I'm New Here

I slowly opened my eyes, wincing at the bright sun shining through my windows. I had forgotten to close the curtains last night. Vinyl and Derpy were snoring on the air mattress with Vinyl hugging Derpy in her sleep. I let out a chuckle at that. I want to see their reaction when they wake up. I tried to roll over and glanced behind me, eyes slightly widening. Lyra was snoring quietly on her back, hugging my strawberry plush. Her mint green hair was messed up but it always was like that.

I quietly slipped out of the bed and heard the bed shift. I glanced back as Lyra rolled over, still holding Mr. Berry as she cracked open an eye, staring at me with her golden orbs as she rubbed the sleep out of her eye.

“Bonnie?” She muttered. “Where you going?”

“Oh uh going to get breakfast Lyra,” I replied quietly. I didn’t want to wake the others up. Lyra sat up and set Mr. Berry aside as she rubbed both eyes.

“What do you guys have?” She mumbled.

“Cereal, breakfast burritos, cinnamon rolls and pancakes. I typically just cook my own breakfast. Would you like some?” I offered.

“Sure. Do you want help?” Lyra yawned as she stood up.

“You don’t have to if you don’t want to,” I turned around to face her and bright red. Lyra was pulling a pair of her jeans on as she stood with only a bra and her jeans on. My mouth went slightly dry.

“What’s up?” Lyra asked and I caught a faint blush on her face which surprised me. Lyra never blushes.

“Oh uhm nothing. Just didn’t expect you to you know,” I waved my hand around helplessly looking for my words.

“Strip down to my underwear and bra to put my clothes on? Yeah I thought I had enough time to get done before you turned around,” Lyra admitted as she pulled a shirt on over her head. “I may have miscalculated that a tad. Sorry.”

“No! It’s okay. You can help yes,” I answered.

“Lead the way.”

“Uhm you have something on your face,” I smirked. Lyra held a bowl of pancake batter in her hand and wasn’t being very clean to put it mildly. A few large drops of batter were splattered across the counter and some was on her face.

“That’s what she said,” Lyra mumbled. I coughed out a short laugh. I wasn’t expecting that to honest. Lyra flicked some batter onto my face.

“Hey!” I exclaimed as I glared at her.

“Now you have something on your face. Let me take care of that for you,” Lyra set her bowl down and stepped closer to me, licking the batter off my cheek. And for the millionth time, I could feel my cheeks burning. “There you go. All clean.”

“T-thanks Lyra,” I mumbled as Vinyl and Derpy stumbled into the kitchen.

“Good morning,” Vinyl smiled.

“Hello,” I smiled back as I tossed a container of blueberries in the batter.

“You know, I wouldn’t mind someone covering me in this batter and licking it off me,” Lyra commented idly.

“Lyra!” Derpy exclaimed, giving her a flat look. I was getting the feeling Derpy isn’t to be messed with early mornings. Weird because she’s super friendly in the morning at school.

“What? I wasn’t saying anything super sexual. Calm down,” Lyra rolled her eyes.

“It’s too early for this,” Derpy grumbled. “I should have brought a muffin from home to save for the morning.”

“Why?” I raised an eyebrow. “Me and Lyra are making breakfast.”

“That’s exactly why I should have brought one. You can cook but Lyra can’t. I’m traumatized after last time,” Derpy explained.

“Hey! It wasn’t that bad!” Lyra glared at Derpy.

“You almost set your house on fire.”

“That was an accident.”

“Three times. In one day. Trying to make macaroni and cheese.” Lyra stared at Derpy.

“Shut up Derpy. Thanks for getting me a new fire extinguisher by the way. I really needed a new one,” Lyra admitted.

“You’re welcome,” Derpy glanced at me. “Anything we can do? It doesn’t seem fair for you guys to do all the work.”

“You don’t have to. My mom always said never have guests do any work. It’s rude,” I replied as I poured some batter into the pan. “And I’m sure Lyra’s batter will turn out fine. I supervised her make it.”

“Is she allowed to say that?” Vinyl smirked at Derpy. “She’s kinda biased.”

“How so?” I raised an eyebrow as I glanced back.

“Lyra is your girlfriend. You’re supposed to stand up for her.”

“Good point,” I grabbed a spoon and scooped out some batter from Lyra’s, licking the spoon with my tongue. Lyra turned faintly red and quickly looked away. “It’s decent.”

“Okay. I trust you,” Vinyl shrugged.

“If we can’t help, why is Lyra?” Derpy pointed out. That was a good point I suppose.

“I can’t say no to her I guess,” I admitted. “I don’t really know.”

“Good point,” Derpy replied with a grin.

“Good morning!” Mom announced. She was scarily chipper some mornings.

“Hey Bon Bons mom,” Derpy smiled.

“Hello. How are you?” Mom immediately went to the coffee machine and started making her coffee. She couldn’t start her day without it and I could relate sometimes. Coffee was a Godsend.

“Decent thank you.” I handed mom her favorite coffee cup and she gave me a grateful nod before filling it up, peering into the pan.

“Nice work,” Mom ruffled my hair to my dislike. At least she did this in the morning when my hair wasn’t curled like I always do. She took her coffee and left the room.

“Hey Derpy. Wanna go to a birthday party? I have to help my bro set up the booth,” Vinyl asked as I handed her a pancake.

“I don’t do parties. Too many people and too loud for me,” Derpy shook her head. “Thanks for the offer though.”

“You two can come also,” Lyra nodded at us. I don’t really do parties either to be honest.

“Uhm do we have to bring gifts?” I asked curiously. I hoped not, mainly because I had no idea what to bring for a complete stranger. Vinyl shook her head to my relief.

“No, just you. You can bring drinks if you want.”

“Oh so it’s one of those parties!” Lyra grinned.

“Lyra!” I admonished. “You’re underage.”

“It’s not one of those parties. I meant like pop,” Vinyl clarified to my relief. I didn’t want to have to deal with a drunk Lyra. Lyra looked at me questioningly and I shrugged.

“We’re in.”
