Pinkie was in extra fine form, today, standing amidst what appeared to be giant piles of brightly colored rocks, wearing a chef's hat, a pair of safety goggles, and a set of the rocks on a string around her neck and all four hooves.

"HIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHI!" she greeted. Great. Someone had let the pony have caffeine.

Derek was wincing, hands over his ears like that would protect him from high pitched, loud ponies. It did not protect anything. "Inside voice."

"Oops!" said Pinkie, looking abashed. "SORRY." She cleared her throat, covering her mouth with one hoof. "Today we're going to make friendship jewelry. It's one my sister's and my specialties!"

She then proceeded to explain the rock candy around her and how she and her sister Maude started exchanging rock candy jewelry to show their friendship with each other.

"Oh god, there's another of you?" Derek was focused on that. Somehow.

"Uh," Pinkie said. "I have a whole family. Maude's just my favorite." Geez, Derek.

"Oh god."

"Don't worry," Pinkie said brightly. "I'm sure you'll get to meet her at least at the next Parent's Weekend!"

Barry opened his mouth to protest but was smart enough to keep it shut. He knew he was an asshole to most people so...

"All right," Barry said leaning back in his chair. "What's your deal? And if it involves elaborate costumes, the deals off."

"If you're nice to Edward," Rapunzel said carefully, "like actually are nice and don't just tell me you're gonna be nicer...you can have a strand of my hair. To like, look at under a microscope and do experiments on and stuff."

It was a pretty big deal for her to offer that, and said a lot both about how much she valued people being nice to each other, and how much she trusted Barry.

Barry paused and frowned a little.

"Fuck. All right! Fine!" he exclaimed with a sigh. "I'll be nice. And you don't have to give up your hair to make me be nicer. People shouldn't have to bribe me to be nice."

It just reminded him that he could be a dick and should be acting nicer to everyone anyway.

"No bets on whether this will actually work out but I'll give it an honest shot."

"Really?" Oh, cue Rapunzel actually bouncing up and down in glee, now. "Thank you, Barry! I told him I'd talk to you and I wasn't even sure if it was gonna work!"

She paused, and added, "But you can still look at my hair, if you're ever curious."

Barry couldn't help but smile at Rapunzel's enthusiasm. "I'll admit I'm curious," Barry said with a chuckle. "But... well look, friends who are scientists don't experiment on friends."

Besides the ethics committee probably wouldn't let him anyway.

"Offer stands," Rapunzel decided. "...unless I decide to negotiate for something else!"

Look, she'd never done it before. It turned out she was pretty good at striking deals!

"If you ever need a favor from me you don't need to offer me fucking anything," Barry said shaking his head. "That's not it works. But I appreciate the gesture."
