"Uh, Maud? Isn't Pinkie bothering you?" asked Starlight.

"Yeah! Am I?" Pinkie asked as well.

"Nah." Maud replied.

"Huh? How come? Nopony in Ponyville can!"

"Hey!" Pinkie cut her, upset.

"What?" Starlight replied.

"I'm used to. She was way more annoying when she was young. She calmed down over the years." the stoic pony replied in her usual neutral tone.

"Huh? No, I didn't!" Pinkie replied back.

"Thanks Celestia she did." Starlight said in a breath.

"Starlight! That is no nice!"

"You know... I heard you used a spell on her to control her." Starlight was mortified.

"Uh....". Starlight felt too guilty to say anything.

"That's okay. I'm not blaming you." Pinkie was shocked by her words and gasped.

"How can say that Maud? You are joking, right? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight?" Pinkie asked her.

"Am I?" simple replied Maud.

Both stared at her, silent. Suddenly, Pinkie got off Maud's back.

"See? It worked." Maud told her friend. "With no magic."

Starlight snickered wile they walked away from the pink pony.



Lovely work
