"What are you reading there, Fluttershy?" Twilight asks her buttery yellow friend.
Fluttershy answers, making the alicorn do a double take.
"You're reading about summoning eldritch horrors? I gotta say, I didn't expect you to be into that sort of thing," Twilight says, hiding her excitement.
"Oh my, no. It's a story about a pony who broke out of jail and drowned in a river," the pegasus says with a smile.
"Really? That's... even more surprising. In a few ways, actually. That's not a bit too dark for your tastes?" Twilight asks with a tilt of her head.
"Oh, that's not why I'm reading it. It has a really interesting bit about the life cycle of a rare kind of fish. They lay eggs in the bodies of dead animals - or ponies in this case - and the eggs eat it from the inside out. When they found his body, his neck was full of them. Isn't nature just fascinating?" Fluttershy asks with a warm smile. Twilight's expression and mood both sour.
"Wait, but what does that have to do with-" Twilight begins, then changes her mind and rewords her question. "Can I see the book title?"
"Sure!" Fluttershy says, turning it toward Twilight, who reads it aloud.
"Neck Roe Nom A Con."

For anyone that did not understand:
> "Neck Roe Nom A Con."
Neck Roe is a type of fish, in this case, a fish that lays eggs in the neck of another dead creature.
"con" in this case is a convict.
So, "Neck Roe Nom A Con." means that some Neck Roe (remember, "fish" is both singular and plural) have "nom"'d -- eaten -- a convict.
And, if this is the quality of the puns in this series, Sesame-street-vampire me in.
