//------------------------------// // 3. The Homework // Story: Lyra and Bon Bon's Boyfriend // by tybeeislandguy //------------------------------// "So Lyra, what period in history are we studying?", I asked as my mom and Mr. Heartstring left. "It was about the Greek resistance in WW2." I am a little familiar with that. We went over the facts. We learned about the various resistance movements like EAM, EKKA, etc. We also studied the occupiers; Germany, Italy (the italian part of greece became german occupied after Italy's surrender), and Bulgaria. And then the end of the Axis occupation when Bulgaria and Germany pulled out because of concern elsewhere. The Dodecanese Islands and parts of Crete remained occupied until the end of the war in Europe. Lyra stretched her arms and yawned, "Wow, there's a lot to know on his subject! I'm pretty sure I understand what I need to know to pass the quiz though." "You did great Lyra, I'm so proud of you!", beamed Bon Bon. She than hugged Lyra. They are so right for each other. I wish I could have a relationship like that. Without thinking, I blurted out, "You two are really cute together." That was stupid, now they're going to think I'm a creep or something! I'm such an idiot! Instead of being disguted however, they just smiled. Bon Bon patted the right side of her hair and said, "well, I try my best to be attractive, it's nice to know I suceeded. Lyra looked at me and said, "That's such a sweet thing to say, Henry" Thank goodness they're not offended, the last thing I want is to be thrown in jail like Bill Cosby. Well, time to ask the big question; "I know that dates are usually between only two people, but I was hoping that all three of us would go on a date sometime." Lyra got excited, "Yeah, that's sounds good. How about you; Bon Bon, we could take Henry to our lunch at the diner we go to every saturday?" Bon Bon nodded, "That would be great. She then wrote the address down on a sheet of paper for me. "Plus we got Pinkie Pie as a waitress there." Lyra responded, "What does that have to do with anything?" Bon Bon responded, " I like having one of the rainbooms around, in case of a magical attack." Lyra was putting her tetbooks away. "Oh yeah, good call. Hey, while we're waiting for elders to finish watching tv, I could play my harp for the both of you. I'll be right back, I just need to get to my room and back." Lyra ran upstairs. Bon-Bon looked at me, "I'm glad you came along, Lyra was feeling insecure about her looks. You calling her cute really made her happy." That took me by surprise, "She's insecure? That's crazy, she's one of the nicest, pretty girls I've ever met." Some lime green hands than grabbed me and spun me around. In front of me was Lyra, harp by her feet, who then kissed me on my lips. After the kiss was over, she said, "You're the most gallant, handsome boy I've ever met." Bon-Bon joined in the hug. Lyra giggled, then said, "And you are the most caring, lovely girl I know." Me and Bon Bon than listened to Lyra's harp performance. It was really good. After the performance was over, Bon Bon said, " We may not have won the rainbow rocks contest, but you'll always be a winner to me." Lyra smiled, "I'm only a winner because of the support of some wonderful people." She than went upstairs to put her harp away. Bon Bon looked at me. "Hey Henry, you want me to bake you some candy?" "You're into baking?" "Yeah! Why do you think my name is Bon Bon? "Where your parents psychic when they named you? "It was probably just a lucky guess on their part." "What are you planning on baking?" "Chocolate Bon Bon Candy" "That sounds good, I would love some." "Great!" Bon Bon immediately went to the kitchen. Lyra then came downstairs. "Where did Bon Bon go?" "She went into the kitchen to make chocolate bon bons" Lyra go a big smile on her face. "I love those candies." Pretty soon, candy smells were coming out of the kitchen. My mom and Mr. Heartstrings came in from the tv room as well. We all sat and waited for Bon Bon to finish her cooking. "Bon Bon is a good cook," Mr. Heartstrings said, "Bon Bon stays for sleepovers so much she just decided to keep some of her cooking supplies here as well as her own home." Bon Bon than bought out her candy and we all dug in. They were very good. Bon Bon then whispered to me, "These are for calling me cute, no one compliments me without getting a reward." We then smiled at each other. I looked at my mom, "was there anything good on tv?" After swallowing the candy, my mother said, "We just watched the news. It's the usual reporters and president getting mad at each other." I replied, "Are you talking Donald Trump?" "No, It was the president of Post Chemicals." I got to my fourth Bon Bon candy when I decided it would be the last for the night. I want to look good for my new girlfriends, after all. My mom proclaimed, "this was a wonderful time, but It's time for me and Henry to go home." It's a shame to leave, I had such a nice time here. But then again, there's always the future, with many more encounters to come. My mom got up and walked to the car. I then walked outside, followed by Lyra and Bon Bon. Bon Bon hugged Lyra and me. She then said, "It's time for me to go home as well." She then let us go. I then walked to the car. I heard then say, "Goodnight, new boyfriend." "Goodnight, ladies." I got in the car. My mom got excited. "Did they say boyfriend?" "Yes, Mom," I said as I felt my blushing return, "We are going to a diner on saurday." "That's Wonderful!" We than drove home.
