"...and she thinks she knows so much about the fandom! I don't even know that much - seriously, go do some research!"
Fluttershy nodded and took another cracker. "I love her and all, but she can be sort of overwhelming at times. And sometimes it's hard to follow what she's sayi- Oh my Celestia!" She leapt off the picnic blanket, eyes glued to the sky.
"What? What happened?" Twilight looked in the direction her friend was staring so intently in. Nothing was blocking the view of the sunny blue sky, except for a group of birds just a few feet away from them.
"A bird just relieved itself and I'm not sure where it landed! On normal circumstances this would be perfectly fine, but right now I was not expecting it!" After one last scan of the blanket, she found nothing suspicious on it and sat down again.
Twilight shrugged, levitating a cracker into the air. She raised it to her mouth and let out a shriek, the cracker falling to the ground.
"Are you alright?"
She cleared her throat and muttered, "Fluttershy, I think I found where the bird scat landed."
"In the-"
"In the crackers." The alicorn sighed and stood up as she picked up the plate of crackers. "Shall we head back home to wash this plate off?"
"Definitely."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I still can't believe that just happened," Twilight said, opening the door to the castle. She walked to the kitchen with Fluttershy trailing behind.
"Are you sure you didn't eat the crackers after the whole...incident?"
"Yes! Yes, I'm sure." She couldn't help but begin to giggle as she thought about the whole thing. "That was pretty strange..."
"Yep, it's never leaving my memory. Never knew you could shriek like that, either!" she chuckled.
Twi turned on the faucet and held the plate underneath the running water, squirting a small mound of soap onto it. "Please don't bring that up ever again. Like the 'Forget About All That act' from that cartoon Spike and I watch."
Fluttershy watched her friend rinse the dish and set it on a drying rack. She nodded occasionally, as if to prove she was still listening.
"If anybody asks about the happenevents of the last few d- minutes...hours? Oh, dangit." She reached for a paper towel with clumsy hooves, but it ripped and she ended up rubbing a shred of paper up and down her hoof. "Nice."
The yellow Pegasus seemed a little unsure of what to do with the situation, her face remaining expressionless. The princess continued to fail at drying her forelegs, ending up with a pile of wasted paper the size of a small foal. Then it occurred to her that she had used her telekinesis to wash the plate.
She sighed, stuffing the towels into the trash. "Look, I just- Gugh, my brain is failing. I think I'm just gonna go lay on my bed for a while."
"I'll...I'll just show myself out."
"Y-You go do that."
The two mares went their separate ways, but something told Twilight to stop at the bottom of the stairs.
"Twilight?"
"Mhm?" she replied, turning back to face her friend.
Her mane covered most of her face, making her speech slightly muffled. "We're still on for brunch with Rarity tomorrow right?"
"Of course! We'll call it a...doo-over," she smirked.
"You're kidding me."
"Nope!"
