Music at Twilightby TheRandomCreationsChaptersChapter 1: She's The Only One For MeChapter 2: The AnniversaryChapter 3: AftermathChapter 4: The DinnerChapter 5: The EndChapter 1: She's The Only One For MeTwilight was sitting on the bed in her room and thinking about the mare she loved, Lyra Heartstrings. She was simply perfect in every way imaginable: she was clever, she did go to Celestia’s School for gifted unicorns after all, she was also fun to be around and always comforted her when she needed a friend, not to forget that she is a very talented musician, the way that she plays her lyre makes her feel absolutely amazing and above all she is the most beautiful mare she has ever met or seen. Twilight would sometimes sit by her window, in a café or in the park and watch her as long as she could, of course she would be careful not to be spotted, oh Celestia that would be very embarrassing and Lyra would never love a pony that humiliated her and themselves so much. This crush of hers has been going on for a very long time now, since her first year at Celestia’s school, Twilight could still remember the week in which she fell for her. On Monday she was walking to the first class of the day when she met her for the first time, she was looking for the same classroom which Twilight was going to and asked her if she knew where to find it. The purple filly was of course delighted to help the minty green pony she just met so she told her to follow, as she was going to that same classroom herself. Over the next couple of days they started to hang out and became fast friends, there was something that made the two "compatible" as you could say and by the end of the week twilight couldn’t go long without seeing her friend, her first friend in fact. She was so happy to have someone her age to talk to, oh Celestia she could talk for hours about her. Sometime later she realised that the fluttery feeling in her chest was love and she was smitten with her ever since. Unfortunately for Twilight she couldn’t gather the courage to confess the emotions she felt towards her and they just remained friends throughout their years at school. In the years to come Lyra met an earth pony named Bon Bon and started to spend more and more time with her and less and less with Twilight and eventually Bon Bon did what Twilight was too weak to do, she told Lyra she loved her and they became a couple. Twilight was devastated to lose her crush to somepony else, she cried for hours that day and every day in her room, where no one could see her for the rest of the week, Of course she still went to her classes so she would not arouse suspicion. In the months Twilight became extremely jealous of Bon Bon’s relationship with Lyra, but the thing stopping her from doing something she would later regret was the fact that she loved Lyra with all of her heart and as long the beautiful lyre-playing pony was happy she would be happy to. Loving someone that much in those circumstances also had strong drawbacks to it as twilight was experiencing the biggest pain one could experience, seeing somepony you loved love somepony else, still she always made sure Lyra was safe and happy not only because of her love but because she secretly hoped Lyra would notice her, of course not enough to break up with Bon Bon. One thing also remained alongside her love, it was the jealousy towards Bon Bon, she did not want to hate her but she could not help herself, that pony took away the most important thing in her life if something did not change it would remain so. After moving to Ponyville she talked to her a couple of times and from that and the times she, well, spied on the happy couple she learned that the candy maker was generally a very nice and interesting person, it became clear why Lyra fell for her in the first place, if the situation was different Twilight could see herself falling in Bon Bon as well, but it wasn’t so and that was the end of it. After that though little flashback was over Twilight decided to get some breakfast, Spike made some pancakes for her before he went to Rarity’s boutique to help out. The poor baby dragon was in love with the dressmaker and Twilight sure knew how being in love felt. After finally getting up she walked out of her room and walked down the stairs and promptly levitated a plate for herself and a plate stacked with pancakes, she placed the lot on the table, sat down and started to eat. While she was eating the delicious meal Spike prepared for her she went over her today’s to do list, she had to finish her studies on the reproduction of frogs in Froggy Bottom Bog, and after all she could make a scientific breakthrough! She also had to write a report to Princess Celestia and meet the girls at Sugarcube Corner for lunch and that was it, her afternoon was completely unscheduled. She thought what to do for the rest of the day, reading a book was always an option but she could also take a stroll through the park or even better she could bring a book with her, it was a sunny day after all. If she was really lucky she would see Lyra there as well and maybe have a little chat, which would make this day perfect like any day she met Lyra, she knew it was a little weird but she couldn’t help herself. After she was finished eating the pancakes she grabbed her notebook and started to finish her research. *** Lyra was having a great day so far, she slept perfectly after last night’s activities and Bon Bon made the perfect breakfast which gave her the energy so desperately needed. She was indeed lucky to have a marefriend like Bon Bon, she truly made her happy and comforted her when she was sad, sure they had a fight here and there but they never managed to stay angry at each other for long and day they made up usually ended like last night did. She smiled as she was thinking at everything they did last night. Lyra was indeed a happy mare, a happy mare that currently had to do something before she had to go practice. She thought what that something was, at first she thought she would go do something with Bon Bon but remembered that she was working and after some time she came to the conclusion that she would read a book, specifically the newest Daring Doo book. So the grabbed the book, sat on the couch and started to read about the adventures of the Pegasus explorer not knowing that a certain purple unicorn that dreamt about her every night was reading as well. Chapter 2: The AnniversaryLyra was sitting comfortably on her couch and reading the last few sentences of the chapter in the Daring Doo book she was currently on. This chapter was one of the more exciting ones because it finally introduced some action which was good because the introduction was kind of boring. Not that the book was boring, she actually found it a bit interesting to read some history facts. Right after she finished reading that particular chapter she heard somepony unlocking the door. The pony had the key to the house and that meant that pony was Bon Bon. She smiled gleefully at that because it meant that her marefriend remembered what day it was, their anniversary. Today was exactly five years since they got together, five years of sharing each other’s lives, the sad moments and the happy moments as well as the occasional intimate moments. She blushed a bit at all the memories but that passed quickly as she heard her walking into their living room. Lyra turned around and saw her cream-coloured marefirend trotting towards her with a smirk on her face. The moment Bon Bon was close enough to Lyra she gently grabbed her head with her hooves and kissed her passionately on the lips. It was a long and a pretty amazing kiss and Lyra released a quiet moan before the candy maker finally released her marefriend. “Happy anniversary dear,” said Bon Bon still smirking while sitting down on the couch next to the green mare. “Happy anniversary to you too beautiful,” replied Lyra smiling at her marefriend. I really am a lucky mare to have her in my life, she thought. They agreed a week ago that they would go for a nice walk through the town park and have a romantic dinner after that. She was really looking forward to it as they haven’t been to a restaurant together in ages. All in all it was going to be a great day she was sure of that. “So how is the most important mare in my life doing today?” Bon Bon asked giving Lyra another brief quick kiss on her lips. She was really looking forward to their anniversary, it was a big number of years they spent together after all. Five whole years she spent in joy and sadness with the love of her life. Throughout the morning she was remembering all the moments they spent together. She was especially remembering the days when the two of them met and became a couple. She considered herself a really lucky mare to be with her. Since the moment she laid eyes on her she knew that the mare she was looking at was the one with which she wanted to spend her days with. Confessing her feelings was a really difficult and scary process but it was all worth it and she wasn’t regretting doing it. The days they spent getting to know each other were the days she treasured the most. Her cute laugh and her honey voice made her heart flutter. At the time they started to spend more and more time together talking, laughing and exchanging interests. A month or so after she told her that she loved her and Lyra’s response was a long passionate kiss, not to unlike the one they shared a moment ago. After Lyra graduated she moved into her Ponyville house and the rest is history. Lyra responded in a casual tone: “Oh I’m doing great. I slept great, ate great, read a part of a great book and I’m about to have a great evening”, she stopped for a second and put on a smile, “That is if you haven’t forgotten what we have planned out for today.” Bon Bon pretended to look shocked: “Oh Lyra dear you really wound me by not trusting me,” they just looked at each other before breaking into laughter together. They did this sort of thing sometimes when one of them needed cheering up or when the mood somewhere needed to be lighten up. “Of course I remember what we have planned out, I even closed up the shop a little early than usual just for you.” “Awww thank you I really like that you closed earlier just for me,” Lyra said to her marefriend and hugged her immediately, the hug was followed up with a peck on the cheek.” “Yes, well we should get ready and go, we do want to make good use of the time we have don’t we?” Bon Bon smiled. She wasn’t joking this time, she really wanted to spend as much of this day with Lyra as it was possible. The dinner was just a finishing touch to a perfect day, the real fun was spending time together in the park and planning for the future, discussing random topics or simply cuddling. With that they got up and trotted through the living room and up the stairs to take the bath together and do other similar things a pony does before they go out on a day like this one. *** Twilight has just finished her lunch at Sugarcube Corner and was on her way back to the tree she called home. This lunch and a talk with her wonderful friends was what she needed to lighten up a bit. The six mares have discussed a number of things, one of which was Rarity’s plans to open up a second shop and in Canterlot no less! It surely was an ambitious idea but she was sure that with some help from her friends Rarity could pull it off. Canterlot, the city in which she left her heart. Today marked five years since that sad event. Usually she would spend the evening with a bottle of hard cider and a soft pillow but today was going to be different, at least that was what she hoped. The plan was to distract herself with research of some kind or a good book. Twilight saw Lyra walking with Bon Bon and she stopped walking. The couple was smiling happily, only noticing each other. That was okay in Twilight’s book, they were a couple and it was their anniversary after all. For the first time today Twilight genuinely smiled, Lyra was happy. Her being happy was what she really needed, more than her friends or all the books in the world. The couple just trotted by and she couldn’t help but to steal a glance at Lyra. She was truly beautiful, her mane swishing back and forward, not to forget her tail moving hypnotically. At that moment her mind and soul were screaming at her to fight for her love, urging her to kiss her and show how much she meant to her, how much she cared for her. She wanted to do it she really did but that meant hurting Lyra’s relationship with Bon Bon and potentially Lyra herself and she couldn’t do that if her life depended on it. Instead of listening to her hearts’ wishes she took the pain that was the second option and trotted back home. *** It was now evening, the Sun was setting and shinning its last rays upon the town and the Moon was slowly rising as its counterpart was setting. A pair of mares was leaving a restaurant after a romantic dinner. The cream-coloured mare spoke fist with a smile on her face: “Well that was an amazing dinner wasn’t it dear?” Her marefriend smiled back at her. It really was an amazing dinner and she enjoyed every bit of it. “Yes it was I really enjoyed every bite of it,” she said. The perfect dinner for the ending of an important day in her life. Lyra was silently trotting along Bon Bon when she felt the need to say how much she loved her beautiful marefriend. “You know you are the best thing that has happened to me,” she said. Bon Bon smiled and kissed her. The kiss was short yet it had a meaning of deep love behind it. “I know Lyra I feel the exact same way, meeting you has changed my life for ever and I am not regretting it,” said Bon Bon. They smiled at each other and kissed again. Everything they felt for each other was put into that kiss. What they both failed to notice was a lavender unicorn who just came from around the corner. That unicorn was Twilight Sparkle and she stopped dead in her tracks. She felt her heart scream at her again. It was telling her to do something, anything to be the one kissing the golden-eyed beauty. Soon the couple stopped kissing and moved on only to bump into a unicorn they did not know was there. That brief contact was too much for Twilight to endure and her emotional dam broke. She quickly grabbed Lyra’s head and kissed her with all of her might. All the years of care, love and stealing glances at her were put into that kiss and what a kiss it was. It was a kiss that quite clearly stated ‘I love you and want to spend the rest of my existence with you’. Bon Bon was shocked and her brain was trying to comprehend that Twilight Sparkle was kissing HER marefriend with all her might. The effort wasn’t going to well so she just stood there. Lyra was even more shocked than Bon Bon was to the point she was paralyzed. All the energy she had was being used up to process the fact that her fillyhood friend was kissing her. She wasn’t expecting anything remotely close to this on her anniversary. Now that she thought about it Twilight tended to act funny near her but she somehow failed to realise that was a consequence of a crush. That was certainly a revelation to her and got her thinking how this would affect her relationship with Bon Bon, she was worried about it a bit now. Soon Twilight realised what she was doing and released Lyra and backed up a bit. She was visibly worried and scared but before anypony could ask a question she teleported away leaving tow stunned mares behind. Chapter 3: AftermathIn the library Twilight was laying on her bed and thinking about what she had just done. It was a moment of weakness. She had just brushed ever so slightly against the most important pony in her life. The sweet scent of her loved one invaded her nostrils and despite all the effort she was putting in self control she went in and kissed her. That kiss was the most beautiful thing she has ever experienced. When her soft lips touched her own she almost fainted. She will never forget that wonderful moment. Why couldn’t she just put in some more effort and avoid all the explanations she will certainly have to give now? This will most likely ruin what ever friendship she had with Lyra and Bon Bon as well as every chance of love she ever had. With all the emotions and confusion the lavender unicorn was experiencing she broke down and started to cry silently in the darkness of her room. *** While Twilight was crying in her room Lyra was recovering from the unexpected kiss she has just experienced. She couldn’t believe that she was just kissed by non other than one of her oldest friends. A million questions were currently on her mind. Why did Twilight kiss her? Did she like her? How is this going to affect her relationship with Bon Bon? The most important one on her mind was what was Bonnie thinking right now. The minty green mare turned her head around to see a shocked look on her marefriend’s face. “Bon Bon are you okay?” she asked worrying for her relationship. Bon Bon’s thoughts on the other hoof were full of doubt. One side of her was currently alarmed that Lyra was cheating one her but her other side was telling her that she would never do that to her and that she loved her with all of her heart. Nevertheless, she was still doubting her marefriend’s loyalty to her. Then something woke her from her thoughts. It was a voice, her marefriend’s voice. She was asking her if she was okay, she sounded worried about her. Maybe she isn’t cheating on her like that voice inside her head was telling her? She decided that taking everything calmly was the best course of action. “Y-Yes I am fine… mostly,” she finally answered, “Lyra, what just happened, why did Twilight kiss you?” Lyra was expecting that question but she didn’t know what to say to her. “I do not know Bon Bon I really don’t,” she said as a tear left her eye, “I swear I am not cheating on you.” “Then how do you explain this huh Lyra!?” snapped Bon Bon. She didn’t know what came over her but she was angry. Lyra immediately flinched and started to cry. “Please... believe me Bonnie, Please,” she weeped as she threw herself into Bon Bon and wrapped her arms around her neck. Bon Bon immediately regretted that she yelled at Lyra earlier and patted her gently on the back. “I believe you Lyra, I know that you would never do something like that to me,” she said as she embraced her in a warm hug, “but the first thing me and you are doing tomorrow morning is going to Twilight and demanding some answers.” “Y-yes, of course, I love you Bon Bon.” she said as Bon Bon kissed her. The kiss lasted a couple of seconds before their lips separated. “I love you too Lyra, forever,” she said as the couple started to walk back to their humble home. *** The morning after the mess she created, Twilight woke up hoping that Lyra and Bon Bon would simply forget what has happened last night. She knew that was a lie but that thought made her feel safe. It gave her a way out of this mess, maybe they wouldn’t come at all and everything would go back to the way they were before last night happened. Just when she was starting to relax she heard someone nocking on the door. “Twilight! Open up!” The voice called. She recognised that voice. It was the sweet and beautiful voice of the mare she loved. That scared her. She didn’t know what to do. Should she open the door and confront Lyra about her feelings, the moment she was fearing for so long or should she simply pretend to not be home? As much as the later was appealing she knew that nopony can run away from their problems forever, besides who would believe that she wasn’t home anyway? Spike was helping Pinkie with a cake today so she had to do everything on her own today. Slowly, she got up and walked downstairs to open the door as the knocking got louder. “we know you are in there Twilight open the door this instant!” Yelled a different voice, unmistakeably Bon Bon’s. Twilight froze, both of them were here? That made things even worse. Bon Bon is going to be even angrier than Lyra. She just hoped that she had the strength necessary to do this. With a lot of fear and doubt in herself, Twilight unlocked the door and opened them to see two angry mares looking back at her. “Twilight we need to talk about last night,” said lyra angrily. Twilight sighed and looked down. “I know. Please come in,” she said, turned around and walked to a couch she bought for library visitors recently. The mares followed her. “Please, sit down,” she offered pointing her hoof to the comfy couch next to her. Bon Bon just shook her head, “No thanks we will stand.” “Alright, I hope you don’t mind if I sit while we talk” After Twilight sat down Lyra asked, “Twilight you know why we are here.” Twilight just nodded and Lyra continued, “We want answers. We want to know what happened Last night.” Twilight sighed again. “There is no simple answer, I don-” “Not a simple answer!? How can this be complicated? Just explain why you kissed my marefriend!” Snapped Bon Bon. Lyra put her hoof over Bon Bon’s mouth in an attempt to silence her and said, “Calm down a little dear ok? Do it for me.” Bon Bon seemed to calm down at that and remained silent. Twilight on the other hoof tried to finish what she was saying before, “You are right Bon Bon things are relatively simple.” Twilight stopped talking for a second. This was it, the moment she has been waiting for many long years. She was about to confess her love to Lyra. “Lyra, I love you,” there, it was said and now she knew. Lyra’s eyes went wide at that. She knew Twilight at least had a crush on her. There was also the possibility that she considered her pretty and that she did what she did while she was slightly drunk. Alcohol was known to cause ponies to do things they wouldn’t normally do after all. She didn’t know what to think. The kiss she was given last night was more than an act of a silly crush, it was an act of love and Lyra knew it. It made sense with all the care and passion put into one short kiss, what else could it be? “Twilight,” Started Lyra, “for how long?” “Since we met. It took me some time to figure my emotions out but in the end I knew I loved you from the moment I first laid my eyes on you.” Bon Bon just stared angrily at Twilight while Lyra apologized, “Twilight, I’m so sorry for not noticing it earlier. All those times you helped me study for a test, kept me company and comforted me when I was sad and I never noticed anything.” A small smile appeared on Twilight’s face. “It’s okay Lyra you were in love. Your thoughts were focused on somepony else.” Lyra smiled back at her in gratitude but suddenly Bon Bon snapped again, “Ok we get it, you love her now get over it and leave us alone!” After that she stormed out of the library. Lyra looked back at her in disappointment. “I’m sorry about her, she is just afraid for our relationship. I will talk to her about it and then we will talk again and finish this. There is so much me and you need to talk about.” “Okay, I will be waiting for you,” Twilight said and nodded in relief. Lyra then ran after her marefriend and Twilight closed the door behind her. It was over and done. She told Lyra how she truly helped and it worked out more or less okay. Now Lyra and Bon Bon needed to think about what they just learned and probably have a talk about it. She just hoped that they would stay together, for Lyra’s sake. Chapter 4: The DinnerAt her residence Lyra Heartstrings was deep in thought. She was trying to think of a way to make peace between Twilight and Bon Bon before one of them did something they would regret. It was only a mater of time now before they get in a fight or something. If she could get them to know each other maybe they would cease with the hostility that was between. Suddenly, she thought of an idea. She would ask Twilight to come over for diner. She would be more than glad to come because she would get to spend time with her. Bon Bon would probably disagree with the idea of Twilight visiting but she could be persuaded with a cute, begging look. If that failed she would ask her to do it for her. This idea could easily solve all the problems she was currently having, but it could just as easily crash and burn. Lyra was a natural optimist and she was sure that it would work. Now she had to convince Bon Bon, who was currently taking a bath. She was still really upset about the whole Twilight thing. Although one would think she was just upset, Lyra could see something else in here eyes. She saw confusion and doubt. The minty green mare wasn’t sure what she was confused about but she was pretty sure that it had something to do with Twilight. If she couldn’t make up her mind if Twilight was a threat to her or not then maybe she could convince her to let Twilight visit a bit easier. Just as she was wondering if Bon Bon was ever going to leave the bathroom or if she was going to stay in there for the rest of the day she heard the bathroom door open. The beige coloured mare immediately went to their room and Lyra followed her. The door was closed so she knocked to ask for permission to enter. “Bon Bon may I come in?” She asked. “Come in dear,” she said, while looking through the window. She appeared to be thinking very hard about something. “I need to ask you something,” said Lyra nervously. Bon Bon stopped thinking about whatever she was thinking and turned around to face Lyra. “Well go ahead dear,” she said, now bearing a smile on her face. “I was thinking that we could ask Twilight over for dinner, since you two don’t get along very well. If you talked a bit and got to know each other better, maybe you would stop fighting,” she said with a smile, “maybe even become friends.” “You are still worried about my overreaction aren’t you?” “Y-yes, yes I am. I don’t want you two fighting.” “I understand that but look at it from my point of view. There is a pony out there that is in love with my marefriend. How am I supposed to react to that if not at least defensive?” “I get it I really do but could you at least give it a chance? Please, for me?” Bon Bon sighed. She couldn’t hurt her Lyra like this. She would do it, as she said...for her. “Ok Lyra invite her over but remember that I can’t promise that everything will go smoothly. We are rivals after all.” A huge grin appeared on Lyra’s face and she tackled Bon Bon into a hug. “Thank you so much Bonnie! You’ll see that everything will go great. There will be no problems whatsoever." “I sure hope so Lyra, I sure hope so,” whispered Bon Bon. A few minutes later Lyra was on her way to invite Twilight to dinner and her smile was as wide as it could get. Twilight and Bon Bon would be friends and then the three of them could solve this problem together. They could help Twilight move on and find her somepony else to love and if that didn’t work maybe they could do something a bit more drastic for their current relationship. If Twilight and Bonnie would even agree to such a thing. She was thinking about the three of them forming a herd. Herds weren’t rare to find in Equestria, they were quite common in smaller towns and villages. There were herds even in big cities, every city had them except Canterlot. The high and noble unicorns didn’t like ideas such as herding, fillyfoolery or coltcuddling. As a result, ponies tented to move out of the great city in order to have normal lives and not be glared at every five seconds they were outside their homes. Thankfully she moved out as soon as she finished her education. Her parents did not like that too much but they were okay with it when they realised that she couldn’t be talked out of it. That didn’t mean they approved of her relationship though. They constantly tried to and still do try to convince her to brake up with Bonnie and go find herself a nice stallion. That was never going to happen and they should finally accept it. Lyra was so lost in thought that she ran into the library door. She could see Princess Luna’s stars as if it was night. She heard someone trotting towards the door. The door opened and Twilight stood there confused. When she saw that Lyra was in pain she immediately got worried. “Are you okay Lyra?” She asked. “Yeah, I just wasnt looking where I was going.” “S-so what brings you here?” Said Twilight. Her voice was full of hope. She hoped that she would finally be able to talk to Lyra alone, without Bon Bon interrupting. Ugh! That mare! Why couldn’t she leave them alone for a moment? She was worried about her relationship with Lyra and Twilight understood that. That still wasn’t an excuse though. She clearly said that she would never try to sabotage their relationship. “Well I wanted to ask you over for dinner with me and Bon Bon tonight.” Twilight was excited and smiled happily but then she realised something and her smile dropped. “Wait, did Bon Bon agree to this. It really doesn’t sound like something she would agree to,” she said. Secretly, she hoped that Lyra didn’t ask Bon Bon. It would mean that Lyra actually liked her more than she let other ponies know. “Yes, she did actually. Reluctantly, but she did.” That surprised Twight, but she was glad to come either way. “So why do you two want me over for dinner for?” She asked. “Well it was my idea. I thought that since you and Bon Bon don’t get along for obvious reasons, you could meet and get to know each other a bit better. That way you would understand each other better and maybe stop arguing about me,” she explained “Well ok then. I see no reason not to give it a shot,” she said with a charming smile. “Great,” said Lyra, “see you at eight!” said Lyra and trotted away happy that her plan was working so far. After she arrived home she immediately started to plan out the evening. When Twilight arrives they are going to dine immediately and talk. After that they will have a drink and finish of the evening. It is going to be so much fun! Later that day Twilight was just about to leave for her dinner with Lyra and Bon Bon when Spike interrupted her. “Twilight where are you going this late?” He asked her. “Oh I’m sorry Spike, I forgot to tell you. Lyra and Bon Bon have invited me over for dinner,” she answered. Spike raised his eyebrow curiously at that. “Really? Well I hope you have fun then,” he said. “Thanks Spike,” she said, “and don’t forget to go to bed before I come back!” “I will, I will,” “Bye Spike.” “Bye Twilight. Have fun.” The lavender mare left her library deep in thought. She was both happy and scared. This night could very well be a decisive night for her future with Lyra. If this vent as she hoped it did Lyra will enjoy herself so much that she actually might even give her a kiss that she so desired. She saw their house and neared it’s door. She knocked on it and prepared herself for what was about to come. She heard somepony walking to the door. The wooden door opened to reveal Bon Bon with a worried look on her face.”Oh, it’s you,” she said and let Twilight walk in. “Good evening Bon Bon, said Twilight with a sweet smile. “Yes, good evening to you to Twilight,” “Tell me Bon Bon, where is Lyra?” she asked. “She is upstairs, in the bathroom. She’ll be down in a minute,” Answered Bon Bon. As Bon Bon said Lyra trotted down the stairs happily a few moments later and saw that Bon Bon has already brought the dinner from the kitchen and having a chat with Twilight. They Eere both smiling! The table was nicely prepared. There where three candels placed in front of each ceramic plate and an expensive-looking white tablecloth covered the circular wooden table. She took her seat in between her marefirend and her guest and joined in on the dinner. She decided to start a conversation between the three of them, between Bon Bon and Twilight to be precise so she choose a topic that was both appropriate and interesting to Bon Bon. “So Twilight, what do you cook for yourself back home. Is it something like this or do you prefer making sweet deserts?” she asked. “Well Lyra, I actually tried both in the past but It always ended in disaster. I would like to learn to cook and I try making a meal at least once a week but I have had no success so far,” she said with a slight frown. “Oh it isn’t everything in talent Twilight. You need to watch the quality of the vegetables and fruit you buy as well as other products. Many other things need to be taken care of as well but do you know what the most important part of cooking is Twilight? It’s Love. You need to put your heart into it and it will always be better,” said Bon Bon. She actually meant every word she said. After her previous chat with Twilight she learned that her she learned that she wasn’t as bad as she thought she was. They even shared some interests. She had much more in common with Lyra though that’s for sure. No wonder she was in love with her. “You know I will try that Bon Bon thanks!” She said with a huge grin. “No problem Twilight. I could even teach you some things if you’d like.” “That would be amazing Bon Bon. I can’t wait!” Lyra grinned as well and got up from her chair. “Alright, this was delicious Bon Bon. Let’s have a drink,” she said. Bon Bon nodded and got up, Twilight followed her hosts. Lyra poured some them all some wine and they all smiled to each other and drank it all at once. Bon Bon was thinking about something that was bothering her the whole day. The problem only grew tonight and her life could take a quick turn to catastrophe if she did what she currently wanted to do. Against all the warnings her brain was giving her she acted against them and went through with her decision. She pinned Twilight to their couch and kissed her passionately. Unexpectedly, Twilight kissed her back and Lyra was watching them with interest. Chapter 5: The EndAs the first rays of Celestia’s Sun shone through the window Lyra Heartstrings started to wake up. She was still tired and that big ball of light in the sky that was shining through her window wasn’t really helping. It probably was a good idea to get up and eat something, especially after last night’s activities. The three of them sure did have a wild and fun time. How it even escalated to that point she had no idea. Who knew that rolling in bed with two other ponies would take out so much energy out of her. To somepony else it could look like they where doing something slightly more intimate. She turned her head around to look at Twilight and Bon Bon. Last night has brought them all much closer together. Although she still hasn’t asked Bon Bon how she felt about Twilight, she could tell by the possessive way the librarian was being hugged that she liked her. A lot. Most likely much talking about the future would be involved at the breakfast but for now she just wanted to cuddle with her marefriends. It was only a matter of time before Twilight came to live with them in their house, she was sure of it. Lyra just snuggled up to Bon Bon to sleep for a couple of minutes before she had to get up and make breakfast. A couple of minutes later Twilight woke up and noticed that she was being hugged affectionately by Bon Bon. She promptly freed herself of the candy maker’s grasp and shook her awake. Bon Bon just groaned tiredly, as if she was trying to protest and tried to swat the hoof that woke her up. Luckily for Twilight she failed in her efforts to stay asleep and tiredly sat on the bed. “What?” asked the cream mare tiredly. She was barely aware of her surroundings and it took her a moment to realise who she was talking to. “Twilight? What are you doing here?!” she asked. She was surprised to see the librarian in her bed until a couple of seconds later when she remembered what happened the previous day. The fight in the morning, the dinner and all the cuddling the three of them ended their night with. It all came rushing back into her head. “Oh,” she said with a blush appearing on her face. “I see you remembered all the fun things we did last night,” said Twilight with a suggestive grin. “Yeah, I do. It sure was fun,” answered Bon Bon, still blushing furiously. “Well, I am glad that you had as much fun as I did Bon Bon,” “Thanks Twilight.” “Now, I think we should wake up our sleeping beauty here,” said Twilight while pointing to Lyra’s sleeping form. “Yes a beauty she really is,” said Bon Bon quietly. Twilight got of the bed and moved to Lyra’s other side and gently shook her in an atempt to wake her up. “Ughhhh,” groaned Lyra, “What time is it?” For some reason Twilight was in a comedic mood and attempted to be funny. “It is around seven thirty in the morning dear,” she said Lyra opened her eyes and saw Twilight standing besides her on one side and Bon Bon on the other. “Um, good morning to you too,” she said and got up. “What do you girls want for breakfast?” she asked. Bon Bon and Twilight just looked eachother and a moment later Bon Bon spoke up. “We don’t really care Lyra.” “As long as you make it,” added Twilight. Lyra blushed at that comment. She was really surprised that Twilight and Bon Bon’s relationship changed so much so quickly. She guessed that love can indeed do wonders and it made her happy. She was looking forward to their lives together.
Chapter 1: She's The Only One For MeTwilight was sitting on the bed in her room and thinking about the mare she loved, Lyra Heartstrings. She was simply perfect in every way imaginable: she was clever, she did go to Celestia’s School for gifted unicorns after all, she was also fun to be around and always comforted her when she needed a friend, not to forget that she is a very talented musician, the way that she plays her lyre makes her feel absolutely amazing and above all she is the most beautiful mare she has ever met or seen. Twilight would sometimes sit by her window, in a café or in the park and watch her as long as she could, of course she would be careful not to be spotted, oh Celestia that would be very embarrassing and Lyra would never love a pony that humiliated her and themselves so much. This crush of hers has been going on for a very long time now, since her first year at Celestia’s school, Twilight could still remember the week in which she fell for her. On Monday she was walking to the first class of the day when she met her for the first time, she was looking for the same classroom which Twilight was going to and asked her if she knew where to find it. The purple filly was of course delighted to help the minty green pony she just met so she told her to follow, as she was going to that same classroom herself. Over the next couple of days they started to hang out and became fast friends, there was something that made the two "compatible" as you could say and by the end of the week twilight couldn’t go long without seeing her friend, her first friend in fact. She was so happy to have someone her age to talk to, oh Celestia she could talk for hours about her. Sometime later she realised that the fluttery feeling in her chest was love and she was smitten with her ever since. Unfortunately for Twilight she couldn’t gather the courage to confess the emotions she felt towards her and they just remained friends throughout their years at school. In the years to come Lyra met an earth pony named Bon Bon and started to spend more and more time with her and less and less with Twilight and eventually Bon Bon did what Twilight was too weak to do, she told Lyra she loved her and they became a couple. Twilight was devastated to lose her crush to somepony else, she cried for hours that day and every day in her room, where no one could see her for the rest of the week, Of course she still went to her classes so she would not arouse suspicion. In the months Twilight became extremely jealous of Bon Bon’s relationship with Lyra, but the thing stopping her from doing something she would later regret was the fact that she loved Lyra with all of her heart and as long the beautiful lyre-playing pony was happy she would be happy to. Loving someone that much in those circumstances also had strong drawbacks to it as twilight was experiencing the biggest pain one could experience, seeing somepony you loved love somepony else, still she always made sure Lyra was safe and happy not only because of her love but because she secretly hoped Lyra would notice her, of course not enough to break up with Bon Bon. One thing also remained alongside her love, it was the jealousy towards Bon Bon, she did not want to hate her but she could not help herself, that pony took away the most important thing in her life if something did not change it would remain so. After moving to Ponyville she talked to her a couple of times and from that and the times she, well, spied on the happy couple she learned that the candy maker was generally a very nice and interesting person, it became clear why Lyra fell for her in the first place, if the situation was different Twilight could see herself falling in Bon Bon as well, but it wasn’t so and that was the end of it. After that though little flashback was over Twilight decided to get some breakfast, Spike made some pancakes for her before he went to Rarity’s boutique to help out. The poor baby dragon was in love with the dressmaker and Twilight sure knew how being in love felt. After finally getting up she walked out of her room and walked down the stairs and promptly levitated a plate for herself and a plate stacked with pancakes, she placed the lot on the table, sat down and started to eat. While she was eating the delicious meal Spike prepared for her she went over her today’s to do list, she had to finish her studies on the reproduction of frogs in Froggy Bottom Bog, and after all she could make a scientific breakthrough! She also had to write a report to Princess Celestia and meet the girls at Sugarcube Corner for lunch and that was it, her afternoon was completely unscheduled. She thought what to do for the rest of the day, reading a book was always an option but she could also take a stroll through the park or even better she could bring a book with her, it was a sunny day after all. If she was really lucky she would see Lyra there as well and maybe have a little chat, which would make this day perfect like any day she met Lyra, she knew it was a little weird but she couldn’t help herself. After she was finished eating the pancakes she grabbed her notebook and started to finish her research. *** Lyra was having a great day so far, she slept perfectly after last night’s activities and Bon Bon made the perfect breakfast which gave her the energy so desperately needed. She was indeed lucky to have a marefriend like Bon Bon, she truly made her happy and comforted her when she was sad, sure they had a fight here and there but they never managed to stay angry at each other for long and day they made up usually ended like last night did. She smiled as she was thinking at everything they did last night. Lyra was indeed a happy mare, a happy mare that currently had to do something before she had to go practice. She thought what that something was, at first she thought she would go do something with Bon Bon but remembered that she was working and after some time she came to the conclusion that she would read a book, specifically the newest Daring Doo book. So the grabbed the book, sat on the couch and started to read about the adventures of the Pegasus explorer not knowing that a certain purple unicorn that dreamt about her every night was reading as well.
Chapter 2: The AnniversaryLyra was sitting comfortably on her couch and reading the last few sentences of the chapter in the Daring Doo book she was currently on. This chapter was one of the more exciting ones because it finally introduced some action which was good because the introduction was kind of boring. Not that the book was boring, she actually found it a bit interesting to read some history facts. Right after she finished reading that particular chapter she heard somepony unlocking the door. The pony had the key to the house and that meant that pony was Bon Bon. She smiled gleefully at that because it meant that her marefriend remembered what day it was, their anniversary. Today was exactly five years since they got together, five years of sharing each other’s lives, the sad moments and the happy moments as well as the occasional intimate moments. She blushed a bit at all the memories but that passed quickly as she heard her walking into their living room. Lyra turned around and saw her cream-coloured marefirend trotting towards her with a smirk on her face. The moment Bon Bon was close enough to Lyra she gently grabbed her head with her hooves and kissed her passionately on the lips. It was a long and a pretty amazing kiss and Lyra released a quiet moan before the candy maker finally released her marefriend. “Happy anniversary dear,” said Bon Bon still smirking while sitting down on the couch next to the green mare. “Happy anniversary to you too beautiful,” replied Lyra smiling at her marefriend. I really am a lucky mare to have her in my life, she thought. They agreed a week ago that they would go for a nice walk through the town park and have a romantic dinner after that. She was really looking forward to it as they haven’t been to a restaurant together in ages. All in all it was going to be a great day she was sure of that. “So how is the most important mare in my life doing today?” Bon Bon asked giving Lyra another brief quick kiss on her lips. She was really looking forward to their anniversary, it was a big number of years they spent together after all. Five whole years she spent in joy and sadness with the love of her life. Throughout the morning she was remembering all the moments they spent together. She was especially remembering the days when the two of them met and became a couple. She considered herself a really lucky mare to be with her. Since the moment she laid eyes on her she knew that the mare she was looking at was the one with which she wanted to spend her days with. Confessing her feelings was a really difficult and scary process but it was all worth it and she wasn’t regretting doing it. The days they spent getting to know each other were the days she treasured the most. Her cute laugh and her honey voice made her heart flutter. At the time they started to spend more and more time together talking, laughing and exchanging interests. A month or so after she told her that she loved her and Lyra’s response was a long passionate kiss, not to unlike the one they shared a moment ago. After Lyra graduated she moved into her Ponyville house and the rest is history. Lyra responded in a casual tone: “Oh I’m doing great. I slept great, ate great, read a part of a great book and I’m about to have a great evening”, she stopped for a second and put on a smile, “That is if you haven’t forgotten what we have planned out for today.” Bon Bon pretended to look shocked: “Oh Lyra dear you really wound me by not trusting me,” they just looked at each other before breaking into laughter together. They did this sort of thing sometimes when one of them needed cheering up or when the mood somewhere needed to be lighten up. “Of course I remember what we have planned out, I even closed up the shop a little early than usual just for you.” “Awww thank you I really like that you closed earlier just for me,” Lyra said to her marefriend and hugged her immediately, the hug was followed up with a peck on the cheek.” “Yes, well we should get ready and go, we do want to make good use of the time we have don’t we?” Bon Bon smiled. She wasn’t joking this time, she really wanted to spend as much of this day with Lyra as it was possible. The dinner was just a finishing touch to a perfect day, the real fun was spending time together in the park and planning for the future, discussing random topics or simply cuddling. With that they got up and trotted through the living room and up the stairs to take the bath together and do other similar things a pony does before they go out on a day like this one. *** Twilight has just finished her lunch at Sugarcube Corner and was on her way back to the tree she called home. This lunch and a talk with her wonderful friends was what she needed to lighten up a bit. The six mares have discussed a number of things, one of which was Rarity’s plans to open up a second shop and in Canterlot no less! It surely was an ambitious idea but she was sure that with some help from her friends Rarity could pull it off. Canterlot, the city in which she left her heart. Today marked five years since that sad event. Usually she would spend the evening with a bottle of hard cider and a soft pillow but today was going to be different, at least that was what she hoped. The plan was to distract herself with research of some kind or a good book. Twilight saw Lyra walking with Bon Bon and she stopped walking. The couple was smiling happily, only noticing each other. That was okay in Twilight’s book, they were a couple and it was their anniversary after all. For the first time today Twilight genuinely smiled, Lyra was happy. Her being happy was what she really needed, more than her friends or all the books in the world. The couple just trotted by and she couldn’t help but to steal a glance at Lyra. She was truly beautiful, her mane swishing back and forward, not to forget her tail moving hypnotically. At that moment her mind and soul were screaming at her to fight for her love, urging her to kiss her and show how much she meant to her, how much she cared for her. She wanted to do it she really did but that meant hurting Lyra’s relationship with Bon Bon and potentially Lyra herself and she couldn’t do that if her life depended on it. Instead of listening to her hearts’ wishes she took the pain that was the second option and trotted back home. *** It was now evening, the Sun was setting and shinning its last rays upon the town and the Moon was slowly rising as its counterpart was setting. A pair of mares was leaving a restaurant after a romantic dinner. The cream-coloured mare spoke fist with a smile on her face: “Well that was an amazing dinner wasn’t it dear?” Her marefriend smiled back at her. It really was an amazing dinner and she enjoyed every bit of it. “Yes it was I really enjoyed every bite of it,” she said. The perfect dinner for the ending of an important day in her life. Lyra was silently trotting along Bon Bon when she felt the need to say how much she loved her beautiful marefriend. “You know you are the best thing that has happened to me,” she said. Bon Bon smiled and kissed her. The kiss was short yet it had a meaning of deep love behind it. “I know Lyra I feel the exact same way, meeting you has changed my life for ever and I am not regretting it,” said Bon Bon. They smiled at each other and kissed again. Everything they felt for each other was put into that kiss. What they both failed to notice was a lavender unicorn who just came from around the corner. That unicorn was Twilight Sparkle and she stopped dead in her tracks. She felt her heart scream at her again. It was telling her to do something, anything to be the one kissing the golden-eyed beauty. Soon the couple stopped kissing and moved on only to bump into a unicorn they did not know was there. That brief contact was too much for Twilight to endure and her emotional dam broke. She quickly grabbed Lyra’s head and kissed her with all of her might. All the years of care, love and stealing glances at her were put into that kiss and what a kiss it was. It was a kiss that quite clearly stated ‘I love you and want to spend the rest of my existence with you’. Bon Bon was shocked and her brain was trying to comprehend that Twilight Sparkle was kissing HER marefriend with all her might. The effort wasn’t going to well so she just stood there. Lyra was even more shocked than Bon Bon was to the point she was paralyzed. All the energy she had was being used up to process the fact that her fillyhood friend was kissing her. She wasn’t expecting anything remotely close to this on her anniversary. Now that she thought about it Twilight tended to act funny near her but she somehow failed to realise that was a consequence of a crush. That was certainly a revelation to her and got her thinking how this would affect her relationship with Bon Bon, she was worried about it a bit now. Soon Twilight realised what she was doing and released Lyra and backed up a bit. She was visibly worried and scared but before anypony could ask a question she teleported away leaving tow stunned mares behind.
Chapter 3: AftermathIn the library Twilight was laying on her bed and thinking about what she had just done. It was a moment of weakness. She had just brushed ever so slightly against the most important pony in her life. The sweet scent of her loved one invaded her nostrils and despite all the effort she was putting in self control she went in and kissed her. That kiss was the most beautiful thing she has ever experienced. When her soft lips touched her own she almost fainted. She will never forget that wonderful moment. Why couldn’t she just put in some more effort and avoid all the explanations she will certainly have to give now? This will most likely ruin what ever friendship she had with Lyra and Bon Bon as well as every chance of love she ever had. With all the emotions and confusion the lavender unicorn was experiencing she broke down and started to cry silently in the darkness of her room. *** While Twilight was crying in her room Lyra was recovering from the unexpected kiss she has just experienced. She couldn’t believe that she was just kissed by non other than one of her oldest friends. A million questions were currently on her mind. Why did Twilight kiss her? Did she like her? How is this going to affect her relationship with Bon Bon? The most important one on her mind was what was Bonnie thinking right now. The minty green mare turned her head around to see a shocked look on her marefriend’s face. “Bon Bon are you okay?” she asked worrying for her relationship. Bon Bon’s thoughts on the other hoof were full of doubt. One side of her was currently alarmed that Lyra was cheating one her but her other side was telling her that she would never do that to her and that she loved her with all of her heart. Nevertheless, she was still doubting her marefriend’s loyalty to her. Then something woke her from her thoughts. It was a voice, her marefriend’s voice. She was asking her if she was okay, she sounded worried about her. Maybe she isn’t cheating on her like that voice inside her head was telling her? She decided that taking everything calmly was the best course of action. “Y-Yes I am fine… mostly,” she finally answered, “Lyra, what just happened, why did Twilight kiss you?” Lyra was expecting that question but she didn’t know what to say to her. “I do not know Bon Bon I really don’t,” she said as a tear left her eye, “I swear I am not cheating on you.” “Then how do you explain this huh Lyra!?” snapped Bon Bon. She didn’t know what came over her but she was angry. Lyra immediately flinched and started to cry. “Please... believe me Bonnie, Please,” she weeped as she threw herself into Bon Bon and wrapped her arms around her neck. Bon Bon immediately regretted that she yelled at Lyra earlier and patted her gently on the back. “I believe you Lyra, I know that you would never do something like that to me,” she said as she embraced her in a warm hug, “but the first thing me and you are doing tomorrow morning is going to Twilight and demanding some answers.” “Y-yes, of course, I love you Bon Bon.” she said as Bon Bon kissed her. The kiss lasted a couple of seconds before their lips separated. “I love you too Lyra, forever,” she said as the couple started to walk back to their humble home. *** The morning after the mess she created, Twilight woke up hoping that Lyra and Bon Bon would simply forget what has happened last night. She knew that was a lie but that thought made her feel safe. It gave her a way out of this mess, maybe they wouldn’t come at all and everything would go back to the way they were before last night happened. Just when she was starting to relax she heard someone nocking on the door. “Twilight! Open up!” The voice called. She recognised that voice. It was the sweet and beautiful voice of the mare she loved. That scared her. She didn’t know what to do. Should she open the door and confront Lyra about her feelings, the moment she was fearing for so long or should she simply pretend to not be home? As much as the later was appealing she knew that nopony can run away from their problems forever, besides who would believe that she wasn’t home anyway? Spike was helping Pinkie with a cake today so she had to do everything on her own today. Slowly, she got up and walked downstairs to open the door as the knocking got louder. “we know you are in there Twilight open the door this instant!” Yelled a different voice, unmistakeably Bon Bon’s. Twilight froze, both of them were here? That made things even worse. Bon Bon is going to be even angrier than Lyra. She just hoped that she had the strength necessary to do this. With a lot of fear and doubt in herself, Twilight unlocked the door and opened them to see two angry mares looking back at her. “Twilight we need to talk about last night,” said lyra angrily. Twilight sighed and looked down. “I know. Please come in,” she said, turned around and walked to a couch she bought for library visitors recently. The mares followed her. “Please, sit down,” she offered pointing her hoof to the comfy couch next to her. Bon Bon just shook her head, “No thanks we will stand.” “Alright, I hope you don’t mind if I sit while we talk” After Twilight sat down Lyra asked, “Twilight you know why we are here.” Twilight just nodded and Lyra continued, “We want answers. We want to know what happened Last night.” Twilight sighed again. “There is no simple answer, I don-” “Not a simple answer!? How can this be complicated? Just explain why you kissed my marefriend!” Snapped Bon Bon. Lyra put her hoof over Bon Bon’s mouth in an attempt to silence her and said, “Calm down a little dear ok? Do it for me.” Bon Bon seemed to calm down at that and remained silent. Twilight on the other hoof tried to finish what she was saying before, “You are right Bon Bon things are relatively simple.” Twilight stopped talking for a second. This was it, the moment she has been waiting for many long years. She was about to confess her love to Lyra. “Lyra, I love you,” there, it was said and now she knew. Lyra’s eyes went wide at that. She knew Twilight at least had a crush on her. There was also the possibility that she considered her pretty and that she did what she did while she was slightly drunk. Alcohol was known to cause ponies to do things they wouldn’t normally do after all. She didn’t know what to think. The kiss she was given last night was more than an act of a silly crush, it was an act of love and Lyra knew it. It made sense with all the care and passion put into one short kiss, what else could it be? “Twilight,” Started Lyra, “for how long?” “Since we met. It took me some time to figure my emotions out but in the end I knew I loved you from the moment I first laid my eyes on you.” Bon Bon just stared angrily at Twilight while Lyra apologized, “Twilight, I’m so sorry for not noticing it earlier. All those times you helped me study for a test, kept me company and comforted me when I was sad and I never noticed anything.” A small smile appeared on Twilight’s face. “It’s okay Lyra you were in love. Your thoughts were focused on somepony else.” Lyra smiled back at her in gratitude but suddenly Bon Bon snapped again, “Ok we get it, you love her now get over it and leave us alone!” After that she stormed out of the library. Lyra looked back at her in disappointment. “I’m sorry about her, she is just afraid for our relationship. I will talk to her about it and then we will talk again and finish this. There is so much me and you need to talk about.” “Okay, I will be waiting for you,” Twilight said and nodded in relief. Lyra then ran after her marefriend and Twilight closed the door behind her. It was over and done. She told Lyra how she truly helped and it worked out more or less okay. Now Lyra and Bon Bon needed to think about what they just learned and probably have a talk about it. She just hoped that they would stay together, for Lyra’s sake.
Chapter 4: The DinnerAt her residence Lyra Heartstrings was deep in thought. She was trying to think of a way to make peace between Twilight and Bon Bon before one of them did something they would regret. It was only a mater of time now before they get in a fight or something. If she could get them to know each other maybe they would cease with the hostility that was between. Suddenly, she thought of an idea. She would ask Twilight to come over for diner. She would be more than glad to come because she would get to spend time with her. Bon Bon would probably disagree with the idea of Twilight visiting but she could be persuaded with a cute, begging look. If that failed she would ask her to do it for her. This idea could easily solve all the problems she was currently having, but it could just as easily crash and burn. Lyra was a natural optimist and she was sure that it would work. Now she had to convince Bon Bon, who was currently taking a bath. She was still really upset about the whole Twilight thing. Although one would think she was just upset, Lyra could see something else in here eyes. She saw confusion and doubt. The minty green mare wasn’t sure what she was confused about but she was pretty sure that it had something to do with Twilight. If she couldn’t make up her mind if Twilight was a threat to her or not then maybe she could convince her to let Twilight visit a bit easier. Just as she was wondering if Bon Bon was ever going to leave the bathroom or if she was going to stay in there for the rest of the day she heard the bathroom door open. The beige coloured mare immediately went to their room and Lyra followed her. The door was closed so she knocked to ask for permission to enter. “Bon Bon may I come in?” She asked. “Come in dear,” she said, while looking through the window. She appeared to be thinking very hard about something. “I need to ask you something,” said Lyra nervously. Bon Bon stopped thinking about whatever she was thinking and turned around to face Lyra. “Well go ahead dear,” she said, now bearing a smile on her face. “I was thinking that we could ask Twilight over for dinner, since you two don’t get along very well. If you talked a bit and got to know each other better, maybe you would stop fighting,” she said with a smile, “maybe even become friends.” “You are still worried about my overreaction aren’t you?” “Y-yes, yes I am. I don’t want you two fighting.” “I understand that but look at it from my point of view. There is a pony out there that is in love with my marefriend. How am I supposed to react to that if not at least defensive?” “I get it I really do but could you at least give it a chance? Please, for me?” Bon Bon sighed. She couldn’t hurt her Lyra like this. She would do it, as she said...for her. “Ok Lyra invite her over but remember that I can’t promise that everything will go smoothly. We are rivals after all.” A huge grin appeared on Lyra’s face and she tackled Bon Bon into a hug. “Thank you so much Bonnie! You’ll see that everything will go great. There will be no problems whatsoever." “I sure hope so Lyra, I sure hope so,” whispered Bon Bon. A few minutes later Lyra was on her way to invite Twilight to dinner and her smile was as wide as it could get. Twilight and Bon Bon would be friends and then the three of them could solve this problem together. They could help Twilight move on and find her somepony else to love and if that didn’t work maybe they could do something a bit more drastic for their current relationship. If Twilight and Bonnie would even agree to such a thing. She was thinking about the three of them forming a herd. Herds weren’t rare to find in Equestria, they were quite common in smaller towns and villages. There were herds even in big cities, every city had them except Canterlot. The high and noble unicorns didn’t like ideas such as herding, fillyfoolery or coltcuddling. As a result, ponies tented to move out of the great city in order to have normal lives and not be glared at every five seconds they were outside their homes. Thankfully she moved out as soon as she finished her education. Her parents did not like that too much but they were okay with it when they realised that she couldn’t be talked out of it. That didn’t mean they approved of her relationship though. They constantly tried to and still do try to convince her to brake up with Bonnie and go find herself a nice stallion. That was never going to happen and they should finally accept it. Lyra was so lost in thought that she ran into the library door. She could see Princess Luna’s stars as if it was night. She heard someone trotting towards the door. The door opened and Twilight stood there confused. When she saw that Lyra was in pain she immediately got worried. “Are you okay Lyra?” She asked. “Yeah, I just wasnt looking where I was going.” “S-so what brings you here?” Said Twilight. Her voice was full of hope. She hoped that she would finally be able to talk to Lyra alone, without Bon Bon interrupting. Ugh! That mare! Why couldn’t she leave them alone for a moment? She was worried about her relationship with Lyra and Twilight understood that. That still wasn’t an excuse though. She clearly said that she would never try to sabotage their relationship. “Well I wanted to ask you over for dinner with me and Bon Bon tonight.” Twilight was excited and smiled happily but then she realised something and her smile dropped. “Wait, did Bon Bon agree to this. It really doesn’t sound like something she would agree to,” she said. Secretly, she hoped that Lyra didn’t ask Bon Bon. It would mean that Lyra actually liked her more than she let other ponies know. “Yes, she did actually. Reluctantly, but she did.” That surprised Twight, but she was glad to come either way. “So why do you two want me over for dinner for?” She asked. “Well it was my idea. I thought that since you and Bon Bon don’t get along for obvious reasons, you could meet and get to know each other a bit better. That way you would understand each other better and maybe stop arguing about me,” she explained “Well ok then. I see no reason not to give it a shot,” she said with a charming smile. “Great,” said Lyra, “see you at eight!” said Lyra and trotted away happy that her plan was working so far. After she arrived home she immediately started to plan out the evening. When Twilight arrives they are going to dine immediately and talk. After that they will have a drink and finish of the evening. It is going to be so much fun! Later that day Twilight was just about to leave for her dinner with Lyra and Bon Bon when Spike interrupted her. “Twilight where are you going this late?” He asked her. “Oh I’m sorry Spike, I forgot to tell you. Lyra and Bon Bon have invited me over for dinner,” she answered. Spike raised his eyebrow curiously at that. “Really? Well I hope you have fun then,” he said. “Thanks Spike,” she said, “and don’t forget to go to bed before I come back!” “I will, I will,” “Bye Spike.” “Bye Twilight. Have fun.” The lavender mare left her library deep in thought. She was both happy and scared. This night could very well be a decisive night for her future with Lyra. If this vent as she hoped it did Lyra will enjoy herself so much that she actually might even give her a kiss that she so desired. She saw their house and neared it’s door. She knocked on it and prepared herself for what was about to come. She heard somepony walking to the door. The wooden door opened to reveal Bon Bon with a worried look on her face.”Oh, it’s you,” she said and let Twilight walk in. “Good evening Bon Bon, said Twilight with a sweet smile. “Yes, good evening to you to Twilight,” “Tell me Bon Bon, where is Lyra?” she asked. “She is upstairs, in the bathroom. She’ll be down in a minute,” Answered Bon Bon. As Bon Bon said Lyra trotted down the stairs happily a few moments later and saw that Bon Bon has already brought the dinner from the kitchen and having a chat with Twilight. They Eere both smiling! The table was nicely prepared. There where three candels placed in front of each ceramic plate and an expensive-looking white tablecloth covered the circular wooden table. She took her seat in between her marefirend and her guest and joined in on the dinner. She decided to start a conversation between the three of them, between Bon Bon and Twilight to be precise so she choose a topic that was both appropriate and interesting to Bon Bon. “So Twilight, what do you cook for yourself back home. Is it something like this or do you prefer making sweet deserts?” she asked. “Well Lyra, I actually tried both in the past but It always ended in disaster. I would like to learn to cook and I try making a meal at least once a week but I have had no success so far,” she said with a slight frown. “Oh it isn’t everything in talent Twilight. You need to watch the quality of the vegetables and fruit you buy as well as other products. Many other things need to be taken care of as well but do you know what the most important part of cooking is Twilight? It’s Love. You need to put your heart into it and it will always be better,” said Bon Bon. She actually meant every word she said. After her previous chat with Twilight she learned that her she learned that she wasn’t as bad as she thought she was. They even shared some interests. She had much more in common with Lyra though that’s for sure. No wonder she was in love with her. “You know I will try that Bon Bon thanks!” She said with a huge grin. “No problem Twilight. I could even teach you some things if you’d like.” “That would be amazing Bon Bon. I can’t wait!” Lyra grinned as well and got up from her chair. “Alright, this was delicious Bon Bon. Let’s have a drink,” she said. Bon Bon nodded and got up, Twilight followed her hosts. Lyra poured some them all some wine and they all smiled to each other and drank it all at once. Bon Bon was thinking about something that was bothering her the whole day. The problem only grew tonight and her life could take a quick turn to catastrophe if she did what she currently wanted to do. Against all the warnings her brain was giving her she acted against them and went through with her decision. She pinned Twilight to their couch and kissed her passionately. Unexpectedly, Twilight kissed her back and Lyra was watching them with interest.
Chapter 5: The EndAs the first rays of Celestia’s Sun shone through the window Lyra Heartstrings started to wake up. She was still tired and that big ball of light in the sky that was shining through her window wasn’t really helping. It probably was a good idea to get up and eat something, especially after last night’s activities. The three of them sure did have a wild and fun time. How it even escalated to that point she had no idea. Who knew that rolling in bed with two other ponies would take out so much energy out of her. To somepony else it could look like they where doing something slightly more intimate. She turned her head around to look at Twilight and Bon Bon. Last night has brought them all much closer together. Although she still hasn’t asked Bon Bon how she felt about Twilight, she could tell by the possessive way the librarian was being hugged that she liked her. A lot. Most likely much talking about the future would be involved at the breakfast but for now she just wanted to cuddle with her marefriends. It was only a matter of time before Twilight came to live with them in their house, she was sure of it. Lyra just snuggled up to Bon Bon to sleep for a couple of minutes before she had to get up and make breakfast. A couple of minutes later Twilight woke up and noticed that she was being hugged affectionately by Bon Bon. She promptly freed herself of the candy maker’s grasp and shook her awake. Bon Bon just groaned tiredly, as if she was trying to protest and tried to swat the hoof that woke her up. Luckily for Twilight she failed in her efforts to stay asleep and tiredly sat on the bed. “What?” asked the cream mare tiredly. She was barely aware of her surroundings and it took her a moment to realise who she was talking to. “Twilight? What are you doing here?!” she asked. She was surprised to see the librarian in her bed until a couple of seconds later when she remembered what happened the previous day. The fight in the morning, the dinner and all the cuddling the three of them ended their night with. It all came rushing back into her head. “Oh,” she said with a blush appearing on her face. “I see you remembered all the fun things we did last night,” said Twilight with a suggestive grin. “Yeah, I do. It sure was fun,” answered Bon Bon, still blushing furiously. “Well, I am glad that you had as much fun as I did Bon Bon,” “Thanks Twilight.” “Now, I think we should wake up our sleeping beauty here,” said Twilight while pointing to Lyra’s sleeping form. “Yes a beauty she really is,” said Bon Bon quietly. Twilight got of the bed and moved to Lyra’s other side and gently shook her in an atempt to wake her up. “Ughhhh,” groaned Lyra, “What time is it?” For some reason Twilight was in a comedic mood and attempted to be funny. “It is around seven thirty in the morning dear,” she said Lyra opened her eyes and saw Twilight standing besides her on one side and Bon Bon on the other. “Um, good morning to you too,” she said and got up. “What do you girls want for breakfast?” she asked. Bon Bon and Twilight just looked eachother and a moment later Bon Bon spoke up. “We don’t really care Lyra.” “As long as you make it,” added Twilight. Lyra blushed at that comment. She was really surprised that Twilight and Bon Bon’s relationship changed so much so quickly. She guessed that love can indeed do wonders and it made her happy. She was looking forward to their lives together.
