Chapter 2: The Next Day

It's morning, you hear the birds chirp from outside the window. You slowly wake up, from your silent slumber. "Man, that was the best sleep I ever had." You said stretching your hooves. You slowly get out of bed and walk out of the room. Going down the hallway you smell somthing pleasant. You enter the kitchen, seeing Lyra cooking eggs, and pancakes.

"Hm, oh your finally up." She says with a smile on her face. "How'd you sleep?" She asks.

"Best I've slept in years." You answered her.

"I'm glad you slept well." She smiles, using her magic to flip the eggs and pancakes with a spatula. "Their almost done just another minute." Lyra tells you. "Go and sit at the table over there I'll bring them over.

You go sit at the table. "Can't wait to dig in." You said almost drooling over the breakfast she made.

"Their done!" She chimes, as she puts the food on two plates with the even amount of ehgs and pancakes on them. "Here you go." She places the plate in front of you.

You somehow pick up the fork and you start eating the food. Lyra using her magic to pick the fork up, starts eating as well. After breakfast Lyra asked you if you would like to help her get some groceries from the farmer's market. Of course you agreed, and you two set off with saddle bags on your backs.

**************

You and Lyra has been at the market for awhile and got pretty much everything you need. Then, you run in to Bon-Bon

"Oh hey. Bon-Bon." Lyra said nervously.

"Hey, Lyra." She says with a scowl on her face. "Who's this?" She asks in a somewhat menacing tone.

"This is, *put name here*." Lyra introduces you.

"Hm, hello *put name here*. I'm, Bon-Bon. Lyra's old roommate." She said.

"Her old roommate?" You asked.

"Yes, me and her had a thing for awhile, unt..." Interrupt by Lyra.

"Bon-Bon that was in the past let it go!" Lyra said almost yelling in anger.

"Hmph." She leaves in obvious frustration.

As she leaves you asked, Lyra what was that all about. She just tells you nothing to worry about. You just agree with her and start walking along side her again. You and her start to get hot and a little sweaty under the heat of the sun.

"Oh my Celestia, it's hot today." Lyra said with sweat beating off her. "Maybe we should go to the pond in the park? It's near by here." She suggested.

"Yeah, sure." You agreed with her. "What about the groceries?" You asked.

"We'll just leave them in the shade, underneath the tree." She said. "Which is right next to the pond." She also added.

"Okay." You smile as you and her set the saddle bags underneath the tree.

"Last one in is a rotten egg!" Lyra said out loud, jumping into the pond.

"Hey!" You said playfully, jumping in after her.

You and Lyra starts splashing each other. Swimming around the pond, to cool off in the intense heat. Out of sight, Bon-Bon was spying on you and Lyra behind a bush.

"Okay, *place name here* let's see why Lyra is so interested in you." Bon-Bon says to herself quietly. As she watches you and Lyra with binoculars. She hears a voice behind her.

"What are you doing, Bon-Bon?" The voice ask as Bon-Bon jumps in surprise.

She turns around to see, Twilight Sparkle. "Oh, Twilight. Um, nothing..." She says trying to act causal. "Just watching for birds." Hoping, Twilight believes her.

"Why would you be hiding in a bush to bird watch?" Twilight asked suspecting something is up.

"Um.... I was trying not to scare them." She darts her eyes left and right.

Twilight didn't believe her. "Bon-Bon what's going on?" She asked wanting a real answer.

"Okay, Twilight you got me." Bon-Bon said looking to the ground. "I was spying on Lyra and the new colt." She said in sad like voice.

"What ever for?" Twilight asked.

"I don't trust that colt, just how he came out of nowhere. That's to suspicious." Bon-Bon answered her question.

"I think you're just jealous of him." Twilight exclaimed. "Besides aren't you and Lyra done for, after she told you that she isn't a lesmare?" She added.

"Yeah, Twilight I guess your right maybe it's just me. Maybe, I am just jealous." Bon-Bon agreed with Twilight's statement.

"I'm glad you see it my way." Twilight said happily. "Now if you excuse me, I have to get home."

As, Twilight left, Bon-Bon went back to spying on you and Lyra. But, you both left about five minutes ago. "Huh? Where they go?" Bon-Bon said in confusion.

**************

Later, you and Lyra make it back to home cooled off and with saddle bags full of food. Lyra tells you to set the food on the counter, in the kitchen. "Go on and relax, *place name here*. I'll get dinner started." Lyra said happily.

"Okay, Lyra." You responded relaxing on the couch. Today being your second day being in Ponyville, you are actually enjoying being a pony more than a human. You start thinking to yourself again. "I can't believe that I'm enjoying being a pony. It is so much more easier than being a human, not to mention relaxing as well." You continue to think to yourself, until Lyra walks in the living room.

"Dinners ready, *put name here*." She chimed as she walks to the dinner table. Where she placed the just cooked food.

After the delicious dinner, Lyra recommended the both of you watch a movie. Being the polite per-pony you are you agree to her offer. "What kind of movie?" You asked.

"Hm, do you want watch a romantic class?" Lyra suggested.

"Yeah, sure." You said, even though your not all into romantic movies. But, still she is your friend, and she is letting you live with her too.

So, she puts a movie in the DVD player, and it starts. Half way through it starts to get real romantic in the movie, and Lyra is scouching a bit closer to you. You tend to ignore it, thinking she was trying to get a bit more comfortable. Until she leans her head on your shoulder.

"Um, Lyra what are you doing?" You asked in a curious voice.

"Hm, I'm just laying my head on your shoulder." She responds to your question. "A-Are you okay with that?" She asks nervously.

"Yeah it's fine, Lyra." She become relieves as you said that.

She talks to herself in her head. "That was a close one, Lyra. You don't want to blow your chances." She quickly looks at you, smiles and looks back at the movie. "I hope he doesn't feel uncomfortable." She continues to talk to herself in her head.

As she does, you are talking to yourself in you head as well. "Lyra, seems to be a little clingy but, she is who she is. Can't change that.

After the movie you both are tired after a long day. You two walk down the hall side by side. You thank, Lyra for the dinner and to her surprise you kiss her on the cheek and said "The movie wasn't that bad."

"Yeah, glad you liked it." She says trying to hold back from happily screaming.

You told her good night and entered your room. As you do Lyra goes into her room quickly, and "Eeeeeeee!" She screeches silently so you couldn't hear her. She jumps in her bed gets her diary, from underneath her pillow and picks up a quill using her magic.

Dear, Diary.

Today was the most amazing day. Me and *put name here* went to the market. We ran in to Bon-Bon very frustrating. But, any who it was really hot out. So, we put the saddle bags of food underneath a tree near the pond, and cool off in the refreshing water. Then, we got home and I made dinner and then we watched a romantic movie. I almost made things a little awkward but, it was all worth it because after the movie we walk down the hall together and he kissed me on the cheek. I about blew up in happiness. Oh, I can't wait for what happens next!

As happy as can be,
Lyra Heartstrings.
