Bon-Bon woke up to a beautiful Saturday morning. Perhaps, everything was going to be a-ok for the cream colored earth pony. She had a fantastic marefriend and a pet seal. Lyra was still sound asleep and snoring. Oh Lyra! Even when she looked her least sexy, she was still sexy. Bon-Bon slowly got out of bed. She hoped that Seamore was alright.
Bon-Bon smiled when she saw that Seamore was sleeping in the basket with pillows she set up for him.
She needed to get seal food for Seamore.
Seals eat fish in their natural habitat. However, Ponyville was certainly not the natural habitat. Meat products were not served anywhere in Ponyville. Thankfully, seals have evolved somewhat with ponies and can eat non-meat products. Bon-Bon would have to experiment and see what Seamore liked to eat.
Bon-Bon put on her 'clothes' and went out to the village square. She knew who would know for sure, Fluttershy.
The earth pony could always research the matter herself on the Internet, but Fluttershy would know what food Seamore specifically liked best while the Internet would only give an idea of what seals generally eat.
Bon-Bon took the walk over to Fluttershy's cottage. She could see that Fluttershy's animal friends were all hanging outside, but no sign of Fluttershy. Bon-Bon knocked softly on the door. Perhaps Fluttershy was still asleep. Bon-Bon didn't want to disturb Fluttershy at all. Suddenly, the door opened. There was a little white rabbit.
"Fluttershy", said Bon-Bon, "is he here?"
The rabbit shook his head. Animals always seemed to understand what ponies had to say. Lyra was wrong about animals not being sentient.
Odd though, Fluttershy wasn't at her cottage. She was always here on Saturday mornings. Did Pinkie do something terrible or was Fluttershy simply out having fun with her friends? Bon-Bon supposed it didn't matter. She would find seal food somewhere. Barnyard Bargains, of course!
Bon-Bon giggled to herself. She felt like she was in a "Barnyard Bargains" commercial. They had every product at a bargain. Bon-Bon walked briskly to the mega department store.
She saw a smiling elderly unicorn mare at the front.
"Hi, welcome to Barnyard Bargains! How can I help you today?"
"Know anything about seal food?"
"We have all sorts of pet food in Aisle 11. A pretty lady such as yourself should have no trouble finding what you need."
"Thanks."
Bon-Bon examined the food in Aisle 11. What would be perfect for Seamore? She wished that she asked the seal what he liked to eat.
Suddenly, Bon-Bon heard a loud gasp.
Pinkie Pie?
"OOH OOH!!! There is no cake for Gummy here! Barnyard Bargains doesn't know what pet food is", shouted Pinkie on the top of her lungs. Cake wasn't for pets, Pinkie was acting awfully stupid.
"Hi Pinkie", said Bon-Bon.
"Hey. I am going to bounce in place right now." Pinkie began doing such.
"Umm, Pinkie. Is everything alright?"
"Why wouldn't it be?"
"You're acting kind of different."
Pinkie gulped and darted out of the store. Bon-Bon guessed that Pinkie wouldn't be buying pet food for Gummy at Barnyard Bargains.
What the hell was up with Pinkie anyway? She was clearly hiding something given her reaction to being told that she was acting "different".
Bon-Bon settled on a big bag of "Kibbles and Bits for Seals". It showed a happy seal on it. She recognized the logo on the top. It was of a pony and a dog. Mr. Trotter, an elderly and kind-hearted stallion, used to own a pet product shop in Ponyville. However, Trotter sold his business to Barnyard Bargains a few years ago. She hoped Barnyard Bargains didn't completely tank the quality of the food. She would find out.
Bon-Bon returned home with the Seal Kibbles and Bits. She saw that Seamore and Lyra were eating cake together and laughing.
Bon-Bon smiled. She supposed cake could be for pets.
"Hey, Lyra and Seamore", said Bon-Bon, "Mommy is home with some delicious food for Seamore."
"Not as good as cake, I bet, right buddy?"
Seamore barked.
"This food is good and nutritious for growing seals."
"And cake isn't?"
Bon-Bon smiled. She hoped that he would at least try the seal food, but he was probably stuffed from too much cake. Bon-Bon would experiment with the kibbles and bits at dinner time.
"Weren't the Ponytones great, Bon-Bon"
"Yes, they were."
"The group must have been extra good last night. They scheduled a performance at Sugarcube Corner tonight, wanna go?"
"Sure. It's not like we have anything better to do, right?"
"Definitely not", said Lyra with a big grin, "I love the Ponytones!
"As much as you love humans?"
"Nah, the Ponytones are somewhere between humans and you in the love department."
Lyra kissed Bon-Bon on the forehead. Anytime Bon-Bon was kissed by Lyra, she felt like she was on cloud nine with happiness.
"Ponytones must be unbelievably and mind-numbingly sexy then", said Bon-Bon returning the kiss to Lyra.
Lyra smiled.
Bon-Bon knew that tonight could be one where she could figure some important things out: whether Noteworthy was going to be there and, if he was, what he would do to Lyra. The other not as important thing was to figure out what was going on with Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie would be harder to reach than Bon-Bon originally anticipated.
Bon-Bon could see that Seamore tore open the bag of Kibbles and Bits and began eating from it. Good, at least Seamore could be fed more than cake in this apartment. Thank Celestia!
Bon-Bon smiled at Seamore and the seal smiled back.
