“Twilight,”
Pinkie growled plaintively, her voice excessively disdainful,
“Would you get your dumb head out of that book and PAY ATTENTION?”
Twilight’s eyes remained still as a doll’s, occasionally moving in sharp turns when she went on to the next sentence.
“Mhm,”
She replied distractedly,
“That’s unfortunate.”
Pinkie’s irises shrunk so that they were just tiny chips of eyes glaring and enraged at the purple pony, and her gaze locked on Twilight as if she were to soon become a victim.
“Don’t make me CLOSE THAT BOOK!”
She exclaimed furiously.
“No, i’m busy,”
Twilight breathed.
Pinkie pie leapt into the air and landed with ridiculous poise on top of the table where Twilight was reading.
“Be careful, Spike,” Twilight murmured, “That’s expensive.”
“Expensive?!” Pinkie pie exclaimed, “IT’S ATTACHED TO THIS CASTLE WHICH GREW OUT OF THE GROUND!!!!”
She drew in a deep breath and continued, “How are any of us supposed to know WHAT VALUE IT IS?!”
Pinkie pie shakingly placed a hoof on Twilight’s temple and patted it.
“I would really like to slap this right now,”
She whispered.
“Mmm.”
Twilight said.
“Is that your way of giving me permission?” Pinkie pie murmured hopefully.
“I want to be left alone. This book is very interesting.”
Pinkie pie was sure Twilight still hadn’t even registered what she’d said. Holding in an explosion of anger, Pinkie lifted the side of the book to examine the cover and read the title.
Expert tips on kitchen designing.
“HEY!” Twilight shouted, noticing that Pinkie had moved the book.
“Sorry not sorry,” Pinkie muttered then added, “I don’t know why you’re reading that. It’s not like you’ll ever use the kitchen. You never even showed me the one in your old library.”
“It wasn’t necessary to the plot,” Twilight retorted indignantly.
“Oh, baloney,” Pinkie hissed.
“It’s bologna,” Twilight corrected.
“I DON’T CARE ANYMORE! GOODBYE, TWILIGHT!”
Pinkie pie erupted and flew out of the room. Twilight could hear several fast-paced, furious hoof-steps before a door flew open and slammed closed, signifying the pink pony’s exit from the castle.
“Geez,” Twilight muttered to herself, “She’s so rude.”
