Gary Wants Something
*knock knock*
"Hey Gary, come on in." Paul's boss motioned for Gary to enter into his office. Gary hurried over and slammed his hands down on Paul's boss's desk.
"Turn me into a pony."
"... What?" Paul's boss just stared up at Gary. He looked dead serious.
"You turned Paul into one somehow, so I want you to do the same to me," Gary pleaded.
"Why do you want to be a pony?" Paul's boss asked the looming question. Gary backed off from the desk and took a deep breath.
"I've gotten pretty close to the ponies in the short time they've been here. I mean, they're friendly, and nice, and optimistic, and pleasant, and they don't make me feel hopeless."
"So where does wanting to be a pony fit in with all that?" Paul's boss inquired.
"In the first time for a long time, I really think I've made friends! I wanted to go do stuff friends do together with them, but then I found out humans can't go to Equestria; however, if I was a pony, I could go. So I want you to make me a pony!"
"Hey." Paul's boss and Gary turned to see Paul standing in the doorway. There was something different about him.
"Paul? Why aren't you a pony?" Gary questioned, sprinting right up to Paul. Paul leaned back and moved around Gary to get into the office, completely ignoring Gary's question. "Paul? Paul!"
"Quiet," Paul commanded Gary without looking back at him. He shuffled up to his boss's desk and addressed him. "Somebody calling herself 'Princess Celestia' showed up at my office. She gave me these questionnaires to hand out to everyone." Paul's boss inspected Paul up and down.
"What questionnaires?" he asked.
"I already handed them all out," Paul revealed. Neither Gary or Paul's boss were sure how to react.
"You just handed them out... just like that?" Gary asked. Paul nodded.
"I left one on your desk."
"What about me?" Paul's boss questioned.
"I don't have one for you."
"Well, can you tell me what it was about?" Paul reached up and scratched his head through his sheet.
"I don't feel like explaining it. I have temps to train anyway," Paul yawned.
"Alright, I'll just go ask someone else," Paul's boss sighed as he reached under his desk. He lifted up a bucket of water and set it in front of himself. "I wonder why Princess Celestia went to you and not me..."
"Don't know, don't care," Paul droned. His boss took the bucket of water and threw it onto him. Without another word, Paul turned and exited the room. As he walked out the door, a horse's rear end emerged from underneath his sheet. Gary just looked on in disbelief.
"Uh... do you have any more of that?" he asked.
"Any more of what?" Paul's boss stashed the bucket back under his desk. "You should get back to work now," he instructed Gary.
"Wait, but-"
"You heard Paul. He gave you that thing from Princess Celestia, so hurry and fill it out. Come back and tell me what it was when you're done." Paul's boss motioned for Gary to take his leave. Unable to come to terms with his frustration, Gary turned and left to do as he instructed; however, Gary would not return and reveal the contents of Princess Celestia's survey.
