Notes: My Little Pony: Equestria Girls is based on Hasbro's My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic which was created by Lauren Faust.

Bon Bon and her best friend, Lyra Heartstrings, graduated from Canterlot High a few months ago. They started going to college along with several of their former Canterlot High friends.

One day Bon Bon ran around the hallway while looking excited. She found Lyra and said, "I've got big news."

Lyra asked, "What's going on?"

Bon Bon answered, "I finished writing the screenplay for the school play." Bon Bon handed a spare copy of it to Lyra and said, "The play's going to be presented in front of hundreds of people."

Lyra replied, "I'm proud of you."

Bon Bon said, "I would never have been able to get this play done without your support."

Lyra blushed and replied, "Thank you, but you're giving me too much credit."

Bon Bon said, "I feel like you always deserve more credit."

Lyra replied, "You're the best."

Vice Principal Cheerlie walked up to Bon Bon and said, "Principal Cinch wants you to come to her office as soon as possible."

Bon Bon was nervous that Principal Cinch was mad about something that had to do with her screenplay. She asked, "Did Principal Cinch tell you why she wants to see me?"

Vice Principal Cheerlie answered, "I'm sorry, but she didn't tell me anything else."

Bon Bon sighed and said, "She probably wants to complain about my screenplay."

Lyra patted Bon Bon on the back and replied, "I'm sure that's not what's going on. She might to congratulate you on doing such a good job."

Bon Bon responded, "I'm not so sure about that. Principal Cinch doesn't seem like the type of person who ever wants to give her students good news."

Lyra said, "You won't find out what's going on unless you visit her."

Bon Bon replied, "Fair point."

A few minutes later Bon Bon appeared in Principal Cinch's office. She sat down while looking nervous. She said, "Um, hi Principal Cinch."

Principal Cinch replied, "Greetings Bon Bon. Is your play going to be ready on time?"

Bon Bon said, "Yes. The cast learned all of their lines and Rarity's made more than enough costumes. Did you read my screenplay?"

Principal Cinch replied, "I never read that type of stuff. It would make me sleep on the job which would be bad for my reputation."

Bon Bon asked, "Is there any specific reason you asked me to come here?"

Principal Cinch had an intimidating look on her face while saying, "You have quite a responsibility."

Bon Bon asked, "What do you mean?"

Principal Cinch answered, "Your school play needs to razzle dazzle the people that attend the event. Being the writer of a screenplay automatically gives you a reputation. If the writing of your play impresses the audience you'll have a good reputation, but if your school play turns out badly you'll ruin this school's reputation."

Bon Bon said, "I have confidence that the play won't be bad."

Principal Cinch had an angry look on her face while saying, "If your play turns out a dud this will be your last year at this college."

Bon Bon said, "You can't make me lose three years of college just because of a mediocre play."

Principal Cinch had an evil smile on her face while saying, "A person with a reputation as strong as mine can easily have you removed from the college. Don't let me down."

Bon Bon walked around the hallway while looking a little depressed. Lyra asked, "What's going on?"

Bon Bon answered, "If the play gets bad reception I'll get kicked out of college."

Lyra replied, "Principal Cinch couldn't do that to you."

Bon Bon said, "Her reputation could lead to the end of college for me."

Lyra nervously replied, "But college would suck without you. We wouldn't be able to participate in anymore Battle of the Bands and you couldn't pretend to be a secret agent, called Sweetie Drops, anymore."

Bon Bon tried to look confident while saying, "My screenplay isn't a flawless masterpiece, but I think that the crowd will like it. Did you read the screenplay?"

Lyra held hands with Bon Bon while saying, "Yes and I think that you did a great job. I believe that the people will be amazed by it."

Bon Bon smiled and said, "Thank you Lyra. I can always count on you to lift my spirits."

Lyra replied, "Anything for you."

Bon Bon said, "I better see how the cast and crew are doing."

Bon Bon went to the set of the play. She found Rarity and asked, "How are things going?"

Rarity answered, "Absolutely wonderful. I've designed dozens of my finest outfits."

Trixie came by, wearing a purple princess dress, and asked, "Is this the best dress you made for me?"

Bon Bon asked, "Is it not good enough?"

Trixie answered, "It's not good enough for someone as great and powerful as me."

Bon Bon nervously said, "Please don't complain Trixie. This is a school play, not a theatrical movie."

Trixie sighed and said, "I suppose this is good by the standards of school plays."

Rarity proudly replied, "Thank you."

Bon Bon said, "This play has to be something special."

Trixie proudly said, "I'll save this play from being boring. I'm the female lead of the play so I'm going to to be as great and powerful. However you picked a bland choice to play the male lead."

Flash Sentry replied, "Hey."

Rarity said, "He was only picked, because he agreed to be in it for minimum wage."

Flash replied, "Hey again."

Trixie stuffed some hay into Flash's mouth and said, "Don't ruin my great and powerful acting with your dorky personality."

Flash proudly said, "I'm actually pretty cool." Rarity and Trixie rolled their eyes.

A few weeks later it was the night of the play. Bon Bon looked around and saw a few hundred people walking in.

Pinkie Pie jumped to Bon Bon and asked, "How are you feeling about the play?"

Bon Bon answered, "I'm excited, but nervous."

Pinkie Pie said, "You're nervouscited."

Bon Bon asked, "Is that a real term?"

Pinkie Pie answered, "I don't know, but I wish you the best of luck."

Bon Bon smiled and said, "Thank you."

Bon Bon looked around and saw Mr. and Mrs. Cake walk in. Mrs. Cake asked, "Aren't you excited for the play?"

Mr. Cake answered, "Yep, but I hope it doesn't turn out bad. Awkward acting makes me faint."

Trixie walked up to Bon Bon and said, "I assure you that this will be the best play that you've ever ben at."

Bon Bon replied, "Thank you Trixie. I hope the crowd loves you."

Trixie proudly said, "The crowd will absolutely adore me."

Bon Bon replied, "If you say so."

Lyra walked up to Bon Bon and said, "I think that the audience is going to have a strong reaction to the play."

Bon Bon replied, "I hope that it's the good type of strong."

Lyra gently rubbed Bon Bon's hair while saying, "Just in case they don't like your play I want you to know that I think you did a good job. I don't think just because we're so close. I seriously think that you have talent."

Bon Bon replied, "Thank you. You're the best." She hugged Lyra and said, "You're such an awesome friend."

Lyra giggled and replied, "Sometimes I forget we're best friends and not a couple."

Bon Bon asked, "What do you mean?"

Lyra blushed with embarrassment and answered, "Nevermind."

Bon Bon and Lyra sat next to Maud Pie. Maud got out her rock and said, "Boulder really wanted to see a play."

Trixie walked onstage and said, "Prepare to be amazed by the flawless and eloquent acting of the great and powerful Trixie!" The crowd was surprised by how boastful Trixie was, but they were nice enough to clap. Trixie had a smug smile on her face while the crowd clapped. She was obsessed with getting attention.

A few minutes later the play started. The play was about a spoiled princess, played by Trixie, who meets a generic prince, played by Flash Sentry. The princess and prince eventually bond and fall in love.

Trixie's performance was meant to only be a little snooty and overdramatic, but Trixie hammed it up hard. The fact that she had peanut butter crackers on her chin wasn't something that the audience appreciated. Despite all that the crowd, other than Principal Cinch, seemed to be enjoying the play.

After ten minutes of Trixie being silly Flash's character showed. His acting was so generic that it made Mr. Cake faint.

Bon Bon watched the play while feeling nervous. She had anxiety about the crowd giving up on the play and Principal Cinch kicking her out of college.

Lyra could tell that Bon Bon was worried so she held held her hand and whispered, "It's going to be okay."

Bon Bon whispered, "Thank you." Bon Bon kept thinking about what Lyra said about forgetting that they weren't dating. Bon Bon wondered why Lyra would think that. Bon Bon had considered Lyra her greatest friend and the most loyal and supportive person she knew. Thinking of Lyra as more than a friend felt a little weird for Bon Bon, but she was emotionally moved by how highly Lyra thought of her.

After the play was over Trixie bowed which made a few hundred people clap. After that Flash bowed which made a few dozen people clap.

Trixie said, "It feels good to be the fan favorite of the play."

Flash tried to be nice so he said, "You did a great job."

Trixie replied, "I saved the play from your blandness."

Flash said, "Hey."

Trixie replied, "You're lucky I got some more for you." She put hay in Flash's mouth. Flash was embarrassed to admit that he thought the hay tasted good.

Bon Bon walked up to Principal Cinch and asked, "What did you think of my play?"

Principal Cinch answered, "I thought it was boring and had very questionable acting."

Flash said, "Hey again."

Trixie asked, "How much hay could you possibly eat?"

Principal Cinch answered, "Despite my distaste for your play don't worry about getting expelled."

Bon Bon responded, "But you said that a bad play would get me kicked out of college."

Principal Cinch said, "I didn't like your play, but the crowd enjoyed it. Thanks to that your reputation has been saved."

Bon Bon asked, "Are you at least a little proud of me?"

Principal Cinch answered, "Eh."

Lyra hugged Bon Bon and said, "I'm super proud of you."

Bon Bon replied, "And I'm proud of you."

Lyra asked, "What did I do?"

Bon Bon answered, "You inspired me and always filled me with hope. You helped me through any dark times that I may have had."

Lyra replied, "You're welcome."

Bon Bon asked, "May I give you a kiss?"

Lyra blushed and said, "I'd love it if you did." Bon Bon gave Lyra a kiss on the cheek.

Bon Bon nervously asked, "Was that okay?"

Lyra answered, "Yes, but I was hoping for something sweeter."

Bon Bon jokingly asked, "Are you talking about the candy type of kiss?"

Lyra answered, "No." She kissed Bon Bon on the lips.

Bon Bon blushed and said, "Thank you." She took a long pause and said, "You're my best friend."

Lyra replied, "I think we're more than friends now."

Principal Cinch replied, "Kissing at school is bad for your reputation." Bon Bon and Lyra ignored Principal Cinch. They were too busy realizing that romance is magic.
