You could add aching neck to the list of symptoms. Hippogriffs really seemed to like to play with her emotions. Didn't her new BFF hippogriff know how excited she was to be able to groom and ride him? Didn't he know that she was absolutely chomping at the bit? Not to mention that the riding was going to be inevitable so he might as well just get the bowing out of the way so they could all move on with their lives.

Maybe she picked out a rude hippogriff. Maybe she needed to scoot over to the next one? AJ did not want a rude hippogriff. She was actually thinking of scooting down when FINALLY the hippogriff bowed his head. Took you long enough!

AJ straightened herself up and walked over to him. She reached up and petted his head. "I don't know why you make things so difficult. I WILL love you and you WILL love me." she said in that baby talk voice that you reserve for your pets.
