Smolder: And the Griffon is knocked down another peg. How’re you doing down there Gallus?

Gallus: Casually sulking whilst studying.

Sandbar: So, the usual?

Gallus: Eeeyup.

Ocellus: I quite like that our teachers aren’t so “Prim and Proper”. It makes them seem more like their elements?

Silverstream: Don’t let Professor Rarity hear you say that. “Prim and Proper” is here big thing!

Yona: Yona agrees. Professor is Yak-like with manners and dresses!

Sandbar: DEFINITELY Don’t let Professor Rarity hear you describe her as Yak-like…

Silverstream: Heeeey Yona! Whatcha eating?

Yona: *swallows* Rock Candy.

Gallus: Wait, you can eat that stuff? I thought it was just a phase Professor Pinkie was going through.

Smolder: Oooh. Does it taste like Gems? Tell me it tastes like gems!

Yona: *blinks* Rock candy tastes like rock candy. Yona not eaten gems before.

Smolder: You should! They’re a delicacy. It fills your belly in all the right ways.

Ocellus: I don’t know. I tried Gems once when shape-shifting and it just felt like i was swallowing gravel. Yick!

Sandbar: Ouch

Smolder: I know! isn’t it great!?!

Yona: Why Sandbar so protective of ball?

Sandbar: It’s bouncy! Proper bouncy balls are hard to come by these days.

Silverstream: I guess. But you’re treating it more like an egg than a ball! Being super protective!

Smolder: So where did you get the ball?

Sandbar: It was floating in the waters outside the school. I got it after Gallus pushed me in.

Silverstream: Gallus!

Gallus: Hey! Ocellus pushed me in directly after! I think we need to even everything out and drag her in too.

Ocellus: Hey! Stay away!

Silverstream: I think you’re taking this a little too seriously ‘Celly! Cats did nothing wrong!

Gallus: I’m sure they’ve done plenty wrong. Look at Professor Rarity’s monster.

Sandbar: Yeah, It’s just a fun thing to watch people struggle to not think about something deliberately

Ocellus: Oh I see! It’s like a feedback system, where you try not to think about it, but by trying to not think about it, you’re thinking about it!

Gallus: Wait. Are you all ignoring me?

Smolder: Exactly ‘Cell!

Gallus: STOP “NOT THINKING ABOUT CATS”!

Yona: Anycreature hear a noise?

Silverstream: How could you say something like that about a baby so cute and cuddly and adorable and fluffy and-

Ocellus: -Theoretical.

Sandbar: Why’re you even taking this so personally?

Gallus: I think Silver’s taking it personally because of her pride of cuteness and adorableness. I’m just doing it for the sake of everygriff who wasn’t here who would obviously grumble like an old fart.

Yona: What does Griffon himself think about small creature name?

Gallus: I’d probably side with Smolder on this one, personally. Both sound ridiculous.

Smolder: Great minds think alike.

Silverstream: Gallus! How could you?!?

Sandbar: I don’t see the logic to the naming conventions, really. It just seems to be a pick of your parts.

Ocellus: Yeah. In most cases it’s based around the head of the creature. Which is why Hippogriffs are “Chicks”, Minotaurs are “Calves” and Hydras are “Hatchlings”

Gallus: We probably do it just to spite you.

Yona: Griffon isn’t very nice! Changeling friend!”

Gallus: No, I mean “We” as Griffons overall. We excel at being inconvenient.

Silverstream: Sounds about right.

Smolder: So confusing. Why can’t you be normal like the rest of us?

*pop*

Gallus: And how much damage did it cost to have the school repaired over the weekend?

Yona: Headmare Twilight said something about Emergency Yakyakistani Refurbishment Bursary. Said it was covered!

*pop*

Ocellus: Wow! Princess Twilight really plans for everything!

Smolder: Clearly not everything, or she would have had shock-absorbers built around the mountain.

Sandbar: Oh, and she wouldn’t have let a little filly try to destroy the concept of magic from within her own school

*pop*

Silverstream: Come on! You can’t plan for everything!

Gallus: Doesn’t stop her from trying. Speaking of which, when are you allowed to be removed from that bubble-wrap, Yona?

*pop*

Yona: After weekend *grumble*..

Yona: Yona can’t even.

Gallus: See. I’d mock that. Openly. But I’m actually quite unnerved that she may have a degree of power over me now.

Sandbar: Nah. She’s in Equestria, not Seaquestria or Mount Aris. She has no power here.

Gallus: I suppose so. Hey Silver! Your flag is naff!

*whack* *bonk*

Smolder: Yeah. You irritate a Hippogriff with delusions of grandeur WHILST she’s armed with a big stick, you had that coming. Birdbrain

Ocellus: Also I guess she does count as a diplomat of sorts. We all are.

Silverstream: Except Sandy. He’s just an ordinary Pony.

Sandbar: An Ordinary pony with access to cupcakes.

Silverstream: I hereby dub thee, “Royal Cupcake Provider”.

Yona: Yona going to bed.

Smolder: Is it normal for royalty to keep popping up every few days around Ponyville?

Yona: Dragon knows that headmare is Princess Twilight Sparkle?

Gallus: I just assumed Princess was a standard title that half the population has. You know. Princess Twilight, Princess Pinkie Pie, Princess Sandbar

Sandbar: *arches brow* Really?

Silverstream: Ooooh! Can I be a Princess too? Princess Silverstream has a nice ring to it.

Smolder: I thought you were the queens Niece. Doesn’t that already make you a Princess?

Silverstream: Oh yeah! Henceforth I shall be PRINCESS SILVERSTREAM!

Ocellus: *pats Sandbar’s arm* I’m sure you’d be a lovely Princess.

Sandbar: Well that goes without saying.

Ocellus: I don’t want to be like her! I Don’t want to! *whimpers*

Silverstream: *cuddles the bug* Shhh. Shh. It’s okay. They didn’t mean it like that sweetling.

Yona: Yeah! Changeling will be her own creature! If no want to be queen, then doesn’t have to be one!

Smolder: Besides, hiding behind furniture isn’t really the best look for royalty.

Gallus: Wow. You don’t pull punches, do you?

Smolder: Myeh. I’m not wrong.

Sandbar: Ocellus is more prone to scaring herself than anyone else. Makes Nightmare Night very amusing.
