The Pen Pal

Telephone Conversation/Late At Night

The phone rings and is answered by Grogar. The pony on the other line is Sweetie Belle.

"Hello Grogar. I was just wondering if you happened to get my letters lately. And, by the way, I didn't know you had a telephone. How's it plugged in?"

"The phone line is hooked up to the wall of MY HOUSE. My house is neat and clean, not unkempt and shabby-looking."

"I'm sorry. I just read this book which gave me a very weird idea about your lifestyle. I guess that's why you didn't write me back."

"Right! I wanted to correct you but I thought your response would be belated anyway. Then again, a lot of my questions went unanswered."

"That's due to the boredom my answers would've caused. I mean, a mall is just one really big store with lots of little stores in it."

"If you're ever in the Griffon Kingdom, you'll find a lot of those. Our oldest and largest mall is the Arma Pasa."

At which point Rarity asks Sweetie Belle to help her work on a dress. Sweetie Belle says, "Hold on! I'll get to that in a minute!"

"Are you still on this line Sweetie Belle?"

"Yes. Sorry, but Rarity interrupted me again."

"Gretel does that all of the time. Usually this takes place when I really don't want to be disturbed. How does she know?"

"Indeed. I never thought that we'd have THIS much in common. Well, I guess I got to put away the phone and do whatever Rarity wants me to."

"OK, goodbye."

"Goodbye."


Garbo stops by, saying to Gregor, "Oh, um, um, was she able to reach 'Cheery Flowers'?"

Gregor says, "Come on Garbo. We have to be in school by 35 minutes or else we'll get slapped with a Tardy Card. And we can't talk to them now. It's late at night in Ponyville."

"Gee, you're right."


Back home, Rarity is in bed singing the "Daisy the Flower" theme in German; at this point, Sweetie Belle comes into her room, discovers this, and shouts, "RARITY! YOU NEED TO GET YOUR BEAUTY SLEEP! IT'S LATE!" Ultimately, she does so at the conclusion of the record.
