Epilogue: Waking Up
Lyra’s POV
All I could feel was warmth surrounding my body as I stirred from my sleep. For the first time in awhile, I didn’t wake up in the middle of the night from a nightmare. It was actually morning this time. I could see the light from the early sun on my eyelids.
Something was different this morning. Something was really strange. The sun has never shown through my window. There was also a familiar but alien smell on my pillow.
I tried to sit upward as to look outside, however I found myself immobilized by something lying over me. I opened my eyes slowly as not to blind myself. Looking down to see what object was restraining me, I blinked getting my tired eyes used to the bright, yet dim surroundings.
It was the limp leg of Bon-Bon draped over me.
I looked to my side to see her body up against mine, sleeping soundly. Her mane was in horrid condition as well as her normally smoothed down coat. I couldn’t help but recognize just how adorable she looked. I had never seen her when she didn’t have her mane and coat brushed before.
While smiling like an idiot at my friend, last night’s events swept back into my mind. I remembered then that she was no longer just a friend. She was definitely more than that to me before yesterday, but now it is officially true. I couldn’t help but continue my smile with increasing happiness. Things like this only belonged in fairy tales. They at least only happened in them.
These amazing moments known as happy endings were most certainly unknown to me. I am quite happy that has changed.
Lying my head back down to be all the more near to the sweet mare I loved, I also inched my body as close as I could manage to the beautiful mare. After finally realizing I was really in Bonny’s room, the sun issue as well as the different scents around the room made more sense. I felt silly after not being able to recognize Bon-Bon’s sweet fragrance.
Closing my eyes, I settled in to the warm embrace that I could not get enough of. Keeping my eyes shut I lifted my muzzle up to where Bon-Bon’s nose rested on the pillow adjacent, planting a small kiss on it.
Replanting myself on my pillow, I felt a pair of lips firmly push into mine. My eyes shot open as I could feel the heat rise to my face while watching Bon-Bon kiss me. After a couple of seconds, she pulled away slightly and whispered to me.
“Sorry, but you missed my mouth.” I couldn’t help but laugh a little.
“Let me try again then.” I quickly rolled over on top of Bon-Bon, effectively pulling her from her drowsy state. I was greeted with a red-faced mare, unwilling to try and free herself from my grasp as I passionately rested my lips on hers. We lay there for a minute or so before rolling back into our original positions.
“Lyra you better not go anywhere without telling me again, alright? You had me so worried.” Noticing a small tear forming in her shimmering eyes, I gave her a reassuring smile.
“I’m not going to be leaving your side for a long time. You also don’t have a say in that matter. I don’t care what you say, Bonny, I am staying with you forever.”
That certainly did the trick as she was laughing with a bright grin on her face. Looking at the clock on her wall, I noticed it was only 8:00 a.m. “What time did we fall asleep?”
“I don’t have a clue, but I do know I need more of it. Does another day off sound good?” I wrapped her in my hooves as I pulled her into my embrace before nuzzling my face into her neck.
“So long as it is spent with you, my beautiful Bonny. Just for today though, you have to keep your mane messy like this.”
