Celestia flew quickly towards Golden Oaks Library. She had heard rumours of a very foul odour coming from the library for a week and she was starting to get worried about the well-being of her former student now lover.

As she landed on the library's doorstep, she wrinkled her muzzle from a disgusting smell coming from the library. With a concerned frown, she opened the front door. An urge to vomit came towards Celestia and she had to cough and swallow to stop herself from actually vomiting. She conjured herself a hoofkerchief and pressed it at her snout to block the strong smell. She looked around.

A noticeable number of flies were buzzing around the library. Rotten food were littered on the floor, flies happily guzzling the mouldy remains of daisy sandwiches, crisps, hayburgers and spilled milk. Books lied on the floor, carelessly next to the rotten food. Spike was trapped in a dome of magical shield, wearing a protective suit with a gas mask and looking resigned.

But what shocked Celestia the most was a certain lavender alicorn princess, who had suddenly turned into a filthy slob. Twilight was sitting on an armchair in a very awkward position only fit for lazy bipeds eating a stale-looking hayburger messily. She looked absolutely disgusting! Her mane was disheveled, her coat was matted with some greasy splotches on her once perfectly beautiful purple coat and flies were buzzing lazily above her. It wouldn't surprise Celestia that Twilight might have aslo gotten fleas, ticks and lice on her.

Twilight belched loudly and turned to itch behind her ear with her rear hoof when she noticed Celestia. Time stopped for her; her mind started to prepare for ultimate panic.

Celestia moved as close as she could dare at her unwashed lover. "Would you mind explain to me why did you neglect the basic rules of hygiene? And why did you trap poor Spike here?"

Twilight kicked her hoof on the ground while she tried avoiding Celestia's very disappointed eyes. "I'm on a dare. And I put Spike in a barrier because he was going to stop it before it completed."

Celestia's brow rose. "A dare? From whom?"

"Applejack and I got into an argument which started with her saying that unicorns and city ponies can't get themselves dirty, and I told her that that stereotype wasn't true. After that, she dared me to not wash for a week but I told her that I can get more filthy than that, and so here I am; a princess turned into a slob."

Celestia didn't look amused. "Right. Twilight, stop what you are doing, I am going to put in the bath and wash you myself." Golden magic surrounded Twilight as she levitated the younger alicorn with Twilight protesting like a foal.

"Oh come on, Celestia! Applejack will be coming any minute now! I have to win this dare!"

"No, you will go to the bath to wash," said Celestia sternly.

"But-"

"I will wash with you in my personal bathroom. How does that sound, love?"

Twilight thought it over, finally sighing in defeat. "You win this time, Tia."
