//------------------------------// // Celestia's Plan Goes Awry // Story: A Lyra/Bon-Bon Fic // by StormHoof32 //------------------------------// Celestia thought it over as she added the final touches to her plan. She trotted out to her balcony and raised the sun. It was one of the best parts of her job. As soon as the sun was in position, she focused the magic in her horn and summoned a piece of parchment and a quill. She began writing a letter to her niece, Princess Cadence. As soon as the letter was ready, She sent it, smiling as she set her plan in motion. Bon-Bon trotted out of her home and headed to the market, do to the fact that she had eaten all her food in the despair of Lyra leaving her. She finally made it to the market and began checking items off her list as she bought them. After she finished checking all the items off her shopping list, she headed home, put away her groceries, and went about her day, all the while, she thought about Lyra. She missed her more than anything. Please Lyra, Please come back. she thought desperately. Cadence watched her through the window, feeling saddened by the state that this couple was in, and being the princess of love, it was her job to fix it. She cast one of her love spells on Bon-Bon, hoping that it would help. She then left to do the same with Lyra. Bon-Bon stopped dead in her living room, she felt weird, like all the love she held had suddenly pulled her away. She followed the feeling and left her home. As she trotted she came across another, quite beautiful mare. And suddenly, she fell head over hooves for her. She trotted up to her and asked her what her name was. "Uh-uh, I'm uh, I'm Fluttershy." she said as she tried to hide behind her mane. "That's a beautiful name." Bon-Bon replied. She had to ask her, she wanted to know if Fluttershy may want to be hers. "Fluttershy, How do you feel about mare's?" she asked. The question had caught Fluttershy off guard. "Uh, I...uh." was all she could say. Bon-Bon looked at her wanting to giggle. Her shyness was so cute, it made Bon-Bon want her even more. She thought of a way to do this without making it uncomfortable. "Fluttershy, why don't you come over for a bit, we can have lunch, and we can learn a little bit more about eachother." she said, smiling at the shy pegasus. "Um, ok." Fluttershy said, as she hid behind her mane again. ******************************* Lyra walked out of the forest, drying her eyes as she walked. She trotted toward the village as she realized that she had no place to go now. Cadence watched as the Unicorn wandered around. She felt even worse when she saw her than when she did when she saw Bon-Bon. She cast the same spell on Lyra as she did on Bon-Bon. It would both make her feel more passion than before, and it would drive her toward Bon-Bon's direction. What she didn't foresee was a white Unicorn trotting around the corner, just as she left. Lyra suddenly felt more passionate than she had ever felt before. Suddenly, A white Unicorn trotted around the corner and saw the sorry state she was in. "Oh my, Darling you look absolutely dreadful!" she said, an evident note of concern in her voice. Lyra looked at her and suddenly fell completely infatuated with her. She looked her over as she looked up. She saw her amazingly purple mane, curled to almost perfection. The same went for her tail. Her coat was as white as snow, and her eyes were beautiful. "Come with me darling, I'll get you looking fabulous in no time." she said, enthusiastically. "Um, If I may ask, what is your name darling?" she asked as they headed toward the center of Ponyville. "I'm Lyra, Lyra Heartstrings." she responded. "Oh, such a lovely name." the Unicorn said smiling. "What's your name?" Lyra asked. "Oh, me? I'm Rarity darling. Honestly I thought everypony knew me." she said with a little smugness. Finally they made it to what she guessed was Rarity's home. She trotted in after Rarity as she entered the building. She looked around and saw that there were clothing accessories lying about in no specific order. "Rarity, can I ask you something?" she asked, afraid of what the answer might be. "Sure darling." she replied. "Do you like mares?" she asked, blushing. Rarity looked around, suddenly looking very nervous. "Who-Who told you that?" she asked, starting to panic. "Nopony told me, It's just, I like mares, and your just so pretty-" she couldn't finish her sentence, afraid she may have gone too far. "Oh. I see," Rarity replied, "Well I can understand why you would fall for me, I am quite a sight." she smiled blushing. Lyra smiled back as she allowed Rarity to fill the hole in her heart. ************************ Bon-Bon sat there with the Fluttershy, staring at her intensely. She stopped however, as she noticed that her staring was making the yellow pegasus very nervous. "Fluttershy, what would you say if I were to say that I loved you?" she asked. Fluttershy looked shocked by the question. "It...It couldn't be possible, we just met!" she said quietly trying to make herself disappear. "Well it's true." Bon-Bon said smiling. Fluttershy just eeped, as she realized that another mare liked her. "I-I, uh. I have to go. I'm so sorry!" she said as she dashed out of the home. Bon-Bon just smiled, That shyness was cute, but it was getting in the way. She would have to figure out how to draw her out of her shell. Then she decided, she would follow her, and learn all she could about Fluttershy. She smiled slyly as she left her home with her camera. Celestia looked upon this, realizing that her little nudge had pushed the two mares even farther from each other. She started to feel the guilt eating away at her as she watched. Why, Why do I always have to meddle. she thought hopelessly to herself as she left her room to find Cadence.
