Something Tugging At Your Heartstrings...

You walk downstairs to hear Lyra in the kitchen "Lyra, would you like some help?" you step into the kitchen to see three places set at the table, "is Bon-Bon joining us?" she nods and continues to fix a salad "wow, fancy, what's the occasion?" she stands up and nudges you "like you don't know..." you blush and rub her mane, "Lyra...are you sure, you and me...I mean, Bon-Bon may think it's kinda, no, completely and utterly weird" she levitates three glasses to the table "why do you think I want to tell her" you chuckle and take a seat "it does look fantastic, by the way"

As you place your napkin in your lap (trying to be a fancy as you can) you hear a knock and Bon-Bon joins you at the table "hiya" you smile and Lyra places the salad in front of you "do you have any dressings?" she levitates a small container of salad dressing "thank you"

Bon-Bon dives into her salad "oh my, this is incredible, Lyra, I didn't know that you could cook like this" she licks her lips "so...what happened, who died, or who's getting married?" she joked, you and Lyra smile "well...the thing is...haha" you rub the back of your head and begin to eat your salad...

One Simple Explanation and Hours of Laughter Later:

"I can't believe it, I thought it was weird when Rarity fell for that rock!!" she took a deep breath and tried to gather her composure, "I am sorry, really, I am happy you found each other, really I am, I thought there may have been something, but..." she busted out laughing again, "o-oh Cel-Celestia...!"

Lyra and you start to smile at each other as Bon-Bon finishes up her latest laughing fit "so...would kind of entree did you make?"

...

After dinner, you and Lyra sat down in front of the fireplace, not warming up, just enjoying each other's company

"Lyra, if I was a pony, who you still feel this way...?" she nudges you playfully "of course, I would miss the thumbs, but..." you both laugh "but in all seriousness, I want you, whether you be human, pony or even rock" you chuckle again, meeting her eyes "I wish I could live here with you...just, not in hiding...I would want to be the 'stallion' that you would be happy to show around town" she smiles "you would make all the other mares jealous and full of envy" you kiss her cheek, the awkward feelings drowned by the feelings for this lime-colored mare...

she feels her cheek "I would love that more than anything..." you think of what life you left behind...and of the superior life you are and could be living...

"Twilight, I mean, she is the student to Princess Celestia, right?" she nods, her head comfortable on your chest "well, and I am just thinking, what if there was some sort of cloaking or...species change spell?" Lyra stared up "I suppose, magic, even after thousands of year isn't truly understood, it may be possible" you smile "if it's possible...maybe, I could be the stallion of your dreams, someone you don't just have to hide..." you cover your mouth "I mean, I know that..." Lyra silences you with a kiss on the lips "I know what you mean...tomorrow, I will bring it up to her" you try to stretch yourself out and begin to rub Lyra's mane, feeling more serene and happier than you have in a long time...although, out of all the burning questions still at the back of your mind, one stands out from the rest..."How did Lyra come to know about humans in the first place...?"
