I never liked Hal. He would always pretend that he was my friend, but really, he was pathetic. I also had some suspicions on the guy, and those were confirmed when I saw him abusing a fluffy. He was laughing and saying, "that dumb court order won't save you now, ya freak!" the "court order" he was describing was a supreme court ruling to ban the abuse of fluffies. Guess he didn't like that. "HAL!" I cried. He flinched in surprise before turning around to see me. "Barry? What are you doing here? This is my house!" I scowled at the animal abuser. "Your pretty messed up Hal, torturing a defenseless animal. Let him go." He laughed coldly. "first off, this Is a pregnant mare. Second off, why would I let her go? What are you gonna do?" It was my turn to laugh. "You were fired right?" a nod confirmed my question. "I'll call the cops. And when that happens, you'll get a record. Not to mention a large fine. Up to 10,000 dollars, right? you think you'll be able to write up that check? you don't even have 1,000 dollars. I can see why you were fired." He scowled, knowing what I said was certain to happen. "let her go Hal. Let her go." He untied the mare and handed her over. "I'm glad we were able to work this out, Hal"
****the next day****
I had just sorted out all the formalities. I ended up ratting out Hal anyway. He deserved it. I had taken the female to a pet store and adopted her. When we got back to my house, I decided to get to know my new friend. "Hi, I'm Barry. And you are?" I inquired with a smile. The female hesitated, but then said: "Fwuffy nu haf name." I stroked her mane. "I just I'll just have to call you Carol" I said with a smile. Carol smiled. Tears forming in her eyes. "You don't look pregnant" Carol nuzzled me. "Cawol get Speciaw huggies not to wong ago" She said. "oh" I said. I picked her up and stroked her again. "You want some spaghetti?"
Later that night, with her belly full, we went to bed. I was happy to get her a new, loving life.
