Daring Don't and Poppy Clear

Rainbow Dash: Four more months, four more months, four more months! I bet you're excited, huh?

Fluttershy: Oh, my. I, uh, I could be excited. I don't really know. I wasn't really think—

Rose Light: Come on, you gotta be excited!

Fluttershy: Oh, well, I guess maybe I'm a little kinda sort of excited.

Rainbow Dash: I thought so!

Fluttershy: Yeah... so, um, why am I excited?

Rose Light: Because the next Daring Do and Poppy Cloud book is coming out exactly four months from today! That's how exciting it is! So what amazing, incredible, awesome adventure do you think Derring Do and Poppy Cloud will have in their next book, huh?

Rainbow Dash: [voice over] Will they at long last stalk the Fortress of Talacon, only to be forced to contend with its dreaded and impenetrable arrow defense? And if so, could their skills, quick wits, and courage possibly carry the day? Or will their next adventure bring them face to face with the vast and horrible Ahuizotl himself?!

Ahuizotl: [roars]

Rose Light: Would they cower, turn tail and run? Or would they fly at him, full bore, knowing full well against all odds that the greatest challenge they ever faced was still surely no match for—

Ahuizotl [with Fluttershy's voice]: [gasps] Look out!

[crash]

[birds tweeting]

Fluttershy: Oh, I'm not so sure they're gonna last another four months...

Rainbow Dash: Three months and twenty six days, three months and twenty six days, three months and twenty six days! Heya, Twilight! Aren't you excited that—

Pinkie Pie: [blows party horn]

[party music playing]

Twilight Sparkle: So glad you've finally made it!

Rose Light: What's everypony doing here?

Pinkie Pie: We're having a holiday party! [blows horn]

Rainbow Dash: So what holiday would today be?

Pinkie Pie: National Random Holiday Party Day! Woo-hoo!

Rarity: I've never heard of it either. [sips] But the punch is quite tasty.

Pinkie Pie: You might say the secret ingredient is... [whispering loudly] a secret! [squee]

Rose Light: How come nopony bothered to invite me?

Applejack: I came to invite you personally, but it seems you were a speck too busy reading the last Daring Do and Poppy Cloud book for the twelfth time.

Rainbow Dash: Yeah, well, in three months and twenty six more days, I'll be able to read the next one.

Twilight Sparkle: Oh, haven't you heard? The release of the next book got pushed another two months.

Rose Light: [spit-take] Two more months?! I've been waiting so long already! I don't think I can take another two months! I'll never make it!

Fluttershy: Yeah. I can vouch for that...

Rainbow Dash: Did they give a reason?

Twilight Sparkle: The publisher just said author A.K. Yearling and M.J. Laufeyson won't be able to finish the book for another two months. Cupcakes?

Rose Light: [growls] How could you possibly know that before me? I'm the series' biggest fan!

Twilight Sparkle: I'm just as big a fan as you! In fact, I'm the one who first introduced you to the books, remember?
