Ask Lyra
Month
Lyra: Wait wait wait wait. Wait. Back up. You were living in Cloudsdale long enough to spectate on Rainbow Dash’s entire competitive career?
Raindrops: Yes?
Lyra: How? I thought you grew up in Canterlot, like me.
Raindrops: I did.
Lyra: That’s impossible! You can’t be in two places at once!
Raindrops: I… wasn’t? We lived in Lower Canterlot till I was fifteen, then we moved to Cloudsdale to live with my grandmother.
Lyra: You were fifteen at Rainbow Dash’s first race?
Raindrops: Well, like eighteen by then.
Lyra: H… H-how old are you?
Raindrops: Thirty.
Lyra: You’re older than me?!
Raindrops: Nine.
[Pause]
Lyra: Y… You’re almost forty?! But… but you look like you’re twenty!
Raindrops: Oh, well thank you.
Tootsie: What’s Sweetie Belle’s problem?
Aura: Huh? Oh. Iunno.
Ruby: Cats in the cradle.
Aura: Oh yeah! … Big sister syndrome.
Tootsie: Wha?
Aura: Oh that’s right, you don’t have a big sister.
Ruby: When you’re younger you want to spend time with your big sister, but she doesn’t have time for you. Then, when you get older, your big sister wants to spend time with you. But now you’re the one that’s busy, so she gets on your nerves.
Tootsie: Oh… That sounds sad… Wait, what if she just doesn’t want to watch puppets?
Aura: Tch-eah right! Who wouldn’t want to watch puppets?
Bon-Bon: So… what is this called again?
Lyra: Fluttershy calls it an “Animal Sanctuary“.
Bon-Bon: It’s… kinda just one big zoo enclosure. Only without the enclosure. Wouldn’t the animals just, you know, eat each other?
Lyra: I think that’s the point?
Bon-Bon: There aren’t any dangerous animals here, like a hippopotamus, are there?
Lyra: I don’t aim to find out.
Bon-Bon: Good call, let’s get out of here.
Bon-Bon: Come on, Lyra.
Lyra: Nope.
Bon-Bon: Lyra.
Lyra: Nope.
Bon-Bon: Lyra, be reasonable!
Lyra: You didn’t see that look in Pinkie Pie’s eyes, Bon-Bon! She’s a desperate mare driven to the brink! I ain’t goin’ out there!
Bon-Bon: Oh for pony’s sake… I’m going out with or without you.
Lyra: Just gonna sit here. Completely still in case Pinkie looks in the window.
[Pause]
Lyra: Hey Simple, how’s it going? No, boy, this is a bad time for face lickums. Not in the nose! NOOOOO~!
