//------------------------------// // Chapter 8.8: Bon-bon's day // Story: Infatuation // by Wheremymaresat //------------------------------// I'm Bon-bon Kyandi. This is how my day went today, in case somepony wanted to know. I woke up, just like any other morning, my recent roommate Harriet was already in the shower as always. She wakes up so early, I sometimes wonder if she ever sleeps at all. I decided that it would be a good day to hang out alone and have Harriet treat herself for a day. 'If I'm lucky, maybe mister Glass would come over with Lyra. I don't really know much about their relationship, and if Harriet weren't here, I wouldn't have to worry about my best friend meeting my roommate. I want to wait until she's all settled in before I do that, introducing her to too many ponies just after she moved could put a lot of stress on her.' I thought. I waited until Harriet was out of the shower and dried off, and I told her that she should go out and buy a dress. I gave her some money, and she grinned. "Thank you, Bon-bon, that's nice of you. I'll pay you back later." She said in her gruff voice. Not quite like a stallion, just a masculine mare. She left and I sat down on the couch with a book. Specifically, "A Fault in Our Moon". By Greenward Johnson. I sat there, happily accepting the peace and quiet. 'I have to admit, I was somewhat sad when Glass left before I could get a chance to talk to him the other day. Harriet hadn't seen anypony leave the house. I think she might've been in the shower. When he left. He's pretty cute actually, Lyra is quite lucky.' I giggled, maybe I was a little jealous. But I'd never get in the way of my best friend's relationship. I was truly happy for her. Harriet walked in again about two hours later, wearing a dress. She changed out of it before coming back to talk to me. "Bon-bon, what do you know about a stallion named Glass Pane?" She asked. She seemed like she was in a mix of anger and happiness. I didn't notice at the time though. "Glass Pane? That's Lyra's coltfriend. I don't really know much about him. He's nice, though. And a bit funny." Hiding my blush as I said such things, I went to pour myself some lemonade from the fridge. "What's Lyra like?" She asked, impatiently. I honestly couldn't think of a reason to deny her any information. I drank some lemonade and then told her about Lyra. "She's a turquoise unicorn, you might've seen her around. She has a white stripe in her mane. She's also my best friend." I said, hoping not to offend Harriet with such a remark. Harriet smiled and nodded.She left a while later. She said she had somepony to meet. When she came back sometime around 5:15 she had tomato juice on her hooves. I asked her where she'd been and she said she got in a fight with the tomato salesmare. she washed up and s few moments later, there was a knock at the door. "Harriet, can you go get that for me?" I said as I stirred dinner. She went to the door and opened it. A few moments later she came back smiling, wiping something from her face. "It was just the tomato salesmare again. She gave us a free tomato to apologies. It's too bad she had me eat it right in front of her to make sure I accepted it." She said. She smirked oddly. "I just hope that this is all resolved now." "It probably is. So, how was my friend Bon-bon's day?"
