Sandbar: I DON’T NEED PREENING PRACTICE!

Yona: So Dragon no want preen?

Smolder: Well you’re welcome to give ‘em a massage if you’re bored. Muscles are muscles.

Yona: Yona gives best massages, Smolder will see!

Gallus: Isn’t preening a sort of…. intimate… thing though? Why would creatures openly ask to preen or be preened?

Silverstream: Wait… really? It’s a normal thing in Hippogriff culture! Everygriff helps each other! Flying is so important! Gotta look after ourselves! What about you ‘Celly?

Ocellus: Changeling wings are quite fragile but they can repair themselves very quickly! We’d still prefer not to damage them to begin with though.

Sandbar: Hey, isn’t that Yona’s blanket?

Silverstream:: Yuh-huh! Yona lent it to Ocellus. the poor girl looked frozen to bits!

Gallus: I don’t get it. Why don’t you just transform into something warm. Like a Dragon, or a Polar bear?

Ocellus: Cold temperatures, for some reason, mess with Changeling magic. I could change but I can’t get it completely right.

Yona: So changeling would turn into a bald bear?

Ocellus: Not exactly. Just I wouldn’t feel any warmer than I do now!

Smolder: And I guess you’d not feel any better as a Dragon too

Ocellus: No, I just get heartburn from being a Dragon.

Smolder: I cannot tell if you’re joking or not under all that wool.

Ocellus: But it’s only Monday!?!

Smolder: Exactly. It’s only Monday. We have four more days until the weekend.

Gallus: That’s a really negative way of looking at it.

Silverstream: Are you sure you’re not just upset that we have a paper due in for Professor Twilight?

Smolder: Wait… wut?

Silverstream: Yeah! That big long paper she’s been harping on about for weeeeeeks is due on Thursday!

Smolder: …I’m doomed…

Yona: No worry! Yona help Smolder?

Sandbar: Aww, that’s nice. Going to help her come up with ideas?

Yona: What? No. Yona not miracle worker. Yona was going to help put Dragon in box and mail her away.

Gallus: The changeling method!

Ocellus: That is not the changeling metho- Grrrnngh! *huffs and storms off*

Silverstream: How did you even get away with wearing that Smoldy?

Smolder: Professor Twilight was too focused on her lecture cue-cards to look at each of us!

Gallus: Although Spike kept giggling like a girl in the corner.

Ocellus: Wait, you were wearing it in that lecture? I was sat right next to you and didn’t see it!

Yona: Changeling was writing lots. Yona only wrote two pages and Ocellus wrote sixteen.

Sandbar: Wait, you counted?

Yona: Friend Ocellus draws little heart pictures in corner of page with the number. No need to count.

Silverstream: That. Is. Adorable.

Smolder: Where’s your Loyalty! I thought we had each others backs!

Gallus: I was being Honest. Also I didn’t want detention.

Yona: Dragon wasn’t very Kind to Counsellor Pony!

Silverstream: Come on! Even you couldn’t stop your Laughter Yona!

Sandbar: I think calling that simply ‘laughter’ is too Generous. She was on the floor!

Ocellus: Well don’t blame me when Counsellor Starlight blasts you with her Magic. She looks really mad.

Starlight: … forcing the Elements of Harmony into a conversation won’t save you, no matter how punny they are…

Silverstream: We could try to come up with some Kite ones?

Smolder: Most of those would just go over our heads though.

Gallus: Ba-dum-tsss.

Yona: Dragon set fire to Headmare Sparkle?

Sandbar: You cooked the Princess of Friendship?!?!

Smolder: Dude, calm down. She asked for it.

Gallus: Woah, I never knew you’d have the guts to pick a fight with an Alicorn.

Smolder: First of all - I’m a Dragon. I’m scared of nothing-

Ocellus: - Except Princess Luna -

Smolder: -SECONDLY, She literally asked for it. She wanted to do a study on dragonfire and it’s magical properties. She tried to tweak my innate magic. Then her mane caught fire on the next test.

SIlverstream: I always felt that Friendship causes a warm feeling in your tummy, now it causes warm feelings all over.

Ocellus: I guess that explains the fire extinguisher the Princess has been carrying around for the last few days…

Ocellus: And I said “Oh Come on! It’s not even a first edition!”

Smolder: And what did she say back?

Ocellus: I don’t know. She was too busy looking at her book collection  in realisation.

Silverstream: Hi Girls!

Yona: Oooh! Dragon Tea party? Can Yona join?

Smolder: Sure thing.

Sandbar: What abo-

Ocellus: Your teacup is already filled Sandy

Gallus: *peers*

Silverstream: Come on Gally! You know you want to!

Gallus: Fine

Ocellus: And make sure to bring that adorable power ponies mug!

Silverstream: Don’t be silly! You’re a cutie too Smoldywoldy

Smolder: Good *grumbles* And don’t forget it.

Sandbar: Really, being cute is overrated in Equestria.

Yona: Why ponies try to be cute all time? What does cute achieve?

Gallus: Free biscuits.

Ocellus: And lots of love energy.

Smolder: *arches an eyebrow*

Ocellus: What? The best way to get little tendrils of love from ponies before we changed was to appear cute in some form or other. Passive siphoning - and it hurt no-creature.

Silverstream: Gallus! That wasn’t funny! Coming as a Zombie Storm King is just mean! *pouts*

Gallus: Myeh. I scared you so I won. Is that kelp in your mane?

Silverstream: Yuh-huh! it seemed the easiest thing to finish off my appearance as the evil queen of the changelings.

Ocellus: Close enough. The horn was spot on Silver!

Gallus: That brings me onto you. Who on earth is scared of Princess Luna?

Smolder: Myeh. Dragons aren’t scared of anything. We’d go claw to claw with a hydra. But how do you fight your dreams? It’s unnerving!

Sandbar: I guess so. So you’re a dog Yona?

Yona: Yes! Yak is best dog. Griffon hates dogs! He keeps jumping into sky to avoid them

Gallus: Hmph. I do not!

Silverstream: You so do! You even make a little squeal.

Smolder: So Sandbar is Timberwolf?

Sandbar: Yup. Yona doesn’t like ‘em. Something about the creaking they make in the darkness. And you’re… a bat…

Smolder: a VAMPIRE bat!

Sandbar: Well you can just stay up there. Away from me. All night.

Students will return on Monday after their inevitable sugar crash!

Sandbar: So…. What flavour?

Smolder: *snickers*

Sandbar: What?

Gallus: He’s been caught in the Ice-cream net.

Ocellus: *giggles* Yep!

Yona: Sandbar thinks too late for ice-cream - and now wants one.

Sandbar: I was just asking the flavour!?!

Silverstream: It’s caramel! And you can have some *licks the spoon as she hugs a tub of ice-cream*

Sandbar: Hmph… Thank you…
