Music at Twilight

At 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.
