"We are joined to day by another person from Sunset's world, and don't worry, we asked Twilight to help magical seal the doors so there will be no disruption," Tempest sighed, thankful for Twilight's magical skills, "The door only recognises us and only we can enter and exit when needed, as well as have permission from others to come in and go as they please." Sunset managed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Anyway," Starlight chuckled, "Joining us to tell her story is the only and only Vignette Valencia!" Starlight welcome her to the who whilst the others clapped their hooves together.
"O.M. Gosh! Look at me as a pony. I have pony hooves, and a pony mane, and a pony tail and a pony everything! This is like, super crazy, you know what I mean?" Vignette waved a hoof to emphasis what she was saying, "This is like, super freaky."
"Have we been here before?" Trixie mocked towards the others.
"Too many times," Sunset giggled as she turned to their guest for today, "Focus, Vignette. Now tell us how you came across Equestrian Magic on your phone." Vignette rubbed her chin with a hoof in thought.
"It's hard to explain. It all started when I was planning this nighttime light parade at Equestria World, but the lead custom designer quit due to my, and I quote, overbearing demands," Sunset did a quote gesture with her hooves, "And so here I was, with no lead designer, munching on some stress salad when my phone went all, like, sparkly and fancy. To say I was shook was an understatement. I learnt that I could take a picture, make it disappear and project a hologram of the object in front of me. It was like, totally high-key."
Tempest quirked an eyebrow at Vignette's strange use of words. Sunset just smiled, knowing what she was going on about with phone talk and slang business.
"And ponies say I talk weird in the third person," Trixie huffed and rolled her eyes.
"And when did Sunset and her friends come into this?" Starlight urged Vignette on.
"I hired Rarity to be my next costume designer, and after learning she was part of a band with the others, I just had to get her and the girls to be centre stage at the parade. However, I wanted to shake-up the band to fit my vision, which of course the girls rejected. I started them trapping them, in what they thought was the phone, but instead I just teleported them into a white room in some corner of the theme park." Sunset groaned, causing Trixie to laugh.
"Wait, you thought you all were trapped inside the phone, but it was actual some random white room?" Trixie asked between fits of laughter. Sunset pouted with a blush on her face.
"And yet, Pinkie was the only one who figured it out and didn't bother to tell us," Sunset huffed. Vignette just chuckled.
"Totally LOL, right?" Vignette waved a hoof, "Anyway, somehow Applejack found out, but couldn't convince Rarity that I was up to something. It took Rarity seeing what I planned to do with the hologram versions of her friends to know what I had in mind. I she managed to escape being digitalised, and one of her friends, Applejack found where I trapped her friends. Rarity and her friends managed to stop me from digitalising the whole crowd and destroyed my phone, ending my plans."
"Did you learn anything from that experience?" Trixie asked next.
"I learnt that fame and virtuality can only get you so far," Vignette answered, "I got carried away with the things on my phone that I was missing out on the meaning of the real things around me. I got a bit carried away with my actions and plans."
"A little carried away/" Sunset smirked, causing Vignette to roll her eyes.
"Okay, a lot," Vignette sighed, "But me and Rarity made up at the music festival when she was having some crazy fashion crisis in the rain, and introduced Fluttershy to this new band and goth."
"Hold on," Sunset paused, "You got Fluttershy, the actual Fluttershy, into goth?"
"They may be goth, but they also talk about nature and animals you know?" Vignette smiled sheepishly. Sunset didn't know how to take the new information in.
"Starlight might like to join the goth-punk thing too," Trixie teased, causing Starlight to jerk in shock.
"It was just a phase!" Starlight groaned and facehoof.
"I think it's best to take a break here to save Starlight's dignity and help Sunset recover from her shock," Tempest sighed, "Thank you, Vignette, for coming onto the show and we will see you all again soon."
