Music at Twilight

In 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.
