Lyra and Bon Bon: The Emptiness

It had been a year since Bon-Bon and Lyra Heartstrings had taken in Scootlaoo, and what a year they had. There were twists, turns,and loop-de-loops. Yet one fact always remained the same.

Scootlaoo loved her mothers. She loved Bon-Bon’s gentle, yet firm touch. She loved Lyra’s strong, sensible attitude. It was the perfect blend, and the filly couldn’t have been happier.

The mothers also enjoyed their little orange bundle of joy. She was energetic, charismatic, and even a bit sensitive when the time called for.
She helped Bon-Bon at her candy stand, and she quickly learned harpsichord from Lyra. She was such a natural, in fact, that for Hearths Warming Lyra got her a starter harpsichord.

BOOM

This noise shook up the foundation of the house violently. It even interrupted Bonnie and Lyra’s....”Makeout Session”. Lyra got out of bed and check for the noise. She trotted into the living room and made a shocking discovery.

Scootaloo was covered in grease, oil, and tire polish. Beside her was her scooter, and it was beaten up pretty badly.

Lyra gasped and checked Scootaloo, making sure that she wasn’t hurt.

“What’s going on, honey bun?”, Bonnie called from upstairs.

“Nothing, baby cakes. Nothing at all”, Lyra said while winking at Scootlaoo.

Scootlaoo chuckled and hugged her mother. She may have been covered in oil, but Celestia be damned if Lyra wasn’t going to accept a hug from her daughter.

“Come on, Scoots, let’s get you a bath running”, Lyra said.

“Ok!”, Scootaloo happily said.

When Scootlaoo trotted upstairs, she passed a very shocked Bonnie.

“Should I even ask?”, Bon-Bon asked.

“Nope, not a word honey”, Lyra smiled.

The couple laughed and went to the bathroom.

Their daughter was sure a handful. But that never mattered.
