It was the beginning of the day. It would be pretty boring, if it weren't for the fact that it was the biggest party ever thrown in Ponyville. Pinkie always had parties, but nothing compared to this one. There would be dancing, cooking, friendship and of course, exhibitions... BonBon doesn't like that much, after all.
"Hnng! Almost there!" – The greenish unicorn insisted, pushing a blackboard and some boxes with a lot of old stuff.
His wife watched her. It is serious? She looked at the whole mess with that frown on her face.
"What are you doing there? Where did these things come from?" – She asked, still intrigued.
"Ohh, sweetie!" – She smiled, seemed to be coming up with the biggest plan of her life. – "It's a bit improvised, but I'm going to put on a show! The best one ever, in this case."
"Ah, yes. Know that I am a big fan of your work." – She smiled softly, lowering her ears. – "What song will you play on your harp?"
"Hoho, this time I wanted to do something different!"
"Ahh, no... Lyra, I already told you, humans don't exis-"
"Owaah! Blasphemy!" – She held the blackboard, explained some poorly made drawings. – Look! Humans are among us! The most famous ponies in Equestria are actually... Human!"
BonBon just rolled her eyes. Well, she knew that her wife sometimes had a hobby of researching and making conspiracy theories. But when you took it so seriously... Well, ignoring it would be the best thing, right?
"Ah...right. It's okay." – She just smiled, anyway hoping that Lyra would do well in the presentation – "I saw that it was a good job. I hope you can be happy."
"Awwe! I love you so much!" – she looked even happier, her forehead was now furrowed as she smiled. – "I'm going to be a much better scientist than Doctor Hooves!"
"Well, dreaming is nice sometimes." – BonBon packed her bag – "Anyway, I'm going out to help with the treats for the big party. Bye!"
Lyra was still on the table, feeling like the baddest pony in history. In a good way, of course.
"Okay, just be careful. It's raining a lot these afternoons, and it's kind of difficult to dry the sheets on the lines. If it rains, take them out.” –BonBon came back for a few seconds, again.
"Okay, babe. Alright, let's go. I have to leave too."
After that, Lyra runs from the door, much faster before locking the door. She ran so fast that she tripped over a stallion with brown fur and a dark mane. No... wait, that was Doctor Hooves!
"Ah, hello teacher!" – Lyra said, frowning, seeming to plan something. His smile was exaggerated at this time.
"oh please, I'm in a hurry!" – He stepped with his hooves nervously.
"Ohh, don't you have a moment? That's really bad... of you." – His smile was still exaggerated, he looked like he was going to get into trouble at any time. – "So, I know we've been rivals since a long time, and you know...heh, I mean, my projects are wonderful too, not to brag."
"Ohhh... " – Doctor groaned with concern, looking at the time from the tower. – "Yes, I know, but-"
"Sooo... this year I did something much better than you! This time, I can even surpass myself. It's today that I can prove that Princess Celestia is actually... a reptilihuman!!"
"What?"
"A reptilihuman!! do not know?! HAHAHA, they are always among us, being the famous ones. I suspect even Mayor Mare would be one."
"I would even say this was ridiculous and pointless, but I'm really in a hurry right now." – He runs, making her wrinkle her nose. "I'll see you at the big party, doctor." – She adjusted her hooves. – "Well, what was I going to do...?"
She quickly remembered, and walked to the sugarcube corner. Lyra stood on two legs... how strange it was. She stood in front of the counter where Pinkie, Mrs Cake and Sugar Belle were.
"Good morning, welcome to the sugar cube corner! here is a sugar cube for every-" Sugar Belle was interrupted just in time for the slogan.
"Well, I'll just want some decorated cupcakes for my presentation, that's all. You know, I'd like something really...mysterious! as if it were something mythical!" – his eyes shone when he said such things.
"Ah... like they were question marks?" – Sugar Belle asked, this time raising a hoof to try not to be interrupted again.
"Surprise me!" – She winked – "Do the best thing in the world and give it to me today!"
She then left happily, not that it didn't generate some comments.
"Hmmm.. So... different, right? – Sugar Belle smiled at her colleagues, trying to lighten the mood.
"oh, yes honey." – Mrs Cake nodded – "I wonder what she's going to come up with..."
Lyra Heartstrings was still trotting around the city, admiring all the starry decorations, that party could be the key to her success, and she knew it. She sniffed the air, still very happy.
"Oh man. Who do I want to fool? I feel so nervous... ah, I need more support." – So she walked to the spa, just to play in that colorful water with lots of bubbles. The problem is here, right. THAT PLACE WAS FULL!
"Ah, great. – She looked away, a little disappointed. Then, she ended up seeing an employee approach her.
"Oh, heavens, you're Lyra Heartstrings, right? That little filly that showed up in town... ah! Do you still know how to play your harp?" – she held her hooves to Lyra's chest as she said this. The greenish unicorn's pupils soon changed from their small pupil shape to large irises.
"Haha, me? Am I that famous?" – She smiled very enthusiastically, but tried to remain calm, moving her hooves behind her head, quickly scratching her mane.
"Yes!! I loved it. Please play it here, one of those very relaxing songs while quoting your poems. It would be a great honor!" – The employee was more excited about the idea.
"Don't worry!" – Lyra took the harp out of her backpack, drawing the attention of all those noisy ponies together.
"Life seems so boring.
I can guarantee that.
With the fact that you're here.
Just looking for something to entertain yourself.
It turns out that living life,
It's different from just existing in it."
A delightful background melody could be heard, as Lyra recited inspirational poems to everyone in that place. Everyone became much calmer in the queue, and little by little, they returned to normal.
Oh, thank you, thank you! – she thanked me – it was an honor to help, as that employee had told me, right."
At this time, a somewhat grumpy guy arrived. He started booing Lyra. Well, it wasn't a very good idea.
"In my time, poems were art!" – He shouted, irritated – "Not that kind of crap!"
She stopped playing the harp, just looking at him, still smiling.
"Hello, my good sir. Excuse me?"
"you heard. I criticized you."
"Ahh, why? You know how to do better, huh?” – She turned to him with more desire."
The guy's face became darker.
"Well, let's go. A challenge, this afternoon before the show. Everyone will see your defeat. Do you accept?"
"Oh, that's fine with me. It would be really funny." – She continued smiling at him like a maniac, while pressing their hooves together.
