Bon-Bon: … I wish… Somepony answered, but it wasn’t who it should have been.
Lyra: Do they know that we-? Bon-Bon: No. I mean, they might be suspicious but I gave no indication. What about you? Lyra: B won’t answer no matter what I do. Usually I barely breathe and he’s there. Bon-Bon: Okay. Not panicking. The Elements of Harmony, and possibly the entirety of Equestria’s security forces, have been compromised. We are the only two we know of that aren’t Changelings- Lyra: Or worse…
Bon-Bon: What could possibly be worse? Lyra: They could still be themselves but mind controlled?
Bon-Bon: … Yeah, I guess they could be… Darn. That is a lot worse. Any ideas? Lyra: Cry?
Bon-Bon: Maybe something you aren’t already doing? Lyra: Cry harder? Bon-Bon: Lyra- Lyra: Bon-Bon I’m really scared! Bon-Bon: So am I! But if they replaced everypony in Equestria they wouldn’t have left us. This has got to be some kind of stealth insurgency plot; turn Equestria into a puppet state. That means most ponies should still be themselves. We have numbers. We’ve just got to find a way to rally them without being discovered…
Bon-Bon: Lyra, did you notice Fluttershy and Rarity acting strange today?
Lyra: No, but Twilight and Applejack seemed… off somehow. Like, distant maybe?
Bon-Bon: I wonder if its some kind of Harmony crisis.
Lyra: Maybe they’re just stressed. Or, ha! Maybe its Changelings!

I know, right?!
It’s like I was telling Raindrops the other day. I got this great OC, Albert, but I never get to talk about him. And even if I did, it’s like, where do you even start?
If you start at the beginning then you have all this context but when you finally get to the thing, its impact is muddled. If you just go straight into the thing, then the impact has no context and might not even mean anything to your audience!
First person narratives are rough.

Lyra: Huh. Those clouds look sorta funny…
Raindrops: The picture is sideways. We’re in the middle of the vertical climb in a loop-de-loop.
Lyra: Woof. I never really thought about all the orientation-screwing those kinds of maneuvers must cause.
Blossomforth: You haven’t got a clue…

Raindrops: Oh! And I saw Rainbow Dash come back with Princess Twilight! Just as Twister and I were finishing up. I think they were, like, guest instructing some applicants with Captain Spitfire.
Blossomforth: I still can’t believe you’re in the Wonderbolts Academy.
Raindrops: Eh heh heh… Sorry…
Blossomforth: For what?
Raindrops: … Uh-? Lyra: How did you do? Raindrops: Oh! I did…! I mean, I think it was… I, uh, probably did alright- Lyra: That’s great! Congratulations! Blossomforth: Yeah! Great job!
lmao, yeah i know, i figured. I was just [reacted] with you. I started on a joke answer actually,, then i was like “what if i just humiliate her instead?? just fill out her boring request with no loopholes. thatd be funny”
Had a dream, short one as far as I can remember, where Bon-Bon told me she joined a band. And I’m all “Oh my gosh! That’s great!“ And she was trying to show me the kind of music they’d be playing and I’m figuring something slower and spiritual with, like, personal stories tied to them. Folk/Bluegrass-paced at the very most. And then she brings up a window playing this song and I’m just losing it.
“Bon-Bon-hahaha-what?“ “What’s wrong, Lyra?“ “HA-hahahahaha!“ “You don’t like this song?“ “No!-Hahaha-It’s fine!-Hahahahaha! W-… What instrument do you play?“ “I’m the singer.“ “HAHA~! AH hahahahaha!“
