M- Hello, Lexsi.
L- Hey, Mike.
The Horse Gallopers: Are They Ready?
M- Ooh, nice reference!
Chapter One
It was that time of year, where the leaves fall, the grass lightens.
L- FALL!
THIS is the first fall
L- YEAHHHH!
ever since they first arrived at the stables.
M- Don't be dramatic, it's been two falls.
It had been an adventurous summer! Out on the horizon, there was Tiffy. Having a private day with her mom, Luna. Colt was the horse today helping Blaze go get some food supply with Wendy.
M- They only eat grass... Is this a call about deforestation?!
Ever since the other animals arrived, Tiffy has made friends with all of them. But her favorite one is Willow.
M- The one that threatened to eat her. Makes sense.
L- WAIT A SECOND!
That pup was as fun as her. It has been a month since Tiffy was born.
L- TIFFY IS A GUY!
M- Well, she's the main character, Lexsi. She has to be a girl.
L- Oh, right.
And yet she knew how to gallop all on her own. Luna and Colt always have thought that Tiffy was a strange foal. For they never revealed what they thought. Glisten claimed that she had magic flowing in her veins.
L- Of course Glisten would think that.
Wendy denied that Tiffy had magic. “It’s never like that.” She said, And so, Colt and Luna just settled on how Tiffy was. But they never treated her differently. They loved Tiffy. “Hi. Wanna talk?” Willow asked. “Hi. Yeah, I can talk.” Tiffy said that afternoon.
M- (a la Tiffy) "I finally decided that speech issues are too hard to keep up with."
“You know, I don’t think you would respect this but, you are strange.” Willow said. “I know, I learned how to gallop on my own, and I am really good at defending myself. I don’t know why, but, ever since I met you, Willow, I feel kind of like I am a…” “Wolf? Yeah that is what I thought.” Willow said.
L- Influencers! This is your effect on children!
“But LOOK at me! Do I look like a wolf to you???” Tiffy said. “I can’t believe it. I don’t WANNA be a wolf. I wanna train to be a Horse Galloper. Like my mommy and daddy.” Tiffy stomped her hoof on the ground. “Hey, I agree. Well, I might have a solution.” Said Willow. “Remember when we first met, I bit you?” Willow pointed to a rash on Tiffy’s coat.
M and L- HEY! That never happened!
“Yeah. But I am not someone like spiderman. I think…” Tiffy paused. “I think when I was a newborn, I saw you move like a wolf, act like a wolf, and… I got so much wolf knowledge by just looking at you. I must have got…” Tiffy stopped, tears filled her eyes. “W-wolf c-courage.”
M- That's something you can get?
Tiffy tried to get a hold of herself. “Well, I think I'll get the courage to take that first step, I- Tiffy I am so sorry…” Willow howled at the moon, and Tiffy followed and howled too. “I don’t know, I- I….” Tiffy said. “WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!” Tiffy sobbed, galloping as fast as a cheetah down the hill they were on.
L- She's got Cheetah Courage as well!
“TIFFY! THE STABLES IS THIS WAY!” Willow shouted. “I DON’T CARE!” Tiffy was soon out of sight.

Chapter Two
“So you are telling me that…” Luna said, wide-eyed. “MY TIFFY HOWLED AT THE MOON AND RAN TOWARDS THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION TO THE STABLES???!” Luna shouted. “Listen, Luna and Colt, I know you care about Tiffy so very much and-” Willow interrupted. “WHY ARE YOU TAKING THIS LIKE SHE RAN INTO A FLOWER MEADOW?! I. WANT. MY. TIFFY!”
L- Some people have to sleep around here, you know!
Luna screamed. “Ok, listen, calm down Luna, I will go alert the other horses about this.” Colt said soothingly. “You’re right, I should go lie down and think about Tif- WAIT! Calm down… Calm down… Think about something other than Tiffy, Colt, dad, yes…” Luna trotted away.
M- Tiffy- AHHH!
“How do you DO that?” Willow asked. “Oh stop it.” Colt trotted toward Autumn to tell her the news. “ATTENTION ALL HORSE GALLOPERS!!! GET YOUR ARMOR ON! TIFFY HAS GONE MISSING! I REPEAT: TIFFY HAS GONE MISSING!
M- AND WHY WOULD I CARE?
I ASK PHOENIX AND WILLOW AND HOBBES TO FIND HER WITH SPHINX!” Wendy shouted. “Ok, guys, where did she go?” Sphinx asked. Willow had noticed that Sphinx had worn out his red coat. Now it is brown.
L- REALLY?
M- You can wear out your coat- HUH?
“This way!” Shouted Willow.

Chapter 41: HGATR- Host Segment
(Mike is combing his now not so blonde hair in the mirror. He's now more of a brunette with a red stroke along the front. Lexsi is on her phone, walks in, and flinches)
Lexsi: Mike!
Mike: What? Oh, hey Lex!
Lexsi: Y-y-y-y-...
Mike: What? Are you overstimulated or-
Lexsi: Your HAIR!
Mike: Oh, this? I wore it out.
Lexsi: How?
Mike: I dunno... It just happened. Now I'm a radical rockstar from the nineties, yeah!
(Lexsi taps some buttons)
Lexsi: Guys, look at this!
(Flash to the SOL lounge or something I imagine it with a living room or some shit)
(Jonah, Joel, Emily, Gypsy, Crow, and Tom are all playing Risk. They see the view screen)
Joel: Hey, guys, look who it is!
Crow: Mike! Lex! Long time no see!
(Back to Lexsi and Mike)
Lexsi: LOOK AT THIS!
(back to lounge area. All scream out of surprise)
Crow: Mike, I've seen the NANITES do better with hairstyles, but this is absurd!
(Back)
Mike: I wore it out! Why is everyone freaking out?
(back to lounge. Emily is now blonde)
Emily: What?
BEEP BEEP
Mike and Lexsi: OH WE GOT STORY SIGN!

L- I don't think I'll be able to recognize Emily anymore...
Chapter 4
Tiffy sat down in a cove and howled a cracky howl.
M- That means she's sad.
Then, she heard some noises. Clip, clop, clip, clop. Horse hooves! They are coming this way! Thought Tiffy, as soon as she trotted away fastly, the horse catcher grabbed her by the tail, and screams echoed in the forest.
L- (a la Tiffy) But I'm the main character! Let me have my moment.
Chapter 5
“I hear her.” Said Hobbes.
L- Susie?
Faint echoing screams filled his ears. “What else?” Sphinx asked frantically. “The HORSE CATCHER.” Hobbes said. Then, the sound of hooves started up again, but this time it was closer, the more the figure cleared the more it was obvious.
M- It was... Another horse. Aw man.
The clip clop sound came to a halt, and they knew who catched Tiffy.
M- Another... Horse?
L- UHHH, catched isn't a word!
“Help!” Tiffy’s muffled screams made Willow grow tense. The figure who catched Tiffy was Hawkeye, and the rider on Hawkeye was Colossus’s son, Whom the horses called Hades.
M- (a la Hades from Hercules) "Guys, relax... It's only halftime."
Chapter 6
“Hades!” Willow pounced on Hades and managed to make the horse catcher slip out of his hands. “DARN WOLVES!” Hades shouted. As Willow set Tiffy free, they rushed back, leaving Hobbes, Sphinx, and Phoenix behind to fight. “You go! I’ll handle Hawkeye and Hades” Hobbes shouted.

Chapter 43: Transition
(Lexsi and Mike enter)
Lexsi: Hey guys! Still playing risk?
Joel: Yeah...
Gypsy: It's boring.
Jonah: I think we should shoot the game into space.
Mike: Why?
Tom: Crow has been pondering his move ever since you guys got the last story sign.
Crow: Not anymore. (almost smugly, he rests his claw on a piece)
Silence.
Emily: Uh, Crow?
Crow: I forget. How do you play this game again?
(all groan)
BEEP! BEEP!
George (intercom): Crow T. Robot, Tom Servo, Mike Nelson, and Gypsy. You are the chosen ones for this single story because I'm nice!
