Eternity well spent

"Peter, I wool like to say I love you," Frill suddenly said. I paused and looked up from the spell book I was studying. She stood just beside my chair with a warm smile.

"Huh?" I huffed. She recoiled and frowned.

"You must not have herd me," she hummed, smiling again. "I-"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa," I closed my book and pointed at her. "You- You just did it again." She furrowed her brow.

"What are ewe talking about?" I threw my book and leaned in.

"That," I insisted, pointing again. "Why're you doing that?" She recoiled and frowned at me.

"No need to be so ram-bunctious!"

"Did Quilt put you up to this?" I said standing and scanning the library. Frill humphed and averted her eyes.

"Peter, you're making me feel sheepish," she grumbled. I hissed and leaped over her before sprinting down the hall, hunting for Quilt. Along the way, I nearly trampled Graggle.

"Graggle! Frill's acting weird," I huffed. He blinked and scratched his chest.

"Weird how?" He pressed before waving his paw. "Ah, maybe she's just dog tired." My jaw hung loose and I pointed at him before slowly withdrawing and sprinting away. After just a few seconds, I made it to the throne room where I found Quilt talking with Ernie, the former of whom waved.

"There he is," she said. "Nice of you to graze us with your presence." I heaved a breath and clutched the air at her before turning to Ernie.

"Ernie! You're a sensible guy! Do you hear all this?"

"Ernie don't know what you talking about," he retorted, fixing me with a critical leer. "You just crazy cause you undead and pasture expiration date." I ignored the blinding effect of locking onto Celestia and warped to her.

"Hello, Peter," she greeted without looking up from the book she was reading. I sat panting and huffing, scanning the room in a mild panic. "Everything alright?"

"I dunno what's happening in Ramstead," I gasped. "Frill started talking funny, and-"

"Did you try asking her to quit foaling around?" I paused. She set her book down and gave me a reassuring smile. "Oh! Maybe you should say 'whinny to have a discussion about this behavior' if it's causing you so much distress?"

And I was gone.
