10 Igor Gets Pumped

CHAPTER TEN IGOR GETS PUMPED Franny dribbled a couple drops of her formula onto her ponytail and grabbed her scissors. Franny's mom watched in amazement as Franny's ponytail turned into a full-size pony. Franny snipped it off and climbed onto its back, then grabbed her mom's purse as she galloped out the front door.

Igor started to follow her, but she paused and shouted back at him. "You're too deliciously furry! They'd gobble you up! Stay here with Mom!" Franny then reared up on her ponytail and galloped out of sight.

As Franny got closer and closer to the pigtails, she saw the destruction they had left in their path. On the streets lay dolls without braids, peaches without fuzz, and completely bald caterpillars. "How much hair can these things eat?" she said. By the time she caught up to them, they were munching up a wig store. "Hold it right there, pigs!" Franny shouted. Her pigtails stopped eating and ran toward her and her

beautiful pony. She pulled out her mom's cordless blow-dryer and hit them with its full force. "I'll bet this will make you more manageable!" she shouted.

But her idea didn't work out as she'd planned. It just made the pigtails fluffier and puffier. They were even bigger now than before. "I guess I don't know how blow-dryers work," Franny said. "I should have paid more attention to Mom."

Back at home, Igor watched in horror as the pigtails loomed over Franny on TV. He raced up the stairs, grabbed some things from Franny's lab, and bolted out the door.
