Legos


"To build or not to build, that is the question," Twilight ranted as she stacked yet another brick on top of her ever growing stack of Legos. "Whether it is nobler of thought or mind to suffer the hardships of proper balance, or to just throw the Legos away in shame...I am truly defeated by this conundrum."

Another lego found its way to the foundations of a wall.

"Try legos, she said! See the world, she said! Yeah right."

Hoof went to lego, lego went to project.

"It's not like she couldn't have known that I'd find this so utterly fascinating or anything."

Yet another lego was placed, this just another brick in the wall.

"Yo, Twilight!" Rainbow Dash shouted as she blasted her way into the crystal treehouse. How she managed to slam through a wall without breaking all of her bones was a mystery that didn't have any answers. "I thought you said you'd meet up with us at Sugarcube Corner!"

"That's today?" Twilight asked idly as she opened another box of legos. "Well I'm sorry then, but I'm a bit preoccupied at the moment. I'll be sure to make it up to you guys soon."

"Um, that was yesterday, actually..."

"Oh."

"Yeah, and it was kinda Pinkie's birthday..."

"Oh."

More bricks found their way into Twilight's ever-growing plastic mess.

"Oh? Just oh?" Rainbow glared. "That was Pinkie's birthday. You know, the insecure party-mare who's entire life and purpose comes from spending time with others? A certain mare that's, like, your best friend? Gods you can be dense!" The irony was sadly lost on the pegasus.

"Well I'm really sorry, but my mentor explicitly asked me to study...this," Twilight stated, gesturing to the monstrosity she called 'Lego Booktopia'. "I'm making a thorough recreation of the Canterlot Archives, and I can't be bothered with parties right now."

Rainbow just stared at her for a moment before kicking one of the spires over. "Oops," she said nonchalantly.

"Why you passive agressive-"

"Yeah, what?!" she stated, quickly closing the distance between the two of them. "You going to cast magic me then? Go on, do it! Turn me into a pile of goo for all I care, you sadistic little bitch!"

Twilight quickly deflated, the sight of her friend's face menacing so close to her own taking the fight out of her.

"You obviously don't care much about your fucking best friend, so I seriously doubt you'd give two shits about what you'd do to me if I got in your way!"

"I-it's not the same-"

"It's totally the same, and you know it! Gah, you're such an insufferable ass!" Rainbow shouted. "If you want to be like that and play with your little foals' toys, feel free!"

"Hey, they're not foal's toys, you brickhead!" Twilight hollered, the insults to her beloved 'entertainment resources' quickly calling out her vindictive side. "I'll have you know that these are some of the most meaningful things I've ever had the pleasure of having spend my company, you...you Mega Blocks fan!"

"Oh, now that's so low, even for you."

"Well what else am I supposed to think? You have no respect for these precious gems!"

"And you have none for your friends!"

"Do too!"

"Do not!"

"Do too!"

"Do not!"

Twilight snarled before pouncing on her accuser. "Shut up!" she shouted, slamming her hoof into Rainbow's face. "Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP!!" she screamed, accentuating each word with another blow.

A pair of hooves found their way under the alicorn's diaphram. Twilight's vision was far too red with fury to realize what was happening before she felt herself fly off of her victim. It was only the matter of a moment before she found herself pinned to the ground by a rather sturdy pegasus.

"Calm the fuck down, Twilight!" Rainbow shouted in her face. Twilight struggled futilely under her for a moment before the rage started to settle. It never even occured to her that she still had magic. Rainbow didn't even notice the blood streaming out of her nose.


It took a few moments for either of them to process what had just happened before Twilight broke down.

"I'm so sorry, Rainbow!" She cried, gripping her friend tightly and letting her tears flow freely into her mane. "I-I don't know what came over me!"

"Shh, it's alright, Twi," RD cooed, hugging her friend tightly. She felt her heart pick up pace a little at the unusual contact her friend was giving her. "I know I've done some pretty stupid stuff too."

"I just hit you though..."

"Yeah, but that doesn't make you a bad pony."


"I don't know."

"Twilight, look at me," Rainbow commanded, putting a hoof under Twilight's chin. "You're a spectacular mare and a delight to be around. I could never hold a grudge against you. It's not everyday that I get to meet somepony as smart, pretty, and talented as you."

"Y-you think I'm pretty?"

"Well duh! You're a total knockout!"

"Really?" Twilight sniffled, wiping a hoof across her nose.

"Hey, you may be a total egghead," Rainbow joked, nuzzling her friend's nose. "But you're a cute egghead."

Twilight stared up into her best friend's red eyes longingly. Rainbow started to see the signs and slowly let her eyelids drop. Their mouths were just getting close when the front door slammed open.

"Twilight!" Spike shouted. "There's a letter from your...oh, um...I'll be back in...a while. Carry on!"

"Well...that killed my boner," Rainbow stated, looking back at her wings.

"Yeah, what a buzzkill. So would you like to meet up next week for another session?"

"You know it! Next time I get to be Daring Do!"

"Again?" Twilight chuckled. "Well then this time I get to be the evil villian rather than the maid."

"Are you sure?"

"I think I've got a Magical Strap-on of Doom just waiting to be discovered."

Rainbow's wings popped back out, her interest suddenly piqued.

"Forget next week, Twi. I'm ready to go!"




Dear Princess Celestia,

Thanks for having me study role-playing. I've been a bit peeved at you lately, but this is great! Rainbow and I've been trying out all kinds of interesting games, and my wings have never felt better.

Your Faithful

Best Regards

Sincerely

You know what? To hell with it! I'm using our old goodbye and you can't stop me!

Your Faithful Student,

Twilight Sparkle
