>>31998059>The purple unicorn suddenly exclaimed. “That was fascinating! I didn’t realize you could do that just from preening!”
>She enthusiastically observed.>Applejack tilted her hat back. “Eeyup”
>She grinned. “Like Ah said, though, it ain’t exactly ‘preening.’ And like Ah also said, Ah know what Ah’m doin’.”
>Her voice was dripping with smug pride.“Yeah…”
>Dash mumbled in a weak, dreamy manner, not even bothering to open her eyes.“She knows what she’s doing… Really, really knows…”
“Indeed she does!”
>Twilight nodded. “Wow. I mean, wow. I wish I could get a few more notes and observations, though. You know, to compare examples and scenarios and whatnot. But I guess this will have to do, since you two seem to be done. Unless of course you’re up for another round in the name of science…”
>She stated with a cheerful smile and a dismissive wave of her hoof, trying to sound playful instead of suspicious. “But, like I said, it looks like you’re done, so I guess this will have to do. Oh well!”
>Applejack raised a curious eyebrow. “Well now, Ah dunno about that. Ah mean, Ah don’t mind doin’ a Round Two. Especially if it helps with yer note takin’ an’ observin’ an’ stuff.”
>Dash’s eyes shot open. “Wait, Round Two? Huh? What’s going on?”
“Oh yes, it would help me a lot,”
>Twilight grinned, before hastily adding: “Scientifically. It would help me scientifically. With science.”
>Applejack shot her a knowing look. “Fer science. Right. Well, if it’ll help ya with yer ‘research,’ we can do a Round Two.”
“Time out!”
>Dash weakly fluttered her wings. “What’s this about a Round Two? Should I be excited or scared?”
>Applejack sat back down on Dash’s lower back, taking a moment to slowly grind herself against the pegasus and savor the sensation, before she leaned forward to nibble on Dash’s ears again.
