One day, when Yacqueline was feeling her very worst, she met the most beautiful little pegasus filly she had ever seen. She had no choice but to sing to her... but she waited until after she left, so she could sing in peace without interruption. That way she could pretend that they were still together and that she was listening to her. The pony in question was actually a Changeling, but in her pony guise the name reminded her of her imaginary friend... Sky Blue and Skai Bloo were pronounced the same way anyway. Anyway, Yacqueline started singing, and this is what she sang.

"I'm nervous, I'm sweating, the clock's moving slow." Yacqueline was thinking of how bored she was in her room... but also how excited she was to do something with Sky. "Go get me a doctor or I'm gonna' blow. These flutters are endless, my stomach can fly. I'm sick with infection, but I'll be alright. I hope I don't come off as awkward or dumb. I get it if you turn your tail and run. I'm barely an average, you're out of my league. I can't understand why'd you ever pick me. Some guys don't realize when life gives them such a prize. You're an angel in disguise. So come on."

"Let's get stupid while the night is young" Yacqueline proposed the idea to Skai, whom she was pretending was Sky. "and let's have some fun like we've only got one. Don't tell your Dad, I can be your secret. Oh my Gosh, I'm hardly breathing. I can't help it, I'm a babbling idiot. Please kiss me quick, 'cause I need to feel it. Just one more day, I don't want it to end. If I leave you now will I see you again?"

"This room is so boring, this place is so new." Yacqueline told her imaginary friend, pretending she was new lover. "Let's have an adventure with just me and you. Your everything's perfect, I'm in ecstasy. My pants get much tighter when you're next to me. You take me by the hand, I'm suddenly yours. Don't mind me, I'll pick up my mouth off the floor. Your scent is hypnotic, I'm lost in your eyes. I can't wait to disappoint you with my size. Don't pinch me, let me dream. Things aren't always what they seem. This is too good to believe. So come on."

"Let's get stupid while the night is young" Yacqueline asked Skai again. "and let's have some fun like we've only got one. Don't tell your Dad, I can be your secret. Oh my Gosh, I'm hardly breathing. I can't help it, I'm a babbling idiot. Please kiss me quick, 'cause I need to feel it. Just one more day, I don't want it to end. If I leave you now will I see you a-"

"Gain tomorrow?" Yacqueline asked Skai. "Years that follow. It's all unknown. Don't leave me a-" She paused for a brief second "lone, my new friend. It's not the end. But until then, let's go and-"

"Let's get stupid while the night is young" Yacqueline said to Skai one final time. "and let's have some fun like we've only got one. Don't tell your Dad, I can be your secret. Oh my Gosh, I'm hardly breathing. I can't help it, I'm a babbling idiot. Please kiss me quick, 'cause I need to feel it. Just one more day, I don't want it to end. If I leave you now will I see you again?"

Yacqueline coulda sworn she heard Sky say "No, you probably won't because that is stupid" to her. But she knew Sky was joking when she said that... and so she smiled at the prospect of being in love with somepony who actually loves her back.
