“Do I really have to do this?”
“Of course, Rainbow Dash, you're one of us.”
“But Sweetie Belle...
“Ah ain't acceptin' no buts from ya. Now come along.”
“Aww... You too Apple Bloom?”
“Even if we're all in different bodies, we're still the Cutie Mark Crusaders.”
“I'm not singing the anthem...”
“Aww, but we always do it.”
“I'm still not doing it. Let's just get this over and done with...”
“Well, suit yerself. Ah guess we can skip it just this once.”
“Whew.”
“But next time, y'all gotta sing it with us.”
“You have got to be kidding... Wait, didn't you guys already try zip-lining?”
“We did?”
“Oh yea! Remember Sweetie Belle? We ended up covered in tree sap.”
“If you expect me to remember from that... then 70% of all our attempts are like that.”
“Ah still dun get how we ended up covered in tree sap when we tried pottery.”
“What?”
“It's ok Rainbow Dash. We're experienced Cutie Mark Crusaders. We understand if you're nervous about your first time.”
“Yea, but... I'm not Scootaloo. She has to find her own cutie mark. It wouldn't count if I found it for her. Heck, I don't even know if that's possible.”
“...”
“She's got a point Apple Bloom.”
“Ah guess she does, but it just don't feel right if we just do it the 2 ah us.”
Sigh. “Fine... But, let's try something a little different than what you've been doing all this time.”
“What do you have in mind?”
“Well Sweetie Belle, tell me about some things you like to do.”
“Oh, I like cooking, though Rarity doesn't like it when I do.”
“I heard you nearly burned down the Apple's house... making apple juice, which you burned in the process. Cooking is not your special talent... Trust me, I know. I can't cook at all either. Burned down my house once.”
“But ya live in a cloud.”
“I know, crazy isn't it? Anything else Sweetie Belle?”
“Okay, um... I like helping Rarity, but she gets mad whenever I try to help her.”
“I hear you Sweetie Belle, but you have to understand, Rarity is... very peculiar about how she has her home and business laid out.”
“You can say that again... I try to help her by cleaning up her work room, and she got mad because I cleaned it up, and she called it her inspiration room.”
“Still, I heard she got a wonderful idea for her lineup, and those dresses did look pretty nice.”
“I guess so... hmm... I like singing.”
“Yea, I've heard from Fluttershy. You really turned up the beat on that lullaby. She said that while it was loud, and startled her, she did have to admit, it sounded really good.”
“R... Really? Rarity prefers her workplace to be nice and quiet. I don't think I've ever sang around her... or anybody else but us and Fluttershy.”
“You should write a song about how much you love your sister. Just an idea.”
“That's a wonderful idea, thank you Rainbow Dash.”
“Oof. No need to hug me that tight Sweetie Belle... Thanks, I can breathe again.”
“An' what 'bout me?”
“Well, we know you can't sing, and sewing... you're as talented as your sister, trust me, I know what I'm talking about. And a lot of the other things you've tried, well, most of them are things ponies do as hobbies, though pottery, cooking, sculpting and trades like that are common special talents.”
“So... what's mah special talent? Ah know it's gotta be something to do with apples. Mah family is always about apples.”
“What about your Uncle and Aunt Orange? Or your other cousin Peach Shine?”
“Ooh, We dun talk bout her much.”
“Why not?”
“Cause she's only half apple, on one ah mah cousin's side. He dun married into the Peach family an' they had her. She dun like us Apples much anyway.”
“Didn't Applejack call her a little BitMFFF!!!”
“Sweetie Belle, Y'all know better than to repeat what AJ said 'bout her after she tried that peach drink.”
“Oh yea... I still wonder why they didn't let us try any.”
“Ooh, I remember that day... kinda... at least a little. Peach Shine makes some really strong grown up drinks. Anyway, back to what you like to do.”
“Ah dun know. Ah mean... Ah tried everythin' to do on the farm, but Ah still ain't got mah cutie mark.”
“Hmm...”
“What is is Dash?”
“I know one thing you've not done... though AJ might not be happy if I helped you.”
“What's that?”
“Making Apple Cider.”
“Oh, that's grown up drink, isn't it Apple Bloom?”
“Sure is. Ain't never tried it though.”
“And as the responsible adult here...”
“Hey, we're both older than ya.”
“Oh yes, we are, aren't we?”
“Hey, why are you looking at me like that? Aww no... HELP!!!”
...
“Hey there Fluttershy.”
“Oh, hello Applejack. Are you here to help with picking the apples again?”
“Yea. Ah helped Rarity best Ah could with her sewin. She ain't never used herself as a model before, so Ah got mahself roped into it.”
“How is her sewing going? I've been so busy here with helping the farm animals as best I can, and helping sort out the garden... I'm so sorry about that.”
“Ah, don't sweat the small stuff. Rare's doin pretty good, makin good use ah Dash's hooves, really good co-ordination she said. Anyway, Ah know ya can grow a nice garden, ya got one at your place.”
“Oh, I know. I love growing those fresh veggies for the animals.”
“Yea, an' they all look real good. Just go an' do what ya do with yer garden here.”
“I was so stressed out, I didn't even think about that. You are so right Applejack. Thank you.”
“Aww, don't ya worry yer pretty lil' head 'bout it.”
“It's your pretty lil' head Applejack.”
“Oh, heh, yea, so it is. Been only a short while an' Ah'm starten to get used to WHAHAHAHAHA!!!”
“Applejack? Oh no, Rarity's special talent... Please, come back Applejack!!!”
“Ah would if Ah could Sugarcube, Ah would if Ah could.”
“Again?”
“Oh, Big Mac... um... Yes, Rarity's special talent again. Will you help go get her?”
“Eeyup.”
...
(If I get this amulet as my cutie mark, I'm going to scream...)
...
“Ok, and the balloons, you can't forget the balloons.”
“I know Pinkie. I ordered extras, and more streamers, because I know you love them so much.”
“Oh thank you so much Twilight.”
“Good, check on the balloons and streamers, how about the birthday cake with Happy Birthday Dinky Do.”
“I have that baking in the oven right now. It will be ready in about ten minutes.”
“Perfect. Check on the cake. Um... what else?”
“Music.”
“Gotta be something cute, for for Dinky and all her friends, right?”
“She told me she likes Vinyl Scratch.”
“Hmm, I don't think it would be a problem to ask her to play her music live, would it? She lives to play music after all.”
“Yep, she sure does. Oh, and we can't forget the games.”
“We have pin the tail on the pony, with Velcro. Can't have young fillies playing with sharp pins.”
“Good idea. Hmm, We have the punch, Hopefully Berry Pinch isn't like her mom.”
“No, she really likes making juice, and she told me once she tried her mom's drink, but didn't like it at all because it made her all woozy and dizzy and... um, right. Next?”
“All sorts of snacks.”
“Chips, dips, veggie platters... Applejack is making some of her special birthday apple tarts.”
“Ooh, those are yummy.”
“No eating them all like you did last time.”
“Fluttershy told me not to eat a lot of sweets while I'm her. Honestly, I really haven't eaten any at all, and I feel just fine. Funny isn't it? Have you been following my dietary requirements?”
“Yea... I'm full of energy... How can you eat almost nothing but pastries and sweets anyway? When I get back to myself, I don't know if I'll be able to eat any of those for a while.”
“You just stick to what you like eating.”
“I plan on it. I've noticed that Terra tends to eat very little, but my body looks just as fit as ever.”
“No changing the subject, we have a party to plan.”
“Right, so... where were we? Snacks and drinks... Check. You should go check on the cake now.”
“Oh, right. Thank you Twi.”
...
“Why did I have to take a carriage? Flying would have been so much faster... Hey Driver? Can we go any faster? I really need to get home.”
“Sorry Master Spike, we must adhere to the speed laws.”
“Alright, alright. I'm going to take a nap. Wake me when we get there.”
“Of course Master Spike.”
...
“...”
“...”
“It's so quiet in this library... Maybe I should get out... but I really want to finish this jewelry... I feel so naked...”
...
(I heard somepony... I'M IN HERE!!! Somepony, please find me... Please...)
“Hmm, we've searched everywhere for that amulet.”
“I know... I really can't think of anyplace else it could be.”
(How about the Lost and Found? Seriously... I'm right here, only a length away.)
“Hey, have we searched the lost and found?”
“Don't be silly. If it was found, we'd hand it over to the princess. All us servants and all the guards know it's really important for her that we do find it. There's no way it would have ended up in there.”
“Yea, I guess you're right.”
“Of course I am.”
(You're both idiots...)
...
“Lyra?”
“Yes Bon Bon?”
“I really love your music. It's so relaxing.”
“Then play that song I taught you again.”
“Only if you go make some candy.”
“Ugh, you and my sweet tooth... whatever happened to the diet idea?”
“We're still on it. I... I just want to taste something sweet and yummy.”
“You're getting as bad as I am...”
“I know.”
“What are you giggling for?”
“Sorry. Ok, how did that song go again?”
“You start here, yea. Perfect. Just let my magic guide you... and I'll make us one piece of candy each.”
“Really?”
“Of course. But only one piece.. I'm sticking to your diet, so you can at least keep my body on it too.”
“Of course, and Lyra?”
“Yea?”
“I really do love you.”
“I love you to. I'll just be in the kitchen.”
“And I'll be here playing our song.”
...
“I am so in the zone...”
“...”
“My wings are twitching... Darn it. I can't stop thinking about trying to fly... Come on Dashie. Hurry up and get home so you can teach me to fly... What am I saying... I have to get this dress done before the client shows up...”
...
(La de da... So... BOOOOOORRRRRED!!!!... Hey, I know, I'll imagine I'm riding my scooter, in the sky with Rainbow Dash, yea... ZOOM!!! Here I come Rainbow Dash, I'm going to make my own sonic rainboom!)
...
“Master Spike, we have arrived.”
“Huh? What? Already?”
“Yes Master Spike.”
“Thank you.”
“You are most welcome.”
...
“DRAGON!!!”
“Huh? What? Twilight? Oh wait, you're Terra, right?”
“G... Get away from me. I don't want to be eaten. Where's my dragon sleeping herbs...”
“Um... I'm Spike, you know... Twilight's assistant? Her Number One assistant?”
“Y... You are? Of course you are... If you don't mind... could you, um, run along and find Twilight for me?”
“Where is she?”
“Oh, I should have paid more attention when she told me where she was going, something about... um dink?... penis?... I think she's going to hang out with some coltfriend and do adult things.”
“Huh what? What ARE you talking about?”
“Please... Just... go, find her... I... I'll, um... I'll be building myself a panic room.”
“You are one crazy mare...”
“Crazier than you think, but that aside... shoo. Begone.”
“Ugh... Mares... I'll never understand them...”
...
“You know, I think I will look in the Lost and Found.”
“Feel free. There's never anything valuable in there... I mean, look at that stinky old sock right on top.”
“Eew. That's gross.”
“Wait... I think that's one of those socks that Princess Celestia gave Princess Luna for her last birthday.”
“The ones that Princess Luna only wore once before she said a rogue squirrel stole them?
“Yea, those ones.”
“Why does it smell like it was in the garden fertilizer pile?”
“Oh just shush and search.”
“Is that an egg salad sandwich?”
“Wow, I lost that a week ago, I wondered where it went.”
“Oh you are NOT going to eat that...”
“What? It still smells ok.”
“I think I'm going to be sick...”
(Huh? Wait. Going to be sick? No... nonono. Do NOT get sick in the lost and found... PLEASE DO NOT GET SICK IN THE... OH EEEEEEWWWWW!!!)
...
To Be Continued...
Authors note: I've never tried a dialogue only chapter before, I thought I'd try it to see just how... interesting it could be. To be honest, after I wrote it, I read it, and I was able to see everything that was going on in the dialogue. I really hope your imagination was able to do the same thing.
