Lady Cecilia finished blowing the balloon and with a series of squeaks she twisted it into the shape of a sword which looked about as deadly as those given out by clowns at children's parties.
"Have at thee!" She shouted as the pantomime horse she rode began galloping towards the trio.
As we watched the Clown styled Knight, riding a top two people in a horse costume, charge at the monkey, riding a pig, riding a horse I absentmindedly asked Maedel. "Remember when this was about me being rescued by Princes?"
"There is too much plot to resolve before we can go back to you being captured by a witch again." Maedel chided me as if I was a child.
"I never said I wanted to go back to that!!" I turned and shouted defensively.
Meanwhile, Connie was trembling. The clown might only be armed with a balloon sword but it was still an awfully long way to fall off the horse for a pig if she got hit. Before she had time to formulate a plan the angry grey mare snorted and shot off toward the oncoming attacker. In seconds, the horses heads collided and the monkey lost its grip of Connies pig ears. Cecilia the clown swung at Connie but the fake horse stumbled backwards from the blow and her balloon sword missed Connie entirely, connecting with the grey mare instead! The monkey shot through the air landing on Cecilia's face screeching in monkey babble and causing her to fall to the floor.
"Aghh its true! Sir Trollop really is a Princess and she's leapt into my arms!" cried Cecilia as the monkey wrapped itself around her.
"That isn't me, its a freaking monkey!" said Connie, indignantly, not noticing the strange sheen that was spreading from the grey mares head through the rest of its body. The woman turned beasts hide became smoother, soft but springy. Connie soon noticed how her heavy pig body sank slightly into the horses body, as if it were empty, and how its fur seemed entirely absent, its black hair looked painted on!
"Oh no! She's turned into a balloon animal!" Connie exclaimed.
