Obviously. the only way to find out what "that" was all about was to become "that." In other words, horses, or in their cases being children, they became ponies.
Tom, Adam, and Ashley barely knew what hit them as their reality seemed to shift around them almost instantly. Tom barely had time to react as he suddenly felt larger and was standing on all fours. Dark fur had surrounded his body, with an alien-like feeling coming from a newly formed tail on his rear.
Adam was too shocked to do anything but stare at the others and look around at his own fury body and tail swishing behind him.
Tom, unfortunately, gulped at his unfortunate wish causing an unfortunate swallow of the remains of the candy in his mouth.
Ashley, on the other hand (or hoof in her case now), was not one to be without words. As she started to voice her disappointment in Tom not being more careful, she found that she no longer had words. Everything she tried to say came out in in whinnies and neighs or snorts and nickers. Finally frustrated, she makes a loud squeal with her mouth shut (horse talk for NOoooooo!), "EEEE!"
The little pony already with them moved towards Tom and nickered then made a blow sound as if introducing himself.
[ the following is translated from horse talk ]
"Hello," the pony said.
"Hello," nickered Tom.
"My name is Little Paint."
"I'm Tom."
The pony then moved to Adam, and they did the same. Finally, he moved to Ashley who, although agitated by the situation, also greeted the pony with a soft blow. The pony then nuzzled against her showing the affection it had for her back when she was human and brushed it, gave it carrot treats, and talked sweetly to it.
Adam continued to walk around the stall and testing the gate with his nose. It wouldn't budge, and he became frustrated trying harder as he sometimes neighed and sometimes squealed at the gate.
While Ashley and Little Paint "talked" and touched, Tom remembered how the mare had gotten a candy, and he rustled over to the box pushing it with his nose. He thought that if he could get a candy, he could wish them back.
