Rainbow, Harry, and me (Random Author's Note: I'm aware that because in this case I am the subject, not the predicate, of the sentence and the correct term would be 'Rainbow, Harry, and I" instead. Just putting that out there in case a Twilight Equivalent Grammar Nazi wants to correct me) put up the groceries while Pinkie and Spike went to watch the TV. Zombot-Mama slipped into the mudroom (Random Author's Note II: The mudroom is a kind of foyer area where you come in and take off all of your dirty clothes. For example, and this happens surprisingly often, you are walking on the muddy banks of a pond and you sink in. You'd come in the mudroom and take off your pants), pro'b'ly jus' takin' a load of laundry out. I didn't like these new grandparents. After unloading I went to see Twilight.

"Is it possible to change them back to the way they w're?" I asked. She was on the computer. She looked... Well, she looked pretty pissed.

"Who?" she asked impatiently. Damn, she was pissed!

"My grandparents. Man, you look angry. Wha's 'a matter?" I asked nonchalantly

"As if you don't know" she huffed. She was really being a woman. Maybe she was already accustomed to the vague anger of human females?

"I really don't..." I ventured. If she was any other woman, I'd've been slapped to the ground by now. Luckily she didn't know to do that.

"You called me a Nazi!" she gestured to the screen. It showed Hitler and Von Raven-something. Forget his name, but he was recognizable! There was apparently a whole story on it. And that wasn't even the only tab.

"No, I called you a Grammar Nazi. There's a difference" I went on to explain. "A Grammar Nazi corrects people's grammar and is really strict and down-putting 'bout it. I'd never call anyone a Nazi. To be truthful I think Germany is awesome and Hitler's just given it a bad name. Why, I have friend from Germany who says he thought his country was hate--"

"I really don't care. Just, I'm sorry for freaking out on you like that"

"Thank Nica Lorber you aren't any other woman, I'd be beaten and bloody by now!" I said, relieved

"What's a woman? Why would one have beaten you up? And who's Nica Lorber?" she asked

"Well, a woman is a grown human female, a man a grown human man, a boy a male child, a girl a female child. Basicly woman means mare. Man would mean stallion, boy: colt, girl: filly. Men aren't supposed to talk back to women. They get slapped if they do that. And lastly, Nica Lorber is a voice for a cartoo. Called Happy Tree Friends. She plays my favorite character, Flaky" I explained. Warning: if you have a weak stomach or just plain dissaprove of violence, or are anywhere in-between, Happy Tree Friends is not for you. It contains disturbing images, blood, gore, extreme violence, et al. (i.e. Cuddles falls into the closing elevator doors, gets cut in half, and then the elevator strethes out his intestines)

"Ah. Well, I'm not like that, so I forgive you" she said in monotone. Then I realized she was typing and reading English!

"How do you know what you're typing? How're ya even reading?"

"Well between what I learned off you at Derpy's and what Harry taught me, I have a good understanding of the language, and I figured out this thing is like a typewriter. Press a letter here--" she typed an e and gestured to the screen "--and it comes out here!" she explained

"Same basic technology, yes. I guess when/if you go back, only unicorns and Spike will be able to write it, eh?" I said

"How do you say?"

"Well, seeing as it's virtually impossible to write that with your mouth, only those who don't have to use their mouth could"

"I suppose you're correct"

"Hey, now th't Spike ain't 'round, I'd like to explain R34 if you don't mind it none" my voice dropped to a whisper. "I trust Price shared the anatomy of a human?"

"Yes. Rainbow nor Pinkie made it even halfway through, Rarity and Fluttershy excused themselves around the middle, and AJ left during my favorite part, the reproductive system. I just find it fascinating that by simply--" I cut her off right there. Wasn't goin'a listen to that.

"Yes, yes, it has to do with that. Could you keep it down? Anyway, so he taught you about the..." I made a hole with my hands and ran my finger into and out of it a few times. "...right?"

"Yes" she nodded

"And so you know, you know that is considered very inappropriate? Well, R34 is, well, as Price or Gabriel would say, 'Pony on Pony'" Gabriel was a very vulgar dude. He made vulgar comments, That's What She Said jokes, masturbation and sex jokes, and often pretended (or at least I hope he was pretending) to jack off under his desk. Funny guy. (Random Author's Note: The character Gabriel is based an actual fiend of mine, Gaibe. His name is seriously Gaibe, it's not short for Gabriel. Hince I named his character that. He was cool with it)

"Don't tell me you mean..." she began

"Yep. The most popular ones are Big Mac with Rarity and Rainbow with..." I trailed off. How would she take this? "...Well, this may get a bit lesbian. Don't get me wrong, lesbians are cool, I know some (Random Author's Note: I actually do. FYI, these are going to be called RANs from now on) and they are really good friends of mine (RAN: Only one of them is actually my friend), don't get me wrong. It's just, I don't think Rainbow's one"

"Get on with it. She's not, by the by"

"Rainbow and..." I gulped "Rainbow and you." Unexpectedly, her expression stayed at one of intrest and learning. She made a rolling motion with her hand.

"How do you know this?"

"Well, sometimes when I go to look for funny pony pictures or wallpapers, I forget to turn off the filter. And also... I may or about missing his 'poop styling’s' in Ponyville. I later figured out you meant YouTube Poop. How do you know?"

"Well, one of his signature things is hiding typed messages around his videos. In the poop 'Discord Gets Off to Ponies' one of those messages read: 'I clop to ponies. U mad?'. Of course, whatever he's going to do. He's not me" I explained (RAN: It's true he does and that text blurb is in that video. It's during Sweetie Belle's song, on the moon. But watch out. There's a scary still frame picture on one of the parts with Fluttershy in the picture. Search for it only if you want nightmares)

"Okay. You run along then" she made a shooing motion with her hand. I decided it was dinner time. Tofu Bacon was on the menu. I flipped around.

"Oh, wait, Twilight. You never answered my question"

"Oh? And what was that?"

"Can you give my grandparents thier personalities back? Without them realizing they don't know who you are? Like, make it so they act like they know you and you're regular farmhands?" I asked. She thought a moment

"Yes. But give me time" she decided.
