"Yeah, you guys have been so nice, I want to contribute back." I smiled. "And naturally you chose me as your boss." She grinned. I rolled my eyes and smiled back. "Look, I love you Em', but..." Bonbon bit her lip. "You're a disaster in the kitchen. Remember the egg incident?" She asked. "Oh yeah!" I laughed. "You guys couldn't leave the bathroom for a few hours! Although I'm still offended, they weren't that bad." "You literally gave us food poisoning." Bonbon monotoned, which I had learned over these last few months that she was very fond of doing. "... I guess you have a point." I mock pouted. Bonbon snickered. "Well I need to get back to work, but good luck on finding the job." She smiled. "Thanks." I turned, only to immediately trip over a stallion and his tray of cupcakes, which consequently went everywhere. "Oh my gosh! Are you ok?" The stallion asked, standing up and looking at me concerned. "I d-didn't mean to trip you! Oh geez, now there's cupcakes everywhere! Oh no, what did I do?!" He began to panic. I stood up, brushed myself off and tapped the stallion on the shoulder. "Hey, it's fine. I should have been looking where I was going. It's my fault, so I'll cl-" "No, no- it's my fault. I-I'll get it." The grey coated, black-and-yellow mane-d pegasus said, swooshing off to go get some stuff to clean it up. "Hey, It's no big deal, I got it." I said, taking the mop from his hooves. "But it was my fault, they were my cupcakes." "Which is why I need to buy you new ones and clean up the mess I created by bumping into you." "N-no, it's alright, I don't-" "Want to be a burden? That's what I would be if I didn't buy you new cupcakes, and clean up." I declared. He nodded. "At least let me help clean." He said. "It wouldn't feel right if I didn't." "Alright, you mop." I grinned. And then I saw his face. I was snapped out of my stupor by some laughter (Rainbow's laughter) from the other side of the room. "Hey! Looks like both, you two found a crush!" Rainbow called between fits of laughter. For a moment, I was confused, wondering why she said that... until I realized my wings wouldn't fold down. ... So that's what a wing boner is...
