Mis-Adventures with Lyra

Last Time on is-Adventures with Lyra:

"No... Muffin?" Derpy asked."No... Muffin?" Derpy tearfully asked.

"No muffin." Bon Bon responded, accidentally tearing up, as well.

"But... But... MUFFIN!" Derpy cried at the top of her lungs...

She got bigger... And bigger... And BIGGER...Until...

"Derpy?!" Bon Bon cried hard. All that was left in front of her were bits of pony...

"Hey Bon! I'm ho..." A mint colored pony stopped at the door. Her eyes were frozen wide open while looking at all the pony parts...

"It's not even my birthday! Thank you!" Lyra bounced into the house the same way Pinkie Pie would. She noticed a hoof on the couch and pounced on it like a cat. She began to nibble on the hoof playfully...

"I no eat Derpy after she 'Boom'." Bon spoke to Lyra now like a mother to a foal...

"Well, maybe after the concert... We could... Get some dinner?" Lyra moved her head right in Lyra's lap. She looked up into Bon Bon's eyes. Bon Bon returned the look of affection...

Hey Bon? Can I tell you a secret?"

"Of course... Lyra...."

"I love you." She quickly confesses, pulling Bon into a kiss...

"Lyra... I..." Before Bon Bon could finish her sentence, Lyra teleported out of the house and began to run towards the music hall.

"Lyra... I love you too..."

Lyra quickly ran away from her small house near the center of Ponyville. HThere were maner heart was pounding hard and her minty green coat was adorned with a bright red blush. She smiled wide for confronting her fear but was worried about how Bon Bon would react, not hearing her also profess her love. It wasn't common for mares to fall for mares, Lyra thought. It was mainly stallions and mares. She admired her best friend for a while. Just thinking of Bon Bon made her run towards the music hall tough. Her pony knees, if they have any, began to grow weak, thinking of Bon Bon's cute, swirled mane and her delicate hooves and her vanilla coat. She had memorized Bon Bon's look and imagined how they'd be together. But, a few weird thoughts did come up. She thought of Bon Bon's main, which looked ever so like cotton candy. She wondered if it actually tasted like cotton candy. Weird thought. But, she hoped that Bon would agree to be with her, maybe to even try a piece... That would be really...

"OOF! Ahh... What the..." She looked up and noticed a light brown door, looking to be carved from fine food. Maybe oak. This was the music hall. Lyra was so wrapped up in thought that she didn't notice that she was at her destination. She sighed and pushed the door open slowly, revealing a sleek, marble floor that was so shinny that it looked like a platinum record. She began to walk down the hall and noticed such great names in music suchs;  as Elvis Pegasus, Stallion Jackson, among others. After only playing for 5 years, she, along with her stage mate Octavia, began to greartstringow in popularity. Their manager said that they would get their names on the wall soon. She wondered at such a marvel

LYRA HEARTSTRINGS: HARP

She thought that Bon Bon would like it. Her mind couldn't forget her friend. She had to prove her love. Maybe a song? Yeah! She would ask Octavia to play a song for Bon Bon. Then to dinner. Maybe that up-scale place that Octavia took her to after their first concert. Bon Bon would love it. They would both laugh when the waiter told them that one of the desserts was a bon bon. That would be so...

"Lyra! Finally, you've returned!" A beautiful ,melodic voice called to her, breaking her from thought.

"Huh? Oh... Hello Octavia."

"How's Bon Bon?" Octavia asks, barely actually paying attention to Lyra, setting up her cello and sheet music.

"She's fine, I guess. She was going..."

"That's wonderful! Okay... Chop Chop! We perform in 6 hours and we mustn't be under-prepared!"  Octavia interrupts, pushing Lyra to her harp. Lyra sighs and plays her leading note. She begins to wonder off in thought during their first song but this is met by scorn from Octavia, causing them to repeat it 5 times. This mistake was not repeated. Once they finished going through all their songs, about 3 hours later, Lyra takes a sigh of relief. OCtavia looked happy, so Lyra decided to ask now.

"Hey Octavia?

"Yes Lyra?"

"I was wondering... If um... we could..." OCtavia turned to her music partner.

"I know that stuttering, Lyra. What is it?"

"Nothings wrong! I was kinda hoping to add one more song..."

"Lyra! We're a mere 3 hours away! We can't change this late!"

"I know... But I have sheet music! And it's super easy!" Lyra took out the sheet music for her song.

"Lyra... This looks... Near impossible for a cello and harp!"

"That's why... We need help..." She nudged Octavia some.

"Oh NO! We're not having her play at a concert for refined arts!"

"But Octavia...."

"NO buts! She is not to perform!"

"Octavia... Please!"

"Absolutely not!" Lyra began to tear up from anger.

"Then... Then... I won't perform!" She yells out. He angry yell spreads throughout the halls, echoing down along the marble.

"Lyra, that preposterous! Why is this song so important to you?"

"Because... Its my, hopefully, special somepony's favorite song!" Octavia stopped for a second.

"Did... Did you say... Special somepony? Who is it?"

"I won't tell you until we can play my song!" She crossed her hooves.

"But... Why do we need her?" Octavia complained.

"Do you know anypony else?"

"Well... I... No... I guess... If it's so important... But if it fails, your pay will be docked, not mine!"

"Deal!"

After practicing the song for the rest of the 3 hours, they finally got it right. Lyra looked out the curtains, hoping Bon Bon would show. There was a front row seat with a "RESERVED" sighn. It was obviously hoof written and looked a bit sloppy, but it would stand out. Lyra watched ponies fill in for 10 minutes, but no Bon Bon. She sighed, but then heard a noise behind her. She didn't want to move so that if Bon Bon showed, she would be able to see her easily. But the sound persisted. She tried to figure out what is was.

'Buzz? Cluzz? Nuzz? Wuzz?' the sound got louder.

'Glub? Tub? Nub? Club?' Then, it became clear.

"Wub... Wub... Wub... Wub..." She turned to see a white unicorn behind her, standing right by her ear. She was whispering the single word into her ear.

"Vinyl! What are you doing?!"

"Should ask you the same! Just starin' out the curtain."

"Why are you whispering 'Wub' in my ear?"

"'Cause."

"Because... What?"

"Just 'Cause." Lyra facehoofed and looked back through the curtain. Still no Bon Bon.

"So, did Octavia fill you in?"

"Octy? Yeah." Just then, Octavia trotted up behind Vinyl.

"I told you to never call me that!"

"Sorry... Touchy."

"Anyways... Can you do it?" Lyra asks.

"Pssh... Of Course! I'm freakin' Vinyl! Best sound fixer in Ponyville!"

"But, no hard music. It's a love song, not dubstep."

"Got it."

"Thanks Vinyl!" The hoof bump before Lyra checks again. No sight. She sighs as the curtains rise. The begin with some Beeth-pony...

"After the intermission, Lyra was pretty sure Bon Bon wouldn't show. Her thoughts continued, as they reached their final regular song on the playlist, right before Lyra's love song.

"All I wanted... Was to love her..." She weeped. She felt a consolidating hoof on her back and turned to see...

"Hi Lyra." Lyra jumped to the air elated.

"Bonny Bon! You made it!"

"Of course. I wouldn't miss your concert! But, can i give you a present?" Lyra nodded and was met by a pony slap. She fell to the ground, heart broken.

"Wha... Bu..."

"Next time, don;t kiss me and run off!" She pulled Lyra up and planted a sweet kiss onto Lyra, who felt a mix of loving emotions.

"Now, am I too late?" Bon Bon asks after breaking the kiss.

"No... I... Seat... Made..." Lyra stutters, pointing to the "RESERVED" seat. Bon Bon chckled at her now marefirend and walked to her seat. LYra smiled widely and turned, to see two shocked mares behind her.

"Did... Did you just... Kiss... A mare?" Vinyl asked, confused.

"Oh... Heh... Didn't know you saw..."

"Is that even legal?"

"I guess." The unicorn perked up a bit and trotted over to her brown friend.

"Hey... Octy..."

"Don't even THINK about it, lovermare." Octavia scoffed in disgust.

"Oh come on! Just a small peck? I won't call you Octy..."

"Keep that promise and i'll see..."

"YEAH! Let's DO IT!" Vinyl ran to her equipment as Octavia trotted to LYra.

"Are you ready?" Lyra gulped and nodded. They set up their equipment as the curtains rose. Lyra pulled the mic close and spoke.

"Hello... Ev-Everypony... I'm... Lyra... Heartstrings on harp... And... Um... This is a special song... For a special... somepony..." She gulped, too ka deep breath and strumed the first note. Bon Bon knew this note and smiled.

"She didn't..."

As Lyra played off her last note, a tearful Bon Bon stood and pony clapped. All the others followed soon after. Bon Bon ran up the stage and hugged Lyra hard.

"Oh LYRA!" She cried.

"Did you like it?"

"YES!" She cried harder and they kissed once more. Vinyl came from her equipment and stood next to Octy... Err... Octavia...

"They sure are some happy mares, huh Octavia?"

"Yeah... I supp... Wait, what did you say?"

"They're happy mares?"

"After that?"

"Huh Octavia?" Vinyl responded confused.

"You called me Octavia!"

"Is that not your name?"

"Vinyl?"

"Yeah?"

"I'll take that kiss now." Octavia leaned Vinyl back, planting her with a long kiss. Both set of mare finished their kiss at the same time.

"Woah.. Oct... Octavia..."

"Just call me Octy." She winked. Lyra and Bon Bon finished at the same time.

"Perfect... Just perfect..." Lyra smiles.

"Yeah? Can we still go get dinner?"

"Of course! I know the place that serves the BEST hooves." Lyra jokingly responds.

"LLLYYYRRRAAA...."

"Kidding! Just kidding! Come on! All four of us!" Lyra cheers, turning to Octy and Vinyl. Then, they all walk off-stage...

Dear Journal,

Hey there buddy. I never thought I'd be using you. I got this a s foal and I guess its now or never... Me and Bon Bon is happy now. We're heading to this fancy restaurant. It's like Che... Something something fancy. I'm just writing in the cart. Vinyl and Octy are talking and Bon Bon is resting. I  guess I might as well. When I found this, I was embarrased, but Bon likes the colors. I like that she likes it. Her hoof is warm, like I thoguht. But, her mane doesn't taste like cotton candy, which sucks. But its fun to nibble on. I should get some sleep to, so i'll write when we finish dinner.

-Lyra
