“Mom?” Twilight asked as she walked into the living room. She’d grown a lot in the last three years since she’d hit her growth spurt. But most noticeable of it were her new glasses. They were only temporary though and with them her eyes should correct themselves within the year. She’d gone from a young girl to an awkward, lanky teen… the miracles of puberty. “I need to take a week off of school. Is that alright with you?”

Velvet, Twilight’s mother, was taken aback by the question. Twilight loved school so to ask to take a week off, it must’ve been a serious issue. “What’s wrong Sweetie, why don’t you want to go?” True, she had enjoyed her time at Crystal Prep less since Cadence and her brother had graduated, Cadence going off to college and Shining enlisting in the army, but she never seemed to dislike it at all.

“It’s not that I don't want to, but I’ve been working on a plan to prank Shining and I...”

“Wasn’t it you who yelled at the three of them to stop pulling pranks when you, Cadence and Chrysalis tried to prank Shining but got pranked in turn when Chrysalis faked her death and made you think Shining Armour murdered her, in revenge for when you three tried to prank him the year before that but Chrysalis told him about it and he turned it back on you but left her in a room with you and Cadence afterwards and you taped her to a flagpole leading to her abduction by that weird fluffy pink girl who gasped alot?”

“That was a really long run on sentence. And slightly confusing from a chronological sense.” Twilight replied. “But yes, that about covers the history of our pranks. Although it was a phone pole, not a flagpole and the girl's named Fluffle Puff. They're friends now so it all worked out.” she clarified which only got her a disapproving glare from Velvet. “Heheh… see… so far Shining hasn’t been pranked. So if I do this it’ll make us completely even. Plus I told them to stop pulling pranks. I never mentioned myself.”

It was the logic of a teenager alright. But Velvet couldn’t say she’d never done anything similar at her daughter’s age. “Alright, fill me in on the details first though at least.”

“Good, I was going to need your help too. And probably dad’s. I’m, going to fake my own kidnapping!”
