Short Hand: Aftermath of Science

Shepherd: "Twiliiiiight! What the hell-Where did all these bits come from?!"

He gestures to the pile of gold bits on the kitchen table.

Twilight: "Ummmm..." taps her hooves together "I asked for donations from all the research participants... I set fifty bits as the minimum donation and well..."

Shepherd: "... If I didn't know any better, I would swear you were pimping me out."

Twilight: "No! Nononono! It totally isn't that! And it totally isn't because the Mayor sent me a bill for all the damages our adventures have caused to the town!"

Shepherd: Deadpan expression

Twilight: "... Okay, you're right! I just needed to pay my debts somehow! Without asking the princesses or my parents for more funds!" sobs

Shepherd: sigh, pats her on the head "Okay, okay... I get it. But you gotta start telling me this stuff, damnit!"

Twilight: "All right! Ummm... Also... Can you do me a huuuuge favor?"

Shepherd: "Uh huh?"

Twilight: "Can you go give the Mayor a massage and then convince her to cut my debt in half?"

Shepherd: "SERIOUSLY?!"

Twilight: "Okay okay, too far... I know!" She holds out a golden ring

Shepherd: "... What?"

Twilight: "Well if we were married, we'd get a thirty percent tax benefit which would, factoring into the debt, let me pay it off without having to pimp you out-"

Shepherd: "TWILIGHT!"

DAMN TWILIGHT!!!!! Your Plot is definitely in the doghouse now! Shepherd needs to spend some time with Luna for a bit to get away from the crazy that happens with the girls.
