Lyra: Conspiratorial Exposure.
Lyra: Conspiratorial Exposure.
It was the beginning of the day. It would be pretty boring, if it weren't for the fact that it was the biggest party ever thrown in Ponyville. Pinkie always had parties, but nothing compared to this one. There would be dancing, cooking, friendship and of course, exhibitions... BonBon doesn't like that much, after all.
"Hnng! Almost there!" – The greenish unicorn insisted, pushing a blackboard and some boxes with a lot of old stuff.
His wife watched her. It is serious? She looked at the whole mess with that frown on her face.
"What are you doing there? Where did these things come from?" – She asked, still intrigued.
"Ohh, sweetie!" – She smiled, seemed to be coming up with the biggest plan of her life. – "It's a bit improvised, but I'm going to put on a show! The best one ever, in this case."
"Ah, yes. Know that I am a big fan of your work." – She smiled softly, lowering her ears. – "What song will you play on your harp?"
"Hoho, this time I wanted to do something different!"
"Ahh, no... Lyra, I already told you, humans don't exis-"
"Owaah! Blasphemy!" – She held the blackboard, explained some poorly made drawings. – Look! Humans are among us! The most famous ponies in Equestria are actually... Human!"
BonBon just rolled her eyes. Well, she knew that her wife sometimes had a hobby of researching and making conspiracy theories. But when you took it so seriously... Well, ignoring it would be the best thing, right?
"Ah...right. It's okay." – She just smiled, anyway hoping that Lyra would do well in the presentation – "I saw that it was a good job. I hope you can be happy."
"Awwe! I love you so much!" – she looked even happier, her forehead was now furrowed as she smiled. – "I'm going to be a much better scientist than Doctor Hooves!"
"Well, dreaming is nice sometimes." – BonBon packed her bag – "Anyway, I'm going out to help with the treats for the big party. Bye!"
Lyra was still on the table, feeling like the baddest pony in history. In a good way, of course.
"Okay, just be careful. It's raining a lot these afternoons, and it's kind of difficult to dry the sheets on the lines. If it rains, take them out.” –BonBon came back for a few seconds, again.
"Okay, babe. Alright, let's go. I have to leave too."
After that, Lyra runs from the door, much faster before locking the door. She ran so fast that she tripped over a stallion with brown fur and a dark mane. No... wait, that was Doctor Hooves!
"Ah, hello teacher!" – Lyra said, frowning, seeming to plan something. His smile was exaggerated at this time.
"oh please, I'm in a hurry!" – He stepped with his hooves nervously.
"Ohh, don't you have a moment? That's really bad... of you." – His smile was still exaggerated, he looked like he was going to get into trouble at any time. – "So, I know we've been rivals since a long time, and you know...heh, I mean, my projects are wonderful too, not to brag."
"Ohhh... " – Doctor groaned with concern, looking at the time from the tower. – "Yes, I know, but-"
"Sooo... this year I did something much better than you! This time, I can even surpass myself. It's today that I can prove that Princess Celestia is actually... a reptilihuman!!"
"What?"
"A reptilihuman!! do not know?! HAHAHA, they are always among us, being the famous ones. I suspect even Mayor Mare would be one."
"I would even say this was ridiculous and pointless, but I'm really in a hurry right now." – He runs, making her wrinkle her nose. "I'll see you at the big party, doctor." – She adjusted her hooves. – "Well, what was I going to do...?"
She quickly remembered, and walked to the sugarcube corner. Lyra stood on two legs... how strange it was. She stood in front of the counter where Pinkie, Mrs Cake and Sugar Belle were.
"Good morning, welcome to the sugar cube corner! here is a sugar cube for every-" Sugar Belle was interrupted just in time for the slogan.
"Well, I'll just want some decorated cupcakes for my presentation, that's all. You know, I'd like something really...mysterious! as if it were something mythical!" – his eyes shone when he said such things.
"Ah... like they were question marks?" – Sugar Belle asked, this time raising a hoof to try not to be interrupted again.
"Surprise me!" – She winked – "Do the best thing in the world and give it to me today!"
She then left happily, not that it didn't generate some comments.
"Hmmm.. So... different, right? – Sugar Belle smiled at her colleagues, trying to lighten the mood.
"oh, yes honey." – Mrs Cake nodded – "I wonder what she's going to come up with..."
Lyra Heartstrings was still trotting around the city, admiring all the starry decorations, that party could be the key to her success, and she knew it. She sniffed the air, still very happy.
"Oh man. Who do I want to fool? I feel so nervous... ah, I need more support." – So she walked to the spa, just to play in that colorful water with lots of bubbles. The problem is here, right. THAT PLACE WAS FULL!
"Ah, great. – She looked away, a little disappointed. Then, she ended up seeing an employee approach her.
"Oh, heavens, you're Lyra Heartstrings, right? That little filly that showed up in town... ah! Do you still know how to play your harp?" – she held her hooves to Lyra's chest as she said this. The greenish unicorn's pupils soon changed from their small pupil shape to large irises.
"Haha, me? Am I that famous?" – She smiled very enthusiastically, but tried to remain calm, moving her hooves behind her head, quickly scratching her mane.
"Yes!! I loved it. Please play it here, one of those very relaxing songs while quoting your poems. It would be a great honor!" – The employee was more excited about the idea.
"Don't worry!" – Lyra took the harp out of her backpack, drawing the attention of all those noisy ponies together.
"Life seems so boring.
I can guarantee that.
With the fact that you're here.
Just looking for something to entertain yourself.
It turns out that living life,
It's different from just existing in it."
A delightful background melody could be heard, as Lyra recited inspirational poems to everyone in that place. Everyone became much calmer in the queue, and little by little, they returned to normal.
Oh, thank you, thank you! – she thanked me – it was an honor to help, as that employee had told me, right."
At this time, a somewhat grumpy guy arrived. He started booing Lyra. Well, it wasn't a very good idea.
"In my time, poems were art!" – He shouted, irritated – "Not that kind of crap!"
She stopped playing the harp, just looking at him, still smiling.
"Hello, my good sir. Excuse me?"
"you heard. I criticized you."
"Ahh, why? You know how to do better, huh?” – She turned to him with more desire."
The guy's face became darker.
"Well, let's go. A challenge, this afternoon before the show. Everyone will see your defeat. Do you accept?"
"Oh, that's fine with me. It would be really funny." – She continued smiling at him like a maniac, while pressing their hooves together.

I tried again, i hope you guys like it
Sugar Belle: Sugar Belle is so naive
It was right. Just like another ordinary morning, Sugar Belle worked in the sugarcube corner. It was a fun job, especially because it was one of the best-rated snack bars in the city. At first, Sugar Belle was so confused by Lyra's request... something "mysterious"? Well, anyway, the decoration of the cupcakes wasn't really the problem, for now.
"Oh, Celestia!" – Sugar Belle commented, while that half-empty bag of flour fell onto her hooves. – "Mrs Cake, we're out of flour!"
"Don't worry, sweetie!" – Mrs Cake goes to the reserves – "There must be something right here... oops, we forgot to refill." – She put her hoof on her face in disappointment. – "We had a lot of orders this week and we forgot to get more from the farm."
"Don't worry, ma'am." – Sugar Belle smiled, calming the situation. – "I can go to the farm, I'm sure Big Mac still has a lot. He's sooo responsible!" – she blushed as she fidgeted, until Mrs. Cake brought her back to reality.
"Well, you better get going." – She laughed a little. – "That pony really wanted the cupcakes for today. Which is a bit strange, since she should have asked for it a week before like the others..."
"All good!" – Sugar Belle walked out the door – "I'll be right back, see you later!"
Mrs Cake just smiled back, admiring her employee's determination and willpower. But anyway, on the farm, Applejack and Carrot Top seemed to be discussing something at the moment.
"Hey Hey! I know the payment is late, but you have to trust me!" – Applejack said nervously.
"Ah, yes! Come on, I work here like a convict for a month and at the end of it you didn't fix anything?!" – Carrot retorted angrily.
I"t's just... you know, there's new people at home... and you know, me and Big Mac are the only ones who pay the bills and-"
"Ah, tell me again! Are you serious?" – Carrot didn't even let Applejack say anything else.
"I am literally the element of honesty!" – She puffed out her chest to appear bigger at that time.
"Excuse me?" – A calmer voice silenced them both. Sugar Belle had arrived. - "hmmm... me..."
"Ah! Sugarcube!" – Applejack approaches her sister-in-law. – "Is everything okay? Sorry... I was just having a conversation about negotiations." – Aj's ears lowered with a little fear when he saw Carrot's frown. – "Heh, or something like that..."
"I was looking for flour, Big Mac still has it in the barn, right?" – She was just happy to talk about him.
"Yes, there is. It's just that it's in his cabin, which is locked. He left for Appaloosa to take care of some rather personal matters. He always takes the key with him, right." – Aj seemed to be lying, but Sugar Belle didn't notice much.
"Oh... right?" – She lowered her ears a little. – "Oh, right... I'll try to get some at the fair, can you lend me some bits for change?"
"Oh, yeah. Ah have it." – She hands Sugar Belle some coins. This only angered Carrot even more
"Thanks! I'll pay you back later." – She smile again, returning to the city to go to the Ponyville fair. Halfway through the trip, she saw the figure of a stallion dancing with a training dummy. It was so fast and it also hid... it looked like Big Mac. Or she don't know, maybe she was thinking about him a lot. Anyway, she went to town and saw all that crowd of ponies again. That party was going to be so big, his eyes even sparkled feeling the freedom to celebrate and be happy that day. Ponies came and went from everywhere. Even Lyra was there, carrying that slate and rounding up some ponies.
"One bag of flour, please." – She picked up that bag, knowing it would be enough for the day. She loaded it into her wagon and delivered the bits. – "Thank you, man!"
She was even going back to SugarCube Corner, but was stopped by Derpy. Why did she have a foil hat on her head...?
"You! Did you know?" – Derpy flew over SugarBelle, with his purest and most innocent way. – "The repitilihumans! are among us!"
"Reptilihumans?! What is this?" - Sugar Belle had trouble saying that weird word, but she believed it. – "And- and they're going to arrest the ponies? what do they do?" – Before responding, Derpy thought, trying to remember something she had heard.
"Woahh! Yeah, they're going to overpower us!"
"Dominate us?!"
"Erase our memories!"
"Our memories?!"
"Aanndd... take away our freedom!!"
"Ahh! I dont wanna this! – She covered her nose with her hooves.
Soon, that same brown Earth pony, Doctor Hooves, arrived in the conversation.
"Derpy... what did I tell you about sensational news? Even in the pony world there's that- I mean... oh, please, right?"
"oohh..." – She nodded – "What is that?"
Uhh... Okay, let's go. Yes, a conspiracy theory can be considered sensationalist news because bla bla bla bla..." – He even explained it well, but Derpy ended up getting distracted by Sugar Belle's trembling.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot to say that this all has a chance of being a lie. Lyra was the one who said that!"
Sugar Belle blinked nervously at the thought of having her freedom taken away.
"Lyra?" – its snout was pointed at that greenish unicorn, which was acting as if it were an epilogue to its presentations: perhaps a rehearsal. She tried to call as many ponies as possible.
"Oh, right... i get it, I'll be more careful..." – She is almost going home, but this time she ends up tripping, so a stud who thought he was VERY hot offered to help.
"Hey princess" – He extended a hoof with a wink. – "Where are you going?"
At that moment Sugar Belle's muzzle twitched. – "You just tripped me on purpose!"
"I? No, mon'cherrie!" – He leaned on a place.
Sugar Belle suddenly remembered about the reptilihumans.
"Hey, I won't tolerate this again!" – She lowered her ears angrily.
Before he could respond, the stud who thinks he's hot was soon pushed away quickly when Sugar Belle was just a few feet away from the sugarcube corner. At that moment, she felt happy, excited and most importantly; free. The wind rushed through his curly mane and tail, swaying in the wind. His fur felt the breeze once more, and his hooves exercised. She smiled like never before. Arriving at the sugarcube corner, to his surprise the cupcakes were already being prepared.
"Oh, hello sweetie!" – Mrs Cake smiled. – "It turns out that yes, we had more flour saved, it's enough for today. I hope you don't get mad."
Sugar Belle's face looked confused at first, but soon brightened up, laughing. – "Ahah, don't worry, really. In fact, the walk was the best part. Running is really good, let's go make these cupcakes."
then the three ponies prepared those delicious cupcakes; but one thing couldn't get out of the unicorn's head. – "where's BigMac, anyway?" – She asked, still thinking about him, and comforting herself by adjusting that mass.
