"….and nachos." Cadance said helping to check off Twilight's pre-movie checklist.
"Nachos?" Twilight said in a confused tone, "Didn't we agree on popcorn for movie night?"
Cadance nodded, "We did. Until the last Kernel incident when it was all but royally decreed that you would never approach popcorn kernels unsupervised."
"Not my fault!" as Twilight denied the accusation, "How would I have known that the Royal Observatory would be packed with popcorn kernels!"
"Didn't you use to live between there and the Royal Library?" Cadance asked.
"Still not my fault! One of the newest hires enjoys popcorn so much he stashed popcorn making supplies wherever he could in the Royal Observatory." Twilight grumbled.
"Yet somehow the popcorn from your "micro" microwave that you were testing turned the kernel and toppings into animated popcorn golems?" Cadance asked.
Twilight shook her head. "I still don't know how that happened or what happened with the kernels that didn't become popcorn golems…."
"So then nachos are the better and safer option. Much safer…. and about the only thing I can make safely." Cadance added reminding Twilight quickly of her own difficulties with cooking.
Twilight shuddered as she remembered some of the disasters from Cadance's attempts; which then reminded her of her own attempts which often involved animated food as part of the aftermath.
"Okay" Twilight said as she agreed to the changed snack, "Almost everything you make tends to result in being inedible and almost everything I make tends to come to life. Right, so nachos are good" as she checked off snacks after making a quick amendment to her checklist.
She then felt something soft on her head, lifting it off with her magic she saw a sombrero. Twilight just turned and stared at Cadance. "This again?" waving the hat in front of her.
"What? This was what we always did when we had nachos or any kind of Mareixcan food. Besides you're adorable with a sombrero on your head."
Twilight sighed, "It worked when I was five. Not now."
Cadance pouted, "Please?"
"No." was the quick reply.
Cadance brought Twilight close for a hug, "Okay, no sombreros. Still you looked cute in one. But let's just start the movie" as the pony she was wrapped around just grumbled in agreement.
