“I have three hundred colors, girls!” Pinkie bounced up and down excitedly.

“Meh. Crayons are boring,” said Scootaloo.

“Hey! I like crayons.” That was Sweetie Belle. Apple Bloom just shrugged.

“We’re not just going to color with them!” Pinkie was still bouncing, holding the box and somehow still talking at full, excited volume all the same.

“What else can ya’ do with crayons?” said Apple Bloom. “Ain’t they for coloring?”

“They’re also for cutting into little pieces, and melting between wax paper. I’ll show you! It’s sooooooooooo cool!”

It turned out that, in fact, melting crayons was not cool, but hot.

They didn’t quite set Sugarcube Corner on fire, but it did take Sweetie Belle three days to get all the colored wax out of her mane.
