//------------------------------// // Cozy Glow's Plan // Story: Pony and the Yak // by Majestical4729 //------------------------------// Back in the village, Cozy Glow was having a meeting with the town's warden in the warden's place. "So let me get this straight," the warden said to Cozy, "You want me to throw Sandbar's father into a prison?!" "Exactly!" Cozy Glow confirmed, "That old pony is crazy, insane, a lunatic! He even claimed that a yak who owns a castle locked Sandbar up in it! Can you believe it?! A yak!" "Sandbar's father is just old. It should be understandable since these things naturally happen to old ponies." the warden informed. "But town warden, don't you think that this town shouldn't have a lunatic like him running free and about?" Cozy Glow asked, using her manipulation skills. "Well....uh..." the warden struggled to answer. "What kind of reputation do you think our sweet little village town will get if we have the father of the kindest, most charming stallion here, running wild as a crazy old pony who thinks such ridiculous things are true?!" Cozy Glow continued asking. "Not a very good one..." was all the warden could think of as an answer. "And does our village town deserve to have that kind of reputation all because of one pony?!" Cozy Glow asked once more. "Obviously not!" the warden replied. "That's right! Sandbar's father is out-of-control! We have to do something about him!" Cozy Glow insisted, "And the best way to make sure that he's under control until Sandbar and I are married, is...to lock him up!" In his house, Sandbar's father was getting ready for a mission to save Sandbar, all by himself. "Since no pony will help me, I'm going to save my son, all by myself!" Sandbar's father announced to himself, "I don't care what it takes! I'll find that castle somehow! Get Sandbar out of there!" Not long after Sandbar's father left, Cozy Glow and the warden arrived at his house. "Sandbar?! Sandbar's Dad?!" Cozy Glow asked, busting into their home to find neither father nor son present. "Sorry Miss Cozy Glow, but they're not home now. Maybe we don't need to go through your plan..." the warden apologised, but Cozy was not buying it. "They have to come home some time!" Cozy Glow insisted, "And when they do, you shall inform me! And before they do, you should never ever leave this spot!" Cozy Glow got the warden to serve as a servant following her strict order of standing right infant of Sandbar and his father's house, to ensure that the return of the house's owners would not be missed.
