Teddie
[The scroll feed starts up innocently enough, everyone’s greeted to a nice big bear nose as Teddie begins to set things up almost as if he’s putting up a camera. When it looks like he has things the way he wants them, there’s a big bright smile as he backs up, ears perked up and eyes sparkling with excitement.

Teddie's learned a lot in these past few weeks, being stuck in bed has given him a lot of time to think. When bears think, things start to get...complicated. Without anything to distract him, an idea can form and he won’t let it go. In this particular case, Teddie's been questioning his relationship.

Not that he didn't like it, he loved it! It was everything he's always dreamed about and then some. But after what he can only describe as an unfortunate kissing accident, Teddie began questioning if there was something, erm, "wrong" with him. This was only fueled by his time in bed, reading children’s books to pass the time. As fun as it was to read about loving couples, princes and princesses, beauties and beasts, there was one thing that always stuck out to him: It was always pony couples. Never any ponies and bears, or heck, ponies and anything else. Those that did start off as frogs or monsters or dragons always turned into ponies in the end and lived happily ever after.

Teddie wanted that, too. He wanted his happily ever after, but most of all, Kyouko deserved one. If he was going to do this couple thing, he was going to do it right. Teddie had to become a pony.]

I know times have been hard and we've all been a lot recently. So, I decided to give everypony a surprise two weeks early.

The boutique in the Night Market is now offering a 40% off discount on all clothes, including costumes if you want to get yours done a month early for Nightmare Night.

I'm sure despite our troubles, Nightmare Night will go on as scheduled. Hope everypony is looking forward to the holiday.

[She clears her throat before continuing.]

So, how is everypony right now?

Hello, everypony. Some of you may not recognize me from around town, which is fair... I only just got one of these scrolls. My name is Bon Bon, and yes, that means I'm the one who runs the candy shop downtown. Either way, I've got a few announcements to make, now that the nasty business with the eclipses is over.

Firstly: Since it's only a month until Nightmare Night, I'm accepting suggestions for varieties of candy to make for the big day-before sale. Last year's celebrations being cut short by the actual Nightmare Moon I entirely blame on my stocking of way too much black licorice, so I want to know if you all can help make the holiday not a catastrophic failure this year.

Secondly: thanks to that eclipse, I actually do have a bit of a surplus here, so until the end of the month, all taffy is 75% off. Something to chew on for a while. [The mare chuckles, quietly, at her own joke.]

Finally: Until further notice, Zetta and all of those who collaborated with him are blacklisted from the Sugar Shack. I understand that it was apparently some super-secret plan to lure out the evil mastermind keeping all of the offworlders here, but you caused Lyra and Fluttershy to work themselves into exhaustion, made one of my employees sick, and turned the other into a bear! [Yes, Zetta, she's blaming you for that too even if it happened after the fact. And was technically Teddie's fault.] If you want me to lift the ban, then I'm expecting a pretty big apology. Yes, your majesties, that includes you two, too. I'm a businessmare, not a politician, and you hurt my bottom line, so I have to take action.

Thank you all for your time.

Peaceful morning in Equestria, the sun is shining, it's a balmy 22 degrees C... and there's a sign tacked to a table with a crown on it. What does it say?

I QUIT!

High above, Woona slings on a new hat.

"Marvelous, I'm leaving you with a week worth of food. Try not to eat it all. YO HO!"

And the Gokai Galleon launches leaving a very angry and shouting Ako from the window as Woona cackles. "FREEE! Come Pirate sister of mine, adventure awaits and diamonds and angry Gorilla people with rock-throwers!"

Later on, a physical scroll is sent to Celestia and Luna of the native rule. it has a single line of text.

"A lack of trust in family created Nightmare Moon."

I didn't do any of it for you... but I'm almost dismayed how stupid you all were. How many times, Equestria, did I say that I wouldn't resort to cheat tricks and dirty tactics to claim the throne and rulership of the world? Even I've admitted to more than a few of you that I'll have to work with you all to take out the Pale Pony once and for all.

And what happened when this all began? You friendship-minded ponies who pay lip service all assumed the absolute worst. And then you behaved like total jerks. You couldn't even put up a real fight or stop me, so you just decided to be pains in my ass. Messing with my castle? Throwing stuff through the windows? Broadcasting music over the Everfree? Waterboarding my changeling minion with my own freaking milk?

But that's not what amuses the hell out of me. What amuses the hell out of me is that you're still up to all of it. Even with everything out in the open, you're still writing angry notes to me denying me service and locking me out of your shops and keeping me away from your goods... and keeping my damn couch. And still broadcasting music over the Everfree.

I was working to defeat the person who brought us here, who has eaten the souls of your friends, who's done horrible things to you just because she could, and what do I get? Rage and fury, indignation and mockery, pranks and torment. I'm actually kind of impressed. Very demonic. I've said Equestria wasn't that much unlike a Netherworld already. Guess I was more right than you know.

Well, ponies, here's your chance to find out who you are. Right now, the damn Pale Pony has blocked all of my freaking mana power. Fact is, I can barely even move, which is a real pain in the ass when my freaking couch is gone. No spells, no minions... not even the changelings, I gave them time off with pay after the whole milk incident.

I'm as alone and defenseless as you could ever want me. So if you want to put an end to evil? Or just rid Equestria of a nuisance? Or just get whatever petty acts of revenge you want? Now's your chance. Let's see your true nature. Let's give me one last laugh as Calice turns out to be more right about you all than she was about me.
