Twilight nodded. "I know Spike but please remember that you're still a baby dragon."
"Really, he seems pretty damn mature to me," Dr. Zanasiu said.
"All right let's enjoy the show." Captain Carson helped herself to a basket of sweet potato fries from the buffet table.
Mr. Bigmouth, taking advantage of his herbivorous nature, was munching on some hay fries.
Ms. Swimmer was chatting with Rarity about fashion and other such items.
"This oughta be good. Y'all got some cool moves," Applejack said.
"Shh. It's starting!" Rarity said.
As soon as she spoke, a driving
