Chapter 2: New Recruit and Friend
-----
Later, the circus train pulls into a station.

"This is the closest we're going to get to where we lay the Big Top." Kowalski says,

"Then this is our stop!" Skipper says, "Rico!"

Rico pulls on the train's brakes and gets it to stop in the station.

In the cars, Marty notices the train had stopped.

"I think we're here." Marty says, looking out one of the windows.

Just then, Private enters the boxcar.

"We've arrived at our next stop!" Private says, "Rest while you can!"

"OK!" Marty says,

Meanwhile, the chimps were in the locomotive, putting on their King of Versailles costume.

"Kowalski, you ready?" Skipper asks,

Kowalski pulls out a device and pushes some buttons on it.

"Ready for action." The device says,

"Good." Skipper says,

Kowalski gets into the costume as the chimps leave the train. In the boxcar section, Marty was looking at the photo again.

"Thinking about true love again?" Stefano asks,

"Yeah." Marty says, "I'm just wishing I could find mine very soon."

Suddenly, a knock is heard at the boxcar door.

"Who is it?" Marty asks, looking through a window.

"It's us." Mason says,

"Mason?" Marty asks, "What is it?"

"We have a new recruit." Kowalski says, "We thought we'd let her stay with you."

The sound of the word "her" made Marty's eyes open widely.

"Really? Then let her on in." Marty says, opening the door.

After the door opens, Marty is surprised by what he sees: A black and white paint horse. The white color covered her face, her legs (except for the right hind leg) and most of her underside and went around her waist like a belt, the rest of her body was covered in black. She also had a long pure white mane and tail, two large white spots, one on the left side of her neck and on her right shoulder, and ocean blue eyes. Marty instantly fell in love, when the horse looked at him, she instantly fell in love too.

"H-hi." The horse says shyly,

"Hi." Marty says, "Would you care to come in?"

"Sure." Eunice says,

Marty extends a hoof for the horse to hold onto. Taking the message well, the horse stands on her hind legs like a human and uses her own hoof to hold onto Marty's. Then Marty helps her board the boxcar and the door closes.

"Thanks." The horse says,

"No problem." Marty says, "The name's Marty."

"Eunice." The horse says, "Eunice Bluegrass."

"That's a nice name." Marty says,

"Thanks." Eunice says, blushing a bit.

"By the way, how'd you come here?" Marty asks,

"It happened when my owner needed money to pay for his ranch." Eunice says,

Flashback, about a few hours ago…

Somewhere else in the same state, a there were a bunch of horses in a corral. Eunice was one of them. She looked completely different from the others as she was the only paint horse in the herd. That wasn't all that made her look different though, she was shorter than every horse in the corral and was often picked on for being the smallest.

"Careful circus pony, you don't want to get stepped on here." One of the stallions says,

"Get lost." Eunice says,

"Just don't get too close to the others." The stallion says, "You wouldn't want to spook them."

Just then, a human comes into the corral and slowly places a lasso around Eunice's neck.

"Come on, girl." The human says, gently tugging on the lasso.

Eunice obediently listens to the human's order and follows him into a stable. The human leads her into a stall and as he removes the lasso, he noticed the sad look on the paint horse's face.

"Don't worry, Eunice." The human says as he places a hand on the paint horse, "Someday, you'll be in a place where no one will push you around because of your size and color."

"I hope so." Eunice says, even though the human couldn't understand animal language. "I'd also give anything for a friend who can understand me."

Just then a police car pulled into the area and the human from earlier walked out.

"Sheriff Wilbur, what brings you here?" the human asks,

"Hi Jake." Wilbur says as he exits his car, "It's that payment again."

"Really?" Jake asks,

"Yes." Wilbur says,

"I'm afraid I don't have the money." Jake says,

"Sorry to hear that."  Wilbur says, "Do you have something you can sell for the money?"

"Well, I do have a paint horse who's been mistreated by the other horses around here." Jake says, "I've been meaning to give her a better home."

"Well, if you think it's a good idea." Wilbur says,

Eunice had heard every word of Jake and Wilbur's conversation and was surprised that she may be sold. She knew that she'd be free from getting bullied by the other horses but knew she'd be separated from the only friend she knew in the process.

"If I'm sold, who'll I find to be friends with?" Eunice asks herself,

Later, Jake took Eunice to the train station in search of someone who'd be able to give the paint horse a home. Then he saw the King of Versailles exiting the locomotive of the train that just pulled into the station.

"Excuse me?" Jake asks from behind the King,

The King of Versailles turned around so he could see who called at them. Then they see Jake walking up with Eunice in tow.

"Yes?" the King asks in a rather high-pitched voice,

"I'm trying to find a good home for Eunice here." Jake says, pointing to the paint horse. "The other horses I have don't get along with her and I don't have any of the necessary supplies she needs."

"What's the price?" the King asks,

"At least $150." Jake says,

The King of Versailles hands over the same number of cash in American dollar bills.

"Thank you." Jake says, then he turns to Eunice. "Good luck, girl."

Eunice gives Jake a gentle nudge in understanding. Then Jake leaves and heads for home.

"Come with me." The King says as he takes the lasso,

Eunice obediently follows the King of Versailles, taking a short glance to look at her previous owner before she's taken to the boxcar section of the train.

End of Flashback…

"So that's how you got here?" Marty asks,

"Yes." Eunice says, tears starting to form in her eyes. "He was my only friend, I didn't think we'd go our separate ways so soon."

"It's OK." Marty says, placing a comforting "arm" on Eunice's shoulder. "I'm sure you'll make new friends with the circus members."

"You think so?" Eunice asks,

"I'm sure of it." Marty says,

"There's one thing I still don't get." Eunice says,

"What's that?" Marty asks,

"How that guy spoke in three voices." Eunice says, "The one who brought me to this boxcar."

"He may look like a human, but that's a disguise." Stefano says,

"Disguise?" Eunice asks, finally noticing the sea lion.

"Yes, under that costume are actually the chimps, Mason and Phil, who help run this circus." Marty says, "Mason's the only one who can talk, the one with the deep voice you probably heard is one of the penguins here."

"Really?" Eunice asks,

"You bet." Marty says, "I'm one of the four owners of this circus."

"Really?" Eunice asks, surprised and interested by what Marty said.

"You got it." Stefano says, "This is an all-animal circus too."

"All-animal circus?" Eunice asks,

"Wow, you're full of questions." Marty says, "Either way, Circus Zargoza here has only animals in it. No humans at all."

"Wow." Eunice says,

"And this here is my partner, Stefano." Marty says, pointing to the sea lion.

"Pleasure to meet you." Eunice says, "I'm Eunice Bluegrass."

"Nice to meet you too." Stefano says,

Just then, a penguin enters the boxcar.

"Marty!" Private says,

"Private, what is it?" Marty asks,

"Skipper says you're on in half an hour!" Private says,

"OK." Marty says,

"Either way, who's the new one that looks like a horse with spots?" Private asks,

"My name's Eunice Bluegrass." Eunice says, "And I'm a paint horse."

"Oh, sorry." Private says,

"No worries." Eunice says,

"Everything's almost ready though." Private says as he heads to where he entered the boxcar from, "Make sure to get backstage soon."

"You got it." Marty says,

"Wait for me'a!" Stefano says, following after Private.

"Want to come?" Marty asks Eunice,

"No, I don't want to get in anyone's way." Eunice says,

"Are you sure?" Marty asks,

"Hmm… OK." Eunice says, then she follows Marty into the Big Top.
