“Oh, my God… It’s COUNT OLAF,” Sunset shouted angrily at a modest-sized flat screen TV as she rose to her feet, “again!” she spat out as if the word disgusted her.
“What?!” Pinkie Pie exclaimed in disbelief from a small black, leather sofa as she looked at Sunset and then looked at the TV. “No way! That guy has a peg leg and an eye patch! Count Olaf has both eyes and both legs! There’s no way that man is Count Olaf! I mean… he’s like half-pirate, half-vintage Old Spice commercial!”
Sunset’s face muscles visibly twitched as she wheeled around to Pinkie. “Pinkie, Count Olaf has already done this once… Twice if you count the sec—”
“Hehe… ‘count’…”
Sunset’s face tightened. “Twice if you count the secretary bit.”
Pinkie glanced at the TV then back towards Sunset. “But he just introduced himself as ‘Captain Sham’!” Pinkie shrilled. “Count Olaf is not a captain.”
“Yes, Pinkie! ‘Sham’ as in fraud!” Sunset shook her head. “Either Olaf is a huge fan of irony, or he’s just as stupid as all the other adults in this show…” She glanced back at the TV. “Just… there! Watch the kids! They’ll point it out. They’re probably the only two who are sicker of this pattern than I am!”
Pinkie pursed her lips and diligently went back to watching the TV. After a few moments of watching, her eyes widened. “Ooooooo… You’re good!” she said.
Sunset closed her eyes as she took a deep breath, then let it out as she opened them. As she chiseled a smile onto her face, she gently placed her hands on Pinkie shoulders and lowered her head slightly to stare directly into Pinkie’s sky blue eyes with her turquoise ones. “Pinkie… you know I love you and I also know that you know that I know you perpetually live in some weird, acid-trip fantasy land of pure bliss, but it’d be nice if you took a little time to focus on the real world from time to time.”
Pinkie smiled slyly. “You’re just jealous because you can’t do this!” she declared as she held out a closed hand and opened it revealing a large, white marshmallow. “Hungry?”
Sunset scowled and slapped the marshmallow out of Pinkie’s hand. “No! I’ve put on like five pounds since you’ve developed your new powers!”
