Call on Lyra

Call on Lyra

Name calling.

This is not so bad. If I can't see them, then they can't see me. Lyra smiled under her blanket, her head bobbing to the side as she followed the sounds of a very embarrassed Bon Bon. I wonder why she is in such a huffy mood, if anyone should not want to be seen its me. The unicorn stopped for a moment. O wait, I can't be seen! With that Lyra started bouncing after her friend, or at least, who she hoped was her friend.

I wonder why Bon Bon went so quiet, am I really that bad of a pony to be around? The unicorn's walking slowed. She never thought about what other ponies would think of Bon Bon when they saw who she was friends with. Friends with a hyper unicorn. Noooo, its fine. She is my friend and I know she is fine with everything. "Isn't that right Bon Bon?" She spoke as if her friend was reading her mind.

The sounds of hoofsteps changed as whoever was in front of her stopped. "Ooo, are we here Bon Bon? The town hall is a bit farther then I remember." Her eyes shrunk at the sound of a stallion clearing his throat. She immediately fell on her rump, red from embarrassment. Can't see me, can't see me. Please Celestia, at least don't let him recognize me.

"Look, little filly. I'm not sure who this Bon Bon is, but I assure you I am not her." Clearly, she has a sweeter voice. The colt sounded a little ticked off, but all Lyra could think of was how far in the ground she could hide herself. "Please don't tell me you were planning on following me all the way to the meeting?" She was if he never said anything. He was looking at her now, she could feel it. He was trying to stab her right through her hiding blanket.

"How about I just answer for you, you were not and will not. There you go." With a huff the rude colt was off, the sound of wings flapping showing that she was just scolded by a pegasus.  Lyra's tail swept at the dirt under her as she hung her head, gritting her teeth as she gently punched the dirt.

Just one time, let me say something next time. Him of all ponies should have been the one. "I thought pegasi were nice ponies, not uptight jerks that can't even help a girl out. Can't see when somepony right in front of you is in a little trouble?" Well, she did manage to say something, even if it was to the empty sky.

"You don't look like you are in that much trouble to me you weird pony." Bon Bon chimed in from behind, pulling the blanket away from the distraught unicorn. "Do you want to take this dumb thing off and get going now?" Lyra looked back with wet eyes, on the verge of tears. "Did you watch that the whole time Bon Bon?" The earthpony tilted her head, a little confused. "Yeah, whats so bad? I thought it was a little funny seeing you get a talking to by somepony else."

"Bon Bon, you know I don't like being around other ponies, and that is why! You said it yourself, I'm weird and others don't like that." She sniffled and and wiped a hoof across her nose, able to fight back her tears the rest of the way. "Lyra... Don't beat yourself up so much. Besides, it was just one pony. Somepony I've never seen before at that." Bon Bon wrapped a leg around her friend's shoulders. "Who cares what he says anyway."

"You're right, always are. Can we just get going to that meeting now? I don't want to cause a scene." Lyra gave a halfhearted chuckle, trying to cheer up. "Sure thing, but do you want to clean up a little?"

"No, I'll be fine. Just hand me my blanket." She smiled and stood up, waving a hoof at her dirty sheet. "Don't tell me you are still wanting to go like that, after all it just caused."

"I just want it, I won't be that bad anymore." Lyra took the blanket in her magic, folding it  a few times before wrapping it around her back. She may not be invisible anymore, but at least it could keep protecting her.

The two friends set off a second time, making their way around the town. Lyra's face was still a bit red from the ordeal, with a bit of dirt here and there, but with her friend beside her things were a lot better. "By the way, do you know how to sew at all? I really don't want to have to throw this way, we have been through a lot."

"The blanket? A lot... what? Om, I can't do it, but we will go get it done first thing after this meeting." Lyra let out a slight squee, hugging her friend. Getting the skip in her step back, the unicorn took the lead and bounced the rest of the way. Bon Bon could only rest her face in a hoof, not even trying to catch up with her newly energetic friend.
