Sandbar: The bug enjoys looking at bugs?

Gallus: Maybe she’s hunting. Like a frog. Ready to pounce

Smolder: ‘Cell doesn’t eat bugs, birdbrain.

Gallus: That’s what she wants us to think *taps the side of his beak knowingly*

Yona: Changeling doesn’t eat bugs! Yona saw her eat cake!

Ocellus: Shhh! Leafcutter ants are fascinating! They’re building a colony in the canopy. Can you see it?

Sandbar: That’s going to fall on my head one day. I know it..

Silverstream: I feel like there should be something we should be talking about?

Gallus: It’s probably indigestion

Gallus: I really want to see through your eyes some day Ocellus.

Ocellus: Really? *Tilts head* Why?

Gallus: I picture everything being labelled with statistics. Like, each puzzle piece there has a percentage chance of causing collapse followed with a whole slew of other information… Windspeed, gravitational pull, structural composition. Maybe sugar content.

Ocellus: *wrinkles nose* I don’t see things like that! That’s just silly.

Yona: Yona read in book that some creatures see in different colours. Does friend Ocellus also see different?

Silverstream: Yeah! Like… even brighter pastel colours!

Smolder: Or maybe colours we don’t even know of?

Silverstream: Wait wait! What if she can’t see colours at all?

Sandbar: Scandalous!

Ocellus: *groans*

Smolder: Really guys? A week long sugar coma?

Gallus: Go away. It’s too early… and take the sun with you.

Silverstream: Yuuuh. S’too bright…

Yona: Friends not realise it is almost night…

Ocellus: Mmmm you’re rilly warm Smoldy.

Smolder: *deadpans* I’m a Dragon. Of course I’m warm, you chocolate-addled bookworm.

Yona: Why friends not learn. They do same thing every year.

Smolder: Because they’re dumb.

Gallus: ‘Least we have chocolate…

Sandbar: Had chocolate….

SIlverstream: Aww….

Gallus: ‘Cell… That’s disgusting. You may actually make me want to be sick.

Yona: Why is changeling licking window?

Ocellus: ‘Cause it tastes nice!

Yona: …

Gallus: …

Silverstream: *whispering comically loudly* I think she may have lost her mind!

Sandbar: Oooh! You found another one Ocellus! Gimmi! *licks the same window*

Smolder: is anycreature going to explain what is going on?

Ocellus: *licks her muzzle* It’s sugar glass! Sugarcube corner makes them every Nightmare Night. Here! *donks her hoof on the window, a small bit shatters free and lands on her hoof* See?

Sandbar: Why else do  you think ‘Cell and I let you lot had the majority of the sweeties for the last two years? We were always topped up with sweetness!

Gallus: *peers at Sandbar* You ponies will try to make anything edible.

Silverstream: *Flails* Wait! Princess Caddy was here?

Smolder: You mean Princess Cadence?

Ocellus: Cadance

Smolder: *groans* What’s the difference?

Smolder: Why didn’t any of you tell me??

Yona: Yona did tell. Dragon was sleeping.

Sandbar: Ditto. You were napping.

Silverstream: I tried, Smoldy, but you were snoozing so peacefully.

Gallus: I didn’t. You were laughing when Silver attacked me in a wrestling move.

Silverstream: It’s called a hug Gallus!

Smolder: *pouts* I don’t sleep that much… Why didn’t you tell me about the homework ‘Cell?

Ocellus: I was doing it in front of you in the library last week. I thought you were doing it too….

Gallus: What’s got you all happy and bouncing?

Ocellus: It’s Wednesday!

Yona: Yona still confused about why day so exciting.

Ocellus: Because this afternoon is study club!

Smolder: Again? Didn’t we have that like…. last week?

Sandbar: *snickers* I think that’s the jist of a weekly activity.

Silverstream: Aww… I wanna go too… But I’ve already finished the homework…

Smolder: Then you can give me yours, I can stay here, then you can go and do it again!

Silverstream: That’s an idea!

Everyone else: No!

Ocellus: Can I get out of the box now? And Sandbar put that camera down!!

Sandbar: *pokes his tongue out and continues snapping pictures*

Gallus: No. The dare was to stay in there for three more turns.

Smolder: Besides, you fits, you sits.

Ocellus: But I don’t fit. My legs are squished.

Sandbar: Can’t you just make yourself smaller if it’s too tight?

Silverstream: Nuh-uh! No magic!

Yona: Griffon is next! Truth or Dare?

Gallus: Dare

Silverstream: *throws another cardboard box at him* You know what to do, kittens.

Gallus: *deadpans* I hate you…

Silverstream: TWO YEARS? Already???

Ocellus: It feels like I’ve known you all my whole life!

Yona: Yona’s friends are best friends! Yona has had best two years of Yona’s life with friends!

Gallus: Yeah, There’ve been highs and lows, but we’ll overcome them!

Sandbar: That sounds especially sappy coming from you.

Gallus: *pokes tongue out* Nyah!

Smolder: *rolls eyes* Never change, you two.

Sandbar: Am I alone in thinking that made no sense?

Yona: Yona does not understand either.

Ocellus: It makes sense for those that it is meant to be understood by.

Gallus: That makes even LESS sense.

Silverstream: Wise words from our bookbug! Teach me more, oh wise one!

Smolder: The more it causes veins to pop on the boys temples, the more I want to hear. encore encore!

Twilight Sparkle: A student imparting her love of books. This is the happiest day of my life!! *squeals*
