"What's shaking Flutters?" She glanced toward the sound and saw her brother, wearing a pair of boxers and a very familar shirt. "Zephyr, is that my spaghitti string top?" He looked at it, "Huh, guess it is.  Sorry, and hey, thanks for letting me crash here through this." She sighed, "It's fine.  I'm glad that you're not sick.  Have you talked to Mom and Dad in the last couple of days?" He shrugged, "Nope, sorry.  I've been talking to my boss,” he replied, “He said that the store isn’t going to be opening any time soon.” Fluttershy sighed, “I suppose that makes sense,” she studied him, “Zephyr, since you’re staying here why don’t you get dressed?  I mean really dressed.” He shrugged, “Naw, it’s all good sis,” he smiled, “It’s kinda like having a bunch of days off!” She rolled her eyes, “I suppose,” she looked around, “Not that I mind you being here, but why aren’t you staying with your girlfriend?” He laughed, “Yeah, about that,” he grinned, “You know Lighting got kinda mad at me.  I mean it wasn’t even my fault, but she got really upset, and I had to take a hard pass on that.” Fluttershy groaned, “What did you do?” He looked at her, “Sis, I didn’t do anything.  Well…  Maybe not anything.  Okay, so we were doing something, using the backstage, you know, and then I might sort of maybe called her Rainbows.” The facepalm was epic, “Seriously?”
