Oh god, we’re only halfway through 2020…

<ahem> I’m sure every DM does this at least once. Any stories about burying the lede, intentionally or accidentally?<br/>

Rainbow Dash: I’mma stop you right there. You’re expecting <em>me</em> to help this rich, famous, <strong>happy</strong> couple get married?<br/>
Applejack: “Happy” is the worst part?<br/>
Rainbow Dash: I-I’m just saying! What do you want me to do, punch people?<br/>
Princess Cadance: Hmhmhm! No offense taken.<br/>
Shining Armor: Heh. I mean, if we get attacked, yes! By all means, work security.<br/>
DM: Considering some of the notoriety you gained at the Best Young Fliers Competition, I’m sure everyone in Canterlot wants to see a Sonic Rainboom on such a special day.<br/>
Rainbow Dash: PFFFT. Yeah, but didn’t that take, like, four exactly precise rolls to pull off? What are the odds of me being able to do that again?<br/>
Twilight Sparkle: 1/20 to the 4th power…<br/>
DM: Since you’ve succeeded once and have gone up a couple levels… I’m willing to say you can now perform the Sonic Rainboom reliably.<br/>
[Rainbow Dash: Wait, WHAT?! WHAT?!?! AUUUGGGH!! Why do you have such a PROBLEM with telling me the good news FIRST?!?!]<br/>
