Music at Twilight

Twilight 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.
