Prompt: Lyra hears someone talking about Bon-Bons
Title: Do you like candy? I love candy!
"And when I licked it, I realized it was tasty!" a brown pegasus cheerfully exclaimed, addressing her interlocutor.
Lyra, who was passing by, stopped dead in her tracks. It was going to be a wonderful Hearthswarming Eve. She was going to spend it with the most wonderful mare in Equestria. But now, something struck her. Hard. She slowly turned her head towards the couple.
"Oh yes, I like bon-bons, too! You should've tried it long ago!" a yellow unicorn replied with a smile.
Lyra slowly trotted towards the ponies.
"I beg your pardon?" she asked the brown pony, trying to fake a smile. "I presume you were talking about Bon-Bon?"
"Oh yes, I've just tried it and it felt really good!" the pegasus answered, licking her lips.
"You... said you licked Bon-Bon, didn't you?" the green unicorn carried on, still not believing her ears.
"Oh yes!" the yellow pony interrupted. "Everypony does! In fact, you can get a bon-bon for just half-a-bit at Sugarcube corner. It's delicious! Why don't you try it?" she wondered, looking at the musician innocently.
"You've just... called my marefriend... a prostitute?!" Lyra yelled at the top of her lungs, smoke erupting from her nostrils.
The two ponies started to step back, sharing worried glances.
"NOPONY LICKS BON-BON, FOR BITS OR NOT! ONLY I LICK BON-BON!!" Lyra shouted and, lowering her head so her sharp horn was visible, started running.

"So... what'cha doin' time for?" a white stallion asked, yawning, looking around wearily.
"Candy," a green unicorn replied laconically, staring at her hooves.
"What the..." the stallion began.
"JUST CANDY, OKAY?!"
Silence endured in the prison cell.
A tall policepony appeared before the prisoners.
"You can thank our Mayor and our Princess, criminal scum. Today, on behalf of Her Royal Highness, due to Hearthswarming Eve, you will get bon-bons for dinner. No need to thank me, you dirty criminals," he said disdainfully and left.
Lyra inhaled. No, she definitely wasn't going to express her gratitude.
From the outside of the cell, through a small window, a pleasant smell reached her nose. It was a smell of roast vegetables, hayfries, pancakes, snow and candy.
