Interview #1 : Derpy Hooves

Hi everyone Starlight Charmer here bringing news and stories to the ponies. Today I will begin my new background pony interview segment with the already well known Miss Derpy Hooves.Why I am starting it with her when she's already well known you may ask? Well I am starting it with Derpy for that very reason to tell people the story of an already popular pony. Derpy is already popular for many things such as her crossed eyes also know as her trademark "derpy" expression. Another thing ponies have been known to love about Derpy is her adorable love for muffins. Who can't resist a Derpy snuggling with a blueberry muffin? Also for all of the My Little Pony and Doctor Who fans out there you get the pleasure of seeing Derpy or should I say ditzy do? With the famed Doctor now in pony form and at first Derpy is only his partner ,but later on in the fanfiction thier relationship becomes intresting when Derpy falls in love in with the Doctor. Some of the fanfics even say that they have children! But, for now let's go back to the interview. Today I will interview Derpy to learn more about her and the things she does both in-show and off-screen. This meeting will be taking place at a cafe next to sugercube corner. Now enough of all the boring info let's get on with this interview.

A Few Hours Later.....

Where is Miss Derpy Hooves I have been waiting here for hours this is annoying although I should have known she would be late due to her poor navigatinal skill, but I never imagined she would be this late I mean really it was supposed to be six hours ago! " Excuse me miss are you done with your drink? Do you need a refill?" Starlight looks up to see another waiter eagerly waiting for her answer. Wow these ponies sure are excited to serve me more enthusiastic then the waiters in canterlot cafe's no wonder they say Ponyville is one the nicest town is equestria " No thanks I don't need another refill" The waiter begins to go to the next customer "wait I would like to give you a tip for you excellent service" I hand the waiter eight bits, but then rethink this and add two more bits. "wow thank you miss um.... what your name?" "My names starlight charmer a reporter from canterlot and thank you for the excellent service".

An hour later...

I finally decide to give up this interview with Derpy and to chose a diffrent pony, but as I make my way down the street I bump into Derpy. Yes I litteraly bump into her head first actually and my head still hurts. When I see Derpy I am at first surprised then angry " Where have you been I waited for you at a cafe for seven hours!". Derpy finally seems to take in who I am " I'm sorry I was busy with my job , today I accidentaly dropped a piano on a pony's head and I had to take her to the hospital I was on my way to the interview now" Staring into her sincere "Derpy" eyes breaks me and I forgive her right away." Derpy don't worry about it we can still do the interview and I bought you some muffins" I say with a smile and Derpy accepts my new interview and muffin offer.

Finally something you have all been waiting for interview time with Derpy!

Okay Derpy first let's start with a question everyone's been wondering why do you love muffins so much?

I fell in love with muffins when I ate my first one during applebuck season it was so tasty! Applejack makes the best muffins

Wait! you don't mean the "baked bads" in episode 4 do you? Apple Jack was sleep deprived and made them bad, and let's not forget it made everypony sick.

Oh so that's why everypony run's when they see me with my favorite muffins and Apple Jack always looks at me funny. I don't see what's wrong with these muffins they are really good.

Okayy.... moving on now. Next question since were still on the muffin topic I want to ask why do you hate english muffins so much? Whenever you see the Doctor eating a english muffin you call him a traitor why?

English muffins are not real muffins! Whenever the Doctor is eating one of those fake muffins he is betraying me. I mean why would he prefer a fake muffin over one of my blueberry muffins. It makes no sense.

I kinda feel bad for the Doctor now. Derpy I have always wondered what made you want to travel with the doctor in the first place. Each of the doctor's old human companions had a reason, but yours is never really mentioned.

Oh that's an easy question I went with the doctor for adventure plus the doctor said I could bring my muffins with me while we travel.

Derpy we know you like the doctor why don't you tell him how you feel?

* Derpy started heavily blushing at this question* Oh um I don't want to tell the doctor how I feel just yet, beacuse I am happy to just be with him and teach him how to be a pony. One of my favorite things to do with him is to help him take a bath. I love rubbing his mane and .... Oh wait did I say that out loud forget what I just said and don't tell the doctor.

*After Derpy gave this response she became unresponsive and seemed to be thinking about something possibly the doctor therefore to keep this interview moving forward we will go to a diffrent topic, but we may go back to this later*

Derpy I have always wanted to ask you are a mail pony and yet your cutie mark dosen't match up with your job or name why do you have multiple bubbles as your cutie mark? '

Wait I have bubbles as my cutie mark *turns around to check* I never noticed it before I don't know why I have it.

*stares at Derpy with mouth wide open then slowly recovers* You have got to be kidding me ..... Derpy why is it that everypony calls you Derpy when your real name is Ditzy

Everyone calls me Derpy , beacuse of my usual face although at times I wish I could be called by my real name.

Derpy do you know you have a day based on you it's called Derpy day and it's on March 1st

Wow I have my own day why didn't anypony tell me I love celebrating myself and of course muffins.

Derpy if you could choose something to bring into the everfree forest what would you chose?

A blueberry muffin of course I couldn't last a day in the everfree forest without a blueberry muffin.

*my timer rings*

Wow the interview's over already and we didn't get into the personal question's yet. Sorry for this my fan's , but I will do another interview with Derpy if a lot of ponies personally ask for more. Also did you like this interview love it, or hate it if you do please tell me why and how I can make this any better for you.

Interview #2: Minuette

Interview #2: Minuette

" Oh Starlight you are so sexy and adorable can you please be my love muffin"

"uhh miss Charmer you know we are live right now " says the camera pony looking slightly embarassd

"Wait what! delete the footage taken just now delete it!"

"Are you sure you want me to delete it? I mean it's some very funny footage of you talking to youself" nearby ponies start to laugh

" Delete it or I will make sure that you will never find another job in all of Equestria!"

"ok ok deleting it , please don't fire me I really need this job"

"Fine I won't fire you, but one more screw up and you are out of here"

Sorry everypony for the interview hold up two days ago a certain camera pony messed up all the footage from last weeks interview and had to fix it or else that ceratin pony would have been without a job. Now moving on from that ... Hi everypony Starlight Charmer here once agian to bring the news and stories to the ponies. Last week the background pony interview with miss Derpy Hooves has proven to be quite a sucess, So I plan on continuing this segment. Today I will interview a not so well known background pony known as Minuette. Unlike Derpy Hooves, Minuette is not so well known due to her small fan base, but today I plan on changing that. Minuette has been known to make random appearances in multiple episodes in both season one and season two, but most of her appearances are rarely noticed. Some of her more noticible appearances are in episode one when she tried to get Twilight to go to Moondancers get-together, episode eleven when she was on the plant team, episode thirty six when she she was running away from a rampaging spike, and finally her appearance as one of Chrysalis hyponotized bridesmaids in a Canterlot wedding. Minuette is also known for her random appearances in Doctor whooves fanfic's and is seen a lot in Ask the Master tumblr and Discorded whooves tumblr.Minuette even has a few tumblr blogs dedicated to her and all of her fan art.

Today our interview will be taking place in Canterlot square, the middle of Canterlot itself near a Celestia statue. Why are we choosing such a public place? Well this place really wasn't of my choosing I prefer a much more solitary area such as a cafe , but Minuette insisted and since she is the one being interviewed I went along with it.

Let's hope Minuette is timely when it comes to interviews unlike a certain pony i know I think as make it to Canterlot square, which is of course populated by many ponies as usual. I try to make my way to the Celestia statue , but my progress is very slow since I have to keep trying to avoid ponies while i walk. I take a look at my watch Oh dear sweet Celestia I am late to my own pony interview. If only I could find a way to get past these ponies quickly or better yet get rid of them all entirely, but the only way to do that is if Celestia herself appeared. That's when a small idea forms in my head and turns into a well thought out plan if I do say so myself.

A Few minutes later...

Everpony in Canterlot square are still focused on thier activities when suddenly a pony's voice rises above the crowd. Everypony tries to find the source , when suddenly another pony shouts and then another one. Soon word spreads like wildfire that princess Celestia herself is at the Canterlot library signing autographs and the park quickly empties out. Now standing where the huge crowds used to be are a few ponies with headphone's or other ear related devices and of course Starlight herself who started all this.I watch all the ponies as they go Wow I would really hate to be the one who has to tell them that there is no Celestia . Suddenly i feel some prodding me on the side and turn around to see a Maya blue unicorn standing right next to me.

" Excuse me do you know where can I find a miss Starlight Charmer around here and can you also tell me where did everypony go?" says a very confused Minuette

" Oh hi Minuette your just in time for your interview"

Her eyes widen " you mean your Starlight charmer, but Derpy told me Starlight charmer is a pegasus "

Derpy must really have a few screws loose " Miss Hooves got it wrong I am a unicorn and also I am the one and only Starlight charmer

" That's great sorry for getting you mixed up can we start the interview now I have to meet up with some of my friends later"

" sure let's begin!"

Minuette let's start with an easy question how long have you know Twilight Sparkle, in episode one you act like you have known her for a long time?

Oh I have known Twilight for a long time I met her when I we both were little filly's. Although Twilight probbaly dosen't remember me anymore.

Minuette why do say that Twilight probbaly dosen't remember you anymore? What led to this assumption?

Well me and Twilight we never really close to begin with. Twilight always had her head in the book while I was out and about making new friends . Looking back at it now It's like we were in two diffrent worlds and I am surprised she even noticed when I said hi to her.

If this is how you feel about you and Twilight's relationship then why did you try to invite her to come to Moondancers get-together with you. I mean wouldn't it be awkward if she actually did come with you?.

Well yes it would be very awkward but i wanted to invite her , beacuse I noticed how she didn't have any friends and i wanted to help her out. But even though she turned down my offer I can see that now she's made a lot of friends on her own.

Aww that's actually very sweet Minuette , but moving onto the next question in the episode A Canterlot wedding part.1 I noticed that you didn't have a horn can you explain how is that even possible?

Oh that well you see I used magic to make my horn dissapear. It was all part of a bet Lyra and I did the night before. Lyra bet me 5 bits that I couldn't go a day without using magic especially during a wedding. I proved her wrong and used the five bits afterwards to buy myself a drink. Who knew being a hypnotized evil bridesmaid can be so tiring?

I was wondering when you ,Lyra, and Twinkleshine were hypnotized and fighting over the flowers thrown by Princess Cadance. who won the flowers in the end?.

Lyra won the flowers in the end but only, beacuse she used her magic which was completely unfair!

Minuette you have appeared multiple times in Doctor Whooves fanfic's what is your realationship to the Doctor?

Our relationship is not what you are probbaly thinking right now. The Doctor and I are just two very close friends who understand each other very well. I also enjoy arguing with him over the laws of time and space and other very complicated things.

Minuette you never did get your chance to travel with the Doctor are you jelous of Twilight and Derpy/Ditzy Doo?

Me,jelous not really although I sometimes feel a touch of something else whenever I hear the doctor talking about one of his magnificent adventure . I wish someday he might consider taking me.

Minuette do you know you have the same cutie mark as the Doctor, so maybe that means you two are destined to travel together?

ooh that's an intresting theory maybe I should bring this up with the Doctor later....

Minuette how did you get your cutie mark ?

It all happened one summer while i was visiting my family in Canterlot. The main clock tower near Canterlot square broke and caused massive chaos. Most of the ponies living in Canterlot use the clock tower to keep track of time, but with the clock tower broken nopony could keep track of time aand nothing could be done correctly. The clock tower soon made me curious and I went into the clock tower to fix it. I tried everything , but nothing worked. Then suddenly my magic activated and soon enough the clock tower was back to how it should be. That's when I got my hour glass cutie mark.

*ding ding* oh there goes my timer

"Thanks agian for doing this interview minuette hope I didn't make you too late for your friends"

" You didn't make me late and this was actually really fun we should do this agian sometime" said a smiling Minuette

"Minuette which pony do you think I should interview next?"

"Oh you should defenitely do Lyra or Bon Bon the two of them are very interesting ponies"

There you have it folks the next pony to be interviewed will be either Lyra Heartstrings or Bon Bon or maybe a different pony if a lot of people suggest that pony.

See you all next week!

Also sorry everpony if there are a lot of gramatical erros I was never any good at proofreading and I am currently looking for anyone willing to proofread my interview's if you would like to proofread the interviews coming up then just say so in the comments area and i will get back to you on it .

Interview #3: Fleur de Lis

"Hi every pony it's me Starlight charmer here making a segment about the love life I wish I had" says Powder the makeup pony with her special Starlight voice that she developed after a year of working with the ungrateful reporter

A few ponies snicker behind the scenes

"Since the audience loves the title of this segment let's begin" Says a malicious faced Powder

Powder moves close to Starlight Charmer's personal bathroom and presses the mike to the door

"Oh Starlight you are so sexy and much prettier then that little boy friend stealing model named Fleur de Lis" says a voice coming from the shower "I can't even see what Fancy Pants likes about that pink haired little witch!"

The mike ampliphies Starlight's voice and all of Starlight's enterouge erupt into laughter

"Wait what was that? who's there!" Starlight practically screams

Suddenly the room goes so silent you can hear a bit drop

"Uh oh guess we have to end this segment, every pony run if you want to keep your jobs" says Powder as every pony begins to scatter in different directions to avoid being caught.

A minute later...

Starlight comes out of her personal bathroom with only a small towel covering her flank giving every male pony in the vicinity a good look at her body naked which she hates anyone to see even though it's normal for ponies to be naked

"hmmm, looks like there is no one here" Says Starlight as she looks around , but sees no one " I am really beginning to lose it aren't I Fancy Pants"

She kisses her very realistic/stalkerish Fancy Pants doll before entering the bathroom again and unknown to her Powder and the rest of the enterouge record the moment to post it Facehoof and any other social networking site they can find in Equestria. The small glimpse of Starlight without her normal attire also managed to give a few of the male ponies in the enterouge nose bleeds and very well how should I say this uhh... dark fantasies does that cover it?

This does it I officially hate my life! Why do I hate my life so much when I am rich and famous the rest of my audience may be asking right now? Because, today I am being made to do an interview of my enemy Fleur De Lis. That mare is nothing , but a boy friend stealing two-timing witch who likes to rub it in my face. Fancy Pants was all mine until that mare showed him a little flank and probably used magic to steal him from me. Underneath that pure white coat is nothing , but rat! Today I will try to get this interview over as quickly as possible for my audience and will save my ranting for the Fleur voodoo doll that a nice mare named Trixie gave to me last week. You would be surprised at amount of voodoo dolls Trixie has which makes me worry about her sanity, but oh well I guess I owe her one so I am not reporting her to the police just yet..... I might do it later. Okay no more stalling I am going on with the interview no matter if it kills me.

Hi every pony Starlight Charmer here bringing news and stories to the ponies. Today I will interview one of Equestria's most two-timing uhh I mean gorgeous model known as Fluer De Lis. Her name is probably fake! Thankfully even though Fleur is very famous throughout Equestria she still has an even smaller fan base than Minuette and Derpy. Her small fan base is due to fact that she only appeared in one episode which is "Sweet and Elite" and only appeared for a few moments with Fancy Pants. She paid him to do it. Even though she has only made a momentary appearance, she now has several fanfic's with her as the main role or a back ground pony. People have also assumed from her appearance that she is a model and a "Trophy" wife due to her interaction with Fancy Pants during the few moments she had. That little two-timer had her hooves all over my Fancy Pants!

Unlike the last two ponies I interviewed Fleur is mainly shown in fan art instead of fan videos or fan fiction. In fan art Fleur is normally shown doing very mature stuff with Fancy Pants and being very grabby. When she is not depicted with Fancy Pants she is normally shown having relationships with other stallion's and has even been shown molesting a few filly's. This is how she acts when no one is watching. There are also a few gag photos of Fleur demanding money from Fancy pants for playing the role of his wife in public. Fleur has few tumblrs , but has a few pony music videos on YouTube mainly about her status as a "Trophy" wife or dedicated to her appearance. Her main talent is unknown to brony community, but due to her cutie mark (a gold Fleur-de-lis with two smaller purple fleur-de-lis surrounding it ) people have assumed that her talent is in art, leadership, beauty, political affairs, creativity, or intellect.

Today the interview will be taking place in Fleur's backstage dressing room at the Canterlot Ampitheater. All the more private for me to strangle her without getting black listed in Canterlot. Wait or maybe my voodoo will finally work and today will be the day she falls over and breaks one of her many flawless hooves. C'mon Starlight get it together right now is the time for civility and poise two things you usually have. Don't worry revenge will come later after the interview. MWAH HA HA! Wow I really need to stop talking or thinking to myself Trixie's craziness probably rubbed off on me while I was getting the voodoo doll. Continuing from before we are going to interview in the main presentation center in Canterlot and all of Equestria. The Ampitheater is known for all the famous actors that have walked across it's stage and all the unique shows they have done. The only reason I am here today is , because right now the Miss Equestria pageant is taking place and Fleur told me she wouldn't have time for an interview on any other day. Which is probably a huge lie and the only reason she is doing this is to rub it in my face. Today I promised to be civil to the enemy, but if she begins to rub honey moon photos of Fancy Pants and her in my face like last time all bets are off.

An hour's worth of malevolent thoughts later..

The sound of a door closing brings me out of my thoughts and I look towards the door only to see a white coated mare with a soft pink mane and her trade mark Fleur-de-lis cutie mark stride in as if she owned the place. Well technically she does own this place according to PlayBrony and other sources I have to remind myself , but I still don't like being in her vicinity and have to continuously remind myself to be civil towards her during the interview. Ignoring the hatred I feel right now I plaster on a fake smile and hope for the best.

"Why darling I am so glad you came today I thought you still hated me from last time" Fleur says with a smile that is currently worth millions of bits. Trust me on this I checked PonyPedia which is never wrong.

I Still hate you Fleur and you know why but, instead of sharing my thought out loud I swallow a little of my anger and say "Now why would you think such a thing Fleur I mean we are such great friends right?"

After I say this Fleur begins to examine me to see if I have sort of hidden agenda planned , but I stand my ground and plaster an even bigger fake grin on my face to not give away anything.

Eventually after minutes of staring each other down Fleur finally gives in " It's good to see that one of my husbands closest friends doesn't hate me right now, oh by the way did my darling Fancy Pants tell you that we had a lovely vacation in Manehatten"

This comment makes me seethe with so much anger that I worry it might be visible note to self: later burn her at stake or hang her on a noose as punishment I take a moment to consider the plans running through my head other note to self: get a new pair of shoes and matching clothing to look beautiful for the hanging or burning. Who said a hanging of burning had to be a depressing event.

When I look back at Fleur I can tell that my anger has become visible and to try to cover up my emotions I say " Fleur why don't we get to the point of this" I begin to fake boredom and take a quick look at a clock" I have to plan my next interview after this so can we just hurry along with this conversation and start the interview"

Fleur suddenly looks somewhat surprised, but quickly covers it up with her million bit smile that make all the Fan ponies squeal , but makes me want to look away in disgust " Sure we should get started I have a party to go to with Fancy Pants after all and you of all ponies should know how impatient he can get"

I seethe with even more anger then before , but instead of sharing where I think she should go right now with that perfect little body of hers. I maintain my professionalism and begin the interview to get it over with.

Okay Fleur let's start with a question that most of your fans want to know the answer to. Are you really a trophy wife?

Of course not! I hate it when my fans put me with that term . A trophy wife is pony who represents her husband, because her husband is either unlikable or ugly. Fancy Pants is neither ! My darling Fancy pants is a very well liked pony who is very attractive and kind, so I am not a trophy wife since he doesn't need me to represent him.

Aww that is so sweet Fleur. Okay now onto the next question, Is it true that you molested a group of young male fillies once?

What! Don't tell me you actually believe in that rumor. That is completely un-true the fillies that were believed to be "molested" by me were actually Fancy Pants's nephews coming for a visit. I was left baby-sitting them while my husband was out and was caught in an unflattering pose while playing with them. The celebrity hounds jumped on the chance to give me a bad reputation , but the fillies can verify that the rumor is a lie.

Well it's good to hear that one of Equestria's most famed models is not a molester. Looking back at all your past modeling photo's Fleur, what is up with your tail?. In all your photos you tail is raised at a very unusual angle and most ponies have come to believe you have some sort of tail related condition

Oh the reason for my tail being at this angle is not , because of a condition. Oh no nothing as serious as that sorry if I concerned all my fans out there. The reason my tail is like this is , because I am double jointed in the tail. Since I am double tail jointed I can move my tail in all sorts of odd angles during my photo shoots.

Well that's intresting. Okay moving on how does it feel having a smaller fan base then Derpy and other ponies such as Minuette, Berry Punch, Lyra, and Doctor Whooves?

It makes me feel a little jealous , who wouldn't be jealous if you were in my position. I only get one less than a minute appearance in both season one and two combined while Derpy and Doctor Whooves get a lot of appearances in both season one and two and probably a lot more appearances in season three. Not to mention that I don't even have a proper tumblr or good fan fiction. The only fan base's I have are based on YouTube tributes and photos of me. Let's not forget half of the photos are very unflattering.

Well look at the bright side at least you are a background character. Me , I only am an O.C Original Character who is never going to be properly recognized and will never have a fan base unless this fan fic becomes very popular. But, moving on from my problems Fleur what made you decide to be a model?

I decided to become a model when I realized that I needed to have every ponies eyes on me. This might sound a little conceited , but that's just who I am a pony who needs every ponies eyes on her. I also love being able to dress in all sorts of outfit's and try different styles of makeup. I am a fashionista at heart who loves to show off her beauty.

Now Fleur a question most ponies want an answer to. How did you meet Fancy Pants?

I knew it would come to this whenever I have an interview this question always comes up. You know how Fancy Pants is always looking for something that interests him greatly. Well one day He was looking for a new thing to adore when he accidently stumbled onto the set of Equestria's Next Top Model. When I say stumbled I literally mean stumbled he wasn't looking where he was going and ended up on the stage crashing into me. At first I was furious at his intrusion , but to make it up to me he offered to get me a new dress to make up for the one he ruined. He made good on his promise and took me to get a new dress the next day , but soon we began to have a lot of fun together and we began seeing each other more an more often. Soon after that Fancy Pants proposed to me during the Grand Galloping Gala.

You and Fancy pants make a great couple, but all couple's have fights from time to time. What is on of the worst fight's you and Fancy Pants ever had?

Well this is a toughie it's hard for me to remember the fight's Fancy Pants and I had. Oh wait I just thought of one, it happened during the Sweet and Elite episode while we were both off camera. Fancy Pants left me saying that he had important business to do and I waited for him at Canterlot Square. I waited for an entire hour for him and when he came back he was covered with the scent of rarity's perfume. I thought he was cheating on me with that upstart little Ponyville mare which started a huge fight between the two of us. The fighting didn't end until Fancy Pants was able to prove that he wasn't cheating. Apparently he only crossed paths with rarity and then went to the jewelry store to get me a new necklace. You wouldn't believe how embarrassed I was afterwards.

Fleur what is a pet peeve of yours?

A pet peeve of mine is when ponies talk during the movies. This might seem like a small problem , but it really does annoy me to the extent that it makes me want to yell at the pony who is doing it. Whenever ponies talk during a good movie they ruin it for me especially if the pony has already seen the movie and is giving out spoilers that no one wants to hear.

________________________________________

*ding ding* finally!

" Fleur guess we are all out of time for today's interview" I say with a relieved look " anything you want to tell all your fans out there before I leave?"

" Yes , there is something i would like to tell me fans before we go" Fleur puts on the million bit smile and says "I want to thank all my fans for their daily support and I especially want to thank my Mr. Fancy Pantsies"

I begin to gag as I walk out of the door in a rush Fancy Pantsies you have got to be kidding me at least she only said it once or I may have vomited

Looks like I made it through another interview without maiming or killing anyone, although I was very close to doing it. Well at least I won't have to interview her again thank Celestia for that. Also sorry my fans for not doing Lyra or Bon Bon like I promised last week , but I got a special request to do Fleur so I did Fleur. Next pony will be Lyra Heartstrings or Bon Bon unless I get another special request for a different pony. Also I am also welcome to suggestions on the kind of questions I should give to my interviewe's. If you have a question suggestion or background pony suggestion just post it in the comments section or send a message to mariepam198.

See you all next week!

Interview #4: Lyra Heartstrings

Cue holiday themed music...

We wish you a Merry Christmas

We wish you a Merry Christmas

We wish you a Merry Christams

and a Happy Hearth's Warming Eve

Starlight and her enterouge begin to cheer and throw thier holiday themed hats into the air.

Happy Holiday's everyone

From, Starlight Charmer and her enterouge

Hi everypony I am finally back from my mini vacation to Manehatten. Sorry for making all my fans wait so long for the next interview from now on I promise to post a new interview weekly. Also I wish all my fans out there a Happy Hearth's Warming Eve. Now continuing with my normal interview routine... Hi everypony Starlight Charmer here once agian to bring news and stroies to the ponies. A few week ago my interview with Fleur De Lis has proven to be quite a sucess and I finally managed to get my revenge. Fleur De Lis will probbaly not be having a Happy Hearth's Warming Eve. In fact Fleur will not be going out in public any time soon. Not after I replaced her tail and mane conditioner with green hair dye. Mwah ha ha, wait a sec... did I just evil laugh. Oh dear sweet Celestia I hope Trixie is not contagious. Oh by the way if your wondering about Trixie , let's just say she will be spending her Hearth's Warming eve in a special mental facility with pinkamena. I hope she somehow manages to live through that experiece. Surprisingly Pinkie Pie the happiest pony in Pony Ville has a breaking point. Now to get back on topic. Today due to the amount of requests I have recieved I will be interviewing Lyra Heartstrings. Also this will be a super special holiday-themed interview to give everyone a little holiday spirit.

Lyra is another already well known background pony and has a fanbase very similar to Derpy Hooves. Just like Derpy Hooves Lyra has some charataristics and make her stand apart from the rest. One of her trademark characteristics is when she was sitting on a bench in a human-like posture in episode 7 "Dragon Shy". This one appearance is what made Lyra noticible to the MLP fanbase and later on this inspired fans to make mini-comics, artwork ,and fanfiction showing Lyra doing all sorts of human-like things. Another thing that Lyra is well known for is her relationship with Bon-Bon. After being seen often with Bon-Bon in show fans have begun to put the two together in all sorts of relationships which has led to Lyra and Bon-Bon fan shipping. In most of the fan tributes dedicated to Lyra and Bon-Bon they are shown as best friends with Lyra being the odd and more outgoing one and Bon-Bon being the more reserved one. In some Fan Tributes they are also shown as a romantic couple, perfect strangers, and even siblings or cousins. Also due to Lyra's Lyre cutie mark people believe that she is associated with music so there have also been Octavia/Lyra pairings and Vinyl Scratch/ Lyra pairings, but Bon-Bon/ Lyra is the most popular pairing. Surprisingly Lyra's original name was Heartstring's , but due to fan popularity Hasbro has made Lyra her official name while making Heartstrings her last name. Lyra is also a member of the Background six. The Background six are a fan created group of background ponies that are supposed to be equal to the Mane six. The Background six includes: Derpy-Twilight, Octavia- Rarity, Doctor Whooves- Pinkie Pie, Vinyl Scratch- Rainbow Dash, Lyra- Fluttershy, and Bon-Bon- Applejack.

Twas the dawn Of
Hearth's Warming Eve
And all through the town
the ponies were shopping
For last minute presents to give out

The town was all decorated
By the pegasi with care
In hopes
to make this year
the best Hearth's Warming Eve ever

The children were practicing
For thier later carols
While visions of presents
pranced in thier heads

And Cheerilee with her bag
And the childern with candy,
Were busy handing out gifts
to the rest of the ponies

When out by the square
There arose such a fight
The ponies couldn't resist checking it out

Away to the square
ponies ran in ones and twos
The pegasi and
Unicorns were arguing once agian

This same argument happened
every single year
both species
wanted to know
who was more important

Then suddenly
The earth ponies joined the fray
Wanting everpony
to know
that they were just as special

The visiting reporter
So wise and calm
Gave a big yell
to grab everypony's attention

The reporter announced
That it dosen't matter
What species you are
or the part you play
The thing to remember
is that each pony is special in thier own way

As the reporter said this she named each of the mane six by name

Now Twilight
Now Rainbow Dash
Now Pinkie Pie
on Flutter Shy
on Apple Jack
And Rarity

To front of the tree
the group went
as they began to sing unified carols
Soon everypony joined in
making this a Hearth's Warming Eve to remember

And you must be wondering by now what happened to the reporter's interview.
Well after all the carols were sung Lyra showed up and decided to get the interview done right away.

Told you this interview would be Holiday themed :D

Finally it's interview time that song was way too long and honestly it didn't even rhyme at all . If anyone had a problem with the holiday ponified song blame our editor Mariepam198.Well now to get down to business Lyra to start things off I want know what is your relationship with Bon-Bon? Are you friends or are the two of you dating ?

* begins to blush heavily* Wait what! What made you think that me are Bon-Bon are dating? Bon-Bon and I are just very close friends and ever since I met her we have become unseperable. She is like the peanut to my jelly ;3. The muffin to my derpy. My partner in crime if I ever decided to do anything illegal. I would continue on with this list , but you probbaly get the idea.

Are you sure about that? Don't you ever wish you could take your relationship a step further or you enjoy how things currently are between the two of you?

*Tries to hide the her face* No of course not I like the way things are between the two of us. Although if she ever wanted to take things a step further I wouldn't mind.....

Mariepam198 officially owes me 10 bits I knew Lyra felt this way ! *clears throat* Sorry I am getting back off topic arn't I well going on to the next question Is it true that a filly name Tootsie Flite is you and Bon-Bon's daughter Lyra? You and Bon-Bon have been depicted in fan art as Tootsie Flute's daughter and she kinda does look like you Lyra?

Where are you getting these questions from !? Like I said before Bon-Bon and I are friends our relationship does not go any further than that and we most certainly are not married and I don't have any children. Don't you know how child birth works? Bon-Bon and I are both females so it would be physically impossible for us to have a child together even if we wanted to! Can we please get off this topic I am getting tired of these Bon-Bon related questions

Ok ok Sorry don't attack the reporter attack the fanbase. Anyway moving on to another topic Why is it that you sit like a human? You have sat in this position so many times that you even have your own meme for it.

Wow really I have my own meme for it I didn't know that my position became popular. The reason I sit like this is, because I have a secret obsession for these mythical creatures called humans. They are so cool! They have these things called hands and they run on thier hindlegs which is very unique. One of my dreams is to someday find these humans and show them that I can be just like them. Who knows I might impress them so much that they might let me join thier herd.

* breaks out into spantenous laughter * Ha! Humans don't exist they are about as real as the seapony monster and the chupacabra. * continues laughing for a few minutes and then recovers* This is just what I needed a good laugh now back to this. Lyra I wanted to know how were you bouncing on a cloud during the episode "Sonic Rainboom" I mean you really are a unicorn right?

Well that depends on the day . You see sometimes I become a seapony usually it happens whenever It rains and most of the time I am a unicorn . Although there are some days when I become both which means I have both a tail and horn. While some times I become a pegasus this is very rare. Oh and about the cloud jumping thing Twilight taught me her walk on clouds spell and I used it on that day so I could get a front row seat to watch the sonic rainboom.

0-0 how is that even possible. Being able to change your type is fully impossible only an alicorn can do that. Wait is it possible that Lyra is an Alicorn? I'll go ask her later when the interview is over. Lyra I wanted to know, What is it like being a part of the background six?

Being a part of the background six is very cool and amazing. I enjoy being able to work with Bon-Bon, Vinyl Scratch, Octavia, Doctor Whooves, and Derpy. They are the best friends any pony could ever want and I am very lucky to be a part of the group. Although I really don't know how I am the equivalent of Fluttershy I mean have you seen here she is so shy and barely speaks unless if it's to apologize. I am nothing like that! I am very outgoing and cool, If it were up to me I would be the equivalent of Rainbow Dash and Bon-Bon would take the role of Fluttershy.

Lyra I want you to be very truthfull with your answer for this question. Who is your least favorite out of the background six or who annoys you the most?

Well I don't necesarily want to say I don't ike her , but if I had to choose I would say Ocatvia annoys me the most. Sometimes Ocatavia can be so stuck up and rude when it comes to certain things and when I told her about my human theory she laughed at my face. Although Octavia has a kind and sweet side also and I admire her passion for classical music. She even managed to snag invitations for all of us to go to the Grand Galloping Gala! So all in all I like Ocatavia even though she can sometimes be borderline annoying.

"Guess we should end the interview here for tonight" I say while putting away my interview notes into my saddlebag

"But, why the timer didn't ring yet" Lyra says with a puzzled look

I look at her and point towards a huge grup of singing ponies " Don't you want to do some carroling with everyone else?"

Lyra's mouth breaks into a smile as she grabs onto my hoof and practically drags me to the tree
