//------------------------------// // Beetroot PMs // Story: Equestrian Fanfiction // by Lise //------------------------------// Bonny, I can't take it anymore! I thought that getting my degree would be the end of it and I could leave Canterlot for good, but no! The Windigo event got my mother all worried. Not that it matters that I wasn’t anywhere near Ponyville when it happened! It's as if out latest talks didn't take place! Am I going insane? You have no idea how badly I need a few buckets of cider right now. If it weren't for the foals I'd probably be drinking myself to oblivion in some bar. That of some salt. LyraHands I take it things are going pretty much as usual then? Bob … I love you. :) Sorry, I've really had it this time. A few months ago my mother wouldn't even look at me and now… it's horrible to say but I honestly think I've become the equivalent old a present: she's waiting for me to pop open so she could take what's inside and never have to deal with me again. She's already suggested that I return to Canterlot. Apparently, she and dad are willing to “buy me a small house” in a nice area on the outskirts. Knowing her taste I'm sure it's nice, but really? I was chased out of home a while back and now that I'm pregnant I'm suddenly valuable again?! LyraHands Hey, you've been through a lot. Not to mention that your chemistry is all wobbly now. Mold swings are to be expected, remember? In your case maybe more since this is an…unusual case. :) I’m sure your parents love you in their own way. I know your father does. We’re still keeping a regular correspondence. He didn't mention anything about the house, so I think it's your mother’s idea. By the way, and this is entirely not related, I think you should spend some more time in Canterlot. Get your diplomas, see some old friends. Try to humor your parents for a week or two. Simile mentioned she'll be passing by to see her Princess. Maybe have a chat with her. Oh, and you can always spend slime time with Bellucio. :) Bob I hate it when you do that! :/ LyraHands Do what? Be overly positive? Sorry, guess you lucked out. I’m always positive when you are concerned. Things will work out fine, you’ll see. Actually, they already have. You just have to deal with a few minor annoyances until then. Nothing major :) Bob You know something, don't you… something is going to happen in Ponyville, isn't it? LyraHands You know I can't talk about work, Lyra. I still think you should spend a few more weeks there. Do that for me and I promise you the greatest gift after InItForTheShipping’s. ;) Bob You are the greatest gift. *kisses* Just tell me you'll be fine, okay? LyraHands I'll try to be. Promise. Bob … LyraHands So, what's the gift? LyraHands Well, I'm not supposed to say this, but remember when I mentioned a honeymoon on Danny’s Earth? :) Must think what it would be like being able to walk about and see all the characters of the series! We can go to a photo shoot of Bellucio, or hang out with Omni, or go somewhere with the Williams’. I promise I'll treat you to all the human food you want! Bob I hope that's not a hint I'm fat! -.- Just joking. :) Such a gift would be wonderful, yet we both know it can't happen. Unless… LyraHands You talked to the changeling Nightlings, didn't you? Bonny, I can't believe you'd do this! It's both incredibly sweet and incredibly embarrassing at the same time. How many did you get? Please tell me you didn't ask Thorax’ entire hive. The sweetie he is he'd probably agree. LyraHands No cost is too huge for my minty goodness O:) Just get through this and I'll be sure to amaze you. And don't be too mad at your parents. I've told you this before: you are your own mare. Their decisions cannot affect you. Hear them out, nod, then speak your heart without being rude about it. If you don't want to do something you don't have to. And don't be afraid to go to the hospital if you feel faint or dizzy. Bob Well, glad to know there's something you and my mother can agree on :/ She's been going on and on that I need to have a checkup. Mare, I just had one! How many more go I need? Seriously! Maybe I'll tell her just to see her make a sour face. The way she’s been systematically avoiding you, I can tell her opinion of you hasn't improved much. At least now from time to time she mentions my “partner” when asking about my life in Ponyville. LyraHands Nothing wrong with that. I call her your mother :P Bob How are things there? I know you can't say anything, but are you and everypony else well? I don't need to know the whys and whats, but that I must know. LyraHands I think so. Definitely maybe. Just don't worry your pretty head, okay? I'll come see you as much as I could :) Sometimes I might even be in disguise. For all you know I'm next to you right now! Bob If you are you've put on a lot of weight. And that mustache really must go. Definitely! :P LyraHands You made a joke :) I like you when you make jokes. Feeling a bit better now? Bob No…but at least I know you're never for me. I better go. I told my parents I was going shopping and that was an hour ago. LyraHands Better buy some beetroot. Bob Huh? What do I need beetroot for? LyraHands That's exactly what your parents will ask when you go home. ;) Bob I love you :) LyraHands I know. Just hang in there a bit more. Thing how thrilling it will be to show the goals to Danny and vice versa :) Bob Pfft! Bye! I'm off to buy beetroot. LyraHands
