//------------------------------// // Lyra's Love // Story: I Love You Lyra // by Rhonie8k //------------------------------// *Knock Knock* “Bon Bon, I thought I said you don’t have to knock.” The cream colored mare was standing outside the door, smiling to herself before entering. Lyra’s room seemed hallowed recently. Most of her prized possessions that once littered the shelves were all absent as of late. Bon Bon wondered where they had gone for a moment, before looking over to her love. She was still in bed staring at the ceiling. “Lyra, I made breakfast. Would you care to join me?” Bon Bon gave the unicorn pleading eyes. “It would be my honor sweetie.” Was Lyra’s reply. The pair made their way to the kitchen, Bon Bon leading the way. When they arrived at the table the earth pony pulled out her love’s seat and helped her in. “You’re too kind to me. I love you Bon Bon.” The unicorn said looking down at her oatmeal. “I love you two Lyra.” Bon Bon was blushing as she replied. She had dreamed of moments like this since she met the unicorn. It was everything she imagined and more. When breakfast was finished, Bon Bon cleared the table while Lyra read the morning paper. When Bon Bon finished they both made their way to the couch to snuggle. Bon Bon cooed softly as she pressed herself against Lyra. This was bliss. “Oh Lyra, I’ve never been happier. When I’m with you I’m the happiest mare in Equestria.” Bon Bon whispered in the unicorns ear. “Luna I have to thank you again for letting me into your bed. Last night was amazing. Best in my life maybe.” Lyra’s voice called. Bon Bon stood and walked to the window confused. The voice sounded like it came from outside. She pulled the window open and was confused by what she saw. Sitting at the cafe across the street was Lyra and another pony, though familiar, Bon Bon couldn’t recall meeting. She turned back to the couch and Lyra was still there. Lyra’s laugh came from outside. Bon Bon looked outside again, Lyra was sitting and laughing with the other pony. Bon Bon glanced back to the couch, Lyra was still there but she suddenly looked dirty. At the cafe Lyra was getting to demonstrate a dance move or something. Back on the couch Lyra was dull and motionless. Bon Bon was getting dizzy from moving her head back and forth. She ran back to the couch. “Lyra are you okay? You don’t look so good.” Bon Bon's heart was racing, she was panicked. The unicorn just stared blankly back at her. “Speak to me Lyra, please! I’m scared.” The earth mare sobbed fighting back tears. Bon Bon wiped the tears from her eyes and looked at the unicorn. It wasn’t Lyra, just a doll. A plush doll, hoof stitched as an exact replica of Lyra. She made it, but it never left her closet unless Lyra went out of town. Why was it here? Suddenly everything came back to her. Lyra seeing her room. Luna, the princess friend of Lyra’s, retrieving some things for a sleepover; and Bon Bon deciding it was a good chance to play with her toy. “I must have gotten too carried away this time. I need to give you a good scrubbing before Lyra gets back tomorrow. It's a good thing I heard her, or this could have gotten really bad when she came home.” Bon Bon spoke to herself as she carried the doll back to her room. She stopped dead in the hall remembering what Lyra said to Luna. “SHE SLEPT WITH ANOTHER MARE!” Bon Bon was in tears again. The love of her life told another mare she had given her the best night of her life. She always hoped Lyra might tell her that. What would she do now? An idea hit her. She would follow them. She knew they were going to Baltimare today. She would go and ruin their trip, and hopefully break the new couple up. Lyra was hers even if she didn’t know it yet.
