My Past Is Complicated

“Hey Bons,” I smirked at my girlfriend as I slid onto my bed. She was sitting on the bed writing in her notebook and occasionally chewing on the end of her pencil in thought which I found adorable. “What ya doin?”

“Writing a song,” she answered. “It’s for Sunset we can all sing. I have lines, you do, Derpy does, Vinyl does, Octavia does. Lightning and The Dazzlings do and so does The Illusions. If Sunset is in the mood for it, I have lines for her.” She quickly erased some before writing again. I peeked over her shoulder.

“You find out who your friends are?” I read the title out loud and squeezed her shoulders as I read some of the lyrics and smiled. “I think it’s a great song Bonnie.”

“I got some of the stage designed too. Think you and the others are gonna like it,” she grinned back.

“Woah hold on. Stage?” I asked curiously. “What are you talking about?”

“After we prove Sunset is innocent, I was thinking we could sing it in front of the school on the stage the Illusions won the battle of the bands on. Great outdoor setting and space. Enough seats for the whole school. It would really stick it the school and the Raingoons for how they treated her!” Bon Bon exclaimed as I relaxed onto the bed.

“I approve,” I said as a smile grew on my face. “This is a great idea.”

“Thanks Lyra,” Bon Bon gave me a kiss and I gave her a sultry look.

“Now why don’t you show me how grateful you actually are?” She smirked at me and tossed the notebook and climbed on top me. I gave her a quick kiss and slide my hand up her shirt.

“Someone’s eager,” Bon Bon teased.

“You have no idea.”

“So what do you have us all here for?” Vinyl asked as we all sat in the breakroom of my job. Technically, it was Bon Bons job as well. Benefits of dating the owners daughter is you can get a job easier.

“I have an idea,” I said. Trixie tilted her head to the side curiously. Lavender and Fuchsia looked at each other before focusing on me.

“Okay we are listening,” Lavender answered as Octavia nodded her agreement. Bon Bon sat next to me as I pulled my phone out.

“Alright so the song we did talking about Lavenders ex got a lot of views right?” I showed them the video.

“Right,” Lavender nodded with a grin. “Even a few people from Crystal Prep said it was good. Think their names were Lemon Zest and Coco Pommel. And this is Crystal Prep we are talking about. They never think anything someone from our school would.”

“Stuck up pricks,” I folded my arms and looked away. It was common knowledge our group hated the rival school with a burning passion. Well technically the whole school did, but minor detail. At least one thing united the school during this anon a miss shit.

“Trixie is confused,” Trixie announced. “We did good as a group yes but where are you going with this?”

“Since we got a lot of views and music can send a message. It can say a lot of things. Feelings and such. So what I propose is we do the exact same thing we did. Except we get a little bit more personal this time,” I explained.

“Yeah I’m still confused,” Bon Bon said after a moment of silence. “You want to make another song about Brawly? He already is getting ridiculed by the school and Flash Sentry kicked him out of the group for what he did. How far do you wanna take this, Lyra?”

“Not that. I feel we got our point across on that lowlife scum. Bet his birth certificate is an apology letter from the condom factory.” Lavender burst out laughing and high fived me.

“God I love you Lyra. You know the right stuff to say.”

“Love ya too fam,” I smirked as the room quieted down from laughing. Even Octavia had a smile on her face after that. “But no, I’m saying we make a song about a certain group. I don’t think we truly have gotten our revenge.”

“Trixie is listening.” I knew she would be down for whatever I came up with.

“I’m surprised you three are down for whatever it takes to bring down the Raingoons,” Vinyl commented as she tossed some caramel popcorn in her mouth. Bon Bon gave her a flat look.

“Please keep it clean in here. We don’t need the city in here again complaining about us living upstairs.” Vinyl gave her a thumbs up and Bon Bon nodded.

“We have modest goals in life,” Trixie admitted. “Be the best magician’s in all of Canterlot.”

“Be the best magician’s assistants!” Lavender chimed in with a smile.

“Crush the Raingoons under our purple and blue boots and be the best band at Canterlot High!” Fuchsia exclaimed with a clenched fist. “You know, modest goals.” I rolled my eyes with a chuckle.

“So what do you have planned now Lyra?” Vinyl as she crossed her legs and pulled her glasses on top of her head.

“Easy. We make a diss song. Kinda like what we did before but take it all the way.”

“A what?” Octavia asked with a raised eyebrow.

“It’s a song to purposefully insult a person or a group of people. The point is to be as rude and insulting as possible,” Vinyl explained.

“Yeah I uh don’t think I’m insulting enough,” Octavia admitted.

“Yeah me neither,” Bon Bon agreed. “We can record you guys though. We’re a group after all and we can still support you guys.” We all looked at each other and nodded.

“Trixie is in,” Trixie announced smugly as she and her other band mates stood up. “We will bring our lyrics if you guys bring yours. We should get the sirens involved. Strength in numbers.” As much as I didn’t want to work with those three girls, Trixie had a point. I let out a frustrated sigh.

“Fine.”
