“Twilight, I do not understand the purpose of this periodical.” Luna looked up from her reading as she called out to her companion. They were both staying in a spacious flat in a newly constructed area of Canterlot that commanded a view almost as awe worthy as the one from her personal chambers at the castle. Truth be told, it was too large for just two of them and Luna found herself frequently having to go in search of her friend. Luna sighed after a moment of silence and folded the paper up under one wing and headed toward the other side of the house.
“Twilight? I have discovered another modern puzzle.” Luna poked her head into the kitchen and then headed toward the side office. “I have just an article with accompanying images of the both of us. It purports to recollect a…a…” Luna paused and opened the paper again. “A ‘romantic getaway for two’ that I do not recall us actually taking.”
“What?” Twilight’s voice floated down from the second floor walkway. The unicorn looked over the railing and down at Luna. “What are you talking about Luna?”
“This!” Luna sat back on her haunches and tapped the article with one hoof. “There are pictures from our grocery shopping trip the previous week. The editors of this publication have placed text upon the images in a very odd manner and I cannot tell if it is to be description or dialogue. I cannot recall ever saying any of these things.” Luna squinted at one grainy picture. “And their spelling is atrocious!”
Luna felt Twilight’s magic tip back the front page of the newspaper.
“What are you reading?” Twilight gasped. “The Canterlot Questioner?! Luna! That’s a cheap tabloid, they don’t report real news. They make up sensational garbage about celebrities like Vinyl Scratch and fictional societal issues. If we’re in there, then they must be trying to drum up drama to sell more copies!”
Twilight groaned and facehoofed. “The pictures are done with text in what is known as a ‘meme-style’—which is totally inaccurate--by the way. It’s popular with the younger ponies these days. It is meant to comedic, but it’s usually just childish.”
Luna raised an eyebrow. “’Meme?’ I am unfamiliar with this word.”
“It’s a fairly new word in Common Equestian. It has multiple meanings. The meaning popularly ascribed to it is only vaguely related to its Oxenford Dictionary definition. Several terms have mutated like that in recent times.”
Luna grinned as she wiggled in place. “Can you give me a lesson on them Twilight?”
Twilight Sparkle smirked and shook her head. “Sure, but only if you wear that cute hoodie I like.”
“Only if you wear those ‘socks’ I so adore on you.”
“Goddess, you’re insatiable, you know that, right?” Twilight chuckled and started walking toward their bedroom. “I am going to teach you so hard tonight.”

Yes! I've been hoping to see this pairing in a collab!
Half the chapters go over 500
WE'VE BEEN LIED TO!

Please don't hurt me, officer!
But seriously, putting them into chapter format from the original posts apparently increased the word counts of each of them.
Also, we weren't too uptight on the limit. If you've seen any other group collabs, you'll see that they have like 1000+ word chapters.
3169248 You're very welome. And to say it now, Medicine was just as good, if not better than Stalker. I enjoy this collab.
Oh, and I've also added this story to The Collab Cage (if you hadn't noticed the notification yet).

Huh. I didn't even know there was a collab group. Awesome!
3169308 I think it's a better Twilight than most, if I'm being honest. Not many construct her as a mature character, thinking to take the usual awkard, easily excitable route instead. The playfulness here is fun to see, as well as a refreshing change when compared to the others.
My two cents.

Also, thanks for the follow! If you're looking for TwiLuna, I've already done a one-shot, and I have another one on the way.
Sweet! You posted the collab! Thanks PP
