We Built This City

Manny! Dios mio, Manny, she's talking to us! Pay attention!

What? oh for the love o. why did we have to use your name? I'll never get use to this!

Hay, this wasn't my idea, pendejo. That blue space horse said we can't have our bodies back or go home until this building is done.

But why did we have to be in the same dang horse body!?

I don't know! Look, you have the mouth today, for whatever reason, so use it before she gets suspicious!

Rarity watched the thoughts rising from her eccentric friend's head impassively. The autumn breeze ruffled her mane in a rather pleasant way. It was growing in quite nicely, her mane that is, and her tail as well. She could smell just a hint of honey suckle and ash on the wind and managed to catch a glimpse of three breezies playing something resembling tag around the beams of her future home. Well, that certainly explains a lot about him. She waited patiently for Bob, and apparently Manny, to finish bickering with... themself. Hee hee, Twilight would love nitpicking over that word.

"Oh, hi, uh, Rarity," How did I forget her name in two dang seconds? why can Bob swear in spanish but I cant swear in english!? "Uh, Bono's nachos, eh, good morning." Stupido! It's 'buenas noches', but that means 'good night'. You say 'buenos dias' for good morning. Actually, no, don't even try spanish. They said with a terrible mockery of Bobs 'spanish' accent.

"Its okay, Manny," Rarity said calmly. "I was just passing by and thought I would say hello." She smiled at him... them... whatever, trying to seem as nonthreatening as she could. Celestia knows she wouldn't want to cause him any more stress then they already had already been through, them having been astrally extruded into a strange new body and world recently and all.

"Eh- wa- how did you?" Eh- wa- how did she? ¿Cómo carajo? Clearly, he were both utterly flabbergasted.

"Oh, I can see your thoughts," the friendly marshmallow horse replied with a smile. "Don't worry, I'm mostly sure nopony else can. Well except the princesses, maybe. Oh, and the fey, but mostly just me."

Manny and Bob just stared at her for several seconds. They weren't even thinking, judging from the lack of thought bubbles. "Well... I'll see you two latter then; give you a chance to gather your collective thoughts, as it'were. Ta ta."

I don't like this town Bob.

Ya...
