The sun was rising on a most pleasant morning in Ponyville. Rarity was still peacefully sleeping while Sweetie Belle and Opal were both awake. Like every morning, both of them were hungry and like every other morning, Opal was going to make sure she got fed. She headed into Rarity's room and jumped up on her bed. She pounced on Rarity, sank her claws in her and began to bite her. This quickly woke up Rarity and she was shouting, "Naughty Opal, naughty! Get off of mama!"
Opal would not do as Rarity wished though and soon Sweetie Belle ran into her bedroom. She saw Rarity struggling trying to get Opal off of her so she levitated Opal off of her sister. Rarity said, "Thank you Sweetie Belle." She glared at both of them and asked, "Let me guess, you two want something to eat?"
Sweetie Belle replied, "Well of course! I think some eggs, toast and bacon sound really good!"
Rarity glared at Opal and asked, "And I'm taking it you want a can of wet food?"
Opal growled and hissed at Rarity, which pretty much means that she wants something more than that but Rarity didn't have anything fancier to give her. After breakfast Sweetie Belle joined her friends in their clubhouse before they headed to the library for Twilight Time. Sweetie Belle asked, "Hey, do you two ever wonder what is going through the animals' minds?"
Apple Bloom replied, "Ah never really thought about it? Why are y'all asking?"
Sweetie Belle began to giggle a bit and said, "I really wonder what is going through Opal's mind because she attacked Rarity this morning more aggressively than normal."
Scootaloo asked, "What did she do?"
Sweetie Belle continued to laugh, "Well she bit and clawed my sister in the face demanding she be fed! This time she drew blood and left scars!"
The other two began to laugh as well just imaging Rarity getting attacked by Opal. Sweetie Belle had an idea. She asked, "Hey you two don't think that there might be some sort of spell in the library we could use on the animals to make them talk do you?"
Scootaloo replied, "Sweetie Belle, even if there were how would we get a hold of it without Twilight noticing it? I doubt she would just let you go around casting spells on the animals, or anything else for that matter."
While the girls were continuing to talk about wondering what the animals are really thinking Rarity shows up late to join her friends for a snack at Sugarcube Corner. As soon as she walked in Rainbow immediately started laughing. She laughed, "What happened Rarity, did Opal wake you up this morning?"
Rarity growled, "Yes Rainbow, she did. She always pounces on me to wake me up but this morning she decided to attack me instead. "
Twilight asked, "What is up with her Rarity? This is the first time I've ever seen you clawed up like this."
Rarity sighed, "Well I am thinking that she is getting upset that all I give her is wet cat food. I am beginning to wonder if she doesn't want something more elegant, something that I just can't get easily."
Fluttershy asked, "Do you think she might want fresh fish? That might make her happy enough that she won't attack you."
Rarity shouted, "AND WHERE AM I SUPPOSED TO GET FRESH FISH? It isn't sold here in Ponyville and I'm not going to go fishing in the river, it isn't very ladylike."
Applejack sighed, "Oh yes, you just can't go getting dirty now can you?"
Rarity just grunted and soon the time had come for Twilight to get going. She said, "I'm sorry everypony but the girls are coming over for Twilight Time today so I need to get going."
Rainbow replied, "You have fun Twi. Hopefully you can help them get closer to getting their cutie marks."
Twilight left and headed towards the library. Very shortly after that the Cutie Mark Crusaders left their clubhouse and headed towards the library. While Sweetie Belle was hoping that she could somehow find a spell to make the animals talk without Twilight knowing it, her friends knew that would be pretty much impossible.
