'Til Death do us Part

"Hey!" Bon Bon nudged me. "Would you like to get up?"

I mumbled something in response, half-asleep. Bon Bon gave me a shove.

"I just want to make sure you're okay.."

I opened my eyes, my vision slowly going in to focus. Once I came to, I saw Bon Bon fixing my blankets. My eyes went wide.

"DID I FALL ASLEEP?!?!" I quickly jumped out of bed and threw open the curtains. A dark purple covered the top half of the land. Brilliantly crafted stars were spread across the night sky like sprinkles on cupcakes. I saw a shooting star and quickly made a secret wish, whispering softly to only myself.

"Yes, you did fall asleep.. It was adorable.." Bon Bon blushed and cocked her head to the side as I whispered into the window. "Hm? What was that? You wish bean bags would kick you?"

I quickly turned around and caught her eyes into mine. "N-no," I said back meekly, blushing lightly. I trotted over and flipped the switch on, a bright light penetrating my weak eyes and casting itself outside my window.

"I had just seen a shooting star and thought I would make a wish," I replied back with a goofy grin. I moved over to the couch to sit in my silly way, patting the cushion next to me. Bon Bon came bouncing over happily, her curly mane flopping carelessly.

"Would you like to know more about me?" She questioned with a smile. I just gave a nod as a response.

"Well.. As I mentioned before, my name is Bon Bon. I'm new here in Ponyville and was just checking things out, trying to meet new ponies. Then we managed to catch each other's gaze and you just flopped. Where were you going, anyways?" I opened my mouth to speak but was quickly interrupted.

"That can wait. But anyways, I've come from a valley a little past Canterlot to see if I could extend my social life. Seems to have been working so far.. I've already met a great pony!" She smiled at me, expecting me to know I was her new best friend. I just nodded for her to go on.

"And well.. that's just about it. Mama and Papa told me it would be a great idea, they even said I might be able to find a different kind of love than their's.. but I'm not exactly sure what that means." Bon Bon nudged the air in a motion that told me to tell her about myself.

"Uh.. Well.. My name is Lyra.. And I'm a unicorn.. I can only use my magic to play the lyre, which is my, uh, cutie mark.." A sudden wave of inspiration washed over me.

"I grew up here in Ponyville. All my life I've wanted to find the right pony for me, I know it's silly, but I thought it would come easy if I just believe at a young age." Bon Bon giggled and nuzzled her snout against my cheek. I blushed wildly.

"What if she's the one?" I questioned myself. "No.. she couldn't be.. But maybe if.. Oh, my. Am I really interested in her? I think I am.. Mom would say I'm crazy for liking her.. But Mom doesn't have to know.. What if Bon Bon feels the same way? Should I go for it?"

"Lyra.. May I ask you something?" Bon Bon gazed deep into my eyes. I nodded yes, returning the stare. "Since I don't have a house here yet.. Could I.." I quickly cut her off.

"Yes, Bon Bon, yes! That sounds like a great idea! We'll surely be the best of friends!" I shuffled into her and gave her a pony hug, squeezing her tightly.
