Lyra: I love you. And I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to catch up. But if you’re willing to give me a chance-
Bon-Bon: Y-y-you’re not proposing are you?
Lyra: What?! N-no! I was just asking you to be my girlfriend! [Pause] D… do you… want me to-?
Bon-Bon: Gosh no! We can’t go from best friends/sisterly-whatever to engaged- that’s insane!
Lyra: Y-yeah, I-I kinda thought so!
Bon-Bon: Well, that was my target heart rate for the day! Gosh, I’m shaking!
Lyra: You… um… You never answered.
Bon-Bon: I didn’t. [Pause] “Just keep your eyes on me.”
[Long Pause]
Lyra: You’re waiting for me to say something so you can-
Bon-Bon: “Shut up and dance with me.”
Lyra: Oh~ well if you insist. [Pause] So, uh… what song are we listening to?
Bon-Bon: Hmm… Ahem. “Only yesterday, they told me you were gone. All these normal people, will I find another one?“
Lyra: Hey! You do listen to human music!
Bon-Bon: Well you blare it all through the house, how couldn’t I?
Lyra: Ahem. “And I awoke to fi~nd the burden lifted from your heart and soul. And I~ praise the light. I praise the light.”
Bon-Bon: Little off key but not bad. Um… Ahem. “So stand in the rain. Stand your ground. Stand up when it’s all crashing down.“
Lyra: Your range is ridiculous! How are you so much better at singing than me?
Bon-Bon: Lyra, I was in a four-mare choir.
Lyra: Whaaat? When?
Bon-Bon: Back in Manehattan. For almost five years. Has that never come up?
Lyra: No! [Pause] Sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt you.
Bon-Bon: Oh? “Stand through the pain, you won’t dro-wn. And one day what’s lost can be- found…“
