Every Dark Night Turns Into Day

I walked down the hall eagerly bobbing my head to the music and waving at the random students who smiled at me. It was only a few but meh. I had my own group that cared about me now. I technically owe Sunset for that. She unknowingly got a lot of balls rolling by just stepping foot in this world.

Hell, she technically got me and Octavia together because Octavia was mad one day over something Sunset said about her and it gave me the courage to talk to her. Granted, there was more to that story but that’s for another day. Or as Pinkie said, the author was working on it. Whatever the hell that meant.

“Hey Vinyl!” Bon Bon appeared in front of me with a cheery grin. Thank God that her dating Lyra got her to loosen up. The only reason I knew she said my name was I was good at reading lips. I paused my music and slipped my head phones off.

“Hey Bons. How’s it going?” I asked with a smile as we started walking down the hall side by side.

“Great and yourself?” Bon Bon eagerly asked. I was slightly worried now. She was usually always happy yes but not like this. I’ve spent enough time around Lyra to know when someone is overly happy is because they want something.

“Decent I suppose. Accidentally put salt in my coffee today. That was a bit of a downside but who cares.”

“That sucks. Listen, can you help me with something?” Bon Bon asked hopefully with a glint in her eyes. There it was. Turns out she was spending too much time with Lyra because evidently the mint girl was rubbing off on her. In more ways than one.

“Yeah sure with what?” I asked cautiously.

“Playing a prank on Sunset and Lyra,” Bon Bon whispered in my ear and I grinned. Now that I was all for. “They put my hand in hot water at the first sleep over before you became friends with Sunset in an attempt to make me pee myself. I wanna prank em back.”

“Hold on,” I held up a hand as we approached Bon Bons locker. “Wasn’t that months ago? Why prank them now?”

“Because,” Bon Bon said simply. “I simply wanted to lure them into a false sense of security into thinking I wouldn’t prank them back. Now that it’s been months, they won’t be expecting a revenge prank now.” I stared at Bon Bon with wide eyes.

“You know, I’ve dealt with a fiery demon unicorn girl from a magical pony world who mind controlled you and my other friends who later became our best friend, and helped said best friend face down three girls who magically controlled you and my friends once again with magic from said magical pony world who also became our best friends. Out of all of them, I think you’re the most dangerous threat this school has ever faced.”

“Oh please,” Bon Bon scoffed with a mischievous grin. “I’m not that evil. I just waited and bidded my time till I could strike when they were at their weakest. Come by my house after school and we can go over the plan.”

“Hey there Vinyl!” Sweetie Drops said happily as I stepped into the Sweet Shoppe.

“Hey Miss Drops,” I grunted out as she hugged me. She and Derpy give the strongest hugs I swear. They should have a hug off one day. I’d pay good money to see that.

“You don’t have to call me that dear. Sweetie is just fine!” Sweetie Drops chuckled as she dumped random amounts of candy into my backpack. “Got your favorite chocolates in. Don’t eat them all in one go and remember to brush your teeth after eating. Caramel can do awful things to your teeth dearie!”

“I’ll be sure to do just that. Keeping my teeth in perfect condition is my main priority,” I reassured her as Bon Bon appeared at the top of the stairs and subtly beckoned me to hurry up.

“Based on your expression, I’m assuming my daughter is at the top of the stairs gesturing for you to hurry up?” Sweetie asked with a knowing smile.

“Uh maybe?” I admitted sheepishly.

“Go have fun,” Sweeties smile grew. “I know what you two are planning by the way. My lips are sealed. Just don’t scare Sunset and Lyra too much with this prank.” Why the hell did she know what was happening and I didn’t? I guess the rumors about Bon Bon having a tight relationship with her mom was true.

“I don’t even know what’s going to happen,” I admitted as I walked up the stairs as Bon Bons mom chuckled in response. I was pulled into Bon Bons room and she locked the door.

“Alright so Lyra has a accidental habit of putting plastic in her mouth to chew on. It’s a stress reliever and a something she just does subconsciously for fun too,” Bon Bon explained.

“Okay. I already knew this. How can chewing plastic prank Sunset?” I asked as I leaned on her bed and crossed my arms.

“Because. Once she sees Lyra try it, she’s gonna be confused and put the same item in her mouth and suck on it,” Bon Bon grinned.

“Okay?” I said in confusion. “What item?” Bon Bon grinned as she reached under her bed and pulled out said item, holding up said item and my eyes widened as I leaned forward.

“Holy shit.”

“Mhm,” Bon Bon giggled proudly. “I’m gonna open it up, put it in a box and act like someone delivered it to her house.”

“Are you actually going to use it?” I asked worriedly.

“Ew no! That’s disgusting!” Bon Bon exclaimed as she turned slightly green but grinned evilly. “But Lyra and Sunset don’t know that.” I gulped nervously. Remind me never to get on Bon Bons bad side.

And this, is what convinced me that Bon Bon was the most dangerous threat at Canterlot High.
