Twilight looked on her back and at Spike, confused and bewildered.

"What was that Spi-"

She got cut off by him and felt an unamused glare somehow rip into her soul.

"I said that it looked like shit."

Her eyes widened in surprise at the language and she opened her mouth to speak only to get cut off again.

"Plus it hurts my eyes. Just... ugh! the colors are forced and it looks like a foals toy."

Again, she opened her mouth to speak but it was Rarity that cut her off this time after she walked up beside her.

"I'm afraid he's right darling. In my opinion it looks absolutely horrid. The colors clash and everything is incredibly..."

She took a moment to think about her words. She settled for a questioning word that described it.

"Dull? It's quite hard to know how to describe it if I'm to be honest. It just... looks bad."

"Ah second that and although I don't agree with Spikes language, he's right. It just has a children's feel and to be honest with ya sugarcube, it doesn't look all that nice. It looks like it could collapse any day now."

Applack added as she came up to the purple ponies left. Twilight was just staring forward in thought as she came to terms with these words and a few mumbles of agreement from the others became known. A familiar blue Pegasus spoke up next.

"Yeah. It's just... not cool, ya know? It doesn't look awesome at all."

Although Twilight wasn't directly looking at the others, she saw Fluttershy out of the corner of her eye, nodding along in silent agreement. She felt an ear twitch but let out a relieved sigh when Pinkie began to stand up for her.

"Well it doesn't look tooo bad"

She started with a bright cheery smile.

"It could stand a make over though. A massive one. Like a super duper Uber™ make over!"

She exclaimed. Twilights smile dropped immedietly out of insult. She didn't know how to feel. A small glimmer of hope seemed to shine though and soon enough, she heard Spike speak once more.

"Yeah. Still, it's not that bad... it could be tasty I suppose. It's made of Crystal after all. It's kinda like a gem."

"And I could possibly work with a similar looking pattern. Perhaps in an abstract design?"

"That could work ah suppose. And although ah don't like it, it manages to stand out. Maybe it can attract more ponies. Who knows, it could even help mah business now that I think about it!

Applejack said happily, seemingly brightening up to the idea. Next up came the timid voice of Fluttershy.

"It's kind of... nice I suppose"

"And it could help with parties too! I could have like, a billion parties in there!"

Pinkie said ecstaticly. Some more murmers of agreement came along and soon enough it all died down, everybody waiting for the one pony who didn't compliment the castle to speak. Rainbow Dash. She kinda shrugged.

"Eh, it's alright I guess."

The soaring of Twilights heart couldn't be higher and now, it was the most wonderful feeling in the world. Her smile was beaming and it felt as if the sun was shining directly on her. For the final time, she opened her mouth to speak her praise and thanks to the others. It appeared that the others had something to say though. She stepped forward and turned around to face them, to hear the words of their glorious praise. All in perfect synchronisation, they spoke...

"It still looks like shit."
