Gallus: I don’t think she heard a word of what you said. She’s too busy being… tree.

Yona: Nuh uh! Yona heard. Tree makes friends smile. Makes friends be better friends! Helps make more friends. Yona want to be like that. Yona wants to be like Hearth’s Warming Tree.

Smolder: That’s… surprisingly deep for you, Yona.

Silverstream: So… Yona would like to be a tree?

Sandbar: Professor Fluttershy would have a field day with that.

Ocellus: Really? I didn’t know she was into Botany!!

Sandbar: Not exactly.

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….

Sandbar: I really should get my mane trimmed. It’s beginning to tickle my nose…

Gallus: Y’know.. I never noticed it was getting longer. It just always seemed to stay the same.

Smolder: At least when we’re not changing it into other styles.

Sandbar: Yes. Except for then.

Silverstream: Ooooh! Can I do it Sandy? I’ve been getting better at mane styling!

Ocellus: Has Strawberry Scoop spoken to you yet after last time?

Silverstream: Oh pleeeease. We’re besties! She’s totally forgiven me.

Yona: Pony still pouting at Silverstream isn’t she?

Silverstream: Just a little…

Ocellus: Last Week?? That’s disgusting!

Smolder: No it’s not. It’s opportunistic .

Silverstream: Ewww. You’re both gross Gally and Smoldy! Haven’t you heard of the three second rule?

Gallus: Yeah. Three seconds and you forfeit it. Not forfeiting this cookie though…

Yona: Also Griffon had three toys. Griffon stole princess toy from Dragon.

Smolder: It wasn’t mine! I just happened to have it in my room…

Sandbar: So you were in possession of it.

Ocellus: She sometimes uses it as a pillow.

Smolder: ‘CELL!

Gallus: Yeah, yeah. I’m coming already, and I have the goods.

Sandbar: So who’re we missing?

Smolder: Yona and Silverstream are practicing swimming again.

Gallus: “Practicing”. I swear Silver is drowning the poor girl.

Ocellus: Yona’s getting a lot better at swimming I’ll have you know!

Sandbar: Yeah but it’s getting colder. Surely swimming in this temperature must be the worst.

Smolder: Yona’s basically immune to all things cold - and don’t knock Silver’s resistance either. Now enough yapping. I was told there’d be cupcakes?

Silverstream: Did someone say Cupcakes? *glomps Ocellus idly*

Ocellus: Eek! *falls over*

Yona: Cakes best! *stomps and cheers happily*

Gallus: Mentioning baked treats is like casting a teleportation spell with you two…

Smolder: What even is that thing you made?

Sandbar: I dunno. I just folded paper…

Silverstream: Hey guys! Guess what’s tomorrow?

Gallus: …Saturday?

Silverstream: Aww… You guessed!

Gallus: Well you asked us to guess.

Silverstream: Yeaaah. But I was hoping you’d miss the obvious option and start suggesting things we normally do on the weekend and then I could be all smart and Smolder-like and go “Naw! It’s Saturday you sillies” then you’d all laugh at my amazing pun and lavish me with praise…

Smolder: Shame how things don’t turn out as planned.

Ocellus: *tilts her head to the side*

Yona: Why changeling confused.

Ocellus: I don’t know how she can speak that much in ONE breath…

Sandbar: Y’know… as sneaky and cruel as that was, it actually makes me want a beard when I get older.

Silverstream: Sandbeard!

Gallus: Then you can learn to play a lyre like your O and O character.

Ocellus: -And become Sandbeard the Bard! Yes!

Yona: What about Beardy Sandbard?

Smolder: I’ll only take him seriously if he grows a big curly moustache now…

Coral: Saaaaanddyy. Let go. I wanna play.

Sandbar: Let your older brother have this for just a moment

Coral: *pouts*

Gallus: You’re such a softie.

Smolder: Like you don’t consider yourself her adopted uncle.

Gallus: Shush, Auntie Smolder

Ocellus: *giggles* You two are precious.

Silverstream: Now Gally, you must set a good example for your niece! No bullying Sandy.

Yona: But Griffon not related to pony?

Sandbar: Let’s face it, you’re all her honorary uncles and aunts.

Yona: Ooh! Then little pony is honorary Yak! Yona teach her all she needs to know!

Smolder: Oh dear…

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.
