Chaotic Control

Rainbow Dash trotted around the throne room of the Trebary in bored agitation, eventually coming to rest on the throne itself.

She didn’t quite understand as to why this chair was any more special than every other chair out there, nor did she really care. She just wanted a place to sit.

Twilight entered the room, carrying several books within her magical grasp. Upon seeing Rainbow lounging out on the throne, she couldn’t help but to feel a slight anger overtake her.

“RAINBOW DASH!” Twilight yelled, startling the blue pegasus into the air, only to land on the floor with a loud thud a moment later.

“I didn’t do it, I swear!” cried Rainbow in a defensive pose, before noticing that it was Twilight who had spoken to her. “Oh, uh. Twi. Heh, sorry about that. I didn’t see you there. So, what’s up?”

Twilight, still carrying the books with her levitational field, was about to lecture her friend, when she noticed something quite odd. Rainbow seemed to be unusually agitated by something.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you-” Twilight began, only to get interrupted.

“Scare? Pfft, as if a bookworm like you could scare me!” Rainbow boasted, though Twilight could tell that something was troubling her.
