Hey readers!! Hope you like this update. I don't own The Outsiders or characters.

Shelby's POV
The rodeo championship is tonight!! If I win barrel racing I win $200,0000!!!!! I went to the Curtis house to pick up Soda and Steve. I honked and they came out.
"SHOT GUN!!!!" Soda yelled. I laughed at how he was just a big kid.
"Here's your piece of cake. I thought you'd want one." Steve said getting in the back.
"Thanks. You thought right."
"You ready for the rodeo?" Soda asked.
"Heck ya!!!! I'm a little nervous though."
"Don't be nervous. You'll do great." Steve said.
"Thanks. I sure hope so."

We did our usually routine at work. We closed up and headed straight to the stables. I got Diva out and saddled her up.
"Let's go for a practice run Diva." I cooed. While I barreled Steve and Soda times me.

"The record for this arena is 14.8 seconds." I told them.
"Ok." They said. I stormed out the gate, going around the right barrel first. I rounded the last barrel. I didn't knock one over. I crossed the line and Soda put the flag down.
"WOOHH!!! Damn baby your time was 13.6!!!" Steve ran up to me.
"REALLY?!?!? YOURE JOKING!!!"
"No. I'm dead serious. Look." He handed me the stop watch.
"HOLY SHIT!!" I said. "That's the fastest I've ran!! Good job Diva-cakes."

We went home so I could get ready. I got out my favorite rodeo outfit. My black button up shirt with white decoration on the front. My jeans with crosses on the back pockets, and my black boots with a D toe. I fixed my hair. I looked in the mirror. I look okay. I went downstairs. The whole gang was there ready to go.
"Hey cowgirl. You ready?" Greg grinned.
"Yeah. I guess."
"Wow. You look amazing." Steve awed.
"Thanks. I look okay."
"Okay?! You look a whole lot better than okay. You look beautiful." Steve said.
"Thanks Stevie." I said hugging him.
"Now, let's go so you can win $200,000!!!!!" He shouted excitedly.

We loaded up Diva and went to the arena. I'm so nervous!
"Hey calm down baby girl. You'll do just fine." Steve said.
"Thanks Steve." I smiled. We unloaded Diva and I rode her around a bit to loosen her up.

It's almost my turn. The gang just went up to the stands. I can hear the cheers from my fans, mainly the gang, yelling my name. I smile. It's my time to shine.
"Next up is our favorite little darlin... Shelby Wilson!!!! The announcer calls.
"Ready Diva. Let's go win round one." We sprang out of the gate. Going lightning speed. Around every barrel flawlessly.
"I don't believe it!! A new record!! 12.7!!!!" The announcer yells. "Shelby wins our first round!"
"GO SHELBY!!!! YEAH BENWILPOTT!!!! WAY TO GO!!!! GOOD JOB MINNIE!!! GO SIS!!!" I smiled when I heard the gang yelling and cheering me on. I trotted to the back to meet the gang smiling. Steve hugged me.
"I'm so proud of you." He whispered in my hair.
"Thank you." Greg pulled him away.
"My turn." He said. I hugged Greg tighter than ever.
"Greg thank you so much for teachin me to ride and for gettin me this far." I said on the verge of tears.
"You're welcome baby girl. Anything for you. I'm so proud of you. I love ya."
"I love you to."
"Let's get Diva rested for round two."
"Ok."

We walked Diva to the trailer and fed and watered her. I put glitter on her tail while Ashley did her mane.
"Shelby the horse looks almost better than you." Leah joked.
"Anything for her. If she wasn't here I wouldn't be winning." I said.
"5 min. till round two." Greg poked his head in the door.
"Ok."

I took Diva back to the gates.
"Round ones winner...Shelby Wilson!!" The announcer shouted.
"Let's go Diva." We went past all the barrels perfectly.
"13.4!!! Round twos winner is Shelby Wilson!!! One more round left!" I was smiling from ear to ear. The gang was shouting again. I'm so lucky to have them.

In the back I saw the gang and Trecia, Shandon, Aspyn, Layne, Landon, and papa.
"Hey guys."
"Hey sweetie." Trecia said. I jumped of Diva. I hugged them all.
"We couldn't miss this." Shandon said.
"Thanks guys. I'm glad you're all her." We took Diva to the trailer.

The next and final round came. Diva was tired and spooked by cameras. Uh oh!
"Last but not least.. Shelby Wilson!!!!"
"Come on Diva!" We went out. We barely missed the first barrel. We knocked down the second. Shit! Then cleared the last one good.
"Uh oh. That'll take off some points. Let's see what the judges say." The announcer said. I'm freaking out!

In the back we all stood with our fingers crossed. The judges still hadn't made up their minds. My time was 14.6. Too slow.
"Calm down you're shaking." Steve said hugging me from behind.
"I can't help it. I'm nervous."

It's been 20 min. and the judges still haven't made a decision.
"Excuse me everyone." The announcer called. My stomach dropped. "The judges have made up their minds. Shelby's last time of 13.4 will be 15.8 because of knocking down one and hitting another. She won third this round." There was a long pause. "But....she won 2-3 so she is our barrel racing champion!!!!!!!! Congratulations miss Wilson!! Please come up and collect your prize!!"
I was screaming, jumping up and down, and crying,
"OH MY GOD!!!! I WON!!! GREG I WON!!!" I hugged Greg.
"I knew you could do it ever since you learned to ride sweetheart. I never doubted you." We hugged for awhile. I hugged everyone else saving Steve for last.
"Steve, I won. I really did it. Now my brothers can have a good future."
"Baby you did amazing. I'm so proud of you. I love you."
"I love you to." I pulled away.
"Now let's thank the main person. DIVA!!!" I hugged Diva. "Diva-cakes we did it. Good job!!"

"Let's go get the money." I said. We all walked up the stairs to the announcer box.
"Miss Wilson congratulations!!" The announcer said. "Just sign here and you can take the money and since your underage your parents must sign to."
"Okay and thank you. This is my legal guardian." I said pointing at Greg. We signed the paper and I took the check.
"Picture time!!" Trecia said. I took a pic with the gang. One with my brothers. One with the whole family. One me and Aspyn. One with the girls. One with Steve. One with Greg. One with Diva. And one with everyone individually.
"Let's go home." I yawned.
"We better get goin yo." Papa said.
"Ok love you all." I hugged them all.

We took Diva back to the stables and gave her a special treat. I thanked God and was out like a light.
