Rainbow Dash somersaulted through the air as she steered towards her usual sunset spot. A day of cloud pushing was done, and she was looking forward to the next part. She spotted her target relaxing under a lone apple tree overlooking Ponyville.
āI heard Twilight pulled another all-night freakout,ā Dash said by way of greeting after she landed and draped herself over Applejackās warm body. āWhat was it this time?ā
Applejack pushed her hat above her eyes and gave Dash a kiss under one ear. āWell, I stopped by fer a book on woodwork initially and we got ta talkinā. One thing led to another and we ended up in a discussion about eggs.ā
āEggs?ā
āYup.ā
Dash shrugged and nuzzled Applejackās neck. āMakes sense for an egghead to think about, I guess. So whyād that freak her out?ā
āYa know how chickens lay eggs?ā
āYeahā
āAnd ya know how eggs hatch into little baby chickens?ā
āYeah, so?ā
āWell, Twilight started thinkinā back to all them chickens that laid all them eggs, all the way back and back in their lineage. And she got herself into some kinda ā whatād she call it ā quandary! Some kinda quandary about whether the first chicken came from an egg, or whether it existed and laid an egg.ā
Dash sat up and leaned back to look at her marefriend with wide eyes. āSeriously? ā¦We need to find that pony a date,ā she added once she resettled.
Applejack grinned, āThatās besides tha point. But think about it fer a sec. Which do you think came first?ā
āWell, the egg, obviously,ā Dash replied without thinking about it for a sec. āChickens are hatched from eggs.ā
āOk, but then what animal laid the egg if it wasnāt another chicken?ā Applejack countered.
That got a pause out of the pegasus. āHuh.ā She furrowed her brows and then squeezed her eyes shut as though fighting off an encroaching headache. āOk, I get it now. But I still think itās ridiculous.ā
āHow come?ā
āāCause thereās like a zillion chickens in Equestria, AJ! They didnāt all come from some first chicken. They wouldnāt have lasted five minutes in the wild if they started with one. Some dragon or griffon or pony would have eaten it within two minutes.ā
āYa donāt know that. Maybe other creatures wouldnāt know what it was. You eat the first thing ya find off the ground?ā
āIf it was an egg, sure. Just look at āem; eggs are delicious! I eat ten every morning for breakfast.ā
Applejack laughed and playfully bumped Dashās side with her hoof. āYa do not!ā
āI do too. Iām like an egg eating champion. I bet I could eat fifty eggs in an hour.ā
āDash, aināt nopony can eat fifty eggs in an hour.ā
Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow. āYeah?ā She spat on one hoof and offered it to Applejack. The earth pony mulled it over for a second, and then returned the gesture with a smirk.
āYer on, sugarcube!ā

And then Twilight thought up evolution.
Also vomitting ensues.
The chicken came from the egg of an chicken-like creature.
2097578 That is the current opinion aye, but remember way back when this was started, they didn't really know of/understand evolution.
Nice work of such a word.
Was that a beauty and beast reference with the ten eggs thing for breakfast?
