Twilight was visiting the castle! So everypony was in a cheery mood. Celestia and Luna were entertaining her but needed to be called away for an important meeting. So, the purple alicorn princess was left alone in the sitting room for a moment. That was, until Nick entered, carrying a clipboard.
"Hey Sparky! How are you doing? Celly and Luna seemed happy to see you."
Twilight smiled. "Of course they were! But they had to go hash out some new exceptions in land laws. How are you?"
Nick smiled. "I am fine. So, all alone, huh? Well, I suppose I can help you out a bit. I was going to go get some food from the kitchens. Do you want anything?" He asked, raising his notepad for emphasis. "Some pancakes, perhaps?"
"No thanks, it's too late for pancakes. How about a hayburger? Medium rare, with lettuce, tomatoes, and... daisies, please."
"Alright. Do you want anything else?"
Twilight thought for a moment. "Hm... how about some hay fries to go with it? Not too many, though, I can't risk looking like a slob again." She recalled her gorging on food at the Hayburger in Ponyville, and the humiliation she faced later. Never again.
"Alright. Do you want anything else?"
"A soda. Or apple cider, if you guys have any left over from last year's cider season. I haven't had any in a month or two," she replied. Her human friend wrote it down dutifully.
"Alright. Do you want anything else?"
"No, that should be it."
"Alright. Do you want anything else?"
Twilight facehooved. "Clearly you didn't hear me, but fine. put it on a plate, and either bring it back here or have a maid do it. You did get my order correct, right?" Nick nodded. Still, Twilight felt the need to double-check. "A medium rare hayburger with lettuce, tomato, and daisies, a few hay fries, and a soda or a cider?" Another nod. "Good, then that's my order."
"Alright. Do you want anything else?"
Her eye twitched. "Nick... I said that was my entire order. Done. Stop asking and go put it in with the chefs so they can cook it!" Twilight stomped the ground, frustrated. Just what was going on today?
"Alright. Do you want anything else?"
"I'd like it if you could say something else for once, Nick."
"Got it. Was there anything else you wanted?"
"That's not what I meant, Nick!" Twilight all but screamed.
"Alright. Do you want anything else?"
"I refuse to play your annoying human world mind games today!"
"Alright. Do you want anything else?"
"ARGH!" The young princess felt some of her sanity slip away from this conversation. "No,Nick! Nothing else! Now go and put the order in before I lose my temper! And if you say 'Alright. Do you want anything else?' again, I will personally drag you over here, lift you up by your foot, ant throw you out the window into the moat!" She glared at Nick, not happy with his current repetitiveness. All she could hope was that she got her point across.
"Alrihgt, alright..." Nick raised his hands in defeat before moving towards the door, ready to leave and take the order. But just as he was walking out the door, he turned, and added, "...Do you want anything else?"
"NICK!"
Celestia and Luna returned a little while later. Coming back from their meeting, they noticed that Twilight seemed a little frazzled.
"Are you alright, Twilight?" Celestia asked. "You seem a little... annoyed."
Twilight seemed to share off her frazzled state to calm her old mentor. "No, no, I'm fine. How was your meeting?"
"Oh, it was good," Celestia replied. "Luna and I managed to find and fix several errors in the tax code for land Grant's, placated a few nobles, and happened to notice a human fall into the moat. You wouldn't happen to have anything to do with that, would you?"
Twilight laughed nervously. "Of course not! He must have pulled a prank on a guard captain or something. Now where were we? I think I was telling you about the current classes at the school of friendship."
"Very well. But couldn't thou give us a moment to acquire some food, Twilight? We are famished," Luna inquired.
"I'll let the chefs know. What do you two want?" Asked Celestia.
"Something with lots of flowers," Luna responded.
"Just a daisy sandwich for me, I had food earlier," Twilight added.
And then Celestia turned to them and smiled. "Alright. Do you want anything else?"
Celestia had no clue what hit her as Twilight flung her out the window and into the moat below. "Hey, Celly. Twi get you too?"
