"Bon-Bon!"

"Hey, Lyra. What's up?"

"I just got back from my first recital!"

"Oh, great! How did it go?"

"It was awesome! When it was my turn on stage, I played a song with hoof and magic! It was like I was playing a duet by myself!"

"Oh wow! I wish I could have seen it! But Mama wouldn't let me go. I had to stay home and practice."

"It's alright."

"So what did the other ponies think?"

"They all loved it! I think I saw some of them crying!"

"That's great!"

"Everypony stood up and was cheering! It felt so....so awesome!"

"I'm happy for you, Ly.....what was that?"

"Huh? What was what?"

"I thought I saw a flash and... Oh my gosh, look!"

"What, what?"

"Your flank!"

"My what??"

"Your flank! Look at your flank!"

"Look at my... My cutie mark!"

"You got it!"

"I got it!"

"Eeeeee!"

"Eeeeee!"
