"Which Daring Do book is that?" "It's not a Daring Do book. Sheesh, Twilight, I do have interests besides Daring Do," Rainbow Dash replies. "Could've fooled me," Twilight says with a snarky grin. Rainbow gives her an unamused scowl. "So, what is it?" "It's called 'Exploding Blue Stars' and I can't believe how much it happens!" Rainbow says, burying her face in between the pages, as if being closer to the words will make her read them harder. "I... seriously doubt you are that into astronomy," the alicorn says, resigned to the inevitable. The book title would not really be what she thought she heard. "So, what is it about?" "Well, you're right, because that science-y word you said sounds boring. This is about famous ponies whose fame made them all sad and depressed and stuff, and then they had a total meltdown! Yelling, throwing things, eating grass clippings. It's totally crazy!" Rainbow says with a laugh. "Okay, let's just get this over with. Let me see the cover," Twilight deadpans. "Ugh. I already told you the title. Whatever," Rainbow says and shows her friend the cover. "See?" "But that doesn't make any sense! What does that have to do with... oh... wait," Twilight says and rereads the title. "Exploding Blue Stars."
