Twilight steeled herself up. This is it this is it just do it.

With one swift push of her magic and a brighter flow of her horn, she did.

She felt Rarity jolt again and then tense up, letting out a low whine as Twilight gently pushed it in, as quickly as she dared.

Rarity remained frozen in her undignified position, her eyes squeezed shut as she panted quietly against the luxurious carpet.

"Rarity...?" Twilight stared at her friend, her eyes full of concern. "Is... are you... okay?" Rarity opened her mouth as if to reply, but let out a low moan instead. Her eyes shot open and Twilight actually saw a hint of embarrassment there before Rarity closed them again and turned her moan into a dainty cough.

"Fine!" she rasped.

"Oh... okay. Are... do you need... Can I help you up?" Twilight's eyes slid over to where Rarity's hoofs were still grasping her cheeks, noticing the quivering of her flanks for the first time.

"No, no, I'm quite –" Her speech was cut off by a loud pop, and quickly replaced by a hysterical scream as Rarity dropped her hooves from her cheeks and covered her mouth in horror. From her vantage point in the corner of the room, Fluttershy peeked through her wings in time to see the ginger root shoot out of Rarity's backside and smack right into Twilight's forehead. She let out a squeak and immediately hid her eyes again. A second later she heard a quiet splash and felt something cold and wet on her hoof. She peered around her feathers just long enough to see the offending root now floating in her lemonade. Fluttershy stared at the glass, Rarity stared at Twilight, and Twilight... well, Twilight just stared.

"Oh, dear... I... I am SO sorry." Rarity spoke quietly between her hooves, her eyes still wide in horror. Twilight slowly turned to look at her friend, her eyes glazed and unfocused. "Twilight? Twilight, please say something." The purple unicorn was still for a few more seconds before her eyes slowly regained their focus on her friend. Rarity saw a mixture of disgust, rage, and panic in her big purple eyes and flinched involuntarily.

"You..." Twilight started, her voice cracking. "You... YOU HIT ME WITH YOUR BUTT ROOT!"

"Heh..." Rarity laughed nervously, her cheeks turning noticeably pink, "just the price one pays for fashion, dear!"
