All-Time High S1E15
Time to dive into what happened to give Calorie Estates its magic powers.
Why the Long Face?
"You may or may not know this, but everyone at All-Time High has the ability to transform into horses. Why horses? It's kind of a long story. The town has what is called Equine Magic, a substance that gives them their transformation powers. It was first discovered in an underground pipeline beneath the town we live in called "Calorie Estates", which is a pretty small town with the school in the center and houses around it. It's about as easy to get to as you could get. No need to take the bus or anything," began Kyle.
"So where'd the Equine Magic come from and how did we get it into us?" asked Marcus.
"It was imported through a pipeline few new about until it began leaking out into the air. The scent it gave off was the first clue, but until we inhaled it, it had no impact on our bodies. Once enough was inhaled, the transformation began. It didn't take long to complete and at some point, it was discovered that we could do it naturally. Basically, the substance became part of the blood stream and was carried throughout the body, where it ended up with the muscles. This is where we learned to do it ourselves," added Persephone.
"It wasn't easy because when only few of us had it, few believed it was a real phenomenon. We also weren't sure whether we'd like this change or not. Regardless, we had no idea how to get rid of it in case it proved to be a problem. Luckily we found it was the perfect solution to the short doorways at All-Time High. Our height was reduced about a foot in about 5 seconds when the transformation was complete. It was like looking at someone brand new, even though we knew them already. It wasn't easy to accept, though because they looked so totally different than we were used to," stated Sarah.
"Now, it's pretty much why we're famous. Calorie Estates has earned the nickname "Mane Street" as a result of the fiasco. Unfortunately it was never discovered where the substance originated from. It was meant to be water, but the substance was somehow transported though the same pipeline. We'll likely never know who was responsible, but if we ever find out, they deserve our utmost thanks. We've become one of the most original towns ever created. If anyone asked if we'd want to go back, we'd just say 'neigh'," finished Samantha.
