Mis-Adventures with Lyra

Last week on Mis-Adventures with Lyra

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

"Huh? Oh... Hello Octavia."...

I was kinda hoping to add one more song..."

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

"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...

"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!"...

"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?!"...

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...

The cart began to pull to a stop. Lyra had fallen asleep along with the other mares. IT was ultimately the horn that awoke them. Octy was the first up, stumbling out of the cart.

"Huh... I... Ahhh... Thank you." She paid the driver a few bits and awoke her friends, each of them equally tired. As they stumbled out, they saw a bright sign that was illuminated with neon. It read "Che Gue-Vara" in yellow letters, all perfectly in tact. The restaurant was started back in the 60's by two business partners, Che Gue and Fiddel Vara. It became popular so fast that it seemed to be a revolution in terms of food. After Che died, Fiddel took control and has been running ever since. Anyway, they walked in. None of them were wearing suits or dresses but because of their history of refined artists, they got a pass this time. Beethoven was playing and all the ponies were sitting proper. As Fiddel came out to greet Octavia and Lyra, he became aware of the whit unicorn who was known to be a nuisance.

"Ahh... There are my two favourite musicians! And... her..." He was a bit burly with a great, grey bear that extended was past his muzzle. He was obviously very old, around his 80's or 90s. He smokes a cigar and occasionally let smoke out.

"Hi there Fiddel. How are you?" Octy responded.

"Ehh... I'm okay. My brother Raul recently came to help out with management, so i've had a bit more free time."

"I see. It does look of tip top shape!"

"Why thank you Ms. Melody." He smiled, letting some smoke out. All the mares coughed from his smoke, spare Vinyl.She was away from the group, playing with a few menus like they were turntables.

"Wub... Uh... Uh.... Special is soup, so tasty. Maybe get dessert, a pastry."  She began to rap. She tried to keep quiet as to not disturb the ponies eating, but she was loud enough for her group to hear her. That included Fiddel, who became extremely agitated.

"Why'd you bring the white one?"

"Vinyl? Oh... Well, it'sa celebration dinner. I insisted on another place since Vinyl would be coming, but Lyra put her hoof down..."

"Woah woah woah! Don't drag me into this! You said this was a good place for a double date!" Lyra corrected, much to the annoyment of Octy. She blushed but tried to move past it. She grabbed Vinyl and dragged her back to the group as if she was a foal.

"But of course, Vinyl will behave herself for the rest of the night. Right?"

"Huh? Oh... Yeah. Be more elegant than you, Octy." Vinyl took a straightened pose and licked her hoof to slick her mane back. She took off her glasses and showed her beautiful, magenta eyes. She smiled, actually looking proper for once in her life.

"Right then, you know where your table is. It's your usual." And with that, Fiddel was off back to his office. The mares took a seat  up near to where the performers were playing. They now took in Mozart. Next to the stage, there was a box where ponies could put in requests. IF the band knew the song or it came enclosed with sheet music, they would play it. As the mares sat, a waiter came up to their table. His white coat glistened in the light, as did his royal blue mane. He smiled, showing pearly white teeth. He wore a suit that seemed to be finely tailored. He held in his hoof a golden parchment to take their orders and a navy blue quill.

"Hello mares. I am Studded Diamond, here to take your order." He said in a slightly deep voice, but it was calm, keeping along with the fancy theme. He smiled reassuringly.

"Hello there. May I have a Salade Nicoise? Please?" This is the order from none other than Octy Melody. This order catches everypony off guard, spare the waiter, because they didn't know she spoke French.

"Uh... What?" Vinyl bursted out, asking.

"It's a fancy term for a salad with a few toppings." Octy smiled.

"Well, I'd like just some meatloof." Bon Bon ordered, trying to clear the awkwardness.

"Hey, do you have any pony parts? Preferably hoo...."

"LYRA!" Bon Bon soflty hit her in the back of the head.

"Oh... Sorry. Steak? Is that better?" Lyra asks, mainly asking Bon Bon. She nods as the waiter wrote it down. He, along with the rest of table, turned to Vinyl, looking for her order.

"Hey. Let me get a #2 and supersize it." Vinyl said, much to the confusion of the waiter. She memorized her order that she always got from McRonald's. She never bothered to look at the menu, hoping that she could get the same thing here. Unfortunately,it couldn't be the same. Octy blushed of embarrassment from her marefirend.

"Vinyl! There are no numbers here..." She scolded quietly.

"Oh... I think its like a Big Mac-Intosh (You gotta admit there is a connection. IT's a name and food. Coincidence? Nope.)" This confused the waiter more, but Octy explained to just bring her a burger.

"Right..." He dashed off quickly.

"Vinyl! You said you'd be proper!"

"Pff... I am! Celestia... I've been sitting up straight the whole time."

"Vinyl... We need to talk about proper means."

After a few minutes, Studded brought back the drinks.

"Hello again. I'd just like to let you know that I will be on break. My friend will be serving you from now on." He smiled and nodded to the mares before walking out. Vinyl began to grow restless again. Octy noticed and nodded to Bon, essentially telling her to talk to Vinyl.

"Um... Hey Vinyl. You know, I really like your music." Bon complimented. Vinyl turned to look at the earth pony next to her.

"You do? Really?"

"Oh yeah! I just love EDM!"

"Heh... Thanks. But... Then why were you at a classical music concert?"

"Easy! It's because my Lyra was playing it!" The mint colored pony overheard this and blushed. Bon Bon noticed and wrapped a hoof around her. Lyra nuzzled into her marefriend's chest (if ponies have them) and they got lost into each other's eyes. This show of affection enraged Vinyl. Why wouldn't Octy do that? Why couldn't they kiss or nuzzle or hug in public?! Octy tried WAY too hard to be ethical and so proper. She knew that at home, they'd have a wild night (boy, did she learn some spells. ) but she didn't want to wait. If she had to wait much longer, she wouldn't even be in the mood. What made Bon Bon wanna kiss and stuff with Lyra so much? Vinyl played with her silverware, twirling her fork around, pondering her ideas. What was it... THAT'S IT! Lyra sung her a beautiful song in public. All Vinyl had to do was the same for Octy. Then she'd be all over her. But what song? What could cause Octy to fall in love with her again? What could it b...

"Vinyl, stop playing with your fork." The brown earth pony scolded. Would this be her life? Just boring... Scolds... Being called annoying...

"Hey Octy,  are you glad we kissed?"

"Of course I am, Vinyl. Why?"

"'Cause you haven't brought it up or done anything about it since then. They've been nuzzling and hugging and stuff." Vinyl pointed to the other mares, who were engaged in a liplock.

"Well, it's a problem in public..."

"So I'm a problem?"

"Well, no. It's.... I..."

Well?! Am I a problem? Honestly Octy!" She began to get irritated.

"Vinyl, on occasions, you can be. But I wouldn't trade you for anypony!"

"Hmm... Come here Lyra." She grabbed the mint pony and took her outside, much to the confusion of all mares.

"Great... Now I just need a... Stallion..." She sighed, looking around. Her eyes were met by Studded Diamond standing on the curb. He was looking into a puddle, contemplating life. Vinyl pulled him into their huddle.

"Ma'am?! It's my break! Release me!"

"Stop it Stubbed. You don't gotta act so fancy. I just need help with something."

"It's Studded." He corrected.

"Right... So, here's the plan..." She pulled them close and whispered. She hoofed them papers and pulled out sheet music.

"Got it?"

"Yeah... I got it." Lyra said.

"When do I even come in?"

"At this part." Vinyl pointed to his paper.

"All I know is that you're lucky I want to be a singer. Ever since I was a foal..."

"Yeah. Cool. Thanks. But that's a story for another time. Let's go!" She teleported them behind the stage. After they finished their song, Vinyl came up and whispered to the conductor. She hoofed him the sheet music to pass to the band. She'd give him the signal. She ran up to the mic, clearing her throat.

"He-Hey Everypony! I'm Vinyl Scratch and I got a special song for a special somepony! I'm sure they's use this song to describe me, so i'll put it in words for them!" She got ready to give the signal but she forgot that their table was right next to the stage. She saw Octy and Bon Bon there. Octy was blushing hard. All of the other ponies in the restaurant were whispering, wondering what is gonna come from this. Fiddel had heard Vinyl's announcement and ran from his office.

"What?! NO! DON'T!" He yelled. Too late. She nodded to the band and the trumpet went off.

As the song pulled to an end, all the ponies went silent. Fiddel had a look of shock on his face. Nopony was cheering this time.There was total silence. Nopony was expecting hip hop music. And that's how Fiddel wanted it.

"YOU'VE RUINDED MY RESTAURANT! ALL OF YOU, OOOOOUUUUTTT!" He screamed, braking the silence. He referred to all four mares, Octy, Bon Bon, Lyra and Vinyl.

"Fiddel, no! IT was ju-"

"Ms. Melody! I told you to keep HER under wraps! You could not, so all four of you are barred for life!" With that, the two unicorns jumped off stage. They were met by a chorus of jeers and boos from the fancy ponies. Vinyl took it the hardest, hanging her head low. As they all exited, they were met by a slam of the door.

Octy was leading the group to an undisclosed location as Vinyl broke the silence.

"Hey Octy, I'm sorry..."

"Sorry?! He was a good friend and a big customer! Why did you even do that?!"

"Because of Lyra!" This caught the whole group off guard.

"Wha... What? Me?"

"Lyra sung that song for Bon Bon and since then, they've hugged,nuzzled each other and kissed like 20 times! We kissed ONCE! Since then, we ain't done nothing! You haven't even made any reference to the fact that we're marefriends!" Vinyl started to tear up but she put on her shades, hiding her tears.

"I'm sorry... I just hold myself to high public standards..."

"OH! That TOTALLY makes up for it! Am I not fancy enoguh for you?! HUH?!"

"Vinyl, I'm sorry! I had no idea I made you feel this way! I... Listen, I'll express our love in public more often."

"And how are we gonna do that?!"

"Well, you know about my wild side..." She blushed, grabbing Vinyl's flanks, causing her to jump up some. Vinyl blushed, looking back to see if Octy's hoof was actually there. It was.

"Heh... I... Heh... Wow..." Octy let it go before grabbing Vinyl's hoof and nuzzling her. Vinyl was pleased.

"You know,we never technically ate..." Lyra mentioned.

"Where should we eat then?" Octy asked as Vinyl was drooling in love over her.

"Here." She pointed to a sign above them that read "McRonald's". They all smiled and entered quickly. But, there was a huge amount of ponies there. IT seemed to be like a paparazzi. Lights and cameras were flashing and cameras were rolling.

"What' going on?!" Bon Bon aksed one of the cameraponies. He quickly turned to the group.

"Do you know who's here?! It's SPITFIRE! The Wonderbolts coach!" All the mares got excited as the camera pony turned around. They tried to jump to get a view but they were interrupted when she spoke up.

"Hey! Everypony! I'm trying to enjoy my meal with my son and his friends! Let me make it up to you later!" She exclaimed in anger. They understood and nodded, all leaving. No. Jk. It's the paparazzi. They're not gonna leave. She stood up and angrily shouted.

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" Her mane flared up in fire and this caused them all to run out. She finally got her privacy. The mares understood and went to get their own dinner.

"I'll take a #2, and don't forget to supersize!" This order was from none other than the... Brown earth pony. Octy smiled and ordered for Vinyl, the same thing. Bon Bon and Lyra ordered their food and they all proceeded to sit down and eat.

"You know... Despite all the troubles of dinner, tonight has been truly magical." Octy smiled, taking a bite from her burger.

"Yeah!" Vinyl agreed.

"Definitely!" Bon Bon concurred.

"Hey girls, you know what? Let's get some dessert!" Lyra said.

"What do they have here?" Bon asked.

"Well, I told you I knew a place with the best hooves..."

"Ugh... Lllyyyrrraaa..."

"Kidding! Gosh... They got some parfaits." All mares smiled and agreed. Lyra went up to get the desserts.

"This is the Best.... Night... Ever." Lyra told herself as she grabbed the dessert and headed back to their seats...
