Flabtastic Four
[At Mocha?s house...]
"Mocha dear, your mother and I are growing more concerned about Chatrina. She needs to be able to walk on her own," stated Mr. Cream.
"I know and I?ve invited Truffle and Sarah from class over to help if it?s okay," replied Mocha.
"That?s a wonderful idea, dear. We need all the help we can get," answered Mrs. Cream. *doorbell rings*
"I?ll get it," stated Mocha. *she opens the door*
"Hello gorgeous," remarked Truffle.
"Hey Mocha," added Sarah.
"Come on in," responded Mocha before moving out of the way.
"Whoa, is that Chatrina?" questioned Sarah.
"Yep, that?s her but try not to mention her weight. It?s very upsetting to her," warned Mocha.
"We won?t," assured Truffle.
"We?re unsure how to deal with her problem. All we know is that she should be about Mocha?s size and needs a way to be able to walk and slim down with exercise," stated Mrs. Cream.
"That is a problem. I think nutrition is the first step but what if there was a machine to let her walk somehow?" suggested Sarah.
"Now there?s an idea, though I?m afraid we don?t have anything like that on hand, nor do we know where to get one, if it even exists," noted Mr. Cream.
"What if we made one?" asked Mocha.
"Hmmm, another interesting idea. We would need to draw on paper what it would look like too.
"It could be like a treadmill with hoof attachments," stated Truffle.
"I think we?ve got it," concluded Mrs. Cream.
"We need the materials but I think I have what we need as I work with metal all the time at work," replied Mr. Cream. *he heads downstairs*
"How exciting, I?m finally going to help a pony, or rather an entire family," said Sarah excitedly. *Mr. Cream returns with the supplies*
"We can?t put it together here so let?s go to my work place where the metal is done. Chatrina will have to stay here with your mother," explained Mr. Cream. [At Mr. Cream?s workplace called "Metallic Mountain"...]
"It?s big," noted Sarah.
"Yes it is. Come on inside and I?ll give you the tour," requested Mr. Cream.
"Is it always this noisy?" asked Mocha.
"Yep, usually. We often deal with metal a lot. It?s also really dangerous here though so when we reach the spot, you all will wait in the next room okay?" replied Mr. Cream.
"Okay," agreed the others.
"Here we are. I?ll get to work and you all can watch from the other room," finished Mr. Cream. *The others head to their assigned room*
"Wonder how big it?ll be?" asked Sarah.
"It has to be pretty large for Chatrina?s sake," answered Mocha.
"Has to be sturdy too," added Truffle.
"That too," agreed Mocha.
"Wish I could help with what your dad is doing but I respect his decision," said Sarah. [Two hours later...]
"It?s done!" declared Mr. Cream. *The others come look*
"Hadn?t expected that, even though I saw the drawings," said Mocha.
"What do you call it?" asked Sarah.
"The Weight Walker," answered Mr. Cream.
"Nice name," remarked Mocha.
"Thanks, dear. Now we just need to get this thing home. Can I trust you all to help?" replied Mr. Cream. *The others nod and help carry it home* [Back at home...]
"You?re back and what a device that is," noted Mrs. Cream.
"How does it work?" asked Chatrina.
"Once we hook it up to you, you?ll be able to move around using your hooves," explained Mr. Cream.
"Only thing to do now is get her into it, which isn?t going to be easy," concluded Mocha.
"We?ll do it together," added Sarah.
"I look forward to mobility again!" proclaimed Chatrina.
