Oh that last line is gonna come back to bite her. Or I could be reading the story wrong . Great work!

I kind of expected the twist given how careful you were about only referring to the paperwork as "the certificate," but that didn't make it any less amusing. Looking forward to whatever follows.

9373542 Apologies. It was erroneously marked 'incomplete'. This was just a one-shot for the Jinglemas contest. I don't have any (immediate) plans to continue it. Though I do enjoy the pairing.

But thank you, just the same.

It's a tongue-in-cheek play on the modern term of 'partner', similar to the bit from the movie, 'American Beauty', and how Hasbro treats them as 'best friends' in the show.

"Oh, yeah. That's why I was out here so long. I made a snow stallion."

"Don't you mean a snow pony?" Bonbon asked. Lyra giggled. Bonbon looked at it again and balked.

"Lyra! That's not where the coals and carrot are supposed to go!"

"Lyra, did you just assume snow pony's gender?"

Also, I didn't suspect that after ticking all the LyraBon boxes something in this fic would catch me off guard, but I didn't see that business partner thing coming...

I kinda agree with lyra on the mechanical approach.

That's why utility kilts exist.

"Actually, Mom, Dad, I have an announcement!" Bonbon said as she stood up. Lyra rose from her seat as well, standing close beside her and holding her hoof. "As of three days ago, Lyra and I are partners." Bonbon's parents gasped in shock. Bonbon and Lyra smiled as they looked at each other. "And I couldn't have asked for a better pony than my best friend to be my business partner!"

You damn troll!:rainbowlaugh: Knowing the Strongest Writer in the World, I should have seen that twist about the meaning of "partner" coming.

God fuckin damn it! :rainbowlaugh:

I'm conflicted on whether to give a like or not

9374064 Well I haven't given the like yet. Ha! Wait, ignore the yet!!!

*bangs head* I fell for it. I thought they were talking about being romantic partners. You got me.

I expected the bait and switch. Was half expecting the double switch, with the parents objecting to ethical perils of having a business partnership with your own wife.

9374236 A two-fer twist? Why not?
:twistnerd::twistnerd:

9374082 How about now with the new ending?

9374270 I think it would've been better to have it with the inital release. But still funny. You get the like.

Oh, hello, desk.

You’re in the way of my face .

I was about to hit "Like". But then I read the author's note. I mean, I hit Like, but... You owe me a new mouse.

Holy shit, I actually saw the business partners punchline coming!

But you know what? You still made me laugh. Now I'm a follower. :twilightsmile:

A cute little ending. Wished I read this before Christmas though. Well better late than never.

I had a giggle.

Also, Tear Jerker is kind of a horrifying name for a pony. Especially if they chose not to write sad stories.

"Oh hi, what's your name?"

"My name is Tear Jerker!"

"Wait, really? Are you serious?"

"No, I'm sad."

"Oh."

"Chronically. Forever. Please help me."

"Oh."

It's kinda like naming your horse kid Low Serotonin Levels and expecting everything to be okay.

I like it when you can pull a fast one on the readers. Like I did with the Prologue of As Hard As Velvet. Nicely done.

Bad idea to mix friends and business. Clearly some evil stallions have fucked them into a state of levity.

THEY'RE COMING FOR THE TITLE FROOT HORZ!
