Friends who play together, stay together. That was the philosophy Rarity had in mind when she suggested she and Pinkie play a game of chess every week. Unfortunately for Rarity, however, Pinkie has a habit of changing the rules.

Lyra was relaxing on the small couch in the living room.

"hard day?" asked Lyra with a bemused smirk on her face.
"You have no idea" answered Bon Bon. with a deep sigh of delight she started to snuggle against Lyras chest.
