We kinda didn’t understand some of the rules. I probably would have won if we did, but Minuette was the only one who had read the directions and she was in a hurry to do so. Lemon Hearts got bored and went to bed because the rules weren’t quite adding up. Minuette won.
Minuette, Twinkleshine and I played Yoshi. Twinkleshine was better than I was at it, but Minuette su~cked. Fortunately, especially on two player mode, the game is super easy so it doesn’t really matter if you die. We all had fun.
Lemon Hearts was always awake first and made us breakfast everyday! And, even though she had to leave early to go back to work, she suggested we all go see Star Wars! Of course, Minuette had already seen it, but she wanted to watch it again in 2D. She said the 2D was better.
Bon-Bon and Lemon Hearts even picked up a controller and played Smash Bros! That was a good laugh!
Bon-Bon was more interested in the stuff around town and organized a gift exchange for our group. I got a candle warmer! She sometimes went off on her own, but as long as she had fun!
Bon-Bon had never seen a Star Wars movie. But she liked the new one too!

Lyra: Wow! Why don’t you ever wear your mane like that, Bon-Bon?
Bon-Bon: You mean unkempt in the back like a barbarian?
Lyra: Yeah! It looks great!
Bon-Bon: D-… Does it?
Well, this was the last night. Everypony else has gone home and we head back early tomorrow. Have to be home before school lets out for Liza. We had such a good time though! Got to do so much nerd stuff! We played this super hero card game, some new colony came called Catan, Yoshi game, we even got to see the new Star Wars!
We got to eat at a few places, hang out at a few shops, and just generally wonder around Rainbow Falls without all the fanfare of the Trader’s Exchange.
I wish it hadn’t ended so soon, but I’ll remember this trip fondly and it was a nice way to start the new year! See you all soon!
Shhh. It’s still early.
Bon-Bon and I finally took that vacation- we’re in Rainbow Falls! And Minuette, Lemon Hearts, and Twinkleshine are here too! Twilight and Moon Dancer couldn’t make it. Everypony else is still asleep, but we hung out and played board games and had a great time!
Hope everypony had a Happy New Year!
Going to go visit a friend. Bon-Bon is coming too! Might post something when I get there, but no promises!
Well, I finished that bird-dating game. It got… progressively darker the more I played. I brought up some… uncomfortable emotions.
It wasn’t a bad game, but it was certainly not the lighthearted experience I was expecting. Even so, I felt compelled to see it through to its end.
when will game of thrones and the walking dead go away. when will this wave of cynical grimdark “only the strong survive” fiction finally end. why is star trek about explosions now. please give me the power to destroy this disgusting redpill bro nerd culture that is wallowing in its cheap easy discomfort and gratuitous shock value and refusal to move forward with society
Yoshi!
I don’t know. Christmas is still kinda new to me (even if some ponies shamelessly sold out). I don’t think a movie taking place during a holiday immediately makes it a holiday movie. I do like that one though! I don’t know even know the other movie.
I’ve seen A Christmas Story. That was pretty good.
Oh! And thanks for the bird-dating present! Seems to be some interesting things going on under the surface!
My friend @allgreymatters sent me a written holiday card! I was expecting it (because she made a post asking if anypony wanted one), but I wasn’t expecting the little gifts inside! There’s some high quality stickers (the one on the far left is layered!) but my favorite is the rub-off tattoo! It’s too bad they don’t work so well on pony coats, but I especially love the little skull music notes!
Thanks again, Grey! This was a fantastic surprise!
1) Lyra: I’m not really in a position to ask “Hey, what was the exact thing you fire me for?“ I could try to sue for employee records on myself, but that’d probably go over as well as anything else.
Ribbon: Even if you tried, all you’d get in reply would be a generic “Inappropriate conduct in a public forum“ which is more than stretching the original terminology. This is why law makers should not also enforce the laws. Any time there’s a conflict you can be assured they’ll side with themselves.
2) Hahaha. Ohohoh-kay Strawberry. On a list of things that sound fake, that’d easily top the charts. But whatever you say.
Bon-Bon: Rebecca. I know you only want the best for me, but who I spend my days with is not your decision to make. And if you respect me for the things I’ve done, then you have to respect Lyra for the things she was forced to struggle through. That’s why I like spending time with her. Secret organizations, life-threatening situations, cloak-and-dagger; it may not have been my first choice, but it was still my choice. Lyra didn’t have that choice.
Bon-Bon: Besides, you think I want to be spoon-fed ambrosia from a silver bowl? I moved out here so I could be a normal mare. I like Lyra because she doesn’t treat me special. She never did. I didn’t do what I did for wealth or stature, I did it because it was the right thing. And we don’t do the right thing expecting something in return. We do it- Ribbon: Because it’s right…
Bon-Bon: You’re my sister and I still love you, Rebecca. But this is it. If you do something like this again I can’t have you in my life anymore. I know when Mom gave up on me it put a lot of pressure on you, but you’re the one that choose to accept that pressure. And you’ve more than risen to her expectations! It’s ridiculous that I can trust you with my secret identity but not my everyday life. Ribbon: But what about when she leaves? What about when you’re left here all alone? Lyra: Why does everypony keep thinking I’m going somewhere? Bon-Bon: We don’t live expecting the worst. We just enjoy what we have while we have it. It’s all we can do. Ribbon: I’m… I’m sorry, Samantha! I’m sorry, Lyra! Bon-Bon: I choose to believe you. Please don’t make that a mistake… And don’t call me Samantha.
Ribbon: I don’t… I mean I never… Lyra: If you don’t know, I
can tell you. It’s because I’m an orphan. Because I’m poor. I have no
past and I might as well have no future. Ribbon: That is not-! Lyra:
I don’t belong in your life unless I’m one of those poor ponies begging
for your help: “They have to find me innocent, right?! I was never
there! I don’t even know them!“ You can’t stand that you have no power over me! Ribbon: Bonnie shouldn’t have to-! Lyra: You act like it’s about her, but it’s all about you, isn’t it?! I’m not what you want! I’m just a street urchin, or a drifter, or some Romarei slurI know better than to repeat under such context! Ribbon: Romarei? Lyra:
And if it’s not that then it’s just me! You despise everything I am!
Nothing would please you more than to have me locked up or banished for
the rest of my days! Anything to get me out of the way! You’d rather
Bon-Bon spend time with anypony else in Equestria! Anypony but me!
Ribbon: YOU DON’T DESERVE HER! You’re a filthy, foul-mouthed, wretched creature! And the very arrogance!
You think it’s you? You think you’re anything special?! Ha! I’d have a
line- A LINE- running out that door and around this little shack
seven-times over on rich poniesalone! The Bohun family matched wits with the princesses and, even in defeat, still came out on top! We’re practically nobility! Ponies would kill to marry into our family! And if that were all… If you knew what she’s done for us all… Bon-Bon: She knows, Rebecca. Ribbon: She… does? Even the name? Bon-Bon: Even the name. Ribbon:
And still? And still you swear in her presence!? Treat her like a commoner?!
Equestria- the princesses- neigh, the entire world owes itself to Samantha,
and that was before she joined the agency! Risked her life everyday!
Saved thousands of lives a hundred times over! My sister deserves the
hoof of a prince! Or a princess. Royalty and any rate! That’s why I only
ever brought her the best! Dignitaries! CEOs! Diplomats! The Captain of
the Wonderbolts-!
Lyra: Wait! Wait a minute! Spitfire? Spitfire was interested in Bon-Bon? You had a chance with Spitfire and turned it down? Bon-Bon: She’s really not that great- Lyra: Who else? Name names. Ribbon: I- Uh… Emerald Beacon? Lyra: Keep going. Ribbon:
Professor Hayton? Filthy Rich before he got back together with his
wife, though even I’ll admit that was a poor judgement call on my part.
Then Marigold Riverside, Spitfire, Fleur Dis Lee- Lyra: The famous model?! She donates, like, thousands of bits a year! Bon-Bon: And she’ll continue to do so with or without me- I think we’re losing focus here.
