"why do ya even ask?" Applejack said, grinning.

"Hmm... I'd like to meet this Lyra once. She might just be able to help me find out more about this blueprint I found once of a tracked vehicle. Anyway, yeah, what's that up on the roof?" Running Gear said.
Sakak then snapped his fingers, producing a photo album of pictures of discord as a baby, in various humiliating situations.
---------------
Twilight looked up, hearing something moving around. "Don't know, but we should probably check it out. An animal living in the attic can cause a lot of damage. And I know a few things about handling animals from Fluttershy."
"Show us! I wanna see!" Pinkie said.
---
"Yeah. Let's check it out." Running Gear said though. "Kinda strange that animals might be living in this smelly, noisy thing."
Sakak showed them and explained what each one was, in the most hilarious way possible. Even Fluttershy was rolling on the floor laughing in a couple seconds.
"Hey! Rainbow Dash! You've got the act! Now want to come see some embarrassing baby pictures of Discord!" Sakak called.
-------------
"It might have just climbed in during the day," said Twilight. "How do we get up there?"
Applejack, like Fluttershy, was nearly rolling on the floor laughing. Pinkie was actually rolling all over the floor.
"What? Where?" Dash said.
---
"Good question." Running Gear said. "I don't know."
"Here," said Sakak, waving. "Come look."
------------
Twilight looked around. "Looks like a maintenance hatch right there," she said, pointing to a small door up on the ceiling. She opened it telekinetically...then had to dodge an old ladder that came swinging down. "Yep, maintenance hatch. Should we head up?"
Rainbow Dash immediately came flying back towards Sakak, taking a look at the pictures. "No way! Is that Discord?" she said.
---
"Yup. Let's take a look." Running Gear said, fluttering her wings and flying up, peeking through the maintenance hatch. "Can't see anything." She said.
Sakak nodded. "Yeah, he was actually a bratty little kid, but the older brother so he always picked on me," he said, then told the funny story behind each again.
--------------
Twilight climbed up and looked around. "Me neither," she said, then lit her horn up. To her fright, the light lit up a black animal with a pair of white stripes down it's back. "Horse apples..." she said, as the skunk lifted it's tail in shock and sprayed both mares.
Twilight jumped down, coughing and gagging, turning a little green in the face as she covered her nose tight. "Of all the animals it could've been," she coughed.
Rainbow Dash attempted to say something, but a fit of laughter overtook her.
---
"Sweet Celestia! Transmission fluid is perfume compared to this! Gosh!" Running Gear said.
"I've got pretty cute pictures of Celly and Lulu too, if you want to see those," said Sakak, taking out another album.
---------------
"You've got that right, peeyew!" exclaimed Twilight, laying down and covering her nose as tightly as she could. "Ugh...You've never been sprayed by a skunk before?" she asked, still coughing with eyes watering.
"Yup, sure." Applejack said after she had managed to stop laughing.
---
"It's not the first time, but I forgot how bad this smells. Sweet Celestia!" Running Gear said. "I'd bury myself in coal to get rid of this!"
Sakak nodded and showed them the pictures, all of which were in Everfree Forest.
"Aww! they're so cute!" said Fluttershy, smiling brightly at the little filly versions of the princesses.
--------------
Twilight set up, putting her hoof over her nose. "I know, I got sprayed during the Winter Wrap Up and I'd forgot too," she said. "Ugh...we gotta get that thing out of there, but I'm not getting sprayed again," she said. "Lets go get Fluttershy, she can get it out peacefully, then we can go bathe in tomato juice to get rid of the smell," she said, gagging. "Yuck! I think it went in my mouth!"
"Ah agree with ya there, Fluttershy." Applejack said, looking at the pictures.
---
"Oh, sweet Celestia. Why isn't there a spell to get rid of this stuff?" Running Gear said.
Rarity nodded. "Celestia had pink hair?" she asked, looking at it.
Sakak nodded. "Yes, what color is it now? I know Alicorns get an energy mane when they get older."
--------------
"I've looked, there isn't," said Twilight, getting sick to her stomach. "Let's just go find Fluttershy before I throw up..." she said, starting back to Sakak's train car.
"It's not just one colour anymore." Applejack said.
---
"Yeah. Gosh, I forgot how horrific this stuff smells." Running Gear said.
