Fluttershy discovers Tribbles."

Twilight Sparkle sighed. "So Fluttershy found another cute cuddly creatures in the woods and brought it back to her sanctuary. In spite of her once lecturing Applejack that removing a single specimen of a species from an enviroment could completely destroy an ecosystem."

"I'm pretty sure her mother told her that just she'd stop bringing home pets," Rainbow Dash said.

"And they were in fact an alien invasive species that breed with an average litter of ten and seem to be born pregnant and will reproduce as long as there is food. And Fluttershy does what she always does-"

"She protected them from Harry the bear, and the other predators who live in their sanctuary she's been forcing to eat veggies and we've had to rescue or sneak meat in when she's not looking," Spike said.

"We have to sweeting. Remember the mental break down she had when my house was infested with phoenixes and you called in Smolder and other young dragons for the 'natural solution?'"

"Hey, why didn't the Parspites Pinkie Pie led back to the Everfree completely consume the Everfree Forest? That was always confusing."

"SHUSH! Dashie! We're not supposed to think about that!"

"There are countless natural predators that keep their numbers down, like the Ursa," Twilight said.

"Oh."

"And the aliens who had been illegally transporting the little fluffy things, called 'Tribbles' showed up. And said we could have a trouble predator, a 'Glommer', 'for free' as long as we didn't report to the authorities he'd been illegally transporting them. ... And that's when you came to me to ask Princess Luna to make sure Fluttershy slept in. Asked Angel to take care of her morning chores. Unleashed the Glommer on the Tribble. And Discord teleported the rolly-polly Glommer back to its home world. And lied to Fluttershy that the Tribbles were taken back to their home planet."

"And that's why we didn't tell Applejack about any of this," Spike said.

"And when Applejack DID find out, you panicked and used one of the illegal memory charm spells I most definitely don't keep in my castle for research."

"She just thinks she slept in a day with the flu, it's not like anything important happened," Rainbow Dash said.

Caramel sat sadly with his bundle of flowers where Applejack promised to meet them for their first date.
