Bon Bon's Lament

Bon Bon woke up and found a certain large presence missing beside her. Remembering yesterday, she shot out of the bed and looked around for the human.

“TAYLOR?!” She shouted.

“Down here Bon Bon!” She heard his voice echo from down the stairs.

She breathed a sigh of relief as went down the stairs, not caring about her messy mane and tail.

A heavenly smell wafted towards her as she could hear the sizzling of eggs in a frying pan.

“So Luna payed me a visit last night.” Taylor said in a nonchalant way.

“What?!” Bon Bon was stunned by his statement.

“Yeah, she had a few things to say about you.” Taylor said, turning his attention away from the pan and onto the cream coated mare.

“What did she say?” Bon Bon said, looking up at the human with a look of urgency in her sapphire eyes.

Taylor kneeled down to eye level with the mare and smiled.

“She said that she has never seen a connection like us before. That even Cadence was baffled by our love. I also learned that we share the same feelings for each other, that our love is special.” Taylor said.

Bon Bon knew full well that the Lunar Princess was aware of her attachment to Taylor. It appeared as if Luna had taken it upon herself to confess the feelings Bon Bon hid for so long from the human she loved.

“She-she told you that?” Bon Bon whispered, trying to hold back another salvo of tears.

“Yes. I wouldn’t have it any other way than with you Bon Bon. You love and care for me as if I were a pony, yet I’m a human and could easily have been imprisoned and experimented on. Yet, you took me in and helped me become accustomed to your society, something someone on Earth would never have done for a loser like me.” He said, gently caressing her face as he did so.

Taylor was about to continue but Bon Bon cut him off.

“Shh. You don’t need to say anything more. I love you, I know you love me back. Our relationship may be looked down upon by some ponies but screw them, they won’t change my feelings for you” Bon Bon confessed, releasing the load on her chest she had for 2 months now.

She leaned in and kissed him, her lips gently brushing against his own as her forelegs wrapped around his broad shoulders.

“Why don’t we have some breakfast and then we can watch as few movies. I picked up the  Daring Do trilogy while I was out this morning.” Taylor said.

“Sounds fine to me.” Bon Bon agreed as she sat down at the kitchen table.

She could see the living room beyond the table and looked at the couch and saw an odd case.

“Taylor? What’s in that case on the sofa?” Bon Bon asked as Taylor set down the plates of eggs and toast on the table.

Taylor looked to the sofa and smiled.

“It’s a guitar. We have them back on Earth just a little bit larger. I had this one custom made by a woodworker in Canterlot.” He said

“How did you afford that?’ Bon Bon looked at him inquisitively.

“It was a gift from the princess’ after I let Luna infiltrate my dreams for a week to study my sleeping habits. It was nasty business at first but she can do it without hurting me or herself now.” He chuckled.

“Can you play it?” Bon Bon asked.

“Now?” Taylor asked, raising an eyebrow.

Bon Bon nodded.

“Why not?” Taylor shrugged, walking over to the case and clicking it open, revealing the beautiful instrument inside. It was a black acoustic guitar like the one he had back home. He gave it a stum and found it perfectly tuned.

“Here, I’ll play one of my favorite songs from back on Earth. I think you’ll like it.” Taylor said, sitting back down at the kitchen table, poising his fingers along the fretboard.

As Taylor played, Bon Bon closed her eyes and swayed to the somber tune of the song. Her thoughts became distant matters as she could only hear Taylor’s beautiful music coming from both his instrument and his voice. The song reminded her of sad memories and long lonely nights before Taylor’s arrival to Equestria.

Taylor played with no sense of who he was performing to. It could’ve been a crowd of thirty thousand people and he wouldn’t care much. He had gotten lost in his own music, reached a nirvana of sorts. As the song drew to a close, Bon Bon opened her eyes to see Taylor play the last few chords and his fingers move away from the strings.

“Could you play one more song? I mean, if it’s not any trouble...” Bon Bon said.

“Anything for you.” Taylor smiled as he lined up his fingers again.

Bon Bon was elevated once again in a feeling of extreme relaxation. The tune was happier and more cheery as he strummed away. Bon Bon could do without the movies for the day, she would settle for this over that anytime at all. She loved the way his voice reverberated off the walls of the kitchen. With both Taylor and Bon Bon lost in musical bliss, they had not noticed that they had visitors.

Minuette and Sword Breaker, now out of his armor, stood in the doorway. Minuette had heard the music coming from her friend’s house on an early morning walk with her coltfriend and decided to check on her. Inside, she found the human and the mare lost in music. As the song ended, Minuette sniffled, a tear rolling down her cheek.

Taylor’s head snapped around to see the two ponies standing in the doorway.

“Well don’t just stand there! Come in!” Taylor beckoned.

“We were walking and heard the music coming from the house and were checking to see if you were ok.” Minuette said, trying to cover up her intrusion.

“It’s ok. Would you like to join us? We’re binging on the Daring Doo Trilogy after this!” Taylor offered.

Sword’s eyes lit up like a little filly on Hearth’s Warming Eve.

“I see we have a big fan,” Taylor chuckled.

“Why not?” Minuette shrugged as she walked in.

The first movie began shortly after Taylor finished breakfast. Taylor mentioned something about the movie being an “Indiana Jones rip off” but none of the ponies got the point, seeing as it was an “Earth thing” he said.

Taylor did enjoy the movies though, packed with action and comedy, it was his kind of movie. Taylor sat with Bon Bon in his lap, giving her the occasional scratch behind the ear. Minuette was curled up on the sofa next to Sword Breaker, who would do the same as best he could, being a pony, he had less dexterity with a hoof than with a hand.

It was late after the final movie ended. Sword Breaker took Minuette home and left Taylor and Bon Bon alone on the couch. Their snuggle session was interrupted by a mutual growl from both of their bellies.

“How does lasagna sound for dinner?” Taylor asked Bon Bon.

“I haven’t had good lasagna in years!” She exclaimed.

“Well then, I’ll do my best to change that.” He smiled, getting up to cook.

Taylor had come through on his promise. The dinner was absolutely divine and made Bon Bon’s taste buds dance.

After cleaning up, Taylor laid down on the sofa, Bon Bon planting herself directly on top of his chest as he caressed her beautiful curves.

“So Taylor?” Bon Bon asked him after breaking from an affectionate kiss,

“Yeah babe?”

“Wanna take this upstairs?” She cooed, batting her eyes as a familiar heat burned in her loins.

“I would love to.”
