Twilight was here for something...

It was kinda silly,
Not the silly from this morning,
Not the silly before noon,
Not the silly with the warning,
Not the silly in my room,
It was just… silly.

My hoof tingled whenever she walked up to the counter.
My thoughts ran wild whenever she told me Rarity talked to her.

What did she talk to you about?
What did she say about the cookie?
How did the cookie taste?
Did it look like her?
Did it look like me?
Did it make sense?
Did she figure it out
How the world around me was being silly
How the world around me felt like it was tearing itself apart at the seams
She didn’t have her sewing kit with her
Or her machine
Tucked in her saddlebags
Neither remained
So what did she tell you?
What
Did
She
Tell
You?!

…

I’m not smiling anymore, am I?

…

Twilight, there’s nothing wrong!
Everything’s okey-dokey-lokey!
I’m just being silly, hehe.
Silly.
Funny.
Quite Silly.
Yeppers.
Nothing’s wrong!
No, no no, waving my hooves in front of you
It's just a game I made, silly!
It’s for us to play!

…

You don't... believe me, do you?
My smile isn’t silly?
My eyes look a bit duller today?
Am I… sad?

…

Twilight, I don’t know what you mean.
I woke up this morning.
My smile was on just right.
Just like the tables, they were clean too.
You see that right? Look at them.
Sparkling in the light,
Sparkling like they don’t care
Sparkling with a smile on their faces,
Rough with wear,
They have been here for years,
Mrs. Cake told me that,
They bought them at a sale,
Imported from a fair,
Ponies like to lie—sell their shares,
Mr. Cake had several,
The corner has them too,
Did you know?
Cake is not the only thing on the agenda.

…

Sorry, I rambled.

All you wanted was the muffins, right?

Let me ring those for you,
They look so great,
Fluffy and all,
Sprinkles on top,
I love them and—

You… want to talk to me instead?

Twilight, were you what my tail was telling me?
