Fluttershy walked into Sugar Cube Corner, pausing only momentarily as she saw a grey pegasus and a tan stallion were engaged in a muffin-eating contest. If the trays were any indication, the mailmare was leaving him in the dust. "...oh, my...I hope somepony is going to pay for their food..."
She broke off from that train of thought, approaching the counter and her pink friend. "Hello, Pinkie Pie. Could I please have a slice of lemon pie?"
She grinned, bouncing to the back to get her order.
At that moment, the front door burst open, an upset unicorn storming into the establishment. A tan mare followed right behind her, sadness etched in her every feature. "Please, give me another chance!"
"To what?" The unicorn rounded on the other pony, drawing the stares of everypony in the room. "To break my heart again? To call me worthless and ridicule my music career?" She turned away, a single tear sliding down her cheek. "I...I just can't, Bon Bon..."
The mare recoiled as if she was struck. "...I...I wasn't in control...t-that was all Discord...y-you know how he made everypony act strangely..."
She just glanced back at her ex-marefriend, trying her best to hold her tears back. "...you can't..." She sighed, turning away and, coincidentally, staring right at the timid yellow mare. A sad smile crossed her lips. "...could you please help us, Fluttershy?"
Fluttershy found herself behind the turntables once more, worriedly wondering what could have caused such a rift between the loving mares in front of her. The outcome didn't worry her so much; either way, they'd most likely get back together. What worried her was the reason Lyra wanted the rap battle. That, and she didn't get to eat her slice of lemon pie.
Meanwhile, said mares were getting ready to start the rap battle. Lyra was wearing a strange ensemble, but, to her credit, Pinkie had worn the exact same exercise suit once before for the Cake twins. Both had the headsets on, a determination in both their faces.
Checking the sound levels once more, she started the music up, putting on the shades that Rainbow Dash lent her at the same time.
EPIC RAP BATTLES OF MLP!
VS.
BEGIN!
...PLEASE?
Oh look, Miss Sweet Tooth's come crawling back
But if you want me again, you gotta step up your act,
'Cause when you left, I had a revelation
Somethin' deep inside, a true realization
I can do better! I can get much more
Than a silly baker that, to love, is a chore!
You change your voice like Rarity does fine frocks.
Too bad you can't change how you act like a rock!
You know what, Lyra? You're making me ill
With your little dreams of humans playing king of the hill
It's a stupid lie, but one that's just to yourself
Making you just as crazy as Pinkie Pie's elf.
You know, G-String, you really shouldn't mess with US!
I'm the one supporting you since your career went bust!
You think we don't know how you pass the time?
You sit in that chair clopping while you're on the line.
Make fun of my music; I know you love the sound.
I could play right now, and you'd come back around!
Bonnie, I wasn't the one who broke us apart
You really don't care that you broke my heart?
You wanna talk selfish? You don't know how lucky you are!
Who wants to be chased around just to be a star?
A Background Pony is what you need to be -
The one who they'll forget as soon as you leave!
WHO WON? WHO'S NEXT? YOU DECIDE!
IF IT'S NOT A PROBLEM, I MEAN...
EPIC RAP BATTLES OF MLP!
Okay, so this rap battle had a huge help from xxsilverliningxx, who got the ball rolling with the first few lyrics, and dashie76, who gave us ideas on some ideas for rap battle topics and also contributed lyrics. Which is a good thing, since I probably wouldn't be able to start a rap battle between these two. They just seem so perfect together! ^^;
Anyways, think of this chapter as my apology for giving you a slice-of-life chapter yesterday. :p Oh, and there's a new rule: characters have to wait about nine rap battles after their last one (that's how many were between Lyra's rap battles) before they can have another one. There are no exceptions to this rule.
Also, there will likely be a Q&A chapter after rap battle number 20. If you're wondering why I'm mentioning it this early, it's because I may have to resort to using it earlier than that.
Have a nice day, and please don't forget to audition for the rap battle parts!
Enigma out.~
I vote Bon-Bon, for that Background Pony reference.
Oh god those references.
Bon-Bon. Just... Just for the references.
Well, that, and Lyra's lines felt weak.
Lyra I think but it was close.
I think I see what you did there.
And Bon Bon won.....
Lyra all the way!
Tough call on this one........ I guess I have to go with Lyra.
Bon-Bon won this one, as Lyra's one crazy pony to believe in humans.
BonBon I'm sorry Lyra I'm doin it for Wubsy
Bon Bon won
trufely, I didn't chose, but I have to say Bon-Bon, mostly because she actually struck hard with the background pony reference
First off, Bon-Bon is more of a cream than a tan. And I'm thinking Lyra. I'm not sure that Pinkie has an elf...
Lyra.
Never thought i'd see the day.
I have to hand that to Bon-bon. She did win.
This is the first rap battle where I'm undecided, especially since the two were a match made by the fandom (hehehe)
The references were good, but I couldn't really get into this one for some reason
I'll leave to my fellow readers of this wondrous fic
I think Bon Bon won.
DAMN BON BON I FELT THAT LAST ONE!!!! Sorry Lyra
Bon Bon won.
I have to go with Bon Bon on this one.
bon bon all the way
have to go with bon-bon. the background pony reference just shot lyra down, even if it's an alternate universe.......or is it?
Bon Bon.
I mean I didn't really care for her lyrics...until she killed the end.
So yeah Bon Bon is a closer lol.
BON BON I Swear if she downtown win because her lines were better; I'm gonna quit this series. There are so many fails and Lyra did the biggest one.
Lyra won this round. It was close, but still pretty clear.
Since I'm getting in on this relatively early, I think I'll vote this time. I gotta go Lyra. Am I a little biased? Maybe. But I still think Lyra won.
Why do you make me break up the best background friendship in the fandom?
...*sigh*
Bon Bon... just barely.
What better way to solve break up right?
Bon Bon by a country mile
Gah! Look what you've done, now I can't choose. Lyra started off considerably better, but Bonbon had a good set of lines for the finish.
...What the heck, I choose Lyra.
LYRA!11
Bon Bon, both for the references, and the fact that Lyra's lyrics were lacking.
I see what you did there with the references...Awesome
My vote gore to Bon Bon because she had better insults than Lyra did. I am Sorry Lyra PLEAS FORGIVE ME
Dang it! I came here after finally reading the latest chapter of Background Pony for a mental breather, a cool down from the emotional hale storm that is SS&E's writing, and what do I get? Bonbon telling Lyra to go be forgotten. My bad timing.
As much as it hurts to say right now, bonbon clearly won, even without the reference
Keep on truckin' "Madame Limey"!!
I'm gonna have to read all the way through background pony now
Definitely Bon Bon this time. (Really wish there was an emote for this.)
-SoI
1430664
I know right. Humans. Pfft.
Bonbon for the G-string Reference.
Love that series.
Another good one.
Well, it would seem that E forgot to mention my story.
Do I hear someone say "self promotion time?"
Here it is if you want to read it. Please do.
Lost Kindness
hm it was hard to tell but..bon bon..barely.
As much as I want to support Lyra in all things, Bon Bon just squeaked by with some better rhymes and a reference.
Bon Bon rosted that bitch.
Honestly, both felt a bit weak to me. Because of this, I vote for the slice of lemon pie.
Seeing as there have been more than 9 rap battles since Pinkie's, I suggest (once again) Pinkie Pie vs Physics and Logic.
1431696
that would be an entirely unfair rap battle. physics and logic have no defense against pinkie's abilities.
1431703 New idea!
Pinkie Pie vs Twilight Sparkle (representing physics and logic, which are currently at and not at a quantum Starbucks).
I love ya lyra but I gotta give it to bon boncdn.broni.es/images/emotes/mlp-bbclap.png
Lyra ...also

Bon-bon
Bon bon for frisky fillies and background pony refrences
Oh yes indeed, I did indeed see what you did there...
Awaiting further releases.
Bon Bon totally won.
why do bronies have to ship backround ponies and then do this in a rap battle, I choose....Bon Bon
