//------------------------------// // ~Chapter Four: The New World~ // Story: Lyra and Bon Bon's Amazing Adventure // by Snapple Jack //------------------------------// "HEY! I'M WALKING HERE! "YOU TOO BUD!" "YOUR MOM!" "WHAT ABOUT MY MOTHER?!" "SHE'S A SKANK!" "I ODD TO PUT YOU IN THE HOSPITAL!" Those were the sounds the two ponies woke up to. "Ohhh... my head." Lyra said as she rose up. "Tell me about it." Bon Bon replied. "Wh- where are we?" The unicron asked looking around. "Not sure. I'll go check." Bon Bon peeked behind the dumpster her and Lyra slept under. She saw things she never seen before. Flesh colored ponies that walked on two hooves and metal objects zipping by. Of course, Bon Bon didn't know that the flesh colored ponies were humans and the metal objects were cars. "Well, how are you two enjoying it here?" A voice asked. "Discord!" The two ponies said together. Just then a mouse came up behind Lyra. It didn't look like the mice that were eating the garbage. "You didn't answer my question, how do you like it here?" The mouse asked. "It's awfull! Take us home!" Lyra demanded with her hoof motioned into a fist. "I will do no such thing. Besides, I won the game so you HAVE to stay here" "Well it was a very unfair game." "I know, aren't I bad?" "SEND US BACK RIGHT NOW!" "Calm down Bonnie, tell ya what? I'll transport you back when I get bored of you being there." "How do we know this isn't a trick?" "Hmm... smart pony. Fine, I'll take a vow." Discord rose his lion paw to do the vow. "I don't care about your silly little vow! I want to go home! I have a job to do!" "Fine then, don't take my vow. Just stay here forever. See if I care." Discord said jumping off Lyra's shoulder. "Wait! ... Ok ... deal." "Perfect! I love it when we play by my rules. It makes everything go so much smoother for everypony." "Your sick Discord." "Not as sick as you were when you drank my wine eh Lyra?" "Shut up! I didn't have any control over that." "Oh Lyra. Poor poor Lyra. You know you enjoyed my wine. Everypony knows that your worse then Berry Juice when it comes to drinking. But you embrace it. That's what I like about you. You aren't afraid of doing things your own way. But Bon Bon doesn't appreciate your care free ways." "What? No, Bon Bon lets me be myself." "Well, define yourself. The fun Lyra that likes to party, or the Bon Bon Lyra that wants everything to be done right?" Lyra took a long pause to think about this. Maybe Bon Bon was controling. Lyra was, after all, a wild pony at heart. She hasn't partied in years. Was it because of Bon Bon? No, no Discord was just getting to her head. "Leave me alone." Discord shrugged and then vanished into thin air. Days past, and the two ponies started to get hungry. "I'll go find us some food." Lyra suggested "No Lyra! It's dangerous!" "I'll be fine. Don't worry. I'll come back with some food and then will figure a way out of here and back to Ponyville." "But, those... 'things'. What if they see you?" "It's a risk I'm willing to take Bon Bon. I'll be back. I promise." So Lyra went off to find some food for her and her friend. Bon Bon waited, and waited, and waited. It felt like hours had passed by. Bon Bon had no idea where she was or where her best friend was. She's never been so scared as she was that day. She kept thinking about what Lyra said. 'I'll be back, I promise.' That promise ran through her head. She prayed to Celestia that her friend would be ok. "Well Bonnie, I guess Lyra ditched you." A voice echoed. "No she didn't! I know she didn't!" "Aww, poor Bon Bon. Being out here in a stange place with no one to comfort you." Just then, a old stray dog came to Bon Bon. She knew it was Discord. "Go away Discord. I don't want to talk to you right now." "Oh Bonnie..." "Stop calling me Bonnie! It's Bon Bon." "Well then Bon Bon, I guess you don't want this then." Discord snapped his paw and a yellow faded blanket levitated over Bon Bon's head. "My blanket! Where did you get this?!" Bon Bon asked as she grabbbed her blanket. "I found it. I know the history between you and this blanket." "What?" "You use to cuddle with this blanket after your mother would beat you." "How did you know that?" Bon Bon grabbed Discord's dog body by the neck. "Oh Bon Bon, I just know these things." Bon Bon was confused, but she didn't really pay attention to it. She had her blanket. And she felt safe. She snuggled close to it feeling protected. "Well then, I see that we have a deal then." "What? What are you going on about?" "I'm talking about the trade. I give your blanket, while I keep Lyra." Discord snapped his fingers revealing Lyra trapped in a magic bubble. "Lyra!" Bon Bon shouted with happiness. She ran up to the bubble and hugged it with all her might. "Thank Celestia your alright." "I'm fine Bon Bon." Lyra said with a tear in her eye. "So then, we DO have a deal?" Discord asked coming up behind the two friends. Bon Bon froze. It was a tough choice. This blanket had made her feel safe during hard times in her childhood. But Lyra was her best friend in the world. She looked at the blanket, and then at Lyra. Lyra looked back at her best friend with tears in her eyes. Bon Bon bit her lip and made her choice. "This blanket." "Glad we could make a de-" "I'm not finished. This blanket did help me. But no blanket is worth risking my best friend." Bon Bon said as she tossed the blanket to the mud. "Oh Bon Bon!" Lyra said as the bubble popped. She ran to her best friend and gave her a hug. The best friends were back together. Just then, a big shining heart floated above the two. "No... no... NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Discord shouted as he turned to stone from the heart's beautiful ray. The magic of friendship had stopped Discord's evil way for good. And with that, the heart transported the two friends back to their home in Ponyville. "Oh thank Celestia were home!" Bon Bon shouted as she jumped on the couch. "Yeah... hey Bonnie?" "Yes Lyra?" "Thank you, for chosing me over you blanket." "Oh Lyra, your worth more to me then any old blanket." "And, I'm sorry for drinking when we were at the castle." "Hey, I know you didn't do that on propose. Now c'mon, I'll make us some cookies." "Mmmm, with the little choclate chips?" "I think you used all of them on my birthday cake." Bon Bon said with a chuckle. "Oh yeah, I forgot." And the two best friends, lived happily ever after.
