Bon-Bon: Did… Did you have a strange dream with Princess Celestia in it?
Lyra: … Not really… Why?
Bon-Bon: I was baking and suddenly Princess Celestia shows up looking really haggard. And she was like, “Don’t be afraid, everything’s going to be okay.“ In this completely drained voice and I’m just like, “So should I use less cinnamon? More?“
Tootsie: I had a dream I was running in a race and Princess Celestia showed up and said “You don’t have to run.“ I and said “But I want to win.“ And she said “It’s okay to lose. Failure is a natural part of life.“ And I was just… it’s a game?
Lyra: Weird.
Bon-Bon: What did you dream about?
Lyra: Falling into the sun. And don’t worry, the metaphor isn’t lost on me. But it’s been reoccurring again lately so I don’t think it’s related.
Bon-Bon: Do you ever have a good night sleep?
Lyra: Sometimes. [Pause] Once in a while.
Bon-Bon: So, which was your favorite?
Lyra: Overall, I liked Inky Rose’s designs. But my favorite was one of Starstreak’s. The one with the pants and the long coat. You?
Bon-Bon: I liked Lily Lace’s third ballroom gown. The one with the feathered hat. I also liked the hoodie.
Lyra: Inky’s hoodie? The one with the spiderweb pattern on it?
Bon-Bon: Well, I didn’t care for the holes in the shirt. Otherwise, sure!
Lyra: Wow! I didn’t expect that.
Bon-Bon: I bet Liza would have liked the yellow one.
Lyra: That one was pretty too! Reminded me of Belle’s gown. Though, I guess any canary yellow gala dress would.
Hey Mod Dog! You obviously like dog (because Winona is dog). But what other animals do you like?
Lyra: I’ve never heard of coatis before, they’re cute!
Bon-Bon:You like timber wolves? My, that’s… interesting…
Tootsie: Rats?! E~w!
Bon-Bon: Liza, that’s not a very adult response.
Tootsie: Sorry Ms. Mod Dog…
Simple: Borf.
Bon-Bon: So… what is this called again?
Lyra: Fluttershy calls it an “Animal Sanctuary“.
Bon-Bon: It’s… kinda just one big zoo enclosure. Only without the enclosure. Wouldn’t the animals just, you know, eat each other?
Lyra: I think that’s the point?
Bon-Bon: There aren’t any dangerous animals here, like a hippopotamus, are there?
Lyra: I don’t aim to find out.
Bon-Bon: Good call, let’s get out of here.
Bon-Bon: Come on, Lyra. Lyra: Nope.
Bon-Bon: Lyra. Lyra: Nope.
Bon-Bon: Lyra, be reasonable! Lyra: You didn’t see that look in Pinkie Pie’s eyes, Bon-Bon! She’s a desperate mare driven to the brink! I ain’t goin’ out there!
Bon-Bon: Oh for pony’s sake… I’m going out with or without you.
Lyra: Just gonna sit here. Completely still in case Pinkie looks in the window.
[Pause]
Lyra: Hey Simple, how’s it going? No, boy, this is a bad time for face lickums. Not in the nose! NOOOOO~!
Bon-Bon: I can’t believe you didn’t want to go to the art exhibition.
Lyra: I can’t believe Princess Flurry Heart buried herself in a mound of stuffed animals. You’d think the future heir to the Crystal Empire would have guards with her, like, 24/7.
Bon-Bon: Don’t change the subject, I thought you loved art!
Lyra: Come to think of it, does Cadance need an heir? She’s a pegasus-turned-alicorn. Is she immortal? I always just kinda assumed Twilight isn’t.
Bon-Bon: Lyra!
Lyra: Whaaat? The exhibit? It’s just a bunch of minimalist post-modern crap anyway. Art is all up to interpretation, but it still has to have substance. It’s nothing more than a bunch of hacks trying to get famous.
Bon-Bon: Well that’s rude. I had a good time.
Lyra: They serve food there?
Bon-Bon: No. Lyra: Garbage!
Bon-Bon: Is that… Granny Smith chasing Trixie?
Lyra: Heh heh, yeah.
Bon-Bon: Shouldn’t we, you know, help her?
Lyra: Mare, if you did something to cheese off Granny Smith that bad, you deserve what’s coming.
Bon-Bon: Hmm… How long has this been going on?
Lyra: Ah like four minutes. Bulk Biceps is out there too.
Bon-Bon: Oh, he’s a big guy.
Lyra: Yeah, that’s the real reason I ain’t goin’ out there.
Bon-Bon: Can’t blame you.
Lyra: You know, just… hanging out with Changelings at a party, eh heh heh… Nothin’ awkward about this…
Bon-Bon: Of course it isn’t! It’s refreshing to spend some time with Changelings and not have to punch them in the face, haha.
Pronotum: Yeah… That really hurt…
Bon-Bon: Oh gosh… You were one of them?
Elytra: One of them?
Lyra: Gettin’ awkward again…
Pronotum: No no. It’s okay. We’re past this. You did you. We did we.
Bon-Bon: Yeah. Pronotum: Yeah…
Elytra: Seriously though how many Changelings have you punched?
Lyra: Think I’m just gonna…. mosey on home. psst remember to give the password if you want me to unlock the door Ah ha ha! Bye now!
Lyra: Oh and the honey from the shower faucet was perfectly fine!
Bon-Bon: That was brief! I can’t sit on the toilet all day! I have work to do!
Lyra: It’s Saturday and the slower half of the year, don’t give me that crap.
Bon-Bon: Oh you’re going to get something when this passes!
Lyra: Just remember to flush every so often! HA! HA! HA!
Lyra: So I had just finished eating a cookie and I had to sneeze. So I sneezed through my mouth and I looked in the napkin and there was this bright crimson red and for just a moment I was all “Oh no! Bon-Bon’s killed me!“ And then I remembered it was a red velvet cookie I ate.
Bon-Bon: Geez, Lyra. It’s just a prank war. Nothing to lose your head over. By the way, you may want to forgo showering for the foreseeable future.
Lyra: Oh yeah? How about I just use your shower? Hmm? Checkmate!
[Pause]
Bon-Bon: Couldn’t lead her along any easier if you gave me a leash.
a nsa agent in a suit looking through my laptop camera: she’s on her phone…….. our data shows that she’s got tumblr open on her laptop but she has tumblr open on her phone………. double check her browser?
some nerd hired straight out of college: *types rapidly* she’s definitely got tumblr open on her laptop
the nsa agent, softly: so why is she looking at it on her phone…..
Bon-Bon: Don’t mind me. Just leaving this here. For someone.
