“What did you say?” asked Twilight, her anger fading from her face as the two came rolling to a stop.

“The square root of five hundred and eighty one is twenty four point one zero three nine,” said Pinkie Pie. As Twilight’s face crossed from confused into puzzled, Pinkie spoke again.

“e to the pi minus pi is equal to nineteen point nine nine nine zero nine nine nine.”

Confidant that her plan to seduce Twilight with math was working, Pinkie spoke one more time.

“e to the i multiplied by pi is negative one.”

“Pinkie,” said Twilight, “what are you doing?”

“I’m seducing you with math, silly!”

“Seducing me...with math?” repeated Twilight, “What gave you the idea that you could seduce me with math?”

“Weell, Dashie said that you were a total egghead and were nerding out over some weird math thing the other day, and that if I wanted to make out with you, which I totally do, that I should learn about math and use my math to seduce you and then we could make out!” said Pinkie, with a completely unrepentant, but completely honest smile on her face.

There was a pause, and then Twilight Sparkle crashed her lips into Pinkie’s, crumpling her immaculate Starswirl the Bearded costume against Pinkie’s chicken outfit. Eventually, the unicorn pulled away.

“It was the math, wasn’t it? I seduced you with my mathy prowess,” said Pinkie Pie.

Twilight Sparkle simply shook her head and smiled.

“Next time, Pinkie, you can just ask.”

“And that, kids, is the story of how your mommies had their first make out. Next, I’ll tell you the first time we...”

“Pinkie!” cried Twilight, “They don’t need to hear that!”

“Really? But it’s a super-fun story, Twilight, especially if I include all of the sound...”

“No!” cried Twilight, “but tell you what. Why don’t you put the kids to bed, and we’ll...re-enact it.”

“Ooh. Bedtime, kiddies!”
