//------------------------------// // Ch 28 // Story: When a Door Closes a New One Opens // by coolpony01 //------------------------------// My friends just returned. I am so happy that I finally got to see them. We agreed to meet at McHayBurger, our favorite fast food restaurant. They smiled when they saw me and I could see that they brought Bon Bon along. I am really happy I finally got to meet her.  “Hey girls.” I said happily at the thought of seeing them. “Hey Twi, it's been so long. How have you been?” Vinyl asked. “Oh I’ve been great just well I’ve made so many friends in Ponyville and so has Spike.” I said in gratitude for the friends I’ve made. “Oh that’s great so Pinkie Pie is the best at parties.” Vinyl said. “I’ve become friends with her.” I said excitedly. “Oh you have well, maybe we can all celebrate my next birthday together.” Vinyl said. “I would love that.” I said. “Yeah Pinkie Pie really is the best at throwing parties.” Octavia said. “Very true she was so nice when we first moved to Ponyville.” Lyra said. “Yeah Pinkie’s pretty nice enough to me and we’re competition.” Bon Bon said. “Well it’s nice to meet you Bon Bon tell me about yourself.” I asked. “Well my favorite movie is Edward Scissor Hooves and I love modern music as well as jazz because of my grandmother.” Bon Bon said. “My grandma loved jazz and got me interested in so many songs too.” I said. “Well what do you know it really is a small world.” Bon Bon said with a smile. “So how have you all been doing?” I asked. “I’ve been doing just wonderful doing many performances all over Canterlot. I even got into the Canterlot elite and will be performing at the Grand Galloping Gala.” Octavia said pleasantly. “That’s… very impressive. I can't wait to see you at the gala. I’ve been going every year and I happened to quite enjoy it.” I said in pleasant thought at the idea my friend is going to be attending. “Yes it is good enough about me, how have you girls been doing?” Octavia addressed our friends. “Well I’ve been getting into Canterlot as well. I even just got a gig at the Canterlot Corner.” Lyra said. “The Canterlot Corner.” I said in delight. “Only the most possible classical musicians get there; you must have become very well known throughout all of Equestria.” I said I was impressed. “Indeed I have but let’s not forget about Vinyl she too is becoming very well known.” Lyra said. “Yeah not the Canterlot elite they suck and only like classical music but I’ve been able to get the much of the working class and even some of the wealthier families. I preform all over Fillydephia, Vanhover, even places like Manehattean as well as Canterlot.” Vinyl said. “That’s very impressive and I’ve listened to your music and I love it. The songs just flow so well especially songs like electric swang.” I said. “Yeah I’ve written plenty of banger hits,” Vinyl said in confidence.  She then got out of her ego. “So how was it after we left?” She asked a bit concern. I let out a sigh. “I won’t lie it hasn’t been easy your parents didn’t make it easy since they always said bad things about me every time I tried to make a friend they all very… influenteial after all…”  “Those bastards.” Vinly yelled. “Vinyl let her finish please.” Octavia said in polite annoyance. “It’s alright they really did suck but it’s also been difficult for Spike all his friends moved when they created those Consevrtaive lessons that seem to leave out non ponies and that made him feel under appreciated.” I said. “Oh the poor dear I’m so sorry.” Octavia said with concern as her usual caring and kind nature.  “It’s alright he’s made so many friends here like Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo.” I said happily at the fact that my son is doing so well know. “Well I bet the absence of those lessons helped.” Octavia said. “Oh they did those lessons were just messed up.” I said. “Indeed they were I mean who cares if non ponies wanna celebrate Hearth Warming it’s  aholiday of love and fun and so it should be open for everyone.” Vinyl said annoyed. “Yeah I have to agree. I mean Spike always loves Hearth Warming. Why would I take that away from him just because he’s not a pony?” I said in confusion at the supposed logic of  denying non-ponies the right to celebrate holidays like that one. “Very true I mean I’ve seen Donkey’s and Griffons celebrate Hearts Warming they have such wonderful traditions of their own.” Octavia said in appreciation for the culture of other species. “Very true I personally loved eating the ham that has been a tradition amongst griffons on Hearts Warming.” I said in appreciation for their culture’s love of meat. “Yeah I’ve even heard that some ponies eat meat. I get it I mean meat must be tasty.” Vinyl said. “Oh it is but it’s just a choice.” I said. “Yeah it don’t matter that you eat meat. You’re a wonderful pony either way.” Lyra said. “Yeah I mean I sometimes mix eggs with my ingredients I like being creative and I won’t lie it makes the desserts taste the more delicious.” Bon Bon added on. “Oh I bet.” I said thinking of the idea of my old culture’s delicacies when it comes to desserts with eggs being mixed in the batter. “Well I’m starving how about we order something.” Bon Bon added on. We then talked wonderfully while we ate discussing all the good and the bad that’s occurred over the last few years and I’m personally proud of all the accomplishments that have occurred.
