A/N: Hello again! I hope you like this chapter...it was sort of a spur-of-the-moment type thing. Anyways, onward we trudge!

Title: Pony Ride!
Chapter 2: Cars, PetSmart, and State Line Tack
"Holly, I didn't know Artemis could drive," said Foaly, squished into the back seat of the Fowl Bentley.
"He can't, legally," replied Holly with a smirk.
"Exactly," said Artemis, narrowly missing a squirrel. The car in the next lane over honked its horn.
"Shut up!" yelled Holly out the window.
"We all seem to be very excited today," said Foaly sarcastically.
"Ohhhhh yes!" chorused Holly and Artemis. ((My they're very with it, aren't they?))
"Here we are!" said Artemis suddenly, pulling into the drive of a very large store. It said "PetSmart".
Artemis nearly ran into the curb.
"Wow, this is fun!" screamed Holly, flailing her arms wildly. "Do it again, do it again!"
Artemis brushed a tree.
"Yay!" shouted Holly, a bit too enthusiastically.
Finally they pulled into the parking lot.
"Foaly, you just stay back here," said Artemis. "I promise we'll be out in twenty minutes, tops."
"You better be," sulked Foaly, and he attempted to lie down. It didn't work.
Holly and Artemis left the car. Foaly could hear Artemis lock the car, and then they disappeared into the store. Foaly sighed. He knew they would be in there a lot longer than twenty minutes.
Holly and Artemis entered the store. There were dogs everywhere.
"Oh darn. Well, let's just head back there, there shouldn't be as many of them there..." muttered Artemis.
A huge sign hung from the ceiling that said Horses. Holly and Artemis began to walk towards the sign.
"Can I help you?" asked a tall blonde woman.
"No thank you," said Holly politely and they walked away.
They soon found the saddles. And then the bridles. And then the halters, and the lead ropes, and the saddle pads.
"Do we really need all of this?" asked Artemis, holding up a red saddle pad.
"Yes," said Holly. "I know exactly what we need. An English saddle, a bridle with a snaffle bit, a halter, a lead rope, a saddle pad, a curry comb, a hard brush..." The list went on and on. They also needed a soft brush, a hoof pick, a mane comb, a shedding blade, a sweat scraper, clips, bands, and medicines. Holly fell in love with the model horses as well, so Artemis caved in and bought her the most expensive one.
"Oh thank you so much Artemis!"she shrieked, and kissed him on the cheek.Artemis turned a deep shade of red and looked away.
They walked up to the checkout counter with three shopping baskets full of horse stuff. One was being pushed by Holly's foot.
After they rang it all up, the cashier said Artemis owed him $3,589.34 and Artemis handed him a Visa. That took care of that.
"My father will hardly know it's gone," he whispered to Holly, and she giggled.
"This is gonna be so FUN!" she yelled, and then resumed her position of pushing one of the many shopping carts.
Upon reaching the car, they found Foaly asleep in what looked like a very uncomfortable position.
After cramming everything into the car, they both got in, and Artemis drove away. They were headed towards an abandoned park, which, in a couple hours, would be abandoned no more.
Hmmm...well, you decide. It was sort of short, I admit, but...hey. I try.
Anyway, please review. It really is VERY helpful to me. And, I will soon be coming out with a new story which will be weird like these. So watch for it!
Bye!
