“We have to break up.”

“I’m sorry?” Twilight said looking up from her book.

“We have to break up,” Rainbow said again matter-of-factly.

Twilight squinted in confusion. Where was this coming from? As far as she knew the couple were doing great, in fact Twilight couldn’t be 
happier.

“Okay, and where exactly is this coming from?”

Rather than saying something, Rainbow smiled thinly and merely pointed.

Twilight followed to where the hoof pointed just to the right of her to a bowl of almonds. This only raised further questions for Twilight.

“. . . Almonds?”

“Yup.”

“What do almonds have to do with anything?”

“You eat them.”

“And?”

“They’re gross!”

“So? You don’t taste them when I eat them!”

“Yes, Twilight, I do. You shove those disgusting things into your mouth, and then you shove your tongue down my throat. It’s gross!”

Twilight blinked. “So, what, instead of saying ‘Hey, Twilight, could you rinse your mouth out before you kiss me,’ we’re just gonna break up?”

“Or you can do the rinsing thing, I guess,” Rainbow shrugged noncommittally.

Twilight groaned. She honestly wondered how she was always able to put up with this. “Next time just say that.”

Rainbow shrugged, again. “Oh, and I got the mail for you,” she said putting a few envelopes next to the bowl of almonds.

Rolling her eyes, Twilight lifted the first letter from the stack with her magic and began to read it after opening it. It was from her parents . . .

“Hey, Rainbow, you’re free this weekend, right?”

“Pretty sure, what’s up?”

“My parents are coming to town this weekend. It would be a good time for them to officially meet you.”

“. . .”

“. . . Rainbow?”

“We have to break up.”
