Page 736 — Officially A Sleepover

Guest Author's Note: "Spontaneous song is a feature of some worlds, such as Friendship is Magic. While improvisational song — or just rhyme — is difficult, it does happen in some games, and not just FiM ones. I've played a number of games in Final Fantasy settings where a Taru-Taru who did not rhyme every line all the time was seen as just taruible. It can be easier to treat this as an extreme version of preparing actions in advance, for instance a session-opening extended response to the challenge the party faced at the end of last session, spending half an hour or so between sessions to work out lyrics and beat (or to select a song to rip off and come up with new lyrics).
"Can you relay stories of characters who at least occasionally broke out in song or extended rhyme, where the player or GM actually performed the song/rhyme? (For text games, where the player or GM actually typed the full thing out, even if it did make a wall of text. Awesome text in quantity can still be awesome.)"

Twilight Sparkle: Wait. I just realized, you're in my house for the night. Do you know what this means?!?
Rarity: Yes, yes, by now it is officially a sleepover.

Rarity: How do you mean?
Applejack: Well, how do I put it? You're all genteel, and that really isn't me.
Rarity: Now, now. We may grate on each others' nerves, but we're friends, ♪ aren't we? ♪
Twilight Sparkle: Er…
Applejack: Darn right! ♪ We might fight a lot, and there are times you leave me hanging. ♪
Rarity: ♪ Even when all seems lost, and chaos is all you are bringing. ♪
Applejack: ♪ I know you have my back, and in return I have yours. ♪
Rarity: ♪ So we go on the attack, and victory shall be ours! ♪
Twilight Sparkle: Oh! Toss me a line!
Applejack and Rarity: ♫ Between the six of us, there's nothing we can't do! ♫
