Mads Call #3

[itsjustthemads.livejournal.com]

[Not that long after the fire breaks out on the SOL, the Mads decide to give the Satellite a call. Dr. F appears on the screen, looking highly amused.]

Ahhhh, nothing smells quite like Christmas spirit like seeing space nuts roasting on an open fire!

What's the matter, yule log get out of hand? I do hope you try it again soon!

Well yes, especially if you put some marshmallows in the--

NO! I mean YOU! All of you are the roasted nuts! You roasted nut!

[sailorlaughter.livejournal.com]

Well, duh! Who would make hot chocolate without marshmallows? It's like totally the best part!

Aw, thanks! You're a roasted nut, too!

[itsjustthemads.livejournal.com]

Well, mother does, but that's because she's allergic.

That. NNNNNGH!

[sailorlaughter.livejournal.com]

Oh no! I didn't even know you could be allergic to marshmallows! That's TERRIBLE!

Oooh! I know! How about I send you some roasted nuts, and then you can send her some too! I mean, if she can't eat marshmallows then they've got to be at LEAST the third best thing about her winters! Oh, but it'll be a present, too, so maybe the second...

Truuuuust me pinky, you can be allergic to a lot of things.

I would rather just avoid sending any kind of gifts to dear old mother. She has this...habit...of comparing them to Frank's.

[sailorlaughter.livejournal.com]

Well, I've met ponies who were allergic to peanut butter or strawberries or things like that before, but marshmallows? That's just SO SAD!

Oh yeah, I bet Frank's a totally awesome gift giver! But y'know, your gifts probably still mean more, 'cause you're her son! They just gotta come from the heart, and I know she'll absolutely LOVE them!

[Dr. F just sort of stews for awhile.] Yeeeaaaaah. I know she just looooves gifts 'from the heart.' If your heart is a friggin' racehorse, maybe.

[sailorlaughter.livejournal.com]

See? That's the spirit!

Oooh, oooh! I know a racepony! Her name's Rainbow Dash, and she's the fastest most awesome flyer in all of EQUESTRIA! She's a pretty good gift giver too - one time she got me FOUR NEW PRANK BUZZERS! One for every hoof!

[itsjustthemads.livejournal.com]

[And the sarcasm continues on.] Oh well goody goody gooey gumdrops. I'll be sure to tell Mother alllll about Rainbow Dash next time she's at the track.

You have pegasus races down there?

[itsjustthemads.livejournal.com]

Uh. No. That was sarcasm! Is pink some kind of natural repellant of sarcasm?

[sailorlaughter.livejournal.com]

Nope-dopey! I don't think it is!

Oh! Oh oh oh wait! Twilight told me all about that! She said it's like a joke you make by saying something you really don't mean! So when you SAID there were pegasus races down there, you really meant that there AREN'T any!

Oooh, you're goooood.

[itsjustthemads.livejournal.com]

Yes. Yes, I am.

Whhaaait. The book Twilight taught you sarcasm? Perhaps I should assign that one again...

[sailorlaughter.livejournal.com]

What? No, silly, Twilight's not a book! She's a unicorn! I bet she'd make a good book, though, she's really super-duper smart!

[itsjustthemads.livejournal.com]

I thiiiink you've got your Twilights crossed. The only Twilight you'll be dealing with is really super-duper painful!
