Deep in the Everfree Forest, midnight

After Xyclone goes to bed, Bon-Bon sneaks over to Twilight's tent. She and herself were the only ones still awake. She needs to ask a favor of Twilight. Bon-Bon had noticed Twilight acting very strange recently, so she is slightly afraid of entering her tent. "Uh, T-Twilight?" Bon-Bon asks. "A-Are you here?"

"HELLO, BON-BON!" Twilight says suddenly, appearing in the middle of nowhere with a schizophrenic grin in her face. Her eyes are wide and her pupils are drifting apart; Her mane and tail are unraveled. "HOW ARE YOU TONIGHT?!"

"Who, m-me? Not that well. But you look like you should be asking yourself that question. You look horrible!"

"OH, *I'M FINE!"* twitches Twilight. "I'M JUST PEACHY!"

"You sure aren't acting fine..."

Twilight giggles insanely, blinking intermittently.

"Anywho, I'm here to ask you a favor. I need your help again with Xyclone—"

Before Bon-Bon could finish, Twilight gets up in her face. "XYCLONE?! YOU MEAN THE MONSTER THAT'S BEEN STEALING MY FRIENDS FROM ME?!"

"What?! He's stealing your friends too?!"

Twilight starts looking slightly less crazy. "Yeah..." she says. "Spike and I got into an argument the other night about Xyclone. I told him that I was starting to have second thoughts about him, that I was actually starting to like him. I was thinking that maybe he really isn't a bad guy. Then Spike got all mad at me, saying that he was sick of me obsessing over him. Then I realized that Xyclone has been doing something horrible this entire time: he's turning my own friends against me."

"Wow, this is uncanny," Bon-Bon says. "Just last night, Lyra and I got into an argument about that exact same thing. Lyra said that she was developing a crush on Xyclone. That really hurt me when she said that. I don't want her to fall in love with the enemy! But anyway, the reason I came here is because I need you to help me get rid of him...if you know what I mean..."

"OH, YEAH," raves Twilight crazily. "YOU MEAN KILL HIM."

"What?! NO! I was just gonna say get him lost somewhere or something. Although...now that I think about it... That bastard stole Lyra. Nopony takes my little Lyra from me." A crazed look now begins to appear on Bon-Bon's face as well. "NOPONY."

"JOIN ME, BON-BON," says Twilight, holding out her hoof to her. "JOIN ME AND WE CAN BE RID OF THIS MENACE *ONCE...AND...FOR...ALL."*

Bon-Bon looks unsure, but as the insanity begins to envelop her mind, she has a change of heart. She chuckles unstably. "Murder..." she says. "You know, now that I think about it, THAT'S NOT A BAD IDEA!" Bon-Bon violently shakes Twilight's hoof. "YOU'VE GOT A DEAL, TWILIGHT!"

Suddenly the two of them start giggling madly, which quickly turns to laughter, which then escalates to psychotic cackling.
