Dr. Brand had to tranquilize Cocoa before traveling to keep him from hurting Willy and Charlie. Cocoa had gotten to the place where he would attack Charlie and his family as well as Willy since Mr. Bucket had helped to hold Cocoa still when Willy had attempted to ride him. They loaded him into the glass elevator and took off. Cocoa panicked. Fortunately they had thought this might happen and Charlie grabbed a handkerchief out of his pocket and tied it around Cocoa's eyes.
The elevator slowly settled into the driveway near the house at Heartland. Amy and Ty were outside. Amy watched, her eyes big. "Oh, my gosh!" she exclaimed. She waited until it had landed before slowly going up to the glass elevator.
The door opened and Willy jumped out. He looked around. "So this is Heartland, huh?" he said.
"Who are you?" Amy whispered softly, Ty coming up behind her.
"William Wonka, young lady," Willy said, removing his top hat and bowing with a smile. Then he held out a gloved hand and said, "And you are…"
"Amy Fleming," Amy replied, shaking his hand, "We talked on the phone."
"Amy," Willy said, "A pleasure." Then he looked up to where Ben had joined her and Ty. "And who are these two young men?"
"These are Ty and Ben," Amy replied. "They help out with taking care of and treating the horses."
Charlie led Cocoa out of the glass elevator. Ty looked over at them. "Is this the horse?" he asked.
"Yes," Willy said going over to the horse and removing the blindfold. "This is Cocoa. He may look a bit out of it right now, but that's because we had to sedate him to travel. We didn't want him attacking us on the trip over."
"Is he really that bad?" Ben asked. All the trip over Cocoa had his ears back. Now, suddenly, his ears came forwards as Ben approached. Amy and Ty also came over. Cocoa's ears stayed forwards. He let them pet him and when Amy took his lead line he followed her willingly, if not a little slowly because of being sedated. They got him settled in his stall without mishap. Willy and Charlie followed behind the three people from Heartland. As soon as they appeared at Cocoa's stall door, his ears immediately went back again.
"Hmmmm," Amy said, watching the horse. "It appears to be just you he acts this way about. He seems fine with us."
"Like I said before, he was fine with me before the accident. It was only afterwards that he began to act funny," Willy said.
"Who did you buy him from?" Amy asked.
"A man named Joseph Pressman," Willy responded. He instantly knew where it was going, "You think…something happened to Cocoa…before?"
"I think it's pretty likely," Amy said.
"Well, as soon as Charlie and I get back, I'll call you and give you the number so you can talk to him," Willy told her as he and Charlie climbed into the elevator. Amy watched as it flew out of sight before returning to work.
