Chapter 4
( Other side of the story )
Now we take turn back in time to the night before today. To the exact time after the argument between Lyra and Bon-Bon. Where we find a very aggravated Bon-Bon, stomping out of Lyra's bedroom and down the hallway until she reaches her room. She throws herself onto the bed and stares at the ceiling for about three minutes before speaking very hateful about Lyra to her self.
“ OH That Lyra! .. I swear that mares going to be the death of me.... Humans this Humans that. Oh Bon-Bon look, this is exactly how humans sit... ohhhh and this is how they walk too! Oh and Bon-Bon did you know that they did this. Oh and they can do this too! I'M GOING TO GO INSAIN IF I HEAR ONE MORE THING ABOUT THIS NONSENSE!!! ”
After huffing and puffing Bon-Bon started to feel a bit of compassion rise up in her for her friend. She then tilted her head down and gave out a rather large sigh.
“ Oh Lyra..... What am I going to do with you.” She said as she raised her head looking at a picture of the two of them on the wall. She gave a smile and began to reminisce about the times that they had together.
“ …. No matter how hard I try, I just can't seem to remain mad at her. Why is that?..... I will probably never know.” Bon-Bon began to laugh.
“ You know it's not been all that bad. Certainly not as bad as I make it out to be. You know I can remember a time when all this was still fun. Oh when was it? Oh that’s right it was our first day of school, she came in same old Lyra skipping into the classroom with that over dramatic smile she puts on when she has something she really wants to say. She ran right up to me gave me a hug and sat in the seat right beside me. I tried so hard to ignore her smile and the fact that she was nudging me continuously trying to get me to ask what she wanted. If it wasn't for our teacher staring class I just know I would have broke, and then I never would have learned anything. Lyra would have talked all through class, probably leading to us getting in trouble. But luckily I held strong until school was over. We were walking out of school when I finally broke.”
Lyra let out a loud squeal and jumped in front of Bon-Bon, staring her in the face, not glancing anywhere else in hopes that Bon-Bon would finally ask what she wanted to say.
“ Ok Lyra I give up, what is it you want to tell me?” She said with a sigh as she moved her head to look at the ground.
“ Finally I thought you were never going to ask. Anyway I found the out the coolest thing ever you wanna hear about it?” Lyra put back on the smile she had on earlier.
“ Do I have a choice? Bon-Bon asked raising a brow.
“ Nope!” she said grinning very big.
“ I figured... alright let me hear it.”
“ Awesome! Alright check this out, there are creatures that are as intelligent as us maybe more......” Lyra went on explaining humans down to the very last detail. From there appearance all the way down to the way they act.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“You know I don't think I heard half the things she was saying that day. But for some reason what I did hear I believed, and I don't know why I just did. We began to make up games when we were little, and pretend that we found one. Once we went into the Everfree Forrest looking for one, we acted like we were on a safari. Boy was that a mistake we ended up getting lost. And if that wasn't enough we were being followed by timber wolves. I'll never know how we got out of that one. One second we were cornered by the wolves, the next there was a flash of light and we were back on the outskirts of Ponyville. I believe that was they day I decided enough was enough I stopped playing those games with Lyra instead I focused on other things. Now I still hung out with her, but I would not partake in anything that had to do with humans. Lyra seemed to understand what I meant and didn't want to lose me as a friend, so for the most part she stopped. But every now and then she would make up for it and go all out and try to act like them in public again. It's one thing when your little fillies but when your young mares it's just not proper. One doesn't just run around and play pretend once you grow up. I tried to explain that to her but she just wont stop. I think more then being aggravated by this I'm more afraid. She has been my best friend since we were fillies, and I don't want to lose her. I'm scared shes going to draw the wrong attention to herself and end up being admitted to a mental institute. Even though she act's the way she does, she's like a sister to me, I don't want to lose her. I guess that's why I'm so hard on her about this. Maybe it's time I had a talk with her, and I can apologize for how I acted tonight. Good! Alright as soon as we get up I'll ask her if she wants to go out to lunch, and I will talk to her about it then.”
Bon-Bon laid her head back on her pillow, and turned out her lamp.
“ Good night Lyra...”
