"So...Jacob...tell me about yourself." Bon-Bon whispered as she made circles on the table with her hoof. We had just finished dinner and here she was trying to steal my ma- I mean Jacob. We ate the lasagna that Fleetfoot provided as well as some brownies and the moment we finished she was already trying to get in bed with him. I tried to resist starting into those cool emerald pools he had in place of eyes. The only thing that could distract me was his short, but silky looking black hair.

"Not much to say, played some football in high school. When I wasn't practicing I was often trying to paint or learn to play piano in my spare time." He said with a shrug of his shoulders.

"Oh my...such a strong stallion, I bet you did amazingly at it and an appreciation for the arts too...a rare combo. You must have a dozen mar- girlfriends back home..."

"I...thanks, and no not really. Haven't had a date in at least three months." As soon as he said that I saw Bon-Bon's eyes gleam as if she just found diamonds and she pounced on the opportunity.

"Such a shame...you know you don't have to be alone like that..."

Shit! Move aside bitch!

"Yeah! I mean it's been so long since I've been on a good date myself and Bon-Bon here is sadly into mares. She actually has a crush on the one you see walking around outside!"

"Really?" He said, glancing out the window. When he was distracted I quietly cast a quick mute spell on Bon-Bon, shutting her up while I went in for the kill.

"I didn't see anyone."

"Oh must of just missed her." I said, Bon-Bon practically glaring daggers at me while pointing to her mouth. Her lips were moving but nothing meaningful came out, kinda reminded me of high school teachers.

"What's wrong with Bon-Bon?"

"Oh nothing, she just gets a little nervous sometimes and gets quiet all of a sudden." I smiled, I was doing all I could to not burst out laughing at this point and she looked ready to kill me.

"Ah, that's gotta suck. Well anyway, how are you doing lately?"

"Oh it's been better...some nights just feel so cold and lonely..."

"What about Bon-Bon? You have her to keep you company don't you?"

He can't possibly be this dense...

"Sure...but the house lacks a masculine touch..."

"Oh...well I'm here."

I couldn't help but giggle. "Yes you are. Say, why don't we do something to commemorate your first day here. Let's go to the park!"

"Alright, sure. Lead the way." He answered with a neutral expression.

"Great!" I subtly removed the mute spell from Bon-Bon and seized my lyre from my room. "Let's go!"

If I was lucky, perhaps music would get across the point that words had failed to. On the way to the park I saw a number of ponies out and about with humans accompanying them as well and as could be expected most of the conversations I could hear involved the arrival of humans and everyone's thoughts about them. Not that I really cared with my own sexy human right beside me...

Bon-Bon and I found our usual bench in a relatively secluded area of the park, though today even this section had dozens of folks milling about. As we approached I realized a problem. The bench only ever had enough room for the two of us. Where would my sexy h-I mean Jacob sit? An idea struck me like Bon-Bon's hoof the time she caught my eating all the cookies.

I let Jacob and Bon-Bon share the bench as I stood in front of them with my lyre at the ready.

"Oh cool, how long have you played a harp?" Jacob asked.

"It's a lyre." I said, trying not to sound frustrated. "Actually...I don't even remember when I started. When I was little my mother found that I really loved music. So one birthday she came home with a beautiful new lyre that one of her relatives made just for me...I was just a filly so I didn't quite appreciate it as much as I should have. I did try to play it but it tried to hard to force music. I got frustrated and gave up..."

"But you gave it another try." He said with a soft smile.

"I did." I returned his smile. "It wasn't for a few years but I was cleaning the attic when I found it again. I brushed the dust off and took it out to the park that night when I was feeling really down after a terrible week and I tried my luck at it one more time."

"And you played it beautifully." Bon-Bon commented.

"I didn't know it at the time but she was just around the tree you guys are in front of now." I added.

"It was after a bad break-up and I went to the park to relax for a while...I cried for a little while before falling asleep. As soon as I woke up it was already dark outside and the first thing I heard was someone starting to play an instrument." Bon-Bon recalled.

"I started with a few notes and it became more complex and flowed better."

"That's what you called it?" Bon-Bon grinned. "You poured your soul into that thing! It nearly made me start crying again it was so wonderful."

I blushed and looked away from her and Jacob for a moment. "Thanks Bon-Bon." I looked at Jacob now. "That's actually the story of how I met Bon-Bon as well. When I was finished she came out and complimented the performance and we started hanging out shortly after. It all happened right where you're sitting too. That's why this is our favorite spot."

"Wow...that's amazing." Jacob said in an impressed tone. "Do you think you could play the same song now that you played then?"

I paused for a moment to consider. "Yes. It's been a while though so I might be rusty on this one."

I took a deep breath and started with the first few notes slowly. The song never quite fit into any genre but if any it fit closest to blues. Other than that it was something all its own and the best part was that it was mine, and only mine.

The few gentle notes soon became a one-mare symphony that flowed forth like a river. I didn't focus as hard as I could on my playing, and yet it came perfectly on its own. I closed my eyes and just played away. The minutes slowly rolled along, and before I knew it I had been playing for at least ten minutes. When I opened my eyes a small crowd was gathering around. A moment later the song finally concluded.

My audience applauded for a few long moments before dispersing and going on about their business. Bon-Bon was smiling and Jacob seemed thoroughly awe-struck.

"That's really impressive. Wish I could learn to play like that."

"Thank you. I'm sure you have plenty of talents though."

"Not really." He shrugged. "I do have a few talents but nothing big. I can show you later if you're still interested."

"Alright."

After that our time at the park consisted mostly of Bon-Bon and I sharing stories of things that happened when we were in college or the kind of things we liked to do in our spare time.

Eventually night began to roll around and we returned home. I was left alone with Jacob while Bon-Bon attempted to cook a dish she hoped he would like as well. As we talked I noticed Bon-Bon constantly poking her head out to make sure I wasn't making a move on our guest.

Thankfully it didn't take her long to finish and we were able to eat. The meal consisted of simply potatoes, bread and steamed broccoli, best to start with simple meals to gauge what he likes.

Shortly after we started eating Jacob was the first to start a conversation.

"So what do you guys do for a living exactly?

"I make and sell baked goods and treats." Bon-Bon said.

"I want to make music professionally one day but for now I make money doing art commissions." I said before taking a sip of water.

"Oh cool. I was a famous porn star back home."

Caught completely off-guard, I may or may not have accidentally spit the water out at Bon-Bon. Thankfully for her she had quick reflexes and ducked out of the way. "What!?" I shouted in a high pitched tone.

"Could you provide a demonstration?" Bon-Bon asked with a sneaky grin.

Slut. I was gonna ask that!

While he said it Jacob had maintained a perfectly calm expression, but now I could see just how hard he was trying not to laugh.

"Just kidding!" He burst out laughing. "I worked as a carpenter's assistant for about a year though."

"Heh...sorry. Dinner was amazing by the way." He said as he stretched out his joints. Despite it feeling like we only just sat down I couldn't believe he had completely cleaned his plate.

"You eat fast." Bon-Bon noted.

"I don't usually wolf it down like that, guess I was hungrier than I thought."

Bon-Bon smiled. "Well you ate it. At least someone likes my cooking!" She glared at me.

"Hey! That was only when you tried cooking spicy food!"

"Wuss."

"Sorry if I don't like food that'll burn my mouth."

"And make you cry like a filly." She shot back.

"Ahem...girls? Hey so if you don't mind is it alright if I took a shower? I'm kinda sweaty and you two wouldn't want me to smell up the place."

Can I watch? I thought wishfully.

"No problem. You can strip down and throw your clothes in the hamper. There should be some towels right next to it."

"Oh um...alright." He found his way to the laundry room and made sure to close the door before disrobing. He came out a moment later with a towel that was barely long enough to wrap around his waist, but damn was it still a show when he walked out. Bon-Bon let out a low whistle as he came out. Oh he works out alright.

"Take your time in there, we got plenty of hot water." Bon-Bon added.

I know humans weren't allowed to bring firearms into Equestria but damn was that boy packing heat.

A few long moments later Jacob had shuffled his way into the bathroom, closing the door behind him and starting the water.

"I would ride that fine ass all night long..."

"Pffft, sorry Bons, this one's mine."

"As if. I know this game better than you do."

"Age before beauty is still a thing I suppose." I grinned.

"Good thing I have both."

"Just don't be mad when I win." I crossed my hooves in my lap.

"Oh come on, it's not like we can both have h...him...wait..." She put a hoof to her chin and her eyes widened. "Well...we could..."

"Wait, what are you saying..." My own eyes widened as I caught onto her idea. It was a long-shot but a chance nonetheless. Most of the books we had read suggested that humans were as a rule of thumb, usually monogamous. Equestrians are usually monogamous too but it's not considered strange for more than two to be in a relationship together and is far more accepted in pony society than human society.

"I think we have a game plan in mind..." Bon-Bon cooed, grinning ear to ear.

"But what if one of us got pregnant or something?"

"I don't think he'd be able to...because they're from a whole different world their genes are much different, we might be mammals but we wouldn't be compatible. Also if he had an STD we wouldn't be able to catch it. It would die because it basically wouldn't recognize us as possible hosts."

"Seriously? That's kinda weird. Sounds kinda suspect..."

"Well there's a flip side to it. It'd make treating them with pony medicine a challenge all on its own, though doctors think that over time their bodies will start to adapt to living in Equestria."

"So enjoy it while it lasts?"

"Hell yeah!" She cheered, but not too loudly.

"Alright we need to calm down and think or we could blow it. How are we gonna do this? Just like go up and-"

"Oh no, no. Subtlety my dear Lyra, will take us a long way. We gotta drop hints and tease him a little. We can't be too easy."

"Yeah except like nine out of ten guys never notice any of the "hints" and the ones that do are usually gay."

"Good point...well we can try to be a little more clear then if he's not getting the message.

"Wait! What if he is gay?"

"Buy a strap-on? Invite a stallion?"

"Realistically."

I could only shrug. "I dunno. He might swing both ways. Never know unless we try."

A moment later we heard the water stop and it wasn't long before Jacob stepped out, his towel once again struggling to hold on.

"Well all you gals had to do was ask." He smirked.

Author's Note

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaack, bitches!

Sorry for a long delay, kinda hit a roadblock on how to carry it forward for a bit and mostly drowned in school related crap. Hope y'all enjoyed! Updates and sequels to other things soon to follow!

Btw, could always use more proof-reading on my stuff if anyone wants to help do so.
