Lost: More Than Just A Friend...

After Lyra had been set in her bed with an ice pack to cool her down, Bon Bon was getting ready to leave. She put on her saddlebags as she got ready to head out.

"I'll be back soon, I just have to go get something. Will you be alright here alone?"

Lyra could barely speak, but managed to get the right words through her mouth. "huff, huff, I'll be, huff, fine, huff, huff, huff."

The earth pony smiled. "Take care. And please don't stress out like this again. I don't think I can carry you up into your room anymore, let alone just set you in your bed. See ya!"

Lyra smiled at her roommate. "huff, huff, Bye. huff, huff, huff..."

Lyra just lay there for a while, looking up at the ceiling, thinking of what had happened both yesterday, and today. *Almost everything that had happened after this morning happened with Roe, and the more time I spent with him...the more I seemed to like him, as a friend. Then, why do I feel like we are more than just, friends? We are just friends, right? Actually, the more I think about it...I think I actually like him. Like, Like like him. How would I be able to tell him? Would he be okay with it, or would he...be, freaked out about it. I'm pretty sure the others, well of course not Bon Bon, would think it would be weird for a human and a mare to be 'Going out' together. But, I still like him. I need to tell Bon Bon when she gets home. But, how will I explain it? I can't just go up to her and go, 'Hey Bon Bon? You know that human, Roe? I Like like him!' that would be too weird and incredibly stupid by my standards. I need to bring it up, just not tell her instantly and humiliate myself.*

Lyra just laid down on the bed, thinking of a way to tell her roommate her feelings for Roe without embarrassing herself.

A few moments later, Bon Bon had walked in with something in her saddlebags. Lyra still was staring at the ceiling when she greeted her friend.

"Hey, Bon Bon?"

Her friend sat the saddlebags down next to the bed and raised an eyebrow. "Yeah? What is it Lyra?"

"Would you think it would be weird, if a human and a mare were 'Going Out'?"

Bon Bon could kind of see where this was going, so she decided to play along for her friends sake. Even though it would be weird, she would be okay with Lyra being 'The Mare'. "No. Why?"

Lyra shrugged. "I don't know. It just came to my mind."

The earth pony got on top of the bed and laid down. "Let me guess. You Like like Roe."

Lyra's face turned redder than Big Macintosh. "How did you...?"

"It is kind of easy to understand where you are going when I know you so well. Also, if somepony asks about two ponies, or in this case, a human and a pony, 'Going Out', then it is easy to tell that you like him."

Lyra facehoofed. "I knew I should have just brought it up less quickly..."

Bon Bon smiled as she remembered what she had gotten for Lyra. Reaching for the saddlebags, Bon Bon pulled out a brown paper bag with a picture of a cupcake on it. "I went to Surgarcube Corner and got you some special cupcakes Pinkie Pie had made. She called them 'Pinkie Cakes'. They say that they tasted so good, the cupcakes were just flying off of the shelves! It took allot of bits to buy just six cupcakes! Six! It was three bits for two cupcakes, so I had to pay nine bits for these! Can you believe it?!"

As Bon Bon grabbed a plate from the nightstand and poured the six cupcakes, each with the same pink pattern that looked like Pinkie Pie's face, Lyra stopped staring at the ceiling long enough to look at the cupcakes. "They must be THAT good!" She said with a chuckle.

The two each grabbed a cupcake and took a small bite at the same time. As if on cue, the two mares devoured the sweets, each getting three baked goods.

The cakes had a delicious cream filling inside so tasty, almost nopony could describe it! The frosting was so indescribably sweet, almost everypony was craving more!

After they had finished, Lyra changed the subject to what she was talking about before. "So...how would I tell him how I feel? Do I have to just, give him a present or something?"

Bon Bon thought hard about what her friend would have to do. "I...really don't know. I guess a present would be a good start..."

The two talked about it for the rest of the evening, coming up with ideas on how Lyra can tell Roe how she feels.
