Mike, Matt, Evie, Ginger, Jazzy, Judy, & Betsy's Intro

Mike pulled the wagon up in front of the saloon. He told Matt to stay with the wagon. He went into the saloon but not for long. He came out and stood by the wagon. Matt saw the disappointment in his expression, and he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Someone already owns this saloon."

"What? I thought you told me that no one had the saloon here." Matt asked.

"That's what the fellow told me." Mike looked around.

"This is horrible." Evie said, poking her head out of the covered wagon behind Matt. “What are we going to do?

“I’m tired of being cooped up in this old wagon.” Jazzy said as she jumped to the ground from the back of the wagon. She walked over to where Mike stood. “Well, what are we going to do?”

The other three girls poked their heads out right beside Evie, all waiting for an answer.

Mike rubbed his chin. He wasn’t sure what to do next. Matt looked at the despair in the young ladies faces. They had come so far. What would Mike do now?

“Well, one thing’s for certain I’m not going to make a rash decision. I need time to think about it.” Mike finally replied to all six starring faces.

“Well, what are we to do in the meantime?” Jazzy asked.

“I hope we’re not going to continue on. I’m tired of sleeping in this jarring wagon. I want a real bed tonight.” Ginger firmly stated.

Mike stood there pondering what to do next while the others just watched him.
