1) I imagine the first time this was used it probably took a while to compose, what with all the symbols.
2) Twilight doesn’t have any guards. And I’m pretty sure she’s trying to keep this on the down low. I probably shouldn’t even be talking about it. Things just keep happening to change our priorities. That nightmare thing. The Almost War. And Twilight disappeared in Canterlot for almost a week.
3) You don’t sound like a cop. You sound like a robot. Also, the illegal drugs have a name.
4) I’m sure there were those that did. Good gracious, am I this far behind on answering questions? Sorry everypony!
Trailblazer turns to buck at the cave wall with her brass horseshoes. The impact shatters the stone, and part of the wall collapses to reveals a passage.
Among the rubble, Trailblazer finds some gemstones.
You get 23 Gemstones!
The passage leads to a spacious cavern lit by shimmering pools of water. The sound of a trickling stream echoes softly in the distance.
Bon-Bon: In a couple of years ponies will wonder how they ever lived without Skub!
Tootsie: You’re both weird…
Lyra: There won’t be anypony left in a couple of years if Skub isn’t stopped!
1) I’m kinda trying to get to Hong Kong… Say, have you seen any sailors?
2) Maybe they aren’t your own. Strawberry, you were kinda powerful. I wouldn’t call it a stretch that you might have made some enemies. I hope you really are getting your memories back. Just be careful with what you see.
3) Not unless she starts looking.
4) Technically no to both. This is Bon-Bon’s house.

Sounds like me up there behind the steering wheel.
1) Oh heavens no! That wasn’t even her fault! And I’m way past the point of caring about those fillies. They’d probably be embarrassed about it if I ever ran into them and brought it up.
2) More complicated than anything else, I guess.
3) Sure! I mean, I don’t remember much of it. But I remember that spoon thing from the sound episode!
Tootsie: I get to hang out with my friends! And go swimming! And we play tag-!
Bon-Bon: And how is your summer reading going?
Tootsie: A~w…

[Long pause]
Lyra: Why don’t you just say it?
B: Because I don’t have to. I already know the answer. You’re the one still struggling with the question.
Lyra: But I’m not!
B: And I’m not a trained psychologist. Which is something you happen to see on a regular basis. Maybe you should talk about this with her.
Lyra: I don’t want to talk about this at all!
B: Then why did you bring it up? I certainly don’t care. I’m concerned with your life, not your denial.
Lyra: I’m not-!
B: Stop. Instead of refuting every single thing you hear that you disagree with, why don’t you try turning it around into something that might have some real impact? Not “Am I jealous?” But “Why am I jealous?“ What is it about Twilight that makes her worth comparing yourself to? There are a hundred or more mares that have had an easier life than you that are better off to boot. Why Twilight? Has it always been Twilight?
Lyra: I… I don’t know…
B: And I’m not a trained psychologist.
Lyra: I can’t believe we’re even having this conversation.
Twilight: I just… never quite put two and two together, I guess.
Lyra: More than that, I can’t believe you didn’t get me! You came back to Ponyville for Pinkie Pie but you didn’t get me?!
Twilight: Well, I couldn’t carry Pinkie Pie and you at once.
Lyra: Alright, fine.
Twilight: I’m really sorry for how I treated you, Lyra.
Lyra: Yeah, well it’s not alright. I was never as smart, or as quick, or as clever, so I couldn’t even keep up with you and Moondancer. Quite clearly, I might as well have not even existed to you.
Twilight: I know! And I’m sorry! If I can just-
Lyra: But you know what really gets to me? All the help you’ve given me. I figured it was because we went way back. But not even knowing who I was? How could anypony have really changed that much? How could a pony that only had friends by association become this selfless… thing? … But I guess that’s why you became the princess. And me…?
Twilight: Lyra… I-
Lyra: I don’t really want to talk right now, Twilight. I just want to think to myself.

1) I… Didn’t realize he played basketball. Or that he was a donkey. I’ve recently heard he’s not very good at Portal 2, though.
2) Oh give it a rest. Iris wasn’t even that interesting of a character. Not that Double was either. Really, the only good thing to come out of X4 was Split Mushroom.
3) Lyra: Yeah… I’m a little new to this I guess…
Tootsie: I’m fine, thanks for asking! No school!
Lyra: She’s doing The No School Dance.
Jul 01
Lyra: Blossomforth! [Heavy Knocking] Blossomforth! [Heavy Knocking] If you don’t open this door for me you’ll open it for Twilight!
Blossomforth: Lyra? What’s going on?
Lyra: Well look who decided to wake up! I bet you had a real long night last night!
Blossomforth: I didn’t invite you inside.
Lyra: Cut the crap! I didn’t tell Twilight yet, but I know what you’ve done!
Blossomforth: You… you were spying on me?
Lyra: You bet your flank I was! How could you?!
Blossomforth: I-I didn’t think it was that big of a deal! It’s just a show!
Lyra: Just a-… What?
Blossomforth: And I thought you liked My Little Human.
Lyra: Don’t play dumb with me! I saw you fly out of Twilight’s Castle! You’ve been going to the human world!
Lyra: Wait a minute. Wait a minute! You seriously haven’t been going to the human world? I saw a pegasus fly out of the castle late last night.
Blossomforth: So I’m suddenly the only pegasus in Ponyville?!
Lyra: You’re the only pegasus that knows about it! Except Rainbow Dash. And Fluttershy. Okay, I might not know everypony that knows about it. Maybe I jumped the hurdle here.
Blossomforth: MAYBE?! I’m about to have a panic attack!
Lyra: Alright I’m sorry! I just didn’t want you to get in trouble if I could talk you out of it! Just- Don’t tell anypony about this! Twilight is trying to catch whoever is responsible before they can do anything rash.
Blossomforth: I don’t even want to remember this! Get out of my house!
[Door Slam] [Pause]
Lyra: Okay. That went well.

Tootsie: [Audible Yawn]
Bon-Bon: When you said you were planning a picnic, this isn’t what I had in mind.
Lyra: Hey! You were the one that said you didn’t like me going out late by myself. Now I’m not alone!
Lyra: You hear that? So heroic and brave! And not covert and secret-keeping…
Bon-Bon: Okay fine! I’m the crazy pony here!
Lyra: As long as you know!
Bon-Bon: This is so stupid… If somepony’s breaking into the castle, they aren’t going to be so easy to find. Are you expecting them to just walk out the front-… Lyra. Lyra! Up! Up! The window!
Lyra: Holy crap! That’s not Twilight!
Tootsie: Oh my gosh! That’s them!
Lyra: Shh! Quiet! Twilight doesn’t want them to know we know anything!
Bon-Bon: So what do we do?
Lyra: I’m… I’m trying to make out who it is.
Bon-Bon: They’re already flying away.
Lyra: Shoot! But we know it’s a pegasus. Which gives me a pretty good idea of who it might be…
I’m not really that agile, though. And begging your pardon, but I am alwaysverylogical.
2) I know basically nothing about Mad Max, but I’m glad you liked it! Also, this Imperator seems to have some delayed motivational issues.
3) No kidding. As if there isn’t enough going on at any given time. Those yaks were furious when they got their tickets. And they didn’t even have to pay for them!
But Pinkie Pie must have done something Pinkie Pie-ish, because everything seems alright now. So if you’ll excuse me, there’s a party going on outside and I think I see a ball bouncing around!
