"Wanna see something cool?" Roscoe asked.
"Define 'cool'," Llewelyn said.
Suddenly, Roscoe was gone, replaced by a jet-black horse with rippling wings.
"Holy cow!" Llewelyn shrieked, jumping back.
"Holy horse, actually," Roscoe said, human again.
He shrugged and gave a characteristic flip of his bangs.
Llewelyn found it hard to close her mouth. "H-how did you do that?"
"I can do half-and-half too," Roscoe said.
Llewelyn's blue eyes grew huge as her boyfriend's wings shot like weeds from his shoulder blades. The feathers were sloppy and bent, growing all over the place, but glossier than glass.
Roscoe flipped his bangs. "Intimidating, aren't I?"
"Happy Halloween?" Llewelyn asked weakly.
He shook his head. "I'm the real deal, baby."
Llewelyn fainted. When she came to, she was lying face-up in the pasture, so still that a small green lizard had settled between her breasts.
She leaped to her feet and got a major headrush.
"Ugh," she moaned.
A soft whicker nudged her ears.
She turned to see Roscoe, her black pony, trot towards her. "Hey, boy," she said. "I just had the weirdest dream."
Roscoe's eyes twinkled. He stared straight at her.
Then, he flipped his bangs.

I started laughing so hard when I read this...right in the middle of Computers class!
That is really a cool story! I loved it!
All of the grammatical errors that I noticed were already pointed out by Azila, but I agree with the Moogles person about the lack of description for Llewelyn. I had an image of her in my head but, you know.
I loved the fact that it was so random! Great connection between the boy and the horse!
Woah, I wasn't expecting that. Great job!!
This really made me laugh out-loud.
Awwww I liked this.
It was a very cute and sweet story. Very nice to read.
I think you ended it perfectly. ^_^
Nice Job.
I thought the story was pretty cool, but I do think that you need to dramatize your character's reactions a little more. Also, some more detail would be nice, but overall I really liked it.
You might want to put something here about how Roscoe has questionable tastes, or that Llewelyn had seen one too many things Roscoe thought were "cool." Something to that effect.
Understatement of the century. Put yourself in Llewelyn's shoes: imagine your best friend randomly turning into a horse. You would probably scream and cry and throw things, run away in terror, scream more, and quite possibly end up in therapy. It would be traumatizing.
That doesn't explain how he does it. It might be better if Llewelyn said nothing at all, just stood there, staring.
Llewlyn's a masculine name. Any particular reason you gave it to a female character? (I thought she was a boy, until this point.)
This is pretty stereotypical female behavior. People rarely actually pass out from a surprise like that (it was the too-tight corsets of the era that gave birth to the idea that women fainted often and easily - which they did when they couldn't breathe properly.)
This is really awkward. "She heard a soft whicker" would be more than appropriate. Try to avoid writerisms like this one.
The ending was really neat. Admittedly, it used the [i]Alice in Wonderland[i] cop-out, but it was still cute.
I think the whole thing could use a little more developing; the characters, Roscoe and Llewelyn could stand to be fleshed out more, and the concept could be expanded on.
Very enjoyable. I liked the connection. My only fault is a lack of description of the Main Character. All we really nkow is that it's a girl, but other than that it's like looking at a hazy person. Perhaps try some sort of minor expansion to help us see her more clearly.
Haha...hilariously cool...
That was great. At first I was wondering why you were dumping us in the middle of a "guess what I've been hiding the fact that I'm an [insert monster here]."
I laughed so hard. XD Which isn't good, considering I'm in class. Excellent work!
That was cool! I like stories where dreams and reality coexist in a kind of creepy way!
However, there are a lot of grammalical errors and typos that make me think you haven't edited it
This needs to be spaced out. And also, make the moment that he turns into a horse more dramatic.
For some reason, that made me laugh when I read it.
Whisker, not whicker. A typo.
I think you should make Llewelyn's reaction more realistic. I don't know, but if my friend just turned into a big black horse... I'd be pretty scared.
So work on that. I think this piece should be longer. Right now you just have the bare minimum. Put in some descriptions... settings? Charactors? What do they look like?
Keep it up!
~Azila~
God! *hurts ches* that's funny!
