Bon Bon just told Lyra about her former identity as Sweetie Drops. Before the wedding began, Lyra seemed to be okay with it, but Bon Bon knew her marefriend better than that. She had hurt Lyra, and she had a lot of explaining to do once they got home.

Now she has to prepare to tell her marefriend the rest of the story as she faces the fear that Lyra may never forgive her.

Yep, it’s another “what happened after the events of ‘Slice of Life’” tale. I wrote this to bring that episode into alignment with my Lyra and Bon Bon Series. If you haven’t read My True Self, then this story isn’t going to mean anything to you.

Bon Bon and Lyra spend the day visiting the tourist attractions at Pony Island in Manehattan. Lyra can’t help but be Lyra.

This story is a standalone entry in my Lyra and Bon Bon Series. Everything in it will make sense even if you haven’t read the other stories.

It’s Bon Bon’s first time in the marketplace as a vendor, selling candy on Hearts and Hooves Day. Rarity stops by to discuss the kinds of sales that she makes on the holiday.

This story takes place during the later events of My True Self. However, reading that story is not a prerequisite for reading this one.

Taking a break from studying for final exams, Bon Bon is treated to a small picnic date by Lyra, leading to a change in their relationship.

And Bon Bon flies.

This is the story of Bon Bon. How she grew up and what she did before she moved to Ponyville.

This is also the story of how Bon Bon met Lyra Heartstrings. And how they quickly became the best of friends.

Bon Bon and Lyra loved being best friends, but they both wished for more. If they only knew how the other truly felt…

This is a prequel to Lyra’s Journey, although you don’t need to read that story to enjoy this one. It largely expands on what little canon we’ve seen for these two characters.

For those who are perusing this story based on the tags: Note that the first three chapters are more accurately categorized as Drama and then Adventure. However, the last seven chapters are Romance/Slice of Life, which is why the story has been labeled as such.

Lyra loves Bon Bon more than anything else in the world. After living together for years, she knows everything about her marefriend. Well, everything except what her estranged parents are really like. Regardless, the one thing that Lyra is certain of is that she and Bon Bon are destined to spend the rest of their lives with each other.

Suddenly, Lyra is forced to deal with the most stressful situation she’s ever experienced. It’s all she can do just to keep herself together.

This is the worst possible week for her to meet Bon Bon’s parents for the first time.

This is a sequel to Lyra’s Journey and My True Self. It’s recommended that you read those two stories first in order to understand what’s going on in this one.

Ponyville. That is where she lived. This is where she has always lived, even as a small filly. Where she grew up, made a life of her own, and where she spends time with her friends. Actually, maybe that is better worded as "only spends time with her best friend." Yes, that is far more accurate seeing who it is pertaining to. This tale centers around our dear background mare, Lyra Heartstrings. Everyone knows how unique Lyra is. However, what do we truly know about how Lyra feels about being different.

To earth ponies, there is little more important than tradition. Foals grow up taught everything from family recipes, songs, dances, to folk tales passed down from generation to generation. Of these traditions, none is more valued than a proposal, an offer to entwine your life with somepony else's.

To Bon Bon, nothing is more important to her than Lyra, and nothing matters more than making sure that her proposal is perfect.

Now, if only perfection wasn't so elusive.

And if only it was as easy to grow flowers as every other earth pony makes it seem.

This story is a sequel to Today, I Marry My Best Friend

It has been one year since Lyra and Bon Bon said "I do."

One year since the happiest day of their lives.

Today is their first anniversary as mare and wife... and it also might be their last.

///////////////////////////////////////

Written on a whim to celebrate the one year anniversary of one of my favorite stories.

Ever since the Bugbear incident in Ponyville, the Super-Secret Anti-Monster Agency re-opened their facilities and welcomed back their fellow agents, including one of their very best, Special Agent Sweetie Drops.

Overtime, the Earth Pony, who took up the name "Bon Bon" many years ago, seems to manage her double life pretty well ever since her re-acceptance. But little did she realize is that her tendency to keep details and whereabouts all to herself is taking its toll on one very important pony in her life as well as the only pony who knows of her secret identity: Lyra Heartstrings. So on one night, when Bon Bon returns from her recent mission and sneaks into their home, Lyra decides to confront this matter once and for all before it drives them apart even further.
