Rainbow walked into the library and immediately crinkled her nose in disgust. The entire library was filled with a putrid stench. She make the mistake of breathing in through her nose and instantly gagged as her eyes filled with water. The fumes stabbed at her eyes.

“Uh...Twilight?” she choked out. It hurt to breath let alone speak.

In a blur of purple, Twilight shot through the door leading to the kitchen and slammed it behind her. She braced herself against the door, panting heavily. She looked as if she had just pulled an all-nighter. Hair frayed and bloodshot eyes--most likely from the stench.

“Rainbow! You’re early, I wasn’t expecting you for another hour!” she said between breaths, giving the biggest forced smile she could muster.

“I finished early and--” she cut herself off gagging on the stench that permeated the air. “Twi’, what is that funky smell?”

“Smell? What smell?” She grinned trying to find something for her eyes to settle on other than Rainbow.

“Seriously? It smells like somepony filled one of Fluttershy’s chicken coops with rotten eggs and old cabbage.” She wafted a hoof in front of her in a futile attempt to purge her nose.

“I, uh...I-I…” Sighing, she slid along the door to the floor in defeat. “I was trying to make you dinner, and wanted to surprise you.” She stared at down at her hooves, hoping her bangs covered her shame.

Rainbow chewed at her lower lip. She wanted to laugh. She needed to laugh. However, she knew taking in another breath of the funk that filled the library would most likely cause her to lose her lunch. She also knew that it would hurt Twilight’s feelings. Despite how horrible it turned out, her wanting to make Rainbow dinner was kind of awesome. She forced her eyes shut regaining her composure, allowing herself to take in as deep of a breath as her stomach would allow.

“Tell you what Twi’. We’ll throw out whatever funk is in the kitchen, open all the doors and windows, and then we’ll go out. Hayburger sound good?”

Twilight looked up with a sad smile and nodded.

“As long as I get to pay.”
