Rainbow Dash stared into the crackling flames of Twilight's fireplace, shivering beneath a pile of blankets, and groaned impatiently. "Come on Twilight, how long are you gonna keep me in here? I said I wouldn't do it again."

"Rainbow, you're staying in here until the storm stops. Honestly, you're the weather manager, you should know your own schedule by now," said Twilight, walking in from the kitchen, two daisy sandwiches floating beside her.

Rainbow pulled the blankets more tightly around herself and grumbled something about eggheads.

Twilight continued, oblivious to Rainbow's annoyance, "Besides, whose idea was it to have a swim in the middle of Winter?"

"Hey, Applejack did it too. She challenged me to a race," said Rainbow defensively.

Twilight rolled her eyes and set down one of the sandwiches next to Rainbow beforelying herself down nest to her. "Yes, and I'm sure Apple Bloom is taking great care of her trying to get her nursing cutie mark. I could have left you with them instead."

Rainbow grimaced and grudgingly took the food in her hooves and took a bite out of it. "Still cold," she grumbled, her mouth filled with half chewed food.

Twilight sighed and stood up again, throwing more wood into the fireplace with her magic as she walked over to Rainbow. She stopped next to her and lifted the blankets up slightly.

Rainbow shivered again at the sudden drop rush of cold air. As she turned to look at Twilight, she suddenly felt something—or someone—warm and soft pressing against her side. "Twilight, what're you doing?"

"You said you were cold, and I don't have any more blankets," she mumbled.

Rainbow grinned and opened her mouth, about to say something. Before she could start, however, Twilight cut her off. "Rainbow, if you make a joke right now, I will throw you into the fire. I'm just trying to keep you warm, that's it."

"Well you're no fun," she groused, putting on a playful pout.

"Just... Try to warm up, and we don't have to talk about this." She pinned her ears down on her head. "At least don't tell Rarity, she'll get completely the wrong idea."

Rainbow Dash snorted, and looked back towards the fire. "Fine. I'll be all warm and dry pretty soon anyway."

Twilight didn't answer,  she just lay her head down on her hooves and stared into the dancing flames
