So, are you getting any funny looks at the restaurant for your choice of date?
Oh, I wouldn’t know.
I was a little preoccupied.
I guess they also could have been staring at my cast and crutch, though. In retrospect, probably looked weird with my dress.
We’re at Boscov’s house right now, though. He’s showing me his glue lab. Smells a little strong, but it’s kinda cool! Was always a little interested in science, but was never any good at it.
How is your date with Krastos going?
Anonymous
Going alright.
Food finally got here so conversation is slowing down a bit.
He looks so handsome in his little suit. He looks like a big ol’ teddy bear!
Hi Lyra. Hope I arrived at a good time.
Very punctual!
I’ll talk to everypony later!
*glomp* Your hair tastes minty, are you related to Colgate?
No, I just use mint-scented shampoo.
Also, leggo! I have a date to prepare for and you’re messing up my hair!
For what it's worth, I think he'd make a great father figure. I mean, I guess -- we don't really have fathers (or mothers) down here, so I can only guess as to what it's like! ~ ask-seapony-lyra

I guess that’s another thing we have in common.
Being an orphan, I’m not entirely sure how it works either.
Awesome -- I'm happy for the both of you! Krastos seems like a good guy. If I were into the whole... falling-in-love-which-for-me-would-mean-certain-death thing, I would totally be into him, too! ~ ask-seapony-lyra

Thanks!
But, I’m not really ‘in love’ yet. I’m giving it a shot. He’s a nice guy; very polite and talented, but also not afraid to speak his mind. And I think he could be a great father figure to Sweetie!
I hope I’m not asking too much of him with that last part, though…
You're The Pony Krastos Has A Thing For! I Don't Know Why I Didn't Guess That! I Knew He Had A Crush On A Pony But I Didn't Know It Was You. What Did You Say To Him? Good Luck On Your Date Btw.
I didn’t know right away, but I started to piece it together.
Once I had things sorted out with York, I just asked him if it was me. I gotta work all next week; don’t really have time to beat-around-the-bush.
And thanks! Since we already know one another, we’re skipping the whole ‘first date’ thing and moving on to the fancy restaurant atmosphere!
Are you going out on a dinner date lyra?

Ma~ybe…
Mister Special Agent York and I came to an understanding, that we should just be friends. And Boscov admitted something to me (that, truthfully, I’d figured for a little over a week).
Okay!
On a related note, I’ll be unavailable in about three hours while out to dinner.
Have you ever saved some pony's life?

…
Maybe… Indirectly, maybe my actions have stopped somepony from dying…
Have I ever stood over somepony hanging from the brink and pulled them back to safety? No… I was always either too late…

Sorry, this isn’t a subject I’m fond of… I think that’s it from me for tonight.
What is your opinion of cheese?

I love cheese!
Cheesy tortillas are the bomb!
If that's some convoluted logic you're trying to pull to get everypony to refer to you as a person from now on I don't think it's working.
What's even worse about that gag is that it operates on an additional, mocking level, in which they subtly bring up the allegations of you wishing to be a person.
“Person” and “people” are just terms denoting any sentient creature.
Ponies just tend to call everypony a pony as slang. I mean, most of the time that’s who you’re talking to.
would you like to hang out tomorrow?
Well… That’s sort of up in the air.
I need to hear back from a bear.
