What if...

Based on the TV Show Modern Family - Disneyland Episode (E22, S3)

By Ana Garrido, Guilherme Lima and Helena Benain

Synopsis:

What if Napoleon had actually raised Clover and Muriel (who is supposed to be masculine) as siblings, because their mother, who used to, long ago, be married to Napoleon, had run away and left her kids with him. Boxer didn't die, and was married to Clover, who had together three foals, the older one called Clover The Second, the middle one called Marie Curie and the younger,  Boxer Junior. Muriel turned out to be gay, and was married to Moses, who together had adopted an asian monkey who was found lost in animal farm, whose name was Lily. A decade after, Mollie, who used to be Clover and Muriel's colleague, came back to Animal Farm with her son, Benjamin, and was now dating Napoleon, leaving a confusing and weird relationship within the family. In this episode, everyone goes to Disneyland for a fun family trip and is narrated by Napoleon.

Text:

It was Saturday morning, and everyone was excited for the family trip I had planned, except for Benjamin:

Can't you and Mom go without me? - complained Benjamin

You are the kid here. You go - I replied, so he answered:

Well, it couldn't come on a worse day, the technology sector is tanking!

Benjamin was doing this stock market project in school that I don't understand the purpose of, as they are using fake money. He was desperate as it was the last day until the deadline and he wanted to be rich.

Do you really want girls who only want you for money? - I questioned

I'd like to have that option… 

Benjamin, put the stock away, and put your Mickey ears on - walked in the room Mollie wearing high heels

Mom.. - murmured Benjamin - I don't think I have to wear these…

Be a kid! Put them on. - shouted Mollie, however, I was annoyed by her shoes, so I questioned:

Really? Those shoes?

What my shoes?

Do you know how much walking you have to do at Disneyland? Why do you think they have scooters for fat animals?

I like my high heels, I'm fine.

It's just like when you refuse to bring a jacket when I ask, and then you are cold and shivering, and I look like the jerk who won't give his girlfriend his jacket

Are you done with your boring jacket story? Because we're going to hit traffic.

Ok, but I'm not giving you my shoes!

While me and Mollie discussed, Boxer and Junior were into something.

Please, Please, Please! - asked Junior together with Boxer

Ok, but what is this - Marie asked walking in the room

We're making sure I'm tall enough to ride the rides at Disneyland without having to spike up my hair.

Buddy, we are good to go! - celebrated Boxer and Junior with a high-five - I've been waiting for this day ever since the doctor pointed to the ultrasound of your mom's womb and said "Either that's a fifth limb, or"…

Ok, no. Gross - interrupted Clover The Second

All right everyone, I want everybody to eat a lot at home because the happiest place on Earth is also home to the most expensive churro on Earth - demanded Clover walking in with a plate full of waffles

This is going to be sooo awesome - said Boxer while taking a big bite in his smiley-whipped-cream-face waffle.

After 2 and a half full hours on the road, we all arrived at Disneyland.

You know, I haven't been here since Dad brought us when we were kids - Murriel said to Clover

Oh yeah, remember? You cried in that Abraham Lincoln thing - replied Clover pinching my cheeks

He was a great president. And was the first robot I ever saw - I explained

Actually that day, me and their mother got into this big fight over something, not a surprise, so I ended up taking them on my own. Clover's biggest fear at the time was running into the evil queen, while mine was that I had married her

Okay people over 10 hands high, first stop, Indiana Jones!! - excitedly said Boxer

Have fun in the teacups, Lily - Junior made fun of the little monkey

Okay just a sec here everybody - said Moses clipping something into Lily's backpack

Is that a leash? - asked Mollie

No, it is a child safety tether! This way sweetie - Moses pulled Lily

It was a leash. What happens is, Lily was going through a phase in which she bolted every chance she'd got, so they decided to put her on a leash.

Lily sweetie, don't pull - asked Moses, so I of course said:

Lily, heel!!

Dad, please - complained Murriel, when suddenly Lily started barking - honey, you are not helping… Oh Moses, everybody is looking at us. I haven't been judged by this many people since I forgot my canvas bags at Whole Foods.

Well, but maybe they are staring because we have what they want - calmly said Moses, so Muriel ironically replied:

Sure, a pet daughter.

You know, I don't care what people think, if I thought it would keep my daughter safe, I would have a kangaroo pouch sewn into my midriff

Oh, that would work out really well for you! As a single parent. I'm done with it, let's just treat her like a free animal, like us, and she is going to act like one - so Muriel takes the leash off her - see?

Chip'n'Dale! - Lily starts running

Oh great - grumbles Moses - Now she's chasing squirrels! Lily! Come back!! - he shouts running after her

While everyone was leading to their first ride, there was Benjamin, in the phone:

Look, Ruben, I have some underperformers I have to unload and I don't have access to a computer, log in as "Ben10Jamin"

Benjamin! - called Mollie, but Benjamin ignored

By all means, Ruben, go get a Popsicle while the Nikkei closes, I don't want to be a pauper.

Come on! - Mollie pulled Benjamin

Mom! My stock just took a dive.

Your phone is the one about to take a dive! - she replied with anger

Where do we wanna go next guys? - I asked trying to break the ice

Let's go to the Jungle Cruise, it's right there! - answered Mollie

Why? Tired of walking on those heels?

No. Are you tired of having a hot girlfriend?

You know why the fight with Clover and Murriel's mother was actually about? I had taped a football game over an episode of Dallas. Who bails on a family trip to Disneyland over something like that? Ironically, Dallas was playing in the game. I remember pointing that out to her. But I also remember a video cassette flying at my head.

So Junior came running while I talked to Clover: 

Mom! - then came Boxer behind him, tripping every two steps - It was so awesome! The jeep was jerking around, and there was a lot of sharp turns and giant drops

Wow! Are you ok? - said Clover referring to Boxer

Great! Why wouldn't I be?

Because you are kind of leaning on me.

Well, isn't that what a marriage is?

Clover walks away behind Junior

You look like hell! - I pointed to Boxer

Yeah I do feel a little dizzy. I think that ride did something to me.

The fluid on your inner ear is thickening, Boxer. That's what happens when you get old.

Is it? - he replied upset

Yeah, you can't take the motion. I gotta pop a Dramamine to get in my swivel chair.

That is not it. I'm the king of rollercoasters! I think I just put too big of a whipped cream smile on my waffle this morning.

Junior comes back running while eating something:

Do you guys wanna go on Matterhorn?

Junior, I think me and your Dad are gonna sit this one out, maybe get something to drink

No! You're gonna have to get that drink on your own, Napoleon, I still have a few good years left, Junior!! Wait up!! I'll race you there!!

Boxer clearly did not have a "few good years left".

This was when Benjamin, with a grumpy face and Mollie, brushing her hair, arrived from the roller coaster they just had gone on

How was Splash Mountain guys? - I already knew Mollie had hated it

It was great! Maybe me and Benjamin can go again.

No thanks, there was no reception in there. You know how many bars I had? - Benjamin's phone rings - Ruben! Talk to me! - so he walks away

Must be nice to get out of those shoes for a minute. - I made fun of Mollie

I don't know what you are talking about.

Nothing. Oh, by the way, I took a picture of you guys in the Splash drop, let's see how it looks like?

Ok, Napoleon, ok. I took off my heels in there.

Just admit the shoes were a bad idea.

I am not in pain, I just didn't want my favorite walking shoes to get wet there - I knew she was lying

Ok, my bad. Well we've gotta meet everybody in Tomorrowland, so we'd better get moving because it's all the way on the other side of the park

I'm fine. You just try to keep up with me - she said grumbling and tripping. But I couldn't take Mollie suffering her high heels, even though she wouldn't admit. So I went into that Disney souvenir store, and bought the only pair of shoes there was in the store: Minnie Mouse's shoe slippers. I wasn't sure if she would like it, but I bought it anyway, and it wasn't cheap.

Mollie! - I called her

I'm fine, Napoleon. 

Look, you may not be in pain, but I'm in pain just thinking you're in pain, so humor me for one minute. - so I unpacked the slippers

What are those?

There wasn't a big selection of shoes at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique…

Are you crazy? I cannot walk around in public wearing these things. They are so yellow and so ugly and… and… they are so softy and so comfortable… Napoleon what is this? You are such a good man Napoleon… - Mollie said, hugging me. Of course she had loved them, and they weren't that ugly

Oh… I didn't expect you to be so nice Mollie. Now please don't get all humany when I say this. Is it possible you get angry, from time to time, because you are always wearing… uncomfortable shoes?

Maybe… Maybe they also have purple of these? 

Whatever you want Mollie.

And.. and we were going around a corner, and I was screaming, and I swallowed a bug! - came Junior back from the rollercoaster - What should we do next?

Sit down… - said Boxer tiredly coming behind Junior

Where are we gonna sit down?

The ground… Here. This is good. - so Boxer felt on the ground

Oh! Dad! Are you ok?

No buddy… I hate to say this but these rides are killing me…

But you are the king of the rollercoasters!

I know… Something happens when you get older… Guess you can't take it

Dad, we can always find cool stuff to do together… even if you're old and in a wheelchair, I can take you to the top of Sugarcandy Mountain and push you as fast as I can.

Really? You'd do that?

That sounds fun!

Do you still wanna talk or…

No, go Boxer. Ride Space Mountain, but in the end when they take a picture do something hilarious for both of us

Haha ok, you are gonna die!... when you see it, not because you are old. - so Junior goes away running, when suddenly:

Lily! Lily! Dad grab her! - so I instantly grabbed the little running monkey - Oh thank you, Dad - said Muriel putting the leash back on Lily

I don't like this thing - she complains

Well, I don't like running like a crazy through Downtown Disney. Oh Dad I don't know what to do! - but of course, I had a brilliant idea:

Muriel the leash is not the answer. I'll fix this in two minutes. Come on baby girl! - so I grabbed Lily's hand, and walked back into Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique - We'll be right back

While I was performing my brilliant plan, Mollie and Benjamin hadn't stopped arguing:

Benjamin, you don't look happy enough for a kid who is flying an elephant.

I lost at Durkas! That's not fair! Ruben ruined everything!

Fake money has changed you, Benjamin! Where is the Benjamin who used to stop to smell the roses? You've been so busy bearing your face in your phone that you barely said hello to your family!

Ok, you're right… What's that on your feet?

Slippers! They feel like clouds!

And that was when I came back with Lily, wearing baby high heels!

Look! I love them! - said the monkey to her fathers

Moses, look at this… she can't barely move. Thank you Dad.

Gathering the whole family back together Clover pointed out:

Oh Boxer, you look terrible… and you are burning! You might have the flu!

Oh… there were a bunch of guys working in the new windmill with me that got the flu. It makes sense! Junior, did you hear that? I've got the flu!! - both celebrated with a high-five. 

I guess it's been a long day, right everyone? - said Marie

No! No one goes home until we hit the Lincoln thing - I demanded

Ah..

Yawn.. - the kids protested

Don't even try to fight it. He made us go when we were kids. - mentioned Muriel

Come on guys! It's a robotic president! What 's not to love?

I actually cried in this Lincoln thing that day I forced Murriel and Clover to go with me as kids not because he was a good president, but because my plans were to end everything with their mother later that day. I don't know exactly what happened, maybe it was about what the robot said about a "man's duty" or keeping union, but it made me realize staying with my kids was way more important than any farm I have to lead or fight I have to fight, and at the end of the day, that trip was, over everything, an excuse to spend a day with my dear family.

André Arruda & Ricardo Crestana Synopsis: 

What if Benjamin secretly started teaching the animals how to read and comprehend what really had happened. How would they be able to start a second revolution? Read our fanfic and discover how Benjamin managed to lead a new revolution and if they were able to reestablish the order in the Manor Farm. K+

Since the first reading and writing class, Benjamin knew the intentions of the teaching pigs, he noticed that they were skipping teaching steps and hiding some of the things they knew, since then, he was the only one in notice that their intentions were not the best.

 The moment the teaching cycle imposed by the pigs ended, all animals knew at least how to read what was written in the 7 commandments. Although, Benjamin, noticing that that wasn't enough, decided to create a secret organization in order to teach the animals how to really read. And after the ordinary sunday meeting, when the pigs were already out, he announced to all the animals:

– Everyone invited, starting today, every Sunday at 4am we are going to have secret free classes given by myself. I don't want y'all talking about this with the pigs, later you will understand why, but by now just keep it a secret and trust me.

As time went by, animals started to learn how to read and understand the intentions of the pigs, but Benjamin, as always, kept telling them to hide their learnings from the pigs. At that time of the story, Snowball had already been kicked out of the farm, and all animals knew that Napoleon was the responsible for that, but lied that believed in the leader's story. One point of the donkey’s plan was to give Napoleon a fake sensation of power. The pigs thought they had control over the situation, they had no clue of the secret organization. 

Some days passed, and over the week, day by day, an anger grew in the animals towards the pigs. So on Sunday, as Benjamin planned from the beginning, one of the dogs, Marcus, announced the start of the second revolution against the pigs. Every animal agreed, expect Boxer:

– Why a revolution?

– Can’t you see all the corruption that the pigs are doing, you don’t feel tired with all the work that you have to do in the name of “progress for the animals”? - Marcus replied.

– But Napoleon said that I'm doing it for the good of the animals.

– You really think that? After everything we discovered about the pigs, the truth, how can you trust them? Are you paying attention to the classes?

– Relax Marcus, horses aren't the most intelligent species. – Benjamin interrupted – Just come here with me, I can explain it all back to you, no worries. The second revolution consists in three parts: For the first part, we are going to end Napoleon’s supremacy, tonight the pigeons are going to enter his room through the window and poison his morning water. As a second step, we have a goal to convert all the animals who work for Napoleon, if they keep protecting the leading pig, we will sadly have to kill them. In the third and final part, we’ll establish a new government, with me as a leader, and my most loyal followers as my counselors, and differently from the pigs, we promise a more equal and fair government. In order to prove that, we will even use plebiscites to decide the future.

After having it all explained, Boxer understood the plan and agreed to be part of it. On the night of this day, as they planned, the pigeons invaded Napoleon's bedroom by the window, and silently poisoned his morning water. The next day, Napoleon wakes up, and drinks the poisoned water without any concern. He walks to his balcony and rings the bell to wake up all the farm. After some minutes, all the animals appeared in front of the dormitory, looking for what Napoleon’s gonna say:

– Good morning comrades, today is a great day, cause today we start the week. Everyone be ready and start the hard work.

The animals started working hard like never before, the results after just one hour were incredible, and Napoleon thought to himself:

– Wow, these idiots are working like never before, and they’re happy. I never saw them like this, what a great day, it feels like this is my last day.

At lunch, Napoleon started feeling very bad, and after just some minutes he died. The animals acted as the worst day of their lives, but in their head they had a mission that was being completed perfectly. After lunch, Benjamin called everyone to a reunion about what will happen in the next hours, and after a few minutes discussion the animals went to their positions with everything planned for the next step of the revolution. The animals positioned themselves in the center of the farm, and Benjamin called out the dogs and pigs that were still on Napoleon's side, saying that was an important reunion about their leader's death. When everyone was together, Benjamin started trying to convince the odd animals that having himself as a new leader was a good idea, and that Napoleon's way of governance was bad and ineffective. At first the dogs doubted, but Benjamin said all the truth behind the 7 commandments, they changed their opinion. However, the pigs disagreed with Benjamin’s idea, and said that it would be better if Squealer assumed Napoleon’s post. The donkey at that point, was already expecting that this would happen, so to prevent a conflict, he ordered Boxer to kill the pigs. The horse killed all the pigs, so the second step of the revolution had been concluded.

 Now is time for the third step, the easiest of them all. Benjamin took the charge, and he acted as expected, sanctioning the plebiscites,  the very first law of the new farm called “Animal Farm”, just like it was in the beginning.

The new leaders even remastered the music “Beasts of England”, and taught all the animals how to sing it, they would do it as a coral every sunday night. No one could stop them anymore, this time it will go all right. No traitors, no hiding from the government and only progress.

“New beasts of England

Beasts of England, Beasts of Ireland

Beasts of ev'ry land and clime

Hearken to my joyful tidings

Of the golden future time

Soon or late the day is coming

Tyrant pig shall lose his throne

And the free fields of England

Shall be leaded by real beasts alone

the lie shall vanish from under our noses

And the harness from our back

the 7 commandments shall rust forever

Cruel whips no more shall crack

Riches more than mind can picture

Wheat and barley, oats and hay

Clover, beans, and mangold wurzels

Shall be ours upon that day

Bright will shine the fields of England

Purer shall its waters be

Sweeter yet shall blow its breezes

On the day that sets us free

For that day we all must labor

Though we die before it break

Cows and horses, geese and turkeys

All must toil for freedom's sake

Four legs good, two legs bad

Pigs are the only anomaly

For what they did in the past

We must not work jointly

Beasts of England, Beasts of Ireland

Beasts of ev'ry land and clime

Hearken to my joyful tidings

Of the golden future time”

Synopsis:

What if Napoleon had poisoned the Old major? And what would happen if Napoleon found Old Major’s plans? This is a story narrated by Old Major, in his past life telling his opinions about what was going on at Animal Farm.

The story:

    Old Major’s journal: I can’t take this life anymore, I’m getting too old to live like this, Mr. Jones is making me starve out here, and I don’t want it anymore. But how am I going to make some difference? I guess I will need to get rid of Mr.Jones, but for that, I will need help, I can’t do it by myself… I'm going to schedule a meeting with every animal on this farm at night in the barn when we won’t be found. I told Snowball to warn everyone about the meeting.

 That night, everyone on the farm was there, except for Moises. I told everyone that we plan to wait for Mr.Jones to get drunk, and kick him out so that we could create a better place to live, take care of the farm ourselves and take care of each other. They just don’t know that I plan to create a democracy here at the farm, my plan is to rise and become the boss out here, but so that can happen I need the other animals to believe in my democracy plan.

When Mr. Jones arrived, it was time to put the plan into action. Snowball created a tactic to drive Jones and his men away, and I think that it will work. I would’ve never imagined that he would make such a good plan, but what matters now is that it worked. Now, with Mr. Jones out of the way, I can continue with my plan, but now we all shall go to sleep.

The next morning, somehow I could see my own body laying on the bed, I couldn’t move. I heard the animals calling my name, I answered them, but they kept calling me, it looked like I didn’t say anything. After they tried to call me a bunch of times, they came to my room and saw my body, they were shocked by what they were seeing. “Why isn't he moving?” asked Snowball, to which Napoleon replied “He is dead.”, “But why did he have to die just now?” said Boxer, “I guess he died because he was too old to continue living”, Napoleon replied, but wait is that what happened? Did I die or did someone kill me? but who would have done that, oh wait, I drank from a cup that Napoleon gave me…could  that be it??

Later that day, they started to decide who was going to take my place, and the pigs appeared to be the only ones who wanted it. And well, for me, that’s good, because it maintains my hierarchy. The animals started voting, Snowball got 18 votes and Napoleon got 15 votes. Not satisfied with the results, Napoleon sent the puppies up to Snowball to expel him from the Animal Farm. For my happiness, Napoleon’s plan didn’t fall through, and that made all the animals keep a look out for Napoleon. I really want to see what Napoleon is going to do, because nothing from my plans ever considered not having the support of the animals. For now, I guess we can say that Napoleon's plan, to follow my plan, is not going great…

Napoleon proceeded with the 7 commandments, the pigs like I imagined would happen, became the animals with most power at the manor farm and at least Mr. Jones was far away. My goal now is so that the other animals don’t find out that Napoleon killed me, because once they know that he killed me because of my plans, and that he found them, and poisoned me, and want them to work for him.

A few nights later, after everyone went to their sleep, I was watching Napoleon outside, with my journal, when suddenly we both hear a noise, a bark, “woof woof” when Napoleon turns around, he sees the puppies, and behind him, Snowball and Boxer trying to understand the situation. When finally they ask “umm…Napoleon what is that?” “this? oh! this is a, a journal!” “I didn’t know you kept one…can I see it?” “wait you wanna see it? no you cannot `` ''and why is that?” “because um, the journal is not mine” “then whose is it?” “Old Major’s of course!” “and why do you have Old Major’s journal??” “because I found it…and now I can’t stop reading it” “give this to me! now” “I don’t want to” “why do you want to keep his journal? what did he have in there?””oh nothing much…just some plans” “plans? what was he planning for?” “that I can’t say…its a surprise” I guess Snowball caught Napoleon completely off guard! What just happened here? Let’s just hope that no one finds it and read’s it, that would just ruin my life!

The next morning Boxer went to find Snowball, to tell him that they should somehow get rid of Napoleon for the day to look for the journal. Oh no… where did Napoleon hide this thing!?  Let’s hope that in a good place.

After hours and hours of looking, they had nothing, and I’m starting to wonder where my journal went, it was nowhere to be found! I’m interested to see what Napoleon did with it… I’m starting to get used to this dead thing, I can see absolutely everything that's going on! But wait, Napoleon also disappeared! I haven’t seen him all day! 

It’s now nighttime, no one had seen Napoleon until he suddenly appeared. I was asleep so I don’t know where from but as soon as I heard his voice I woke up.  He was talking to the puppies, trying to get rid of the rest of the pigs. The puppies didn’t seem to understand why the pigs had to leave, because Napoleon couldn’t explain that he had a plan to become a dictator. After some convincing, it worked, well kind of. The puppies did try to expel, but Snowball quickly caught up to what was going on, but he didn’t say anything to anyone. He waited till everyone was asleep again, and went to the same place that he found Napoleon yesterday.

There he waited, and waited until he finally found an opportunity. He quickly grabbed the journal from his hands and started to run for his life, and I don’t know what to expect anymore. Why couldn’t anyone smarter have found my journal? Napoleon lost him but I can still see him. He is digging a hole, to hide my journal. I hope he forgets where it is.

At this point no one knew what was going on anymore, they were starting to starve and let’s just hope someone becomes the true dictator.

Like a week later, Snowball still hasn’t found the journal. So I guessed everything was going well, until I said that, that day he looked for it all day long, and found it. He immediately started to read all my plans, about how to become the dictator of the Manor Farm, and how to trick them into thinking it was becoming a democracy.

Snowball was in shock, he called in a meeting with every animal, he then proceeded to read parts of it and speak parts of it, and then told everyone that Napoleon had it and was trying to follow my plan, but he had no proof of that. At least not until the puppies all rised to tell them that Napoleon tried getting rid of the pigs.

Synopsis: 

Humans from other farms use something they can’t control and don’t really understand in order to infiltrate Animal Farm and gather information on the revolution so that they can try to avoid it in their own farm. The problem is they used magic to become animals themselves, but they can’t come back to being humans again, and their human friends can’t understand them, as they dont speak “animal” language. Also, with their animal paws, they can’t undo the magic by themselves, and their human friends can’t understand them, so they are stuck as animals forever, or are they gonna find a solution.

FanFic:

During a rainy night, a scientist called Hughmman was almost finishing a scientific experiment. His invention was going to finally reveal the secrets behind the Animal Farm. A revolutionary idea. Everybody used to call him crazy, but he was going to show them all, they were all wrong. Hughmman was a genius. A whole life developing this project to infiltrate himself into the farm and discover all the secrets behind Animalism and the revolutionary sistem.

He gets into the machine to screw some screws when suddenly a lightning bolt hits his house. The power turns off and when it comes back… the machine turns on. The scientist was extremely afraid and suddenly he passed out. Hours go by and when he finally returns to consciousness he panics, looking at his reflection off the shining metal of the machine. He realizes that he is no longer Hughmman, he is a fox. The machine was not yet complete and therefore he couldn’t go back to being a normal human.

Anyways, he must keep going with his plan, look up to the map on the wall and head his way towards Animal Farm. Arriving at Animal Farm, he sees the farm’s main gate, guarded by six guard dogs, so he asked whether he could join the animalism cult. The last thing he sees is the gatekeepers approaching him. He blacked out. 

The fox woke up confused, in some sort of dark environment. It seemed like it was a basement. The only source of light was a single light bulb hanging over his head. He looked down, just to realize he was tied to a metal chair. In front of him, he could see 2 silhouettes. The heavy metal door opened in front of him and a big fat pig with a peaked cap and another guard dog by its side entered the room. Questions like “why are you here?”, “what do you want?”. Scared, Hughmman said that he had enough of the humans, all he wanted was to join a farm driven by animals, in which he wouldn’t fear to be hunted day and night and would be treated with the deserved respect. Of course he was lying. He wasn’t even an animal until a little while ago. He never “feared being hunted by humans”, let alone wanted to be part of a farm driven by animals,  just this idea by itself seemed stupid in his mind, but he needed to keep going with the character if he wanted to make it inside Animal Farm, and so he did. Napoleon said “Cut the bullshit I know that you’re a human. You don’t know how to act as an animal, there are only a few animals in this existence who walk on 2 feet. How do you have this knowledge? Tell me or we’re going to make a hat out of your skin” the fox responded “Ok, I’ll tell you.” The fox explained everything. Napoleon said “I see… I see. Honestly, I got some unsolved shit, if you can help me with that, I can get you some help to fix your weird machine.”

The favor involved killing Snowball, the traitor. Hughmman accepted it and the task was probably going to be very easy, considering that he was a human and Snowball was a pig. He packed a few things and went to the farm where Snowball was supposedly at.

After a little walk, Hughmman finally got to the farm where Snowball was located, there, he asked if he could join Snowball, becoming an ally. Snowball was not sure if that was a good idea, but as he had just been kicked out of the Animal Farm and, therefore, had no one to ally with, he accepted Hughmman as one of what he thought would be many allies. 

A few weeks later, Hughmman started acting a little suspicious, but it wasn’t enough for Snowball to realize it. During a rainy night, Hughmman was outside the farmhouse, after his work time, digging a hole about the size of an average grown pig. Snowball was looking from inside the house, through the window, he finally realized what could happen to him in the next few minutes.

Going down the stairs to check out on Hughmman, Snowball asked why was him working for an extra time, “ I need to solve some shit for a friend of mine” said Hughmman, turning around with a pickaxe on his hand, he hit it right on the center of Snowball’s forehead. Blood was squirting, the grave Hughmman had just digged was filled with water, Snowballs corpse was standing there, floating, while the fox buried the pig as if it was nothing, afterwards, he went inside, heading to the pig’s office, there, he hanged the pickaxe he just used to kill him, on the wall, as it it was a trophy, an achievement. He also took a picture to show Napoleon that the job was done. 

Beatriz Fragoso and Juliana Casselhas

We all know that  Old Major knew that he was going to die, even though he wasn't sick. It's important to add that he was already telling the animals the  importance for them to take responsibility and to take the revolution seriously. Consequently, as soon as the animals knew their leader had died, they all started wondering how the Old Major knew that he was going to die and why did he want them to do the revolution.

What if, then, all of the animals that got "old" and aren't prepared to die, and would only get to the point when they were sent away to be killed? What if Old Major, the father of the revolution, didn't actually die because he was old, but because it was his time to get killed?

What if the animal farm was actually a slaughterhouse, a place where the humans would feed all of the animals till they got to the right conditions to be sent to the industries to be killed and sold as food?

Old Major knew he was going to die because he had a strange dream and he was thinking of communicating to the other animals about it. But, instead he started to think about his own life. He knew that he was going to die even though being in perfect conditions, so he  gave up  on doing the speech 

Old major had heard a conversation between Mr.Jones and one of his employees saying that the animals had no future if not for their tragic death. From that on, the old pig  built a plan to save the future of the other animals, having in his sight that it was too late to save himself. 

The plan consisted of a revolution against their owner, Mr Jones, and it would be led by the pigs, who were considered the most clever one's in the farm. The point of the revolution was to push the humans away, so they would avoid being killed and sold in local markets. 

As Old Major knew the day he was going to be assassinated, he decided to call a secret meeting with the pigs and explained it all to them. As the pigs were very frightened by their unexpected and awful future, they took the responsibility to look after the other animals, and to run the plan. The pigs decided that they wouldn't tell the other animals the future so they had to not cause any more distractions, so they just justified the revolution by saying that they were living in horrible conditions and no longer could be treated as inferiors by humans, so they needed to change it the sooner the better. 

As the revolution was happening it all seemed to be going really well. There was a big fight between the humans and the animals, it lasted days and more days, there was a lot of blood and sweat. During the nights one part of each group stayed looking out for each other, and after they alternate the groups. After a long time the revolution was over, and the humans realized that they were weaker and left the farm.  Everything was going how they planned, until the neighborhood farm gave a business offer that consisted of the idea that

the animals could live in peace and have the farm by themselfs, as long as the leaders of the farm could give them a couple of animals. Right when they received that offer they immediately thought about declining it, since it went against Old major principales, where all animals were equal and well treated. However they realized that if they didn't accept the offer the other farms would make their lives miserable, by torturing them for all infinity, and actually tattle taling them to other humans, telling them all the benefits of killing the animals, so the pigs began to reconsider their offer, because it was a life or death situation.  

Consequently, the pigs prepared a business meeting only between them to discuss the offer. They all went to a place in the barn where Old Major principles were hanging on the wall, so they could always think of them when making important decisions like this. They stayed a long time in this meeting and the final conclusion they made was that getting rid of some useless animals would be better than compromising the entire farm. Everyone agreed with this conclusion, in exception of Snowball, he didn't think this would be the fairest choice, he even threatened the pigs by saying that he would tell the other animals. 

As the pigs didn't like Snowball's position, they decided that he would be sent firstly to the farmers, to avoid bigger conflicts, because as they knew snowball could do a big revolution just because he didn't agree with something and they didn't need more problems in their plate. They justified Snowball's disappearance saying he was an enemy that had betrayed the farm and the animals and couldn't stay anymore in the farm. The animals didn't look too much into it and let it go easily. 

 From that day on, Napoleon and the other pigs started getting rid of some of the animals, however, with the snowball's disappearance and some of the other animals too, everyone else started to suspect that something was going on. In the meantime the pigs were acting normal, as if nothing was happening and every time an animal asked the pigs about these animals they kept on saying that everything was fine.  

Further on, even the stupidest animals had in mind that there was something going with the pigs and that they were hiding something from them. They realized that there was a pattern: all of the lazy and useless animals were the ones who went missing in the past few days. So, secretly, the animals built a plan behind the pig's backs, to follow them around and investigate the situation and the unexplained events. 

As soon as they started to go after the pigs, they discovered the whole situation, they were discredited by the wickedness of the pigs, and how they managed to send away their own friends. 

From that day on, they started hunting down the pigs and a big fight had beggin, this time it was a fight where animals were on both sides, the pigs had already turned on their companions, but this fight was the turn of the angry animals to take revenge on their fake friends. The pigs were losing very hard in this fight, so there was a point where they  just gave up and went away from the farm.

Synopsis:

What if Benjamin and Boxer were a couple? Well, that's what happened. But do you think Napoleon would only sit and approve their love? No. Our fanfic puts you inside Napoleon’s mind, showing his deepest fears, emotions and the reasons behind his actions. So it”s a mix of past, while telling Napoleon’s backstory, and present, showing how the farm reacts to a gay relationship. To learn about all the trauma behind this important character and to get to know Boxer and Benjamin a bit better, read our full story here.

A beautiful spring afternoon. The farm was finally at peace. Everyone was happy because now they would be able to have food, and not were not starving, like how it happened during the winter. But some animals were happier than others. Boxer and Benjamin were enjoying their afternoon together. 

The relationship between them was not oficial, but the gossip spoke for itself. Nobody said anything, but the two animals were always wondering: if our relationship was public, would Napoleon accept us? 

Napoleon had always been a hard part of their relationship. Boxer thought he was such an inspiring leader, who would do anything to make their lives easier and better overall. Benjamin, however, was more skeptical, and didn’t trust the leader. He was always telling Boxer to stop believing and working endlessly for Napoleon. 

chapter 1

As always, Napoleon was sitting on his bed, sipping on Mr Jone’s most expensive wine, just chilling. That’s when, out of nowhere, Squealer entered the room, running, out of breath. 

NAPOLEON! NAPOLEON! - he yelled - You won’t believe what I just witnessed! Boxer and Benjamin are a couple!

Napoleon immediately spat out all his wine. The bedsheet was ruined. 

WAIT, does that mean that they are a GAY couple- he said, with tears on his eyes

I’m afraid so, master

I need to deal with this immediately! This is absolutely unacceptable!

Yes… unacceptable…- Squealer responded without much conviction. 

chapter 2

On their way to the emergency meeting, all the animals were trying to guess what was going on. Benjamin was the only one to even consider and realize that the meeting could be about him and Benjamin. He did notice Napoleon looking at them weird, but no one else seemed to see that. 

The walls were painted with black, white and gray. This reminded Benjamin of when he was at school and he drew straight flags to pretend to be straight.

All animals went inside the barn, and, for a minute, everyone was silent. And then Napoleon finally said:

Comrades, it has come to my attention that homossexual tendencies have been happening on the farm. This is unexceptable. We do not accept this kind of behavior. This will not do any good for us. IF you see anything related to this issue, you must report it immediately. I do understand that there are beautiful animals. I myself would be tempted to act a certain way, if I were part of this movement. Not that I am… I'm just saying, I understand the temptation, however, we must follow the principles. We all know that this type of behavior gets us out of the sugarcandy mountain when we die. 

The animals were very confused with this last statement. Wasn't Napoleon against the tales of sugarcandy mountain? However this preoccupation quickly disappeared when Squealer came to speak with them and cleared up the issue.

chapter 3

Boxer comes to Benjamin:

He 's right! Darling, he's right! - he said, enthusiastically -  We must find the homossexuals that have been disturbing the farm! How could someone even do this? 

Hmmm… I’m afraid they were referring to our relationship, my love

But… ummm. We… we’re not… we’re not… homo-... homossexual.. ri- right???????? - That’s when he started crying - But we’re not homosexuals, we’re not doing any harm to the farm, are we? - now he was worried- Wait, are you saying that we’re being mean to them?

I'm not saying anything, Napoleon said those horrible things

Well, if he's saying that, it must be true! Napoleon is always right! WE MUST WORK HARDER!!!!

My love, this doesn’t work like this, we cannot control such things- he said, with anger in his eyes - if you keep believing everything Napoleon says blindly, this will not work! - that was the first time Boxer saw him showing that much emotion- You have to choose! Me or  Napoleon?

Hmmm - he said - I have to think… I mean, Napoleon is responsible for the farm surviving! 

He left. He just left. Leaving the love of his life alone. Benjamin just got up and left. Each one of them spent the rest of the evening crying, uncertain of the future. Couldn’t they just be happy? No, Napoleon wouldn’t allow that.

chapter 4

Napoleon’s point of view:

No one's gonna know. They’re gonna know. How will they know?

I never let myself think too much about this subject but, I mean, it is normal to think other men animals are extremely attractive. Right? That doesn’t mean anything. Definitely lol. I'm just overthinking. No big deal

LMAOOO why did I even think about this?????? OMG CRINGE

Okay now seriously: since I was a child, it was common sense that gay couples were unacceptable. My parents made sure I knew that. They used to say I was “different from the other pigs”, but not in your usual way.

Flashbacks start of my father. Anger on his eyes. The violence stuck with me forever. Tears start to fall, I try my best to avoid it. It doesn't matter. I don't even care. Please, dear Squealer don't come in now. I would hate it if he saw me like this. I stop crying. My parents built who I am today. Strong. Independent. A true leader. I guess I could tell you the truth. Afterall, those are only thoughts. I don’t really think they would make a big difference. Okay, I really do hate to admit this, but I hate my parents. I mean, they’re dead now but I still hate them. You know, I’ve always thought that I was different, but they didn’t allow me to feel that way.  But, at the same time, I could never admit that I hated them because, at the end of the day, they made me the leader I am today, and I could never run the farm and implement the changes I have, without their strict education. 

I do realize that this made me never really think about who I am as an individual, but they used to say that what matters is the legacy you leave behind. I basically built this farm. So I guess this means my legacy will mean something. 

I guess I must leave these weird feelings behind in order to run the farm more effectively.

chapter 5

Boxer was strolling around the farm, alone this time. He wondered what put him in that situation. Just yesterday, he was extremely happy, but then this whole homossexual thing came into the farm and now his situation was completely changed. Benjamin told him Napoleon was wrong, Benjamin said they were the homossexuals, and that was just fine. But Napoleon was supposed to be always right. His whole life, as long as he could remember, he knew he could trust Napoleon. Now, everything was different, and he didn’t know what to do. 

He thought many times of going after Benjamin, but he didn’t have the courage to do so. Even though he saw that he left because he was very upset with the whole situation, he didn’t really get it and felt upset.

Then, Clover pulled him aside and asked him what was wrong. He told her, with no filter, as she had always been like a mother to him. Clover felt very bad for him, and tried to explain, as well as she could, what Napoleon’s discourse meant. Boxer was heartbroken and didn’t believe Napoleon could say such things. As he realized what was actually happening, Boxer decided to go after Benjamin, after all, and try to make things better. 

chapter 6

Napoleon’s point of view:

Like always, I had a lot on my mind. You would normally assume that, since I’m the leader, I spend most of my time doing nothing. But that’s not actually true. I think. All the time. Actually, I overthink, a lot. On these moments, I always have Squealer by my side. He makes my days when I’m worried about the future. I hate it. It makes me a hypocrite. It makes me gay. This situation made me think a lot. Why do I see gay as a bad thing? Who made me believe that being gay is something negative? 

Comrade, are you okay? - he said. His sweet voice filling the room 

I guess my face expression showed way too much of my emotions

Yeah, sure, it’s just that… - What was I going to say? Could I just say that every night I go to sleep and he is the only one I think about? That my day is only good if he stays by my side? That the thing I worry the most about is him thinking of me as a dictator? I swear, God knows I swear, I would not do any harm to him. I swear, I swear…

Sir… sir? Are…are you crying?

I’m sorry…

That’s when I kissed him. I felt everything and nothing at the same time. I had nothing to lose. If he didn’t approve this, I would have to kill him. But, he kept going. He made me feel as if I was the most important animal in the world. We kept kissing until I stopped it.

Do you think this is wrong? - I said

Comrade, I don't know if this is some kind of test, but I need to be honest with you. I do have feelings for you. I’ve tried to hide it, I’ve done everything in my power to stop having these feelings. But I see beyond you. I get you, I do hope that, if any of this is true, that you accept you for who you truly are and that you get me too.

Ohhh, I’m so so sorry! I would never test you like this - I said and then I agreed with him - Okayyy, maybe I would. But you mean the world to me, I think, hum I think… I think I love you.

I love you too, master.

Please call me Napoleon

chapter 7

After looking around the farm for the whole afternoon, Boxer finally found Benjamin in a corner of the barn. The walls all around had Napoleon’s new rules written in them. Benjamin couldn’t help but forgive Boxer. After all, he really loved him. He could see now that Boxer actually tried hard to understand what bothered him. He saw he really had changed as Boxer took the cans of paint that were hidden around and handed Benjamin a paintbrush. Together, they repainted the whole place as Benjamin finally got the chance to explain to Boxer how he felt about the whole situation and how what Napoleon was doing was bad.

Fan Fiction text: 

The Return of the Revolution

After the battle of the windmill, news spread fast all around England through pigeons that Napoleon sent, trying to make the other farmers feel sympathetic towards Animal Farm and help them during the crisis. Hiding near the farm with only a small plantation to his survival, and some hay to sleep on during cold nights, one old pigeon was able to find Snowball, who started planning his way back to the farm. 

Snowball asked the pigeon to deliver a message to Old Benjamin: “Old Benjamin, this is Snowball, I want to meet with you on the next rain by the straw man in the corn plantation to talk to you about me coming back to the farm, please do not share these news with no one, giving that they might tell Napoleon about our plans, and it is substantial that he doesn’t know about my intentions. See you soon Comrade“. 

After the pigeon accepts the message and delivers it, Old Benjamin gets afraid to go meet Snowball because Napoleon might find out and kill him. But he remembers about the period when his comrade was co-leading and decides to go. There, Snowball explains the situation, making one ally on the inside. Benjamin tells him about what Squealer had told all the animals about Snowball, and how he was now considered to be a traitor. It was in that moment, that Snowball realized that Squealer was the most crucial part of his plan, due to the fact of how persuasive he was. Snowball asked Benjamin for one last favor, retrieving Snowball’s book about Julius Caesar strategies, the same book he used to protect Animal Farm when Jones came back. In the next rain, in a new spot, Benjamin delivered the book. Once he made it to the stall once again, all the animals were asleep, except for Clover, who was suspicious of Old Benjamin, she pressured him into telling her everything, giving that she wouldn’t tell on him.

Weeks passed and no signs of Snowball. Clover and Old Benjamin started to get worried he had been caught, or even worse, given up on the plan, but they decided to wait a little longer and have faith. Some more time went by and winter finally ended, the animal’s chores were even harder, and their rations had been reduced. Clover and Benjamin were starting to disbelieve Snowball, who had gone missing for a really long period, without leaving no clue whatsoever of where he may have been. That same night when they went to their stall to get a good night’s sleep before starting to reconstruct the windmill, Old Benjamin noticed a handwritten letter by his pile of hay, which read: Old Benjamin, this is Snowball, sorry for taking so long, reading the Julius Caesar book was harder this time, I have reasons to believe that Napoleon and his fellow pigs were using the book as a coaster, so some pages got wet. But I have been formulating a plan to get Napoleon out of the farm and restore Animalism, but I need your help. I saw that you told Clover about our plans, I need you to slowly find more animals that are on our side. I will be giving you more information on the plan as time goes by, I don’t want to risk everything we’ve been working for if this note gets intercepted. I am trusting you on this. See you soon Comrade”.

After reading the letter, Old Benjamin told Clover what was in it and they started planning their own way to spread the alliance. They were building the windmill and setting up Boxer and Moses’s minds to tell them that Snowball was coming back, and preparing them so that they were able to take the news and not share them with no one else. Couple of weeks later, Old Benjamin approached the two and started a conversation about how bad their working conditions had become. Both Boxer and Moses disagreed but after a while talking they realized that life in Animal Farm wasn't equal. As Clover arrived, herself and Benjamin told the two of them what was really going on and invited them to the alliance. They were quite shocked but after some consideration they decided it was about time Animalism was restored.

Slowly Clover, Boxer, Benjamin and Moses developed a methodology to approach the other animals to get them on their side of the alliance, first the hard working horses that worshiped Boxer were convinced by his speech about how poorly they had been treated, then the cows and hens who had been convinced by Clover that told them about how they had been explored, and how their milk and eggs had been consumed by the pigs. After approximately 1 month of hard work in the farm, and forming the alliance, a group of around 30 animals had joined Snowball’s group. Benjamin then told Clover, Boxer and Moses to keep finding more animal’s to fight on their side while he tried to get in touch with Snowball through that pigeon. A couple of months went by and the secret alliance was getting bigger and bigger. Benjamin finally had been able to find the old pigeon and was preparing a letter to Snowball that read: Snowball, this is Old Benjamin, our secret alliance has around 110 members of all kinds, Napoleon and the pigs don’t suspect anything, we are just waiting for your orders to keep the plan going. I feel like we shouldn’t expand the alliance much more because the animals that are left may tell Napoleon about our intentions, also I believe that the members should be separated into groups to organize who receives each type of information. See you soon, Comrade”. Summer was near and all the members of the alliance had started to feel happier than they had ever been. The work of the windmill was going extremely well, they had had a good harvest so their rations increased a bit, and everything got even better when Terrance, the old pigeon came back with Snowball’s response to Benjamin’s letter.

“Benjamin, this is Snowball, about your suggestions, I think that you are correct about not spreading the alliance, however about the other part I strongly disagree. Animalism states that all animals are equal so you must share with them everything that you read in my letters. Now you should organize secret meetings of the alliance members, and start to train them for the rebellion, first you should organize all animals into four groups: Medics, around 5 animals, Animals that can write and read, around 10 animals, pigeons and fighters, the amount of animals that are left. Clover can teach 4 animals of the medics group, You can teach 9 animals to read and write, Moses can teach the pigeons how to share a letter without being noticed and Boxer can teach the rest of the animals how to fight. I won’t be in touch for some months, the rebellion will begin after my next letter, I also have been studying more of the Julius Caesar book, and I am almost done developing the best offensive strategy against the pigs and their dogs. I must say that convincing Squealer would help us much in the revolution. If you have time after all four groups achieve their goals, try and contact him and get him on our side. See you soon, Comrade”.

After telling the other animals about the letter sent by Snowball, they started having secret meetings twice a week, in which they reported how the situation was in each of the four groups. They also discussed the changes they wanted to make after the revolution. Clover, Boxer, Moses and Benjamin would together share hope with the animals, who had gotten happier since they joined the alliance. It was decided that they wouldn’t expand the alliance, and everyone would keep quiet about when they weren’t on the stall during the meetings. Time went by and the animals had become really good at their roles in the revolution, Clover reported that her group was ready to help, and was now just waiting for further information about where they should position themselves when the rebellion came. Moses a couple of meetings later was able to notify the other animals that all the pigeons he had been training were now able to deliver messages without them having any chance of being intercepted. In the same meeting Boxer told the rest of the alliance how most animals he had trained were able to face the dogs. They were getting happier and happier as time went by, and were waiting on Snowball’s letter to finally end Napoleon’s tyranist government. After a long period, 10 meetings after Boxer’s report on the work with his fighting group, Old Benjamin told all the animals that his group was now able to read and write properly, and so he started working on another part of the plan, getting Squealer on their side.

Benjamin thought that it would be easier to convince Squealer if he went on his own, but remembering the principles of Animalism he sent a short letter asking to see Squealer on the stall, while the other animals would be having a secret alliance meeting, and then try to convince him into turning sides. Squealer decided to go, and once he arrived he was surprised after seeing the amount of animals organized during the meeting. Clover was reporting the situation of her group. Some animals were wondering if the letter from Snowball had arrived  and many pigeons were flying around with sheets of paper, training how to pass letters from one animal to another. He was indeed surprised and wasn’t understanding what was going on, but decided to listen to Benjamin before jumping to any conclusions. After being told about the rebellion plan and how Snowball had been involved from the beginning, Squealer was looking happy, but was really worried about the possible consequences. After some more talk, he told Benjamin that he would need some time to think about it.

While waiting for Squealer’s response the animals that were inside the alliance spent some more time training for the rebellion and going to the meetings. Napoleon and the other pigs continued their dominance on the farm without any knowledge of the alliance, the animals were feeling more confident than ever. Old Benjamin was getting everything organized and waiting on Squealer’s response about turning sides. They stopped receiving news, although they continued to have hopes. After one long month of waiting Old Benjamin got a letter: “Benjamin, this is Snowball, I’m not going to be able to go to the farm, because Napoleon’s dogs know my smell, and if I go inbounds of Animal Farm, they will chase after me. I now rest upon you the responsibility to be the leader of the other animals, restore Animalism. I leave it up to you all the choices that are going to be made from now on. I’d suggest that once they start getting the smallest suspicion, you act. You are ready to lead them. About the strategies I’ve been studying, I would do the attack circulating the farmhouse, with five strategic points with one medic, two pigeons and one writer on each point and five animals protecting each spot. As for the attacks, I would suggest separating in five groups, with 1 writer, 2 pigeons and a part of the animals that would go taking space from the pigs area, you may dig small holes in the ground for your protection, and create some traps before the rebellion. But all that is up to you, I am sorry that it has to be this way, I wish I could be there with you. Good luck, Comrade”. 

After reading the letter, Old Benjamin contacted the other animals that were in the alliance and told them what Snowball said. Most animals were shocked, and some thought that the rebellion wasn’t going to work without Snowball. Benjamin tried to calm everyone down saying that Snowball was just like the rest of the animals, and that the revolution was theirs as much as it was Snowball’s so it shouldn’t be stopped. He told them that things would go on as they had been, meetings would keep happening twice a week, he would start working on strategies and understanding the ones sent by Snowball, the other animals kept working on the farm, trying to hide their excitement about the revolution that was about to happen. The only thing that made Benjamin worry was that Squealer hadn’t responded yet. He developed a plan in case Squealer or anyone turned on the alliance, which consisted in an early beginning of the revolution that had as its first step, after the setup part, the domination of the windmill, that had gotten finally constructed just one month before the revolution. He also believed that after the war started, and before they took over the farmhouse, Napoleon would try to get in touch with Mr. Pilkington and Mr. Frederick who could interfere severely in the war if not taken care of. So as a solution 8 pigeons would be placed around the edges of the farm to spot anyone coming from the outside of the farm, and if nothing happened try to cut the power of the farm house so that the pigs wouldn’t be able to communicate with anyone outside of Animal Farm. For the rest of the plan he believed that the animals should, as Snowball said, circulate the farm house and slowly gain territory until they were able to make the pigs and their dogs get out and restore Animalism. There would have in each of the 5 fronts two pigeons ready to deliver messages written by the Writers Group to other fronts and to each front point, a name designed to a small base with a medic to take care of who got injured. In said front point there would be a medic, a writer and two pigeons. The domination of the windmill according to Benjamin had two purposes, the first one being to tell the pigs that they built the windmill, as a sign of rebellion and taking what was theirs. The second reason is that it had a great view of the battlefield which helped them during the nights to organize secret attacks that would be guided through messages delivered by the pigeons.

The setup part had started, Old Benjamin leadered the animals setting up for the revolution. He shared with the other animals the plans he had prepared with Snowball’s previous orientation. Every member of the alliance started preparing the front points, traps near the farmhouse and all the extra stuff that they needed. Then Benjamin instructed all the animals about their role during the war, it was told when and where each one of them should be, and what they should do. For most animals it was scary to face the pigs and their dogs, who for so long were the ones to lead them, but after months of preparation and countless hours dedicated to the revolution, the animals knew that they could pull it off. Old Benjamin instructed and prepared the animals as he was the one in charge since always, his great insight was admirable, and many animals respected him as much as they respected Snowball and Old Major, if not more. Every animal on the alliance knew how the plan would go, the difficulties that they could wind up facing, but they were a team, and were in on the revolution. Benjamin had organized everyone really well, and was just waiting on Squealer’s response to start the rebellion. 

After some more time with no response from Squealer, Benjamin was getting really worried that Squealer wouldn’t want to help them. After some more days Squealer’s decision was revealed. After some pigs realized he was into something shady, Napoleon offered Squealer a co-leading spot and a personal room for him in the farm house, which was enough to make him tell Napoleon about the rebellion. Old Benjamin quickly found out and started putting the plan into action, hoping everything would work as planned. After discovering Squealer’s betrayal, Benjamin called the alliance to one last meeting in the stall. There, they organized the rebellion that was about to start, being necessary a quick organization on the last details, because Napoleon already knew their intentions. They decided to position themselves in the previously organized groups.The first four groups went to their front points, but the last group hadn’t been able to fully organize their front point because it was the windmill, so they positioned themselves near it and waited for the sun to rise. Once it did, they would finally go into it, finish setting up and send a pigeon to each of the other four front points telling them that the revolution started. When the sun rose, the dogs started to make noise, waking Napoleon up, the fifth group took over the windmill, and the second battle of the windmill had officially begun.

Being caught unprepared and outnumbered, the pigs didn’t expect all the preparation and smartness on the part of the animals, mainly because they were leadered by Old Benjamin. Each territorial move by the alliance caught the pigs off guard, even though the dogs were physically stronger than the alliance, the surprise got a better effect than strength, and all the training paid off. They dominated the surroundings of the farmhouse and Benjamin's plan to cut the power in the house worked. With no way out of the farm, and no way to get help from the outside the pigs didn’t stand a chance. Some pigs came out of the house with guns and the dogs tried to advance towards the animals, Squealer and Napoleon both had shotguns in their hands and tried to shoot against the animals who took one step back and got a bit hurt, but while the pigs were recharging their weapons the animals would take three, and sometimes even five steps forward, and in one of the advances Squealer was hit, and stepped on by a cow that didn’t even notice him. After that, the pigs went back to the farm house and didn’t do anything until it was dark. 

Exactly when the animals would normally go to sleep, Napoleon himself went out of the farm house alone and left a handwritten letter on the ground. One of the pigeons got it and delivered it to Benjamin in the windmill, the letter read: “Enough is Enough. You animals killed the one that use to help you, Squealer is now dead because of your actions, us pigs don’t want to be seen as the same as you, filthy, dangerous, dumb animals. We decreat by this letter that Animal Farm is no longer the house of the pigs. We are leaving with all the economy that Jones left, and all the belongings from the farm house”. After reading the letter Benjamin crossed parts of the letter and completed: “Enough is Enough. You animals killed the one that use to help you, Squealer is now dead because of your actions, us you pigs are don’t want to be seen as the same as you, filthy, dangerous, dumb animals. We decreat by this letter that Animal Farm is no longer the house of the pigs. We are leaving with all the economy that Jones left, and all the belongings from the farmhouse. You are leaving with nothing but shame, you should have never turned Animalism into a tyranist government. And you will never touch the Animal Farm area ever again. You leave tomorrow morning, by the time that us animals would normally start working” and had a pigeon deliver it without being noticed at the dinner table in the farm house. The morning came, and at the time previously established all the pigs and dogs left the farm in a line. They were never seen or spoken of ever again.

After three days of celebrations the animals gathered around the stall to establish the new era of Animal Farm. All animals agreed that things should be as they were when the rebellion first started. The windmill turned into a museum of the second revolution, and soon they built another windmill, and increased their technologies and increased their productivity. The things in the farm house were mostly sold and the money Jones kept was used to buy food for the animals. All the animals that got injured were healed and many establishments were founded, such as a hospital directed by Clover, a church by Moses, a library full of books, because that was one of the only human items that the animals admired. They also re-established the 7 commandments and created a museum for Old Major. Animal farm was one of the most developed farms in England.

What if, just a week before Napoleon talks to the humans, due to unconventional circumstances, a new, more insane, and even more extreme figure meets Napoleon, Fuhrer? The deranged conversations between them are simply hilarious, however due to intellectual lack of tolerance to different opinions from both sides they jointly decided that they would fight until only one side was left standing.

Pigocaust

Some years after Napoleon met the farmers, in an afternoon, after he decided, despite all the other emergent needs of the farm, such as starvation, that the best course of action for the farm was expansion. To do so, he started sending his dogs to scout around the farm.

During one uneventful day, though, Napoleon started hearing some noises from the direction he had sent his dog, however in his strict nature, thought his dogs were simply fighting amongst themselves for no reasons, and started heading their way to give them a lesson.

Upon arriving Napoleon quickly pulled out his whip, and started to beat the dogs. Unexpectedly, in doing so one of the dogs started screaming: “Nein!,Nein!,Nein!...” , and he thought to him self: “how did these stupid dogs learn a word on their own! It must simply be some random noise”. However, Napoleon’s assumptions proved to be wrong, when he noticed that some of the dogs had a decently full, rectangular, although almost square, mustache, confirming that some of the dogs he had just beaten were not his.

Not long after he came to that conclusion, a new figure came from a direction, where there was previously thought to be nothing. It, similarly to the dogs, appeared to have an almost identical mustache, however its body shape seemed to be different. With it constantly getting closer, Napoleon quickly realized that it was a pig.

As the unknown animal got even closer, Napoleon noticed that he was no ordinary pig: he had clothes, including a very elaborate button overall jacket, and on it, there was an almost windmill shaped sign sewn:

-Hallo, my fellow pig, it seems like you have beaten up my dogs! - said the new figure.

 Napoleon, seeing that the other animal was a pig, and not an ordinary one, quickly lowered his immensely inflated ego, and tried to pay a little respect:

-No no no no, I apologize, it was a misunderstanding, I ended up mistaking your dogs for mine.

The animal, also noticing, through Napoleon's posture to face the situation, that he was probably a figure of great power, spoke showing his true emotions:

-It is fine my fellow pig, i don’t care at all about those useless dogs, but may I ask your identity?

-I am Napoleon, the leader of Manor Farm. How about you, where have you come from?

-I am Furer, the new leader of the Third Reich Farm, and the one that will restore its glory. I have recently taken control of it, after the people elected me, due to Mr Paul’s incompetence. He was the farmer who owned  the farm before me and simply destroyed the economy’s condition, which caused the animals to live in precary conditions.

Napoleon, now seeing the similarities between them, said:

-My friend, it seems like we are in very similar situations. But may I ask, how do you wish to regain your nation's glory, as you said?

Fuhrer, due to Napoleon's new found sympathy for him, and his seemingly competent nature, now uses a more friendly tone:

-Napoleon, I wish to do so by the most obvious method.

-And what is it, Fuhrer? If I may ask?

Fuhrer, only gaining trust for Napoleon as their conversation developed, decided to tell him:

-well, eliminating the non-aryan population, off-course, they pollute our society through their disgusting genetic anomalies.

-Fuhrer, but what are the aryans?

In a laughing manner, Fuhrer responded? 

- You tell such good jokes Napoleon! Even if I did not see that you are a non-jewish mammal, just by your wittiness alone, I could tell that you were an aryan!

With Napoleon not quite knowing what a mammal was, but sort of understanding that a jew, was probably a religious person, appointed to his new found friend that he had a religious leader in his farm, whom he really disliked, proposing to Fuhrer that as their first activity together they should go and kill Moses, to which Fuhrer responded:

Just to be sure you do not have any birds in your farm as well, right?

Napoleon not really understanding what Fuhrer was insinuating simply responded with honesty,

No, I sent them away some time ago.

Fuhrer thinking that Napoleon was insinuating to have killed them, then answered:

Brilliant, I see your farm is way more clean then mine, but let's go kill that scum.

As both entered the farm, after their conversation, it was already night, and so most of the animal were sleeping, which conveniently made it way easier for Squealer to make a story up and clean the mess, so as they got closer and closer to Moses’s place, excitement was building in both sides, and when they finally arrived they first sneakily blindfolded and filled moses mouth with a small bunch of hay, so he could not see, and started what they wanted.

Wow Napoleon! It has been a long time since I last killed a scum personally! These days i normally just send my Dogs to do the work for me

Yes it sort of is too much work, but this creature is already very close to dying of old age, and most people will believe me if I tell them that's what happened.

It is so great how easily we can manipulate people into doing our bidding these days, such a good time to be alive!

Sure is Fuhrer.

With the job being done, and Squealer having cleaned up everything, Napoleon started to show the farm around for Fuhrer, and engage in more personal conversations. He showed to him the brewery that had been significantly expanded in the last few years, which Fuhrer appreciated, the new military part, but only more superficially, since that was confidential even to the animals in the farm, and while doing all of that they talked:

- Recently I have been thinking of expanding towards that big lagoon besides your farm - said Fuhrer - It would give my farm such an important water supply to ease the population and to water my farms.

- Oh, fuhrer, I am afraid that it won’t be possible, since I recently have dominated this region.

-Nein, my fellow pig, I think you don’t quite understand what I am saying - said Fuhrer, raising his voice - I WILL expand my reach to have access to the lagoon, otherwise my people will get even more mad,and most importantly i won’t be able to rid europe of the jews!

- I’m sorry, but it is not happening my friend, having access to what seems to be an infinite water source is extremely important for my expansion! With that much water, I could water my farms for years! My people would never complain about the lack of supplements and they would work harder than ever!

-Napoleon! If you're not willing to concede to my holy plan, I guess the only way out is war! No animal shall ever disobey me again, and by all I shallI be feared!

As they concluded their heated discussion both stormed to their respective farm’s direction and started culminating a plan to destroy each other.

Napoleon with the development of the more industrial side of the farm, alongside the creation of the military division, after the battle of the windmill, was able to create some of the most revolutionary firearms of the century, the portable, automatic, and generally beautiful AK-porkyseven. Fuhrer, also was not unprepared, since his nation, due to earlier industrialization, also had some revolutionary guns, such as the mighty STGEWS.

Synopsis: What if something happened to each one of the pigs, before they got to the manor farm, and that is why they had different personalities and motivations throughout the book? What if they develop different mental disorders because of their childhood and past?

The story occurs before the book. It tells the story of how the three pigs: Napoleon, Snowball, and Squealer, grew up, and got to the manor farm. Also, it talks about their personality and mental disorders, which are manifested not only in the fanfiction, but also in the book.

Part 1: Squealer 

“I didn’t do this! I promise!” was the most common quote said by Squealer. 

Squealer was born and raised in Manor Farm, he was apart from his parents at a young age because they were older, and worked at another part of the farm. Squealer was a smart and polite pig, he used to do everything that he was asked for and had some friends at the farm, but no one was really close to him. 

One day, while he was lying in the barn with some other pigs, Mr. Williams, the owner of the farm, began yelling at one of the pigs, Ripley, complaining that he did not do his work. Ripley, on the other hand, wasn’t worried, he just replied calmly: 

"I did everything! And I can prove it to you. This morning I woke up early, and did all my services before noon."

Mr. Williams was confused, at first he thought Ripley was lying, but his expression was so sure that he believed him.

"Oh, Okay. I'm going to believe in you this time, but if I find out that you didn't do anything, you will be punished!" 

 "All right Sir! - Ripley replied peacefully."

Innocent Squealer could not understand why Ripley would not tell the truth to Mr. Williams, so he decided to talk to him about it. Ripley had spent the entire day at the barn doing nothing, sleeping and gossiping with other animals.  

"Ripley, are you not scared that Mr.Williams is going to find out that you didn't do your work? - Squealer asked innocently."

"My dear friend, this is the magic of lying, I can do whatever I want without accomplishing it."

This was something Squealer had never considered before. It was a simple way to get away with anything. So, he realized he could do it anytime.

So then on he started to lie regarding small things, like doing his service, Squealer realized his life was getting better by lying, then he began to perfect his lies, and it became more and more true, every time he said something and it wasn't true, everybody believed in him, because it was compelling, even Mr.Williams thought that he was telling the truth when he lied about doing his tasks. 

Eventually, Squealer became addicted to lying, not only about things that were important, but also about things that weren't. The fact that he used to do that so often led him to not even realize what was going on, sometimes he even believed his own lies. Every animal at the farm thought he was an excellent pig, who did great speeches and cared about everyone, but actually, he was just fooling the other animals. And that’s how Squealer got known at Manor Farm, for giving stunning speeches and convincing everyone.

Part 2: Snowball

Snowball opens his eyes, and in a second, remembers where he was, his loud cries were being heard by the truck driver, he missed his mom so much. The doors on the back of the truck were closed, and Snowball couldn't see that much, but he knew that the sun was rising. He was still tired and decided to close his eyes, and just remember about everything that happened. 

Snowball was born on a farm far away, in one of the poorest regions of England. Still, he had a caring mom, called Snowflake, who could do anything to guarantee that her son was going to be well, and who mysteriously, could always bring food for him. He also had a best friend, Brutus, who was born around the same time as him. 

Snowball was the healthiest and one of the smartest pigs on the farm, and could live a calm life despite the difficulties of being poor. One day, when he got a little older, his mom decided to tell him the truth. She sat him down and said:

"Snowball, my dear, I need to tell you something, because I think you are old enough to know it. Since you were born, I have been stealing from the farm owner's pantry, that is the reason you have always had more food than the other pigs. I know this isn't a nice thing to do, and I hope you don't repeat my manners. The only reason I did this was to assure that you were going to grow up a healthy pig."

Snowball was shocked by what he had just heard, and without thinking, went to tell Brutus. 

"Since you are my best friend, I need to tell you something…" 

In the following minutes, Snowball explained to his friend what happened. Brutus was dismayed, and he swore that he wouldn't tell anyone about the secret, but Snowball could sense a little bit of anger in his tone, as if he was jealous about the fact he had more food.

During the week, Snowball started to get a little worried. He felt as if every animal on the farm knew about the secret, he noticed strange looks, and with time, he started to get paranoid. He would continuously ask Brutus if he told anything to anyone, and that was the only thing he could think about. 

One month later, Snowball's mom came to talk to him, and said that she felt that something bad would happen, she asked him if he had told what she did to anyone, and Snowball couldn't bring himself to confess. He went to sleep and cried the whole night out of fear. In the morning, Snowball couldn't find his mom. When he came out of the barn, he saw his mother hanged in front of the farmer's house. On the side was the owner of the farm pointing at his dead mom and yelling at all the animals. 

"That pig has been stealing food from our pantry to satisfy her own needs! She's been hanged - he turns to Snowball - and her son will be kicked out! This will happen to you! If any of you do something like that."

In a second, Snowball was thrown into a truck and tied with ropes, as the doors were closing, he looked at Brutus, who seemed pleased.

"I trusted you, Brutus! - said snowball."

"I'm not proud of what I did, but things couldn't go on like this! You and your mother are thieves, I hope you rot away on a farm far from here!" - Brutus responded.

Snowball just couldn't believe what was happening to him, all of his suspicions became true, and he just couldn't stop crying. 

Night has come and he has decided to go to sleep and prepare for his new future, on a new farm. He was thrown out of the truck, into the Manor farm. He thinks the animals who were already there are still a little suspicious about him, because he had just arrived. His new life begins at that moment.

Part 3: Napoleon 

When Napoleon was born he didn't get a chance to meet his parents, right after he finished breastfeeding he and the other piglets were sold to another farm. He grew up alone, being forced to work, and with no time to rest, he didn't have any friends, but that did not bother him much, because he wasn't really sympathetic towards anyone.

While he was working one day, an older pig approached him. He thought it was weird because no one really talked to him. The pig was really nice to Napoleon, he asked about his day,  and his life, he introduced himself and said that his name was Cicero. That was the first time Napoleon felt welcomed, he started to develop a friendship with Cicero, they became good friends, and he helped him with the service. Napoleon, who had never felt any kind of platonic affection towards anyone, was starting to actually care for Cicero, considering him a friend, tutor, or parental figure he had never had.

One night, they were alone in the barn, and Cicero turned to Napoleon and got closer to him. He said that he felt attracted to Napoleon and that he hoped that they could have a romantic relationship.  Napoleon was shocked, he told Cicero that he only viewed him as a parent figure, and could never be attracted to him, Cicero got really mad, and couldn't understand how Napoleon would say no to him, then he tried to kiss Napoleon. Napoleon tried to run away, so Cicero locked the doors of the barn and abused him, totally against his will. 

Napoleon he never felt as bad as he did that day. He thought he had finally found a friend, but he was mistaken, and felt completely used. 

Napoleon was so mad that he started to run. He just ran away with no direction, he left the borders of the farm, he ran until he got to a different farm called "The Manor Farm", he started to cry, at that moment he was so sad that he promised himself that he would never be friends with someone again. The unsympathetic behavior he had before meeting Cicero came back again, and it just got worse. The only reason he wanted to have any relationship with other animals was for his personal interest, he decided that then he would just get close to someone if he could benefit from it. 

He was praised for being intelligent, but the other animals could see he had a little bit of controlling behavior. He always wanted to be a leader, in every situation, and could never seen to make any actual friends.

For quite a while, the animals learned to live with the inequality that reigned over the newly renamed Manor Farm. The pigs were now just like humans and life only got worse for the animals. The animals feared to admit it, but it was all just like in Jones' time – or maybe even worse. Now, they were abused and threatened everyday by their own 'old friends'.

Animalism, which had spread to other farms, was now taking over the British countryside. The Empire, as Napoleon liked to call it, had truly become a way of life.

However, it wasn't all good, as the empire had its problems. Indeed, the farms were extremely productive and profitable, but only a few could enjoy the pleasures and luxury that Animalism offered. Life was unfair at the Empire, as the other animals lived in situations of poverty, while only the pigs, led by selfish and tyrannical Napoleon, lived the best of life.  

One day, the animals woke up and felt something different. They sensed a weird and familiar presence. They couldn't hide the shock when Snowball called from outside the barn, gathering a meeting with some of the animals. Snowball was back? Snowball was back! They felt uneasy and scared. Because of the stories Napoleon had told them about that disgraceful traitor that was Snowball, they didn't know if they could trust him. Snowball looked different, almost unrecognizable, but the animals sure could distinguish the Snowball's unmistakable features behind all the dirt and bruises that covered him. The pig's body was entirely hurt and scratched, and his appearance showed that it had been long since he had taken a shower – which was now a daily habit among the pigs of Manor Farm.

"That’s Snowball!", screamed one of the sheep, "Run, and don’t listen to this traitor!". Some of the animals supported the idea and swore at Snowball for all the evil he had done. However, most of the animals were mind-blown by the old leader's return, and wished to hear what he had to say.

"Friend, you cannot trust everything you hear", said Snowball, in an older, tired voice. "I was never the traitor. It was evil Napoleon who betrayed Animal Farm and tried to destroy everything we had created. Now,", he continued, "you can see what he really sought. Power and wealth was all he ever wished for, and for that, he banished me from my beloved home, Animal Farm."

"No! Why should we trust you? Our beloved leader Napoleon told us all about you. Now, don’t even try to lie to us.", yelled one of the other sheep, terribly mad at Snowball.

"Sure, then I will tell you the truth about this farm, which you pretend you love! This whole system of Animalism was all just a lie, in order for us, pigs, to be in charge. I didn’t agree with this, as I thought it wasn’t fair to the other animals, and for that reason Napoleon chased me out of the Empire I created. Now, I will tell you guys all about my adventures during all this time I was gone, and help you understand why I didn’t come back before.."

"It all started when Napoleon made all the dogs chase me out of the farm. For a couple of days, I stayed outside, ruminating over that betrayal and planning my revenge. I couldn't believe I was getting kicked out of my own farm. I was angry, so angry, and I never, for even one day, forgot about how evil Napoleon had betrayed me. I tried to come back that same night, but I couldn't get in, not even if I tried, as there were dogs guarding every entrance.

"I, then, fled to Mr. Pilkington 's farm. There, I found an abandoned barn, went inside and crashed for the night. I was exhausted, but I couldn’t sleep. My mind was racing, and I couldn’t understand. I only wanted the best for the animals, and now I was being punished for it? This didn’t make sense, it just didn’t! Don't you think it was easy for me to see Napoleon abuse his power and explore your ingenuity. It hurt me more than it did to you! And with that thought in mind, eventually I fell asleep."

“I woke up the next morning, and I was angrier, as my back hurt from sleeping on the hard floor like an uncivilized fool. I wanted to take back what was mine, so I started planning. Everyday from then on, I worked on my plan, and scouted possible entries of the farm. I couldn't find many breaches, as from the moment I was banished from the farm, the security system became a lot stricter.”

“As of now, after many months of planning, I am here! But I won't be for long, because any minute now your terrible leader Napoleon and his dogs will come after me. Don´t worry though, I´ll be back really soon! Meet me after the sunset near the barn if you wish to know the truth about this corrupt… Oh, ****, they´re coming!!”, Snowball exclaimed as the dogs came rushing after him."

Snowball was able to fled the farm, and went back to the abandoned barn at Mr. Pilkington's farm. Snowball was thinking a lot, about everything that had happened to him, which lit a fire of rage inside his heart. He wanted, more than anything, to take down Napoleon. Snowball´s plan was simple, yet effective: he would go back into the farm, dodging the dogs and would tell the animals the whole truth about the corrupt system of Animal Farm, and about the selfish and unfair Napoleon. And, if the animals didn't believe him, Snowball had a card under his sleeve, to really convince the animals. Snowball had kept some bills and checks from his time at Animal Farm, which proved that Napoleon was stealing from his own animals. “Certainly, they will believe me now,” Snowball thought. “This proves everything I've told them.

Napoleon, who was everything but a fool, noticed something was going on in his farm. He was shocked when he saw the dogs chasing the one and only Snowball.

Some time passed after that, and Snowball sneakily came back into the farm. He met some of the animals behind the barn, just like he planned. Snowball then showed them the bills that showed Napoleon and the other animals were buying things for themselves, instead of helping the other animals. He told them all the lies they had been told and the truth behind them. He explained how Napoleon stole his ideas and plotted to expel him from the farm. They were in disbelief as they found out that the leader they had learned to love was robbing them the whole time. They were angry, and this anger spread as more animals came to see what was going on. Meanwhile, Napoleon and the other pigs had no idea that a new revolution was about to start.

After more animals gathered and found out the truth, hell struck as animals started screaming, breaking stuff, and chanting insults against the pigs. "Traitors!", the animals yelled. The dogs came to the barn after they heard the chaos that was going on, and the other animals attacked them. Many died and got injured while fighting the dogs off, but eventually they killed them all. This battle was a bloodbath and the sight was horrible, but now the pigs were vulnerable, and after seeing what was going on from the big windows of the farm house, scared.

The animals marched to the farmhouse chanting “Four legs good, pigs bad.” The pigs were scared and were now gathering weapons to defend themselves, including Mr. Jones’s gun, which Napoleon had grabbed and was now loading bullets into. The animals weren’t scared though, they were determined to end this corrupt system and kill the pigs who lied to them for years. 

The farmhouse doors could only hold the animals for so long, and after they were broken down, chaos struck, as Napoleon shot any animal in front of him, the sheep jumped some of the pigs, the horses were kicking the pigs, and etc. The other animals were fighting any pig they saw, and the cows were lighting the farmhouse on fire.

Snowball sat calmly outside the house, watching as the society he and the other pigs had built come to an end. Just like that, all the time and effort put into the revolution of Animal Farm would crumble. The fire spread and started burning everyone inside, as the battle of the pigs came to an end. All pigs except for Napoleon were already dead, and burning inside the house, as Napoleon ran around the house escaping kicks and punches. Then, as he tried to run away through the back door of the house, Snowball, with Mr. Jones' rifle pointed to the door, was just waiting for him to come out. 

Napoleon begged for his life to his “old friend”, who came even closer and put the gun on Napoleon’s head. The BANG was heard across the entire farm, and as Napoleon fell on the floor, dead, Snowball sighed in relief.

There was not much to celebrate, though, as all the animals were dying inside the burning house. There were dead bodies spread throughout the fields and blood was in the air. Snowball finally had the whole farm for himself, but why did it matter?

Snowball broke down crying as he saw all the animals die. He felt like he had just finished his mission and it was all for nothing. He couldn’t take this pain and, after choosing “Long Live Animal Farm” as his last words, he took his own life – leaving the farm dead and abandoned.

A few days later, Mr. Jones heard of the news and came back to the farm. "I knew they couldn't survive without me!", he told everyone. He took back over and, for a couple of weeks, all he ate was bacon and ham.

Synopsis: 

Through the first chapters of Animal Farm, the figure of Mollie was used by Orwell to represent the Russian bourgeoisie, who we know lacked revolutionary appetite and therefore, did not care for the morals that were being preached. What if after running away Mollie were to create her own ribbon company, maintaining her luxurious and capitalist lifestyle? And as she did not apply to the cause of the revolution and its principles, would she operate her industry with animal farm’s slave labor force? 

In the very beginning of the revolution, Mollie already starts having some negative thoughts about it. Her firsts inquiries to Snowball were “Will there still be sugar after the Rebellion?” and “shall I still be allowed to wear ribbons in my mane?” The answers made her uncomfortable, she knew she couldn't lose those things. After she realized she would have to give up her ribbons and sugar for the cause, Mollie doesn't see any reason to gather within animalism or continue working hard towards someone else’s interests. The doubt arises as to whether this so-called animalism should concern her.

As Mollie strolled back to her stall, she couldn’t help but to think: “I wasn’t born to stay here. Applying to Animalism is not going to get me anywhere”. She felt in her deep inside a desire to do something bigger with her life. To create something, make change, change the world.

The visionary ideal had been running through her mind ceaselessly, and she thought about it during several sleepless nights. Midst one of these episodes, Mollie found herself in a very agitated mood. One moment, she decided to get up and light a candle, hoping that it could quiet her mind. As she got up, Mollie glanced at her ribbons which she kept hidden from Snowball under her straw. And that was it. 

Something was telling her to follow her heart and do what she most loved in the entire world. And that was to make herself feel and look beautiful, and her instincts told her that her vocation was to share that feeling with others, so that the world could also be prettier and happier. She would make ribbons, to every living creature, human or animal, around the globe. Every product would be made by animals, hoofmade, with love. 

A million things started to come up on her mind, business plans, ribbon designs, potencial projects and many more ideas. She decided to head outside, to her usual hangout spot, and by hanging out, she meant heading to the drinking pool, where she would stand foolishly gazing at her own reflection in the water. There she would have the peace to process everything that she had just experienced. 

Thinking whilst looking into her reflection, Mollie heard a strange noise. The noise came from the bushes located on the other side of the hedge, inside Foxwood’s territory.

Mollie approached the bushes next to the hedge, and she saw a man, one of Mr. Pilkington’s helpers. He was really tall, bulky and watched her piercingly. Mollie felt a mix of embarrassment and puzzlement. 

“What are you doing here?” she unintentionally, almost automatically asked. The young man responded “I was working late on the maize and decided to come and rest before the sun rises, then I saw you. Shall I ask you the same question, miss?” “Mollie, not miss” added Mollie with a condescending tone, and the man replied “Alright Mollie, I’m Joseph Smith, nice meeting you.” “It is nice meeting me right? Wish I could say the same about you.” She replied. “So, what are you doing down here this late, planning to run away? Sneak out?” Asked Joseph, “Something like that Joseph, something like that…” “You can call me Joe, you know…” 

The conversation went on until the Sun started to rise and each of them returned to their normal daily activities. Mollie and Joe decided to meet again the next night to talk, and soon they hung out together every night and became such good friends that Mollie even told him about her hopes and dreams for the future, and about how she couldn’t endure animalism and the revolution anymore. One of those nights, the two of them decided that they were going to start seeing each other also during the day. 

When the next day came, Mollie left work to hangout with Joe and when she got there, he had this amazing plan for her business. He would help her with the cotton production for the textile department of her business, and his family, that was interested in industrializing their business, would help with the manual work, producing the ribbons. Joe had already talked to his family about their potential partnership with Mollie and they were totally on board with the association. To seal the deal, Joe reached his hand out for a hand-shake, but then they laughed due to Mollie’s inability to perform it. Instead, the young man stroked her nose.

Little did she know that, a few hours later, this joyful moment would cause her such stress. As Mollie strolled blithely into the yard, flirting her long tail and chewing at a stalk of hay, Clover took her aside. “Mollie,” she started, “I have to talk to you about a severe matter. This morning I saw next to the hedge that divides Animal Farm from Foxwood. One of Mr. Pilkington’s men was standing on the other side of it. I’m pretty sure I saw you two talking, and you allowed him to stroke your nose. What does that mean, Mollie?”

She opened her mouth to start explaining, but managed to control herself. As much as she trusted Clover, she couldn't risk all her plans going down the drain, and decided that it was better to keep it a secret. All she could do was keep denying the insistence. But it started to get so difficult that she could not look Clover in the face anymore, and the next moment she took to her heels and galloped away into the field.

A thought struck Clover. Without saying anything to the others, she went to Mollie’s stall and turned over the straw with her hoof. Hidden under the straw was a little pile of lump sugar and several bunches of ribbons of different colors. That moment, Clover realized that Mollie didn’t give a shit about the rebellion.

A couple of days later, Mollie woke up determined to get out of there, she couldn’t stand anymore her meaningless and vapid routine. Mollie waited until dawn, so that the pigs and the other animals would be asleep, including the dogs. She had chosen the right moment to run away, her plan was foolproof and she felt really confident about it.

While she gathered her things, she couldn’t help but feel a twinge of fear and apprehension, after all she was leaving the only home that she had ever known. However, Mollie was serious when things were about achieving success and would do whatever it took to get where she wanted.

She rapidly made her way to the gate, and when she finally reached it, Mollie saw a horizon of possibilities for her new life, she felt free, as if nothing could stop her. And then left without looking back for a second. 

Mollie followed Joe’s instructions and made her way to the Elm Tree Farm, the family’s nearby farm, where he and his parents were waiting for her. A few weeks went by and Mollie had already settled into the farm and was almost considered part of the family; Mrs. Smith had even clipped her coat. Now was the time to put the plan to action and start building the factory. In order to do that, Mr. Smith acquainted her to meet with a fat red-faced man that was in charge of the factory’s construction. He gifted her sugar and sealed the deal with a stroke on the nose. When Mollie tilted her head downwards, she saw the pigeons observing her. Right after, she went to meet them straight away, asking for an exchange of favors. For a handful of sugar, they would spread a message to animals all over Willingdon saying that she was offering jobs, and by spring the ones who took it would start working.

A few months later the factory was ready to be ran at full steam, and dozens of animals that came from every corner of Willingdom arrived to commence the production. The animals were divided according to their skills: the ones familiar with the more advanced technologies took care of the industrial part, whereas the conservative ones stayed on the cotton fields that would be necessary for textile production.

Synopsis: If the pigs had a way to travel back in time, they would for sure try to change the course of history in their favor. Well… but what if they actually could do that? After being mysteriously teleported to Ancient Egypt (a civilization they had never seen before), Napoleon and Squealer realize this could be the perfect chance for them to implement animalism in another civilization, so they start to act!

Fan Fiction text:

The animals, as always, were working like slaves to rebuild the windmill as fast as possible. The first step they had to work on was to dig a hole in the ground, but this time something unusual happened. While one of the sheep was doing the work, she ended up finding a mysterious object that was buried. She dug more and more, but when all of the object was above the surface, the sheep still had no idea what it was. Because of that, she notified the other animals, but none of them knew about it besides the pigs (at least that was what they said). Napoleon and Squealer took the object inside the farmhouse to analyze it, and the first thing they noticed was that there was something written, however not in English. The pigs realized they would not be able to understand it alone, so they agreed to call Benjamin, the oldest animal on the farm. Even though he had lived the longest, and experienced various different things, he knew only a little bit about the object. “It does not seem that someone made this in the past few days” said Benjamin in a suspicious tone. “This appears to be an object from another civilization, maybe from ancient Egypt”. Squealer, who was lost in his own thoughts said: “Yes! Of course it’s from Egypt. We knew this since the beginning and just wanted to see if you were as smart as they say. You can leave now”. Benjamin did not look convinced, but he left anyway.

Three days passed, and Napoleon was still obsessed with the mysterious object. He was angry and had no idea what to do with it, so he threw it at the wall! The unexpected happened. A golden light emerged from the object, which was slightly opening. Suddenly, he and Squealer (who had just entered the room because of the bright light) got sucked into the object, which, with some kind of “power”, teleported them to a whole different place.There was sand, different animals, huge statues (that were similar to the body of a human and the face of a lion) and much more. They were in Ancient Egypt! A totally different civilization, that in Napoleon’s eyes, was the perfect opportunity to implement animalism. This way, they could change the way pigs are seen, and create a whole new world!

They first realized that, differently than in Animal Farm, they were despised and regarded as unclean animals. While they were exploring the “village”, a group of humans started following them, however, neither Napoleon nor Squealer noticed. Shortly after, they were attacked and quickly immobilized with ropes! The unknown humans took them to a smelly, ugly and crowded pigsty. Even though they were captured, Napoleon had everything planned in his mind. The first thing he did was to count how many pigs there were. “1, 2, 3, 4… 63!” he yelled. The noise caught the pig’s attention, and it was time for Squealer to act! "Dear pigs, since you all are paying attention, it is the right time to say it. Aren’t you tired of living in this terrible place? Where I come from is not like this. We pigs have a lot of potential, and we should not be wasting it here! Yesterday, my friend here, Napoleon, had a dream where all of us (pigs) had a perfect life, with all we wanted and living in a good place. However, for that to be done, we had to do a revolution! Who's with me?!”. The pigs whispered to each other and started thinking about what had just been said. As it always happened, Squealer had convinced all the pigs, and a new revolution was beginning!

The first thing they had to do was to spread the word, which was successful even though the cats didn’t agree with the revolution. It was decided, the rebellion would happen at the next full moon. Three days went by, a lot of planning had been done, “we will invade the palace and kill the pharaoh, after that, the only thing that will still need to be done will be to prove to the others that we, pigs,are superiors!” said Squealer. That night, the animals got together and raided the palace. The guards were quickly taken care of, and after searching all the rooms in the place, there was only one left. They knew their target was right in front of them, but when Napoleon opened the door ,he was shocked. Besides the pharaoh that was sleeping for the last time, a cat was there, however it was not just a simple cat, it was the same from Animal Farm! With surprise in their eyes, both Squealer and Napoleon could not believe what they had just seen. The animals that were from that timeline kept attacking, and in a matter of seconds the pharaoh was dead. They were celebrating the victory, but one thing was not clear. The cat had disappeared like he usually did in Animal Farm. He was never seen again. “Well done, comrades!” said Squealer. “Now you can go back to your places while me and my friend Napoleon stay here to work a little bit more. We will make sure everything is under control while you rest”. 

The next day would be remembered as an important one. When the sun rose, Squealer was once again ready, however this would be the most important speech he would do. “For everyone who is asking, the pharaoh is dead! He was an impostor, and was lying to all of you, both humans and animals. Besides that, cats are not the right animals to idolatrize. We pigs are gods! For all those years, we have been treated like trash, but now it is time for you to know the truth. We saved you from the greater evil”. The humans were shocked, but after some minutes they started to applaud and admire the pigs, mainly Napoleon and Squealer, who were on top of the sphinx at the time of the speech. A palace was quickly provided to the pigs, which made the other animals thoughtful. This time, it was Napoleon's time to say some words. “Cows, camels, chickens and other animals of Egypt. We, pigs, need this space for us to think about what to do next. We are the brain of the revolution, so this palace will be used for work”. All animals were ok with that, besides the cats, who were very angry but couldn’t do anything about it. From there on, everything was in favor of the pigs. They received gold necklaces and other luxurious items. The sphinx lion style face was changed to a pig face, more specifically Napoleon’s face. Because they were now considered gods, Egyptian culture turned monotheist, and all hieroglyphics with other gods were erased or modified to pig characteristics.  Finally, the pigs that eventually died were mummified. The course of history had been changed!

RATING: T

FANFICTION TEXT:

Maverick couldn't believe he was in that situation. All his life he had known his chances of achieving his dream of becoming a military general were basically none, but now it was actually happening. Everything started two years ago when he was walking home from the Big Barn Dining Hall, where he worked as a waiter, and an old lady sheep was being robbed by a filthy cat, which Mave considered the worst kind of animal. He was really tired, but couldn't let that robber walk away with that poor lady's purse. He immediately ran to help her, knocking down that bastard with a trick he learned from his father, while the woman was in panic. After he collected the bag and the cat ran, he restored the belongings to the inside and gave it back to the sheep, who thanked him a lot and told him he would be rewarded for the kindness. Some days later he received a call from the director of an important military school and he was thrilled with the recent news. 

Since that moment his life had improved a lot and his dream was almost fulfilled, he was going to be the first dog to become a general, everything due to his boss, Napoleon Montague. General Montague was the best military in the whole Manor district and like a father to him. His father had been killed when he was little and his mother died last year, so he was totally alone in this world, apart from a distant brother that lived in the neighboring district. Napoleon had been there to help him since the beginning of his career, bringing him into his house like a son and he was really grateful for that. In the middle of his reflexion he heard a knock on his door:

"Officer Williams we need you in the headquarters now! Napoleon wants to talk to you", that was Mercutio, his best friend, calling him.

When he got there Napoleon presented to him a simple mission.

" Maverick," he was so thrilled they were on a first name basis, " recently there have been a lot of manifestations against our military institution, so I'm assigning simple tasks to all officers. Your job is to guard the Bank Farmhouse annual reception."

Maverick didn't want to guard a stupid reception, but every job was important to his relationship with Napoleon, so he went. 

Bank Farmhouse was the biggest bank of the nation, so the party was full of aristocratic figures from all over England. His only duty was to guard the room and be sure no one was robbed or attacked. Everything was very calm in the beginning, a bunch of old rich animals talking about how much money they make and the percentage of it that they spend in cars, jewelry and clothes. He was stunned to see two beautiful ladies, a breathtaking pig and a dove, entering the room. He immediately looked away, after all he was still working, but he stood there thinking about that gorgeous young pig and how she was the most lovely lady he had ever seen. After some time the shock had passed, however he couldn't stop thinking about her. 

When Mave saw her leaving alone he instantly thought about following. Even though he gave up, when he caught the glance of two suspicious ravens following her, he ran outside. He saw that the two burglars were actually trying to take her beautiful pearl necklace. Even before he came to action she noticed the ravens and attacked them, leaving both on the ground. Maverick couldn't be more stunned. He knew she was the perfect girl. He got closer while the burglars ran away. 

"I would never have guessed you were that type of girl" 

"What "type of girl" you thought I was?" she said and Maverick's heart melted "Look, don't even answer that. It probably won't be worth hearing. "

"Sorry, I started the wrong way. I'm Maverick, Maverick Williams. I saw you and your friend coming in and thought you were very different from the rest. When those two followed you I decided to come here and help. It was the first time I saw the victim defend itself without a single drop of fear, I was really impressed."

"No no, I should say sorry. You were only trying to be nice and I ruined it. I had a really bad day and the ball isn't helping. I'm Ophelia. I'm not really in the mood of going back in. Do you want to keep me company?"

That's when everything started. After hours and hours talking and laughing, they discovered they had a lot in common. Both of them had lost their mothers, they were both the youngest sibling and both loved reading books, even though he was more of a terror fan and she liked romance. They were connecting as if they had known each other for years. They could notice they were already falling for each other. The dove, which Maverick learned was Ophelia's nurse, Charlotte, came into the room and said that Ophelia had to go home because she was grounded after running away to a party. They said their goodbyes and exchanged addresses so they would keep in touch by letters. Maverick had never been happier. He had everything except the perfect love interest. On the inside he was always a firm believer in strangers becoming lovers, even though he had never really learned about the word “love”.

That's exactly what happened. They exchanged letters every day and that kept going for weeks. On his day off he used to meet her in the park and do picnics or long walks though the city's sidewalks. They were both happier than ever. Ophelia wasn't running away from home at night anymore and Maverick told the whole military base about them, including Napoleon who loved making fun of how slow their relationship was going and how he should arrange a date so they could meet each other.

On one of their long night walks, Mave decided he would walk her home and ask to enter her house. She blushed and said her father was visiting some cousins so they could go in together. 

The walk home was perfect. Ophelia couldn't believe she had met such a cool and sensitive dog in a party that her dad had ordered her to go to and how her life was better since they've been together. She was floating in happiness. They arrived and Maverick felt something weird as if he had already seen that house. He let it go and while she gave him a kiss on the cheek they entered. They were walking in the living room together and looking at some pictures, but as soon as Maverick saw Ophelia's father he was shocked. Now everything made more sense. He discovered how she was so rich but he never had heard about her family or why he had remembered that place.

"Is something wrong, Mave?"

Maverick had already come to a conclusion, but was afraid of the answer. He just realized something really bad.

"Ophelia, please tell me your last name." he looked really cold and different from before, so she got scared.

"I'm Ophelia Capulet, why?"

"As in Snowball Capulet?"

"Yes! That 's my father. What is happening?"

He couldn't believe where he had got himself into. Snowball Capulet wasn't just Ophelia's father, he was Duke Snowball Capulet of Windmill, General Montague's worst enemy. Napoleon would be furious if he discovered that the girl he was always talking about was the daughter of his nemesis. He quickly thought about responding to her that he had a work emergency and had to go home, but he thought lying would be worse.

"Ophelia, do you know who my boss is?"

"Not exactly, I just remember you mentioning that he’s like a father to you" she was really confused, but somehow, she trusted him.

"My boss is my superior officer. I'm a military officer and my chief is General Napoleon Montague."

Ophelia's jaw dropped. How could he never have mentioned he was a soldier! Her relationship with her father was great recently, but if he knew she was dating Napoleon's little protegee he would never forgive her. She immediately said she had to think and sent him home.

Ophelia didn't know what to do. Maverick was the first guy she had liked in ages and she didn't want her father's judgment getting in the way of her relationship. But her dad's approval was really important. As the only girl in five siblings things had been tough for her, especially because she was the youngest. She had always been very connected to her mom and since she died things got tougher. She was always sad and tried to forget about it by partying and drinking. Her father tried to understand her but he was really distant and her brothers weren't very supportive. Maverick was the first thing that made her happy as she used to be with her mother. She decided that giving up wasn't the solution. She decided to send Mave a letter explaining her plans and asking to meet up and talk. 

Maverick was also really sad. Napoleon had saved his life, but his life wasn't complete without Ophelia. He didn't even comment how happy he felt when she called him "Mave". Nobody ever called him by a nickname. Receiving her letter was a relief. He didn't want to give up on their love, but he also didn't want to make her life more complicated. The letter said how she loved him and couldn't stop thinking about them and asking him to give it a second chance. He had never been happier. That was a sign to follow his love. He wrote her back telling how he would attend the date.

The worst came to happen. The letter arrived one day when Ophelia wasn't home and the mailman delivered it to her father, who thought the address from out of the city was strange and opened it. Snowball was furious. He couldn't believe her daughter was so happy because of someone like Napoleon's protegee. He knew Napoleon couldn't raise a good guy and that all dogs were dirty and selfish. When Ophelia got home he screamed with her until her ears bled.

"Ophelia, are you insane? Why did you even think this would be acceptable? He is a filthy dog!"

"Dad, but I love him! He is certainly not a filthy dog, he is the man of my dreams and I would do anything to be with him." said Ophelia while she cried like crazy.

"I’ve already decided. Next week you are marrying Prince Jonathan of Foxwood and nothing will change my mind. He is a good pig, rich and will be a wonderful husband!"

"You can not decide who I love, father!"

The arguing continued for hours, but Ophelia decided she would go to sleep and continue the next day. She wouldn't give up. Maverick was the perfect guy for her and she didn't mind if she was a noble pig and him a simple dog. Love was more important than that. She arranged the date they'd planned in the previous letters for next week so it wouldn't get so suspicious. 

That was the worst week of her life. Her father had notified Napoleon about their relationship and she was afraid Maverick would be punished. He also talked to the king of Foxwood and the marriage was arranged for next month. The last thing she wanted was to be away from Mave, she couldn't even imagine being married to another random pig she had never talked to just because he’s rich. The worst part was that they couldn't even talk to each other because her father was checking all her letters.

One day she was watching the stars from the windmill balcony, one of the things that distracted her from the chaos that her life had become and she heard a sound from the plants in the backyard. She thought it was a robber or a kidnapper, but her heart jumped in happiness when she saw it was Maverick!

"Come here Mave! Oh, It's so good to see you. I’ve missed you a lot!" she said really fast and made movements that should indicate to him that the leader was here, but he was really confused. 

When he finally realized what she was saying, he got up and whispered  "I love you, Ophelia Capulet" in her ear. She melted from the inside. 

"I love you too and I'm happy you are here, but if my dad catches you here it will be bad for both of us. Tell me, how has it been with Napoleon?"

Maverick started telling her how Napoleon had been distant and cold with him, making up the craziest rules to keep him from seeing her. Maverick was also obligated to do the worst jobs and hadn't gone on a mission outside of the base in days. Ophelia felt really guilty, that it was all her and her dad's fault, but didn't say anything to not interrupt him. They talked for a hour and could continue for a lot, but Ophelia heard her father coming so she quickly said:

"Mave you have to go! My father is coming and I don't want you to get in to trouble."

"Please Ophelia, this is not your fault. I talked to you first and I came here today. Don't be sad. We will talk later, meet me in the square next to the Crop's Theater" then he left.

Every day without him was sadder, but after a long time she felt hope again.

Early in the morning, Maverick was anxiously waiting for Ophelia, right where they had agreed last night. The only animal that the young fighter thought about was her, his princess. He’d be willing to do anything to be with her, spend his entire life at her side. It was certainly love at first sight, something that Maverick had never believed in. As a peasant and fighter, he never believed in those things. He had never been in love. For him “love” was only a word until she came and gave meaning to it.

A beautiful animal walking through the multiple flowers that surrounded the square was coming. Maverick’s eyes shined. She was wearing a blue little bow on her head. That was Ophelia. When she finally got to where Maverick was, she said, excitedly:

"Hi Mave!" The nickname made Maverick feel loved, nobody ever gave him a nickname before.

"Hey Ophelia." he would never be able to have the same spontaneity as her, that was a lovely and unique characteristic of hers.

"Well, what did you want to talk about? You seemed pretty excited last night." he was, indeed, but he was very nervous at the same time.

"Ophelia, I can't see any other solution apart from running away. Well this whole argument between Napoleon and your father has been consuming us and our lives here don't make sense as they used to. I think we could go somewhere else, so we could be together. I love you and if you don't feel the same way it's okay but I really believe we can work it out."

"Oh, I would love to! But how would we pull this off? My father is aware of everything that happens on the windmill and the marriage he arranged for me is getting closer. It was hell just to meet you here…"

"Trust me, we can do this."

And then he told Ophelia the whole plan, it didn’t seem that difficult. At night, when  everybody had fallen asleep, the princess would walk down the stairs, very silently, until she's outside the windmill. Then, they would get a ride with some friends of his to the corners of Manor district and cross the border walking, so nobody could see them, and then they would get the train to the city. Maverick had thought everything through, he would find a way to keep being a military, but not as a fighter commanded by Napoleon. He couldn’t walk away from his job and lose everything he had worked for. He applied to another military base, that way he could run away with the love of his life and keep following his dreams. Mave agreed to send Mercutio to let Ophelia know when he received the application response and both of them went home expecting the following days. 

The next morning, while Maverick was out, Napoleon was searching for him when he was surprised by a paper under Maverick’s pillow. It had a signature. Well, as a supervisor and chief of the base, he started to read the paper. It was a job application! 

Napoleon was in shock, why was Maverick doing that? Then he remembered Snowball's daughter, he was almost certain it was her influence. He didn't believe the dog he treated like a son was stabbing him in the back for a dumb girl. He needed his best fighter to be in his base, so he had an idea. Napoleon called that one military base where Maverick   was applying for, saying that the fighter had changed his mind and canceled his application.

Maverick came back and, in the hallway on the way to his room he bumped into Napoleon. The chief seemed angry, but why? Napoleon stood, in silence, for a while, with a raging mad face and a paper on his hands. He took a long and deep breath and started talking:

"I can’t believe you though I would never discover your application. There is absolutely no way you are going to that place."

"I’m sorry chief, with all the respect, there is nothing you can do about it. I used to think of you as a father to me but you left me no choice."

"Oh, so you believe in that huh? What do you think I am, little man? I command this whole place, for God sake! Do you really think I don’t know what is going on between you and that bastard’s daughter? I'm your direct superior and you can't just walk out without my approval."

Napoleon kept explaining how he had already called the manager of the Pinchfield military base and canceled Maverick's application. Napoleon said that if Maverick tried applying again he would tell Snowball and his precious Ophelia would be married to the Foxwood prince as soon as possible and they wouldn't see each other ever again. He told Maverick that he was trying to do the best for him because he cared about Mave's future and couldn't let him risk everything for a pig he knew wasn't worth the effort, but the dog was really mad. He couldn't believe how Napoleon was invading his personal life and putting his own problems in the way of Maverick's dreams, but he would not risk Napoleon telling Duke Capulet because he would send Ophelia away. He would not survive without knowing she was there for him. 

"What do you want me to do?"

"Stay away from the Capulets and keep working here. You'll become the first dog to be a general and live your best life."

            So that’s what Maverick did, he would do anything for her. He wouldn’t contact her anymore and didn’t even send Mercutio so she would know he was fine. He wouldn’t answer her letters and refused to go by her house. They haven’t been together for weeks since that day, she would go everyday to the same place they used to meet, hoping she would see her dear love again, but he never showed up. Everyday would get sadder. After some time she gave up and stopped going, but always asked Charlotte to check the mail box wishing he would try to contact her.

            One day, Ophelia was coming back to the Windmill when she found a letter from the one and only Mave on her bed. She couldn't be happier to hear from him, but she already expected it to be bad news. The letter said that he was so sorry for the past days, but they couldn’t ever meet up again, or else she would be sent away. She knew that was the truth but seeing him write that made Ophelia cry all night. What would she do now?              

She decided on the easiest way. She couldn't take it anymore. She sent a letter to Maverick telling him all the plans, she would fake her death so they could run away together. 

She drank a special tea created by her grandma's mother with the purpose of making one fall asleep. It was created to trick their fathers and husbands while they went to parties and Ophelia had used it multiple times with her dad. After drinking it, she laid down in the backyard under the windmill and pretended she had jumped over from the balcony. 

An hour later, Snowball came home and the servants delivered the news to him of his daughter's death together with a letter from Ophelia herself, saying she was completely alone and all she wanted was to be with Maverick. Since her father wouldn't let her, she had decided to take her own life rather than marrying someone just for money. Her heart belonged to another animal. Snowball found himself sobbing. He couldn't believe the path things had taken. That was all his fault for not letting her make her own decisions. 

             Snowball came searching for Maverick to tell him the sad news. The dog was completely shocked and his heart had been shattered. The soldier didn’t receive the letter that Ophelia sent him, he didn’t know about her plan. Without thinking twice, Maverick asked Snowball to lead him to the backyard. When they arrived he asked for a moment alone. As soon as they were just the two of them he grabbed his sword. His hands trembled when the cold and sharp metal met his skin. But he didn't think twice while stabbing the blade up to the moment where it met his heart. He died thinking he would be with his love and happy to be by her side.

Delightfully Violent

Napoleon’s POV

“Snowball is killing me. He is absolutely ruining all my plans, I can’t take this anymore. I don’t really know what to do”

“Comrade, I think you could get rid of him. In fact, you should get rid of him. It’s not like you don’t have the power to do so. The majority of the animals are on your side. If he gets out of the way, the farm will be yours and nobody will argue with that.” 

“How, Squealer? I can’t do that, it’s totally against our principles. I can try to do this in another way.”

“I know Comrade Napoleon, but in reality I can’t think of anything else for you to do. The other animals wouldn’t even know. With their stupidity, you could easily fool them, and they wouldn’t even care. Make Snowball the traitor, before he does that to you.”

Squealer slams the door behind him, leaving the room. He’s a crazy pig. I couldn’t ever do what he said. It’s night already, so I try to get to sleep, but the thoughts about what he said were like echoes in my head.

Napoleon’s POV

The competition between Snowball and I had grown intense. Campaigns started to pop out from different animals and the farm’s opinion was divided; This was making me worried, as Snowball’s influence was getting bigger. 

The meeting about the management of the farm was going to take place later today, and I was preparing myself carefully for it. I needed to choose the right things to say, so that I did not attack Snowball directly. This would be a selfish thing to do, and I also could not make the animals think badly or even get mad at me for not being reasonable. Nevertheless, I still needed to provide arguments strong enough to gain back my position in the farm’s leadership.

(Later that day)

“We the animals of Animal Farm are a family. We help each other, care for one another, and love each other. To complete our goals as a farm we need to work together. I have planned to design a windmill. You may be frightened, that it is too human. It will be difficult, but there will be a huge reward…”

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. How could Snowball try to gain the farm’s trust with such a superficial plan? A windmill? It would be a completely human thing to do - the opposite of what we aimed for with the revolution. He was making a promise that he wouldn’t be able to keep. It was nearly impossible for us to build a windmill in these conditions.

“Napoleon may seem like he wants to help you, but this is not his plan.”

WHAT? Where did this come from? This was unacceptable. While I took hours to think how not to put Snowball in an embarrassing spot, he does this to me? Maybe Squealer was actually-

“When he sends you to work, he sits and plans more work so he has more free time for himself. Imagine during the winter, doing whatever Napoleon says. He disagrees with the idea of the windmill. He says that he wants to work all animals hard so he will benefit, not you!”

This was the last straw. I could feel my rage boiling up inside me. I stood up and started shouting.

“This isn’t real! He is just saying this to gain your support! You cannot believe that! If you do you’re being just stupid, I would do everything for the farm and to help all of you! I work all the time, this isn’t fair. I don’t think you should believe in such a liar and corrupt pig!”

“Are you saying that I am the liar? You were the one who was planning to have the absolute power of the farm! Isn’t that selfishness AND hypocrisy?”

"THAT 'S IT!!!!” 

I don’t know what happened to me. The next thing I saw was my dogs coming at Snowball. Had I blown the whistle? Now I remember well that I in fact did. They started attacking my enemy and he ran, he ran and I just stood there, watching. They were going to kill him, and I made this happen. But at that moment, my rage was too strong for me to think about this.

I was still trying to calm myself when one of the dogs stood by me and said:

“We got rid of him sir”

Napoleon’s POV

Months had passed by. I was the official leader of the farm. Everyone was obeying me and doing everything I demanded. My life was, theoretically, everything I had always wanted. But somehow, this still wasn’t enough. It took me a while to figure it out, but Snowball’s absence made me numb inside. Man, this was torture. At first, I was in denial, but as time flew by, I could not avoid it anymore. Each day was more miserable than the other, but I couldn’t do anything about it. I had killed him. 

One day, everything changed. Someone knocked on my door. I headed towards it, as it would probably be Boxer or any other animal who would come ask me what to do, as always. But, as I opened it, I saw a very exhausted pig. He was wounded and hurt, and it looked as if he hadn’t gotten rest or food for days. I did not recognize him at first, but then it hit me. I knew this face very well. It was Snowball. 

“Oh my god, Snowball… I cannot believe you’re here. All this time, I thought you were dead!! The dogs told me they got rid of you and… Oh my god. What happened? How??”

“I ran away from the dogs and while they were distracted I jumped into a bush” Snowball said calmly. “I wandered through the woods for a long time pondering a lot. I thought about coming back here and confront you, but what was the point? You demanded my execution for a reason. I really messed things up at the speech. I just knew that if you were completely in charge of the farm, you wouldn't have time for me anymore. This idea was just unbearable. So I thought that if I was in charge of the farm, you wouldn’t be so busy to talk to me. And I would definitely find some time to be with you. Well, I did a lot of thinking, and realized that the only reason that I fought all the time with you was because I could not spend any time apart from you, but this was the only way I could find to do it. So, Napoleon, I know that what you did was cruel. And I don’t know exactly why, but I am in love with you. But all choices we've made have led us to this exact moment and I’ve never been so sure of something. I love you.”

I was so confused. All this time, all this yelling we did to each other, all this competition, all this hatred, was actually… love? But this wasn’t the idea that freaked me out the most. Of course, I had already accepted the fact that I didn't actually hate Snowball. But the idea of being in love with him wasn't weird at all. It kind of felt… right. 

“I know you must be thinking I’m crazy. I mean, you almost killed me, am I right? How could I genuinely be in love with you, huh? Maybe this will always be a mystery. And to be honest, I don’t really care. I just want to be with you, Napoleon.”

“Snowball… I-I-I think I love you too. Looking back, all those things I did was just so I could call you mine. I would really love to spend the rest of my life with you. We could manage the farm with you and me, together and peacefully.”

“Yes, my darling. It will be you and me against the world”

Snowball leaned towards me and layed down on my left shoulder and made himself comfortable while I thought to myself that I could lose all of the farm right now, I would still feel happy. Because I had him with me. I was, finally, feeling complete.

Snowball’s POV

Okay, the hard part of the job had already been done. He fell for it just as I thought he would. What a naive pig. How could he believe that I was in love with him, after he literally tried to kill me? Hahahahah. Everything was just going according to plan. Soon, this whole farm would be mine, and that bastard would be working harder than he had ever worked before. As I layed down on his shoulders, I smirked, with a victorious feeling.

Would that plan finally succeed or once again one of the leaders wouldn’t be able to share their power with someone else? Read the fanfic down below. Rating: T The Return of the Revolution

After the battle of the windmill, news spread fast all around England through pigeons that Napoleon sent, trying to make the other farmers feel sympathetic towards Animal Farm and help them during the crisis. Hiding near the farm with only a small plantation to his survival, and some hay to sleep on during cold nights, one old pigeon was able to find Snowball, who started planning his way back to the farm. 

Snowball asked the pigeon to deliver a message to Old Benjamin: “Old Benjamin, this is Snowball, I want to meet with you on the next rain by the straw man in the corn plantation to talk to you about me coming back to the farm, please do not share these news with no one, giving that they might tell Napoleon about our plans, and it is substantial that he doesn’t know about my intentions. See you soon Comrade“. 

After the pigeon accepts the message and delivers it, Old Benjamin gets afraid to go meet Snowball because Napoleon might find out and kill him. But he remembers about the period when his comrade was co-leading and decides to go. There, Snowball explains the situation, making one ally on the inside. Benjamin tells him about what Squealer had told all the animals about Snowball, and how he was now considered to be a traitor. It was in that moment, that Snowball realized that Squealer was the most crucial part of his plan, due to the fact of how persuasive he was. Napoleon asked Benjamin for one last favor, retrieving Snowball’s book about Julius Caesar strategies, the same book he used to protect Animal Farm when Jones came back. In the next rain, in a new spot, Benjamin delivered the book. Once he made it to the stall once again, all the animals were awake, except for Clover, who was suspicious of Old Benjamin, she pressured him into telling her everything, giving that she wouldn’t tell on him.

Weeks passed and no signs of Snowball. Clover and Old Benjamin started to get worried he had been caught, or even worse, given up on the plan, but they decided to wait a little longer and have faith. Some more time went by and winter finally ended, the animal’s chores were even harder, and their rations had been reduced. Clover and Benjamin were starting to disbelieve Snowball, who had gone missing for a really long period, without leaving no clue whatsoever of where he may have been. That same night when they went to their stall to get a good night’s sleep before starting to reconstruct the windmill, Old Benjamin noticed a handwritten letter by his pile of hay, which read: Old Benjamin, this is Snowball, sorry for taking so long, reading the Julius Caesar book was harder this time, I have reasons to believe that Napoleon and his fellow pigs were using the book as a coaster, so some pages got wet. But I have been formulating a plan to get Napoleon out of the farm and restore Animalism, but I need your help. I saw that you told Clover about our plans, I need you to slowly find more animals that are on our side. I will be giving you more information on the plan as time goes by, I don’t want to risk everything we’ve been working for if this note gets intercepted. I am trusting you on this. See you soon Comrade”.

After reading the letter, Old Benjamin told Clover what was in it and they started planning their own way to spread the alliance. They were building the windmill and setting up Boxer and Moses’s minds to tell them that Snowball was coming back, and preparing them so that they were able to take the news and not share them with no one else. Couple of weeks later, Old Benjamin approached the two and started a conversation about how bad their working conditions had become. Both Boxer and Moses disagreed but after a while talking they realized that life in Animal Farm wasn't equal. As Clover arrived, herself and Benjamin told the two of them what was really going on and invited them to the alliance. They were quite shocked but after some consideration they decided it was about time Animalism was restored.

Slowly Clover, Boxer, Benjamin and Moses developed a methodology to approach the other animals to get them on their side of the alliance, first the hard working horses that worshiped Boxer were convinced by his speech about how poorly they had been treated, then the cows and hens who had been convinced by Clover that told them about how they had been explored, and how their milk and eggs had been consumed by the pigs. After approximately 1 month of hard work in the farm, and forming the alliance, a group of around 30 animals had joined Snowball’s group. Benjamin then told Clover, Boxer and Moses to keep finding more animal’s to fight on their side while he tried to get in touch with Snowball through that pigeon. A couple of months went by and the secret alliance was getting bigger and bigger. Benjamin finally had been able to find the old pigeon and was preparing a letter to Snowball that read: Snowball, this is Old Benjamin, our secret alliance has around 60 members of all kinds, Napoleon and the pigs don’t suspect anything, we are just waiting for your orders to keep the plan going. I feel like we shouldn’t expand the alliance much more because the animals that are left may tell Napoleon about our intentions, also I believe that the members should be separated into groups to organize who receives each type of information. See you soon, Comrade”. Summer was near and all the members of the alliance had started to feel happier than they had ever been. The work of the windmill was going extremely well, they had had a good harvest so their rations increased a bit, and everything got even better when Terrance, the old pigeon came back with Snowball’s response to Benjamin’s letter.

“Benjamin, this is Snowball, about your suggestions, I think that you are correct about not spreading the alliance, however about the other part I strongly disagree. Animalism states that all animals are equal so you must share with them everything that you read in my letters. Now you should organize secret meetings of the alliance members, and start to train them for the rebellion, first you should organize all animals into four groups: Medics, around 6 animals, Animals that can write and read, around 10 animals, pigeons and fighters, the amount of animals that are left. Clover can teach 4 animals of the medics group, You can teach 9 animals to read and write, Moses can teach the pigeons how to share a letter without being noticed and Boxer can teach the rest of the animals how to fight. I won’t be in touch for some months, the rebellion will begin after my next letter, I also have been studying more of the Julius Caesar book, and I am almost done developing the best offensive strategy against the pigs and their dogs. I must say that convincing Squealer would help us much in the revolution. If you have time after all four groups achieve their goals, try and contact him and get him on our side. See you soon, Comrade”.

After telling the other animals about the letter sent by Snowball, they started having secret meetings twice a week, in which they reported how the situation was in each of the four groups. They also discussed the changes they wanted to make after the revolution. Clover, Boxer, Moses and Benjamin would together share hope with the animals, who had gotten happier since they joined the alliance. It was decided that they wouldn’t expand the alliance, and everyone would keep quiet about when they weren’t on the stall during the meetings. Time went by and the animals had become really good at their roles in the revolution, Clover reported that her group was ready to help, and was now just waiting for further information about where they should position themselves when the rebellion came. Moses a couple of meetings later was able to notify the other animals that all the pigeons he had been training were now able to deliver messages without them having any chance of being intercepted. In the same meeting Boxer told the rest of the alliance how most animals he had trained were able to face the dogs. They were getting happier and happier as time went by, and were waiting on Snowball’s letter to finally end Napoleon’s tyranist government. After a long period, 10 meetings after Boxer’s report on the work with his fighting group, Old Benjamin told all the animals that his group was now able to read and write properly, and so he started working on another part of the plan, getting Squealer on their side.

Benjamin thought that it would be easier to convince Squealer if he went on his own, but remembering the principles of Animalism he sent a short letter asking to see Squealer on the stall, while the other animals would be having a secret alliance meeting, and then try to convince him into turning sides. Squealer decided to go, and once he arrived he was surprised after seeing the amount of animals organized during the meeting. Clover was reporting the situation of her group. Some animals were wondering if the letter from Snowball had arrived  and many pigeons were flying around with sheets of paper, training how to pass letters from one animal to another. He was indeed surprised and wasn’t understanding what was going on, but decided to listen to Benjamin before jumping to any conclusions. After being told about the rebellion plan and how Snowball had been involved from the beginning, Squealer was looking happy, but was really worried about the possible consequences. After some more talk, he told Benjamin that he would need some time to think about it.

While waiting for Squealer’s response the animals that were inside the alliance spent some more time training for the rebellion and going to the meetings. Napoleon and the other pigs continued their dominance on the farm without any knowledge of the alliance, the animals were feeling more confident than ever. Old Benjamin was getting everything organized and waiting on Squealer’s response about turning sides. They stopped receiving news, although they continued to have hopes. After one long month of waiting Old Benjamin got a letter: “Benjamin, this is Snowball, I’m not going to be able to go to the farm, because Napoleon’s dogs know my smell, and if I go inbounds of Animal Farm, they will chase after me. I now rest upon you the responsibility to be the leader of the other animals, restore Animalism. I leave it up to you all the choices that are going to be made from now on. I’d suggest that once they start getting the smallest suspicion, you act. You are ready to lead them. About the strategies I’ve been studying, I would do the attack circulating the farmhouse, with five strategic points with one medic, two pigeons and one writer on each point and five animals protecting each spot. As for the attacks, I would suggest separating in five groups, with 1 writer, 2 pigeons and a part of the animals that would go taking space from the pigs area, you may dig small holes in the ground for your protection, and create some traps before the rebellion. But all that is up to you, I am sorry that it has to be this way, I wish I could be there with you. Good luck, Comrade”. 

After reading the letter, Old Benjamin contacted the other animals that were in the alliance and told them what Snowball said. Most animals were shocked, and some thought that the rebellion wasn’t going to work without Snowball. Benjamin tried to calm everyone down saying that Snowball was just like the rest of the animals, and that the revolution was theirs as much as it was Snowball’s so it shouldn’t be stopped. He told them that things would go on as they had been, meetings would keep happening twice a week, he would start working on strategies and understanding the ones sent by Snowball, the other animals kept working on the farm, trying to hide their excitement about the revolution that was about to happen. The only thing that made Benjamin worry was that Squealer hadn’t responded yet. He developed a plan in case Squealer or anyone turned on the alliance, which consisted in an early beginning of the revolution that had as its first step, after the setup part, the domination of the windmill, that had gotten finally constructed just one month before the revolution. He also believed that after the war started, and before they took over the farmhouse, Napoleon would try to get in touch with Mr. Pilkington and Mr. Frederick who could interfere severely in the war if not taken care. So as a solution 8 pigeons would be placed around the edges of the farm to spot anyone coming from the outside of the farm, and if nothing happened try to cut the power of the farm house so that the pigs wouldn’t be able to communicate with anyone outside of Animal Farm. For the rest of the plan he believed that the animals should, as Snowball said, circulate the farm house and slowly gain territory until they were able to make the pigs and their dogs get out and restore Animalism. There would have in each of the 5 fronts two pigeons ready to deliver messages written by the Writers Group to other fronts and to each front point, a name designed to a small base with a medic to take care of who got injured. In said front point there would be a medic, a writer and two pigeons. The domination of the windmill according to Benjamin had two purposes, the first one being to tell the pigs that they built the windmill, as a sign of rebellion and taking what was theirs. The second reason is that it had a great view of the battlefield which helped them during the nights to organize secret attacks that would be guided through messages delivered by the pigeons.

The setup part had started, Old Benjamin leadered the animals setting up for the revolution. He shared with the other animals the plans he had prepared with Snowball’s previous orientation. Every member of the alliance started preparing the front points, traps near the farmhouse and all the extra stuff that they needed. Then Benjamin instructed all the animals about their role during the war, it was told when and where each one of them should be, and what they should do. For most animals it was scary to face the pigs and their dogs, who for so long were the ones to lead them, but after months of preparation and countless hours dedicated to the revolution, the animals knew that they could pull it off. Old Benjamin instructed and prepared the animals as he was the one in charge since always, his great insight was admirable, and many animals respected him as much as they respected Snowball, if not more. Every animal on the alliance knew how the plan would go, the difficulties that they could wind up facing, but they were a team, and were in on the revolution. Benjamin had organized everyone really well, and was just waiting on Squealer’s response to start the rebellion. 

After some more time with no response from Squealer, Benjamin was getting really worried that Squealer wouldn’t want to help them. After some more days Squealer’s decision was revealed. After some pigs realized he was into something shady, Napoleon offered Squealer a co-leading spot and a personal room for him in the farm house, which was enough to make him tell Napoleon about the rebellion. Old Benjamin quickly found out and started putting the plan into action, hoping everything would work as planned. After discovering Squealer’s betrayal, Benjamin called the alliance to one last meeting in the stall. There, they organized the rebellion that was about to start, being necessary a quick organization on the last details, because Napoleon already knew their intentions. They decided to position themselves in the previously organized groups.The first four groups went to their front points, but the last group hadn’t been able to fully organize their front point because it was the windmill, so they positioned themselves near it and waited for the sun to rise. Once it did, they would finally go into it, finish setting up and send a pigeon to each of the other four front points telling them that the revolution started. When the sun rose, the dogs started to make noise, waking Napoleon up, the fifth group took over the windmill, and the second battle of the windmill had officially begun.

Being caught unprepared and outnumbered, the pigs didn’t expect all the preparation and smartness on the part of the animals, mainly because they were leadered by Old Benjamin. Each territorial move by the alliance caught the pigs off guard, even though the dogs were physically stronger than the alliance, the surprise got a better effect than strength, and all the training paid off. They dominated the surroundings of the farmhouse and Benjamin's plan to cut the power in the house worked. With no way out of the farm, and no way to get help from the outside the pigs didn’t stand a chance. Some pigs came out of the house with guns and the dogs tried to advance towards the animals, Squealer and Napoleon both had shotguns in their hands and tried to shoot against the animals who took one step back and got a bit hurt, but while the pigs were recharging their weapons the animals would take three, and sometimes even five steps forward, and in one of the advances Squealer was hit, and stepped on by a cow that didn’t even notice him. After that, the pigs went back to the farm house and didn’t do anything until it was dark. 

Exactly when the animals would normally go to sleep, Napoleon himself went out of the farm house alone and left a handwritten letter on the ground. One of the pigeons got it and delivered it to Benjamin in the windmill, the letter read: “Enough is Enough. You animals killed the one that use to help you, Squealer is now dead because of your actions, us pigs don’t want to be seen as the same as you, filthy, dangerous, dumb animals. We decreat by this letter that Animal Farm is no longer the house of the pigs. We are leaving with all the economy that Jones left, and all the belongings from the farm house”. After reading the letter Benjamin crossed parts of the letter and completed: “Enough is Enough. You animals killed the one that use to help you, Squealer is now dead because of your actions, us you pigs are don’t want to be seen as the same as you, filthy, dangerous, dumb animals. We decreat by this letter that Animal Farm is no longer the house of the pigs. We are leaving with all the economy that Jones left, and all the belongings from the farmhouse. You are leaving with nothing but shame, you should have never turned Animalism into a tyranist government. And you will never touch the Animal Farm area ever again. You leave tomorrow morning, by the time that us animals would normally start working” and had a pigeon deliver it without being noticed at the dinner table in the farm house. The morning came, and at the time previously established all the pigs and dogs left the farm in a line. They were never seen or spoken of again.

After three days of celebrations the animals gathered around the stall to establish the new era of Animal Farm. All animals agreed that things should be as they were when the rebellion first started. The windmill turned into a museum of the second revolution, and soon they built another windmill, and increased their technologies and increased their productivity. The things in the farm house were mostly sold and the money Jones kept was used to buy food for the animals. All the animals that got injured were healed and many establishments were founded, such as a hospital directed by clover, a church by Moses, a library full of books, because that was one of the only human items that the animals admired. They also re-established the 7 commandments and created a museum for Old Major. Animal farm was one of the most developed farms in England.

What happens with Mollie when she leaves the farm? Once Mollie departs from Animal Farm, a particular hatred of a socialist system rises within her, and a desire for material goods, consumerism, and capital drives her ambitions to create a new system.  She goes to a farm that still uses the human coordinating system, and Mollie introduces a new way of trading the food and actions performed by the animals. A system led by economical power, in which people strived to be those to possess the most credit. Mollie initiates a system of obtaining and exchanging credit between animals that perform actions within the farm and provides them with credits that are profited. What if she increases the farm's productivity on a large scale and gets the farmer's attention?

-------------------------------------<3-------------------------------------

Mollie didn't originally plan on fleeing. She wasn't a coward, well she was, but she didn't want to be one. The rebellion promised to improve the quality of their lives, but the rebellion only increased her working hours and calluses. She wasn't happier like Old Major promised, she was depressed, she couldn't take it anymore, and eventually, she left. 

A couple of days ago, one of the neighborhood men pet her nose, and for the first time in a while, she felt like she did before the rebellion started. She felt special in a way she could have her privileges again and she desired to relive those few seconds of joy. 

Mollie craved freedom, and today she knew she had every right to it. At first, it was tough, after all, she had been living on the farm throughout her whole life, and she had never been left alone. She knew she would miss Clover and Boxer who'd she had been raised with, and even though she loved them more than everyone else, she knew that the cause for leaving Animal Farm was bigger than any sort of affinity she had for her friends. And above all, she would miss the farm, her home, but Mollie knew deep inside that Manor Farm was dead way before she left. She didn't have anything of great value from the farm to get, so she looked backward to the Animal farm fence, and went looking for the man that stroked her nose earlier. 

His name was Adrian, Adrian Steven. He was Mr. Steven's only son, who ran a small wheat-producing farm. She briefly recalled a couple of times Mr. Jones bought wheat from the farm a few years ago, called "Steven's Farm". However, the news came that Steven's Farm hadn't been active lately, and some rumors even claimed the farm was currently bankrupt!   

After a short walk down the dirt road, Mollie found the entrance to the farm. The gates were old but sturdy and the sign said "Steven's Farm" so the mare didn't think twice.  She walked along the little road and looked around her. The lands were in good condition, but the plantations were relatively small. She headed towards the main house, which was simple but held a beautiful view of the entire farm, and although the room was tiny, it had a cozy feeling towards it. It was a cold afternoon and the harsh winter wind grazed her mane, untangling the golden locks. Mollie quietly waited for Adrien to arrive, in the hopes he would possibly take her in. 

About an hour later, Adrien arrived, he was wearing unintentionally ripped jeans, held by a black leather belt, a red flannel that happened to be covered in mud which he unbuttoned down, exposing his fit abdomen. He looked tired and went up to sit on one of the chairs outside his house. Mollie walked over to him, but because his eyes were closed he didn't notice her. She was only able to grasp his attention when she happily neighed, waking him up. 

"Well hello. What have we got here?" Adrien softly laughed, sitting up "Your Jones' aren't you dear?"

His amber green eyes sparkled brightly fixed on Mollie, "Well, I was needing a new horse, and what can I say? Finder's, keeper's am I right?" he smirked to which Mollie replied by bowing her head. 

Adrien eventually walked her down to the stable, it was small and messy, but somehow she still seemed to like it. 

"I check on you tomorrow," Adrien promised before heading out. 

She looked around her and saw that the horses were looking at her in a judgmental way. Mollie introduced herself and asked the name of her new companions, but no one seemed to respond.

"Good evening everyone, my name is Mollie, it is a pleasure to meet you all… What are your names?...."

 She wondered if the horses there spoke her language and got extremely confused, but after lying down in the stall, she sees the horses talking perfectly to each other. Saddened, Mollie falls asleep wondering if her new life would be better and if she could ever have a good time again. Bothered by the cold in the stall, she also looked dissatisfied with the place. Even though the other animals didn't seem to like her, she still felt special whenever she was able to catch Adrien's attention,

Mollie got up and got ready to receive the tasks. A dog rushed in and entered the dark stable. His name was Dazai and he was quite excited. Mollie liked his spirit and listened carefully. 

"Today you'll start the day by taking the firewood that Mr. Steven cut yesterday to the main house. After that, you will take the sheep's food to the pasture and return to the stable for the meal. So far that's all. Have a nice day!" 

The dog took off in a tremendous run and the horses began to leave the stable to fetch firewood. Mollie's stall was one of the first ones to the way out and when she began heading, the other horses trotted out, pushing her and leaving her behind. Mollie was uncomfortable and determined that she would do the job perfectly to show Adrien and the horses that she was capable of keeping up with them. She then arrives at the agreed place and puts some pieces of firewood on her back, heading towards the house. The other 4 horses also did the same and kept repeating this process for a few moments. When Mollie was returning once more to get more firewood she saw Ringo, a skinny brown horse carrying a huge amount of firewood. He was very tired and could barely steady himself on the floor. Mollie walked over and offered to help by putting some of the load on her back. She took the firewood to the house and when she returned there was nothing left. After that, all the horses went to the pasture to take the bags of food.

"Thank you so much for the help, I don't know how to thank you." 

Mollie looked at him casually "You don't have to, it was nothing. What is your name?". 

 "My name is Ringo, or at least is what Mr. Steven calls me".

 "Is a pleasure to meet you, Ringo, I'm Mollie, as you may have already known".

  Ringo apologized to her for the moment at the stable. They began to load the bags and deposit them at the sheep's feeding place. Mollie was extremely tired and couldn't bear to carry any more weight. Her laziness took over her body and by the third sack, she was already exhausted. Ringo took advantage of the moment and thanked the mare for helping by bringing her some sacks. Mollie was very grateful and rested for a few minutes. After all the bags were taken away, the horses returned to the stable and waited for Adrien. Ringo wanted to introduce Mollie to the rest of the horses. 

"Guys, this is Mollie, I wanted to tell you that she helped me a lot today and that you were wrong about her last night. I think we should give her a chance and even if we have to share our food with one more horse, we'll have her help and so we will get more conditions for this farm. So I hope you treat her fairly and kindly" 

The horses approach her and introduce themselves

 "Hello, my name is Regan, welcome" 

"They call me Bennett, I was very impressed with your help today"

 "Good afternoon, my name is Maribel, thank you for helping our friend Ringo here." 

The last horse, Max, didn't want to introduce himself and continued eating.

After a moment of rest from the horses, Adrien arrived at the stable and went to treat the animals.

"You all did pretty well today, I'm very pleased with your work! Later this afternoon I'm going to the city to buy some oil and I'll be taking one of you with me. Who shall be the lucky horse?" He smiled charmingly, adjusting his dark brown hat. 

Mollie and Adrien headed towards the city and passed through wonderful paths between the various farms in the region. The late afternoon weather was good and when they arrived in the city they saw people happy and relaxed. Adrien led Mollie toward the town's machine and tool store and tied her to a pole at the front of the place. Mollie saw Adrien entering the store that had a dirty look but you could see the image of the place through the window. Mollie saw the salesman bring a huge gallon and put it on the table and Adrien handed him a bill. The mare found that very interesting and remembered the exchange of help she had done with Ringo this morning. Adrien handed over his bill and took the gallon out of the store and placed it firmly in Mollie's cell. He untied her from the post and the two returned to the farm.

Mollie returned to the stable to rest from the long day. After a while as night fell, Mollie heard the horses fighting. She approached and saw Maribel and Ringo talking to everyone 

"But you don't understand, don't you think that she's here to help? Mr. Steven knows what he's doing, if he wants to have her on the farm it's because that will be something good" 

Max was frowning and replied 

"She brings trouble for us Marbibel, can't you see? Our food supply is running low and Adrien can't take care of this farm alone, sooner or later we'll end up with no food and in bad conditions,  we can't have more animals here"

"Maybe there's something we can do…" Mollie said approaching. "Where I come from, animals were tired of their lives alongside humans and rebelled as you may already know, but this anguish did us no good!"

"I think we have to support each other and respect what our owners tell us, because they know what's best for all of us. As you can see, we are still here healthy and strong and we cannot give up."

"We are still healthy, but it is just a matter of time." said Bennet. 

Mollie responds "I say we need to settle down and do something to help Adrien, and not sit here regretting his decisions. Just now I was with him in town and I saw that he exchanges the money he receives from the wheat for things like tractor oil. I think we could do the same between us. In the morning Ringo and I exchanged favors and we both had better yields. We should help each other and try to make this farm more profitable. Only then can we have a good life" 

"I agree with Mollie!" Said Maribel 

"Let's try to do that tomorrow, if anyone needs help with something, just ask, and we'll be exchanging favors with each other. Let's share this idea with the other animals, so the whole farm will benefit." 

"Great idea Mollie!" said Ringo. 

"It may even work, but how will this make the farm yield more Mollie?" asked Bennet. 

"If we exchange favors and help each other, it will not be difficult for anyone to perform their tasks and we will work more this way because at different times of the day, each animal has a different income and instead of spending it just doing on your part, help the other as well because we will support the other and we will improve our own income. With improved yields, we will be able to perform tasks faster and more efficiently. The tasks will start to increase, but we will consolidate and make the farm more productive and active"

"Ok then, if we don't have any other ideas let's give it a try" said Max. 

The next day, some of the horses worked hard on the first tasks, but later  they were already tired. The others who were lazier in the morning worked hard the rest part of the time helping those who were tired. Lunch time was barely over and the horses were done with all their chores. Adrien praises them for their effort and gives them the afternoon off to rest while he plants the wheat.

A part of the horses watched him tend the wheat while the others went to spread the exchange idea to the rest of the animals. Maribel, Bennett and Mollie watched Mr. Steven carry out the planting. He organized the seeds into sectors on the ground and used the watering can to water the soil. After a while of repeating this process, the horses already knew how to plow the land and plant the wheat.

In the evening, upon returning to the stable, all the animals gathered and praised Mollie's plan, wanting to participate. Mollie was very happy with the result and said that if everyone helped, they would eventually be able to make the farm very productive.

The days passed and the results were coming. The animals were very productive and they even worked harder than usual to help the rest even more. After a few weeks, Adrien began to notice that the farm was bringing great results. The sheep had bred more, the hens had laid more eggs, the dogs had led the sheep faster, the cows milked more milk, everything was going very well. 

Mollie, along with Bennett and Maribel decided to teach the horses how to take care of the land. One night, when Adrien and the whole farm were already asleep, the horses withdrew from the stable and went to the wheat fields. They took the bags of seeds and started to deposit the seeds in the holes they dug, then watered all the seeds planted, just as they watched Adrien do. 

The next day, Adrien woke up and went to remove the fur from the sheep, when he came across a vast area full of soil and planted seeds. At first he was amazed at the length of his plantation, he had no idea that he had so much land and so much seed. He wondered who had done it all.

The days passed and the plantation only grew and the animals only improved their tasks. When harvest time approached, the horses had agreed that they would again go out at night and harvest all the wheat, leaving it in the storage place. When the time came, they went out and harvested all the wheat and put it all in storage. Adrien finally woke up with the noise already waiting for someone to be doing something in his land. When he got there he saw all the horses sorting the wheat and was very glad to see the scene. He helped them and took them back to the stable, where the horses slept exhausted.

The next day Adrien wanted to talk to the horses and went early to the stable. Regan, Max, Bennett and Ringo explained the whole story while Adrien stared at Mollie with a smile on his face. Mollie said she elaborated this plan because the animals would help each other without leaving anyone tired or worn out. Adrien said he was going to sell all the wheat and use the money to renovate the stable as a way of thanking the horses. He also said that he was interested in investing in the stock market in order to improve the farm's conditions and ultimately he wanted Mollie to manage the farm's money because she knew what the animals needed to do. 

Weeks passed and the farm began to generate more and more returns. Now they not only had a stratosphere of wheat, but the resources that were previously only available to be consumed on the farm could now also be traded, such as milk and eggs and Mollie managed the tasks and exchanges of shares between the animals with mastery in addition to help Adrien invest his money. 

One day Adrien decided to go invest in the stock market. He took Mollie and they went into town. Mollie was very excited and when Adrien returned from the bank, he told her everything. 

"Well, basically I have ownership of a certain percentage of a company's worth, but if the worth goes down, so will the stock's value. It's quite risky depending on how much money you decide to invest, but I like living life on the edge, so I invested pretty much every cent I have on a single stock, I think it was soy or something of the sort."

Mollie stared in shock, how could Adrien spend so much money on one stock? What if the value decreased so much they went bankrupt? Adrien didn't really seem to care, he was always so relaxed about stuff, he didn't even research what stock he would invest in! 

The following months, the  stock's value didn't really seem to change because the economy was quite stable. Mollie was very glad for that, because she strongly disapproved of Adrien's actions, he however was underwhelmed, as he expected some sort of lottery-like miracle. Surprisingly, 4 months after the day Adrien purchased the stock, it's value seemed to double! Apparently the demand for soy had a huge uprise as it was a cheaper substitute to farm food. 

On the consecutive weeks, Mollie was greeted with the unforseen news that Animal Farm was bankrupt! A smile crept on Mollie's face… They had profited way more than expected, so there was extra money to spend, and well, like she learned from Adrien, living life on the edge was so much more fun! 

Mollie knew deep inside what she had to do, she was going to buy Animal Farm. The succeding day, Mollie and Adrien headed to the farm with a proposition on their minds. Entering the gates to the farm she formerly left was emotionally hard, but she knew she didn't want to be a coward anymore. 

"Mollie." Napoleon faced her, his dark eyes piercing her sould. 

"I see your selling the farm," she spoke firmly, "we have an offer."

The walls of the tank seemed to be closing up on Tilikum. The 6 meters walls looked more like 2 meters long, and it was progressively getting smaller. He hardly remembered the ocean, where he could swim freely on the coast of Iceland. The memory of his capture still haunted him. 

The show was about to start, and hundreds of people were impatiently waiting for him. The day looked like any other; he would jump in specific ways in clocked times, pretending to love the humans next to him, acting like nothing was wrong.

Once the show started, he noticed something was weird, multiple pigeons were flying around the tank he was performing. But they weren't just passing by, they were saying things. In between the dives, Tilikum could only comprehend certain words such as “rebellion”, “free”, and “justice. The sight of these pigeons distracted him from his jump and he accidentally fell on the wrong side of the tank, splashing water right on the electronic equipment responsible for the music. When the water entered into contact with the equipment, sparks flew in the air and were quickly followed by fire. The crowd, scared by the flames, started to run away like crazy, causing many people to get hurt in the rush.

Tilikum knew he would be punished. Like so, he was sent to an even smaller tank and stayed there for hours without food. He was left to starve and could do nothing about it. When his anger started growing, he remembered the pigeons from the show and looked to the sky, searching for them. It didn't take long for them to make an appearance.

“Hello, my fellow comrade!” said one of the pigeons, landing on the rock closest to the whale. 

Unfamiliar with contact with other animals, Tilikum was skeptical and did not answer at first.

“There is no reason not to trust us, we came here to help you, to inform you that you could live a happy life if you want to…”

“I don’t understand…”

“What if we told you there was a place, not far from here, where the animals are free and don’t live ruled by humans? Where they only work for themselves?”

“That is impossible” Tilikum could never imagine a life not ruled by humans. He could never imagine being free.

“It is not” the first pigeon replied “That is the story we came here to tell you. It is the story of Animal Farm...” 

Tilikum had never heard of anything like what happened to the Manor Farm, but as the pigeons went on with the story, he was getting more inspired and excited about living independently, but he did not wanted to wait as long as it did for the Animal Farm revolution to take course, he wanted to quickly act in order to be free for the rest of his life. 

At night, long after the pigeons left SeaWorld, Tilikum was thinking through all the ideas he had for his own rebellion, On contrary to Animal Farm, he was alone, he didn’t have any other animals to collaborate with a more complicated plan. It had to be simple and effective. 

Tilikum did not sleep at all that night, but in the morning the plan was ready, and by the end of the first show he would be a free whale.

Everything was going as usual. The show was about to start, and hundreds of people were impatiently waiting for him. The day looked like any other; he would jump in specific ways in clocked times. But this time he was not going to pretend to love the humans next to him, he was not going to act like nothing was wrong. The moment was coming.
