The Rainbooms sat together for lunch, as they always did. However, today, something was...off.

Sunset sat tapping a beat on the table with the fingers of one hand over and over again and humming to herself. Every so often, she'd belt out part of whatever she was humming. For several minutes, conversation at the table was virtually impossible over Sunset's endless litany of:

ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap "HUM, hum hum hum hum hum HUM, hum hum hum hum hum HUM, hum hum hum hum SOUL ON FIRE..."

"So, you guys wanna have a slumber party this weekend?" Rainbow asked. "We haven't had one at my place yet..."

ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap "HUM, hum hum hum hum hum HUM, hum hum hum hum hum HUM, hum hum hum hum SOUL ON FIRE..."

"Sure, that sounds like fun," Pinkie said.

ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap "HUM, hum hum hum hum hum HUM, hum hum hum hum hum HUM, hum hum hum hum SOUL ON FIRE..."

"I can bring the snacks, if you want," Fluttershy said.

ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap "HUM, hum hum hum hum hum HUM, hum hum hum hum hum HUM, hum hum hum hum SOUL ON FIRE..."

"Ah'll bring some apple cider..."

ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap "HUM, hum hum hum hum hum HUM, hum hum hum hum hum HUM, hum hum hum hum SOUL ON FIRE..."

"And I..." Rarity paused. She stared at Sunset.

ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap "HUM, hum hum hum hum hum HUM, hum hum hum hum hum HUM, hum hum hum hum SOUL ON FIRE..."

"Excuse me...Sunset Shimmer, darling..."

ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap "HUM, hum hum hum hum hum HUM, hum hum hum hum hum HUM, hum hum hum hum SOUL ON FIRE..."

"Sunset? Yoo-hoo, Shimmy-butt!" Rainbow said.

ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap "HUM, hum hum hum hum hum HUM, hum hum hum hum hum HUM, hum hum hum hum SOUL ON FIRE..."

"Umm, Sunset Shimmer? That's...starting to get very annoying..." Fluttershy said.

ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap "HUM, hum hum hum hum hum HUM, hum hum hum hum hum HUM, hum hum hum hum SOUL ON FIRE..."

"If you don't cut that out, you're liable to BE on fire," Applejack said.

ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap "HUM, hum hum hum hum hum HUM, hum hum hum hum hum HUM, hum hum hum hum SOUL ON FIRE..."

Pinkie groaned, grabbed Sunset Shimmer's face, and yelled "KNOCK IT OFF!" Half the cafeteria stared at her.

Sunset blinked and looked around. "Huh?"

Rarity coughed. "Ahem. You seem...rather preoccupied, darling," she said.

"Oh...sorry," Sunset said. "I've just...kinda got this song stuck in my head..."

"WE NOTICED," the entire cafeteria said.

Sunset blushed furiously and ducked low in her seat.

After a long, awkward silence, Rarity shook her head. "So anyway, about the slumber pa—"

ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap ta-ta-tap "HUM, hum hum hum hum hum HUM, hum hum hum hum hum HUM, hum hum hum hum SOUL ON FIRE..."

"OH, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE!"
