//------------------------------// // Prologue // Story: Sweet Song Part 1 // by Baka-Neku //------------------------------// Sweet Song Prologue BonBon was walking outside the emergency room. On the other side of the door she could hear Lyra scream. She had been screaming for what Bonbon felt like hours, and she sounded like she was in great pain, which she probably was. ‘It should have been me’, she thought; ‘I should have been the one in there not her.’ But she insisted, so there was not really anything BonBon could do. Once she made up her mind, she was impossible to stop. So now she was in there in such pain and BonBon couldn't do a thing besides wait. They had discussed this over some weeks and finally came to the conclusion that they should have a child. They had tried everything, including going to Zecora for advice, only to get the answer that some things are just not meant to be. They had left the hut in the forest and walked towards their house, almost giving up on the idea when Lyra suddenly bumped into a purple unicorn. "Hello there, Lyra and BonBon," Twilight had said happily to her two friends. Then she saw how sad they looked and asked, "What’s wrong?" BonBon explained the entire story to Twilight, explaining how they wanted a way to have a child, one that was their child, and that it seemed to be impossible. Twilight only smiled as the story went on and said, "I might be able to help you with your problem,” with a smirk, "but I’m not sure you will like the idea". They’d listened to what Twilight had said and looked at her in horror, but in the end agreed to do it. When they got home they’d discussed their decision, deciding who should do what. Twilight had a spell that could, for one hour, make one of them to a stallion, making it possible, but she wouldn’t promise the child would be normal; it was a risk they had to consider before doing it. They’d decided to do it, but Lyra had insisted to be the one carrying the child and BonBon couldn't get her to change her mind. It would probably have been best if she, herself, had carried the child, but Lyra wouldn't listen to reason and in the end BonBon had given in and the treatment at Twilight’s library had begun. Now, 12 months after, they were in the hospital. They explained everything to the hospital staff and they agreed to help and make sure the child was born like a normal child. Suddenly the screams stopped and a foal’s cry could be heard, and Nurse Redheart came out of the door smiling to Bonbon. "You can go in now, sweetie; everything went well." She led BonBon into the nursing room where she saw her beloved Lyra in the bed with a foal as mint green as her. "We did it love... we finally did it," Lyra said with a smile as BonBon went over to Lyra and gently hugged her and gave her a kiss. "We did it Lyra!" she said with tears in her eyes and looked at her daughter. "Wait... she has WINGS?" BonBon jumped back in shock. "Yes, I think the magic might have something to do with it," Lyra said and gently gave the foal to her beloved. BonBon gently took her daughter and tears were still falling down in happiness. "What should we call her?" Bonbon asked. "HUMAN!" Lyra said with a big smile. "No, Lyra... just no," BonBon said with a sigh. "How about Sweet Song?" Lyra said suddenly turning all serious. "I mean... your sweet candy and my love for music?" BonBon just smiled and kissed Lyra. "I think it's a lovely idea. Her name is Sweet Song!"
