Gallus: I think you got her height wrong. Maybe that’s the truly terrifying thing, a moderately larger Smolder

Ocellus: *pouts* Like you could do any better

Gallus: Well duh.. Tall Smolder is weird…

Silverstream: *squees* I can’t wait for Smolder to grow! Then I can give her biiiiig hugs and she won’t complain about being crushed.

Smolder: I think were I to become as big as a mountain, you’d still manage to crush me.

Yona: Crush hugs are the best. Shows true friendship.

Sandbar: So long as you allow enough breathing to happen, or true friendship won’t last long

Yona: Yona will consider.

Smolder: Okay, I’ve waited long enough. Gimmi, ‘Cell.

Ocellus: *deadpans* That lasted a whole three minutes. I’m proud of you.

Sandbar: Since you’re so unaffected by the heat, you can go to Sugarcube Corner and bring us some ice cream

Ocellus: Oooh! Yes please Smolder!

Smolder: Ugh… fine…

Silverstream: You’re so lucky Smoldy! I have to put lots of coat protection when I have a bath to keep the sun rays safe!

Smolder: Oh yeah, your coat is fairly short during the summer. Wasn’t that an issue when you were living in the ocean?

Ocellus: I know when I go swimming, I get a lot more toasty than if I was lying on the grass!

Silverstream: Nope! We were far enough underwater that the sun’s rays don’t really reach us. What about Griffons, Gallus?

Gallus: There’s no such thing as sun in Griffonstone. Too much cloud cover.

Yona: Griffon not considered being weathergriffon and clearing clouds for everycreature?

Gallus: Nope.

Gallus: Seriously. What is with water with the depth of a puddle here?

Sandbar: Stop complaining Gally, and fight back!

Silverstream: Hey Yona! Pass the ball to me!

Yona: Yona can not.

Silverstream: Awww.. Why?

Smolder: Because it hasn’t come down yet. It’s still going up.

Ocellus: And up…

Gallus: And up…

Sandbar: And up… Hey! There’s Professor Das- Oh…

Smolder: At least the ball is coming back down…

Yona: Friends with wings should probably try and catch Professor pony…

Gallus: I don’t get it. How come that big fleece doesn’t overheat you?

Yona: Yona sheds some of her fleece in summer.

Sandbar: Yeah, but you still seem to have the same amount of it regardless!

Silverstream: She’s a lot less sproingy when I glomp her in summer!

Ocellus: Externally she won’t look different, but the undercoat is a lot thinner and means that less heat will make it from the outer coat inside.

Smolder: That sounds way too complex for a Friday…

Sandbar: So… do I want to know why Smolder and Ocellus are pursuing Gallus at top speed around the school courtyard?

Silverstream: *noms on some popcorn* Gallus put a bucket of water over Ocellus’ door.

Yona: Dragon was with Changeling *chews loudly* Both got wet.

Sandbar: Huh…. Fair enough. We got bets going?

Yona: Four to one Dragon catches Griffon.

Sandbar: That’s fair. He’s a better flyer. And ‘Cell?

Silverstream: Two to one.

Sandbar: *blinks* That high?

Silverstream: He got her books from the library wet.

Sandbar: Right.  *pinches some nibbles* Ten bits on Ocellus leaving more teeth marks and two on Smolder setting him on fire.

Ocellus: Oh Shush! I can imagine cuteness.

Smolder: No. You can’t.

Yona: *pawing through inbox* Now mentioned, lots of notes about romance. Ponies so focused on it.

Sandbar: Well It did pretty much save Equestria about as many times as the Elements of Harmony have…

Gallus: That’s a point. ‘Cell, how come you changelings got bounced away by a love-barrier when you eat  the stuff?

Ocellus: *frowns* First, I wasn’t there. I was just a littleling. Second, you drink water don’t you?

Gallus: Well duh…

Ocellus: And you can also drown. Same principle.

Smolder: Wow… dark… I’m proud of you ‘Celly.

Silverstream: Don’t worry Gally! I won’t let you drown! I’ll turn you into something with my necklace!

Sandbar: Pleasebeacatfishpleasebeacatfish….

Smolder: That wasn’t an invitation to try, Silver…

Silverstream: Who’s trying?? I succeeded! *bounces happily*

Gallus: Okay. Who gave her the last of the ice cream we had-

Silverstream: Gally! Hugs! *glomps*

Gallus: ACK!

Ocellus: *hides behind Smolder* Why don’t you like people touching your tail?

Yona: Yona thinks because it Dragon point of weakness.

Sandbar: I know why *snickers*

Smolder: Don’t you dare tell them.

Sandbar: It’s because she loses almost all balance when you touch it whilst she’s walking *laughs before running away*

Ocellus: Oooooh. Equilibrioception . Interesting.

Smolder: *angry blushing* SANDBAR! GET BACK HERE! I said not to tell them!

Twilight: *frowns* I don’t want to have to deal with a party-cannon-initiated diplomatic incident. Again.

Pinkie Pie: It was just three itty bitty party cannons

Twilight: Which you fired at the ambassadors face! All at once!

Pinkie Pie: Psshaw. He was fine.

Twilight: A week later!

Gallus: Y’know… Sometimes… just sometimes…. our teachers scare me.

Ocellus: Y-yeah….

Silverstream: What’re you talking about? They’re great!

Smolder: Ponies never do anything half-way. It’s either dull or full blown crazy here.

Yona: Yaks approve of Pink Pony. Yona side with her.

Sandbar: I don’t think this is something we should be picking sides for…

Yona: Dragon get fat if she eats too many gems.

Smolder: No I won’t

Gallus: You kinda will,

Ocellus: No she won’t

Smolder: *munches* See?

Sandbar: Care to explain?

Ocellus: She’s eating an Aquamarine which contains beryllium. Dragons absorb the beryllium and it helps them modulate their own internal temperature. Dragon diet changes depending on their metabolism.

Silverstream: So Smoldy eats gems to stop setting herself on fire?

Smolder: Basically.

Gallus: Still gonna get fat.

Sandbar: Maybe she’ll just burn it off *snickers*

Gallus: Is it just me or did that explain nothing?

Sandbar: It wasn’t just you

Silverstream: Oooh, ‘Celly! Got any more unusual dragon facts?

Ocellus: Um…. Dragons are historically known to charge into trees mouth-first in order to force large gems down their throats in order to prevent nearby dragons from stealing some.

Smolder: *gags* Really? Sounds stupid

Yona: Yona can practice with friend Smolder on her drying tree! Can exchange tips!

Ember: You have some strange friends.

Smolder: You started it.
