Ask Lyra
Month
Bon-Bon: Did… Did you have a strange dream with Princess Celestia in it?
Lyra: … Not really… Why?
Bon-Bon: I was baking and suddenly Princess Celestia shows up looking really haggard. And she was like, “Don’t be afraid, everything’s going to be okay.“ In this completely drained voice and I’m just like, “So should I use less cinnamon? More?“
Tootsie: I had a dream I was running in a race and Princess Celestia showed up and said “You don’t have to run.“ I and said “But I want to win.“ And she said “It’s okay to lose. Failure is a natural part of life.“ And I was just… it’s a game?
Lyra: Weird.
Bon-Bon: What did you dream about?
Lyra: Falling into the sun. And don’t worry, the metaphor isn’t lost on me. But it’s been reoccurring again lately so I don’t think it’s related.
Bon-Bon: Do you ever have a good night sleep?
Lyra: Sometimes. [Pause] Once in a while.
Bon-Bon: So, which was your favorite?
Lyra: Overall, I liked Inky Rose’s designs. But my favorite was one of Starstreak’s. The one with the pants and the long coat. You?
Bon-Bon: I liked Lily Lace’s third ballroom gown. The one with the feathered hat. I also liked the hoodie.
Lyra: Inky’s hoodie? The one with the spiderweb pattern on it?
Bon-Bon: Well, I didn’t care for the holes in the shirt. Otherwise, sure!
Lyra: Wow! I didn’t expect that.
Bon-Bon: I bet Liza would have liked the yellow one.
Lyra: That one was pretty too! Reminded me of Belle’s gown. Though, I guess any canary yellow gala dress would.
