Title: Pony Ride!
Chapter 1: The Random Transformation
Foaly was in the Ops Booth when he heard a knock at the door.
"Come in!" he called absentmindedly, waving a hoof in the general direction of the door.
The door opened slightly; a small stick poked out of the gap and tapped the ground of the Ops Booth, and a small bottle appeared, full of orange liquid..
"Come in!" Foaly shouted again, louder this time.
Getting annoyed, he twirled around in his chair, expecting Grub playing a badly rehearsed trick, but instead saw the bottle sitting there on the floor.
"Hmm..."
He picked up the bottle carefully. The instant it touched his hand, a transformation began to take place. Foaly's hands and arms began to shrivel and then disappear, as did his head and then his torso. His whole front was now replaced with the head and neck of an Arabian stallion.
He whinnied as a test. Then he found that he could still talk.
A resounding scream filled the Ops Booth.
Holly and Artemis happened to be walking towards the Ops Booth when they heard the scream.
"I sure hope he's all right..." said Holly and began to run to Foaly's aid. Artemis started to run after her.
Holly burst the door open.
"WOAH!"
"He's been turned into a horse," said Artemis flatly, catching up to Holly. "An Arabian, if I'm not mistaken."
"Are you okay?" Holly asked urgently. "Can you still talk?"
"I am fine, and I seem to have retained my power of speech. However, as you can see..."
"We know, Foaly, you've been turned into a horse," said Holly. "Wait a minute..."
"What? You think you know how you can change me back?" Foaly whinnied urgently.
Holly turned around to face Artemis, and whispered something in his ear. The smile on his face grew wider with every word.
"And think of all the money we'd make!" she finished joyfully.
"Well then, I suppose I'll take care of the funding..." said Artemis.
"This is gonna be great! Don't worry, Foaly, we're not going to harm you in any way," said Holly quickly, seeing the look on Foaly's face.
"What are you two up to? I don't like the look on Artemis's face..."
Artemis had his eyes closed and was smirking happily.
"You're right, it is a bit creepy..." agreed Holly. She walked behind Artemis and poked him hard in that magical, painful spot. Artemis yelped.
"Okay, Holly, I get it..."
"Then let's get started!" she yelled.
"What exactly are you going to do to me?" winced Foaly as Holly pulled a tape measure around his head.
"You'll find out soon enough," Artemis and Holly said in chorus, and then stared at Foaly with contented eyes.
