Lyra: Bon-Bon. Psst. Bon-Bon! Bon-Bon: I’m only sitting across from you, Lyra. Lyra: We have to get out of here! This place is even more expensive than I thought!
Bon-Bon: I told you not to worry about it.
Lyra: Why are we even here? Most of crap on this menu is more expensive than a week’s groceries!
Bon-Bon: Because you will learn what good food tastes like if I literally have to shove it down your throat.
Lyra: I know what good food tastes like!
Bon-Bon: No. You know what passable food tastes like. You probably know what okay food tastes like. And you might’ve even had overpriced food. But there is no mistaking good food. And if you’d had it before you wouldn’t eat half of the slop you do with a grin. Lyra: Bet me… Bon-Bon: And unfortunately the only place in Ponyville that serves good food is on the pricier side. I consider it an investment in your culinary education.
Tootsie: Do I order from the cheap menu or the expensive menu?
Did you see?! What an amazing effect on top of an amazing performance! How did they do that?!
Bon-Bon: It was nice of your bosses to finally give you a Saturday off.
Lyra: You’d think it was the least they could do after forcing me to work on Nightmare Night, sick and throwing up. Last real day off I had was to visit the fillies and colts at the end of the school year in June. I practically had to chop off my hooves this time. The new company is pretty cruel.
Bon-Bon: Well, I’m just glad you’ll be here. And to see Countess Coloratura no less!
Lyra: Me too! I’m looking forward to tonight! She might not be my favorite, but she can sing really well under all that drama! Seems kinda silly to open with your headline act, though. But I guess she probably wouldn’t agree to less.

1) Bon-Bon: I don’t know. Where she comes from I hear they’re pretty lazy.
Lyra: What? Oh? Yeah, well… Heh heh, I forgot what I was going to say.
3) I don’t know. Bon-Bon won’t tell me ahead of time. She says she doesn’t want me to study for it. Which is silly. I don’t study.
4) If they fired you for being absent because of a psychological/magical disorder, I’m pretty sure you’d have grounds to sue. I could have asked about it, but the only lawyer I know isn’t to keen on me right now.
Bon-Bon: It’s about following directions and not looking for a shortcut. When you’ve had experience, then you can start trying new things and going by taste. Real taste. Not lots-of-salt taste. But this was a good step! We’ll build from here!
Trailblazer’s Cutie Mark and Trailblazer’s Compass affect your roll.
The party decides to head north. A few minutes later, they reach the edge of the forest, and the Everfree Castle Ruins come into view, surrounded by deep ravines.
Moonflower: “Cool! How do we get in?”
Windcaller: “Ah… the bridge is on other side of the castle, so we’ll have to walk around to reach the entrance.”
Moonflower: “Ooh! Or we could just fly over there!”
Ribbon: Alright, alright. Go grab your things. I’ll carry your horticulture marvel. I’m sure your father will be delighted to see your work! Look Bonnie!
Bon-Bon: I’ve been watching her take care of that flower for the last few months, Ribbon.
Ribbon: But just look here! Where the leaves change color? The book says that’s very hard to do!
Bon-Bon: And that’s wonderful, Ribbon! I’m happy for Liza.
Ribbon: Oh you shush. I’m a mother and I’m proud of my daughter’s work. Nothing more.
Bon-Bon: Right… Can you hurry up and get that thing out of here? Lyra’s been sneezing like mad ever since it bloomed.
