opposite directions] That way!
- Carole Hanson: [sarcastically] Real helpful.
- Stephanie 'Stevie' Lake: That's totally the wrong way.
- Phil Marsten: If we turn right, we stay on the main trail. It's the safest way to go.
- Stephanie 'Stevie' Lake: That's why we should go left. If Veronica was on one of the main trails, we would've seen her by now. And besides, the best way to find someone who's lost is to be lost, too. Who's with me?
- Lisa Atwood: We shouldn't go off the main trail.
- Carole Hanson: Okay, let's try the main trail, and if we don't find Veronica, we can go back this way.
- Phil Marsten: Sounds good to me.
- Stephanie 'Stevie' Lake: Come on, Commanche. Looks like it's just you and me.
- Phil Marsten: Stevie, come back here!
- Carole Hanson: She can't go off on her own. What if something happens to her?
- Phil Marsten: I'll catch up with her.
