The two mares had begun to walk back home slowly after their stomachs were filled with delicious food. Lyra almost smiling with fulfillment and glee the entire time. 
“This was really an awesome night Bonbon!”
Bonbon nodded.
“I know Lyra. It’s an awesome night.” She giggled slightly.
A little while after they reached the outskirts of Ponyville did Lyra notice that they went the wrong way .
“I think we are walking wrong Bonnie,” She said in confusion. “Didn’t we already walk to far?”
Bonbon smiled lightly.
“We did. I just wanted to make this night more special by watching the moon and stars on the hill like we used to do a lot when we were younger, remember?” She said happily.
Lyra nodded and her eyes filled with joy.
“Now that were good times! Remember when we saw those rabbits?” She exclaimed in joy.
“I don’t even know if I want to remember that, Lyra.” Bonbon said in unamused voice.
Lyra giggled and quickly kissed Bonbons cheek.
“Of course you don’t ! I wouldn’t either if I sprained my leg because of it.” Lyra said to her .
Bonbon groaned.
“Can you please let that subject fall right now? I don’t like being remembered to that particular incident.”
The two had reached the top of the hill now and both of them  laid down on the grass and looked at the moon.
Both of them relaxed and watched the clouds go by in the tranquil night sky.

The little filly named Applebloom wasn’t quite sleepy yet when her big sister told her to go to bed.
She had spent an hour lying in bed just wondering whatever that howl could have been .
Finally curiosity got the better of her and she slowly climbed out of the window after making sure her sister wouldn’t come upstairs to check on her.
She let herself fall into the pile of hay that was conveniently placed outside her window, and walked towards the orchard and her treehouse.
She opened the doors from her treehouse and entered it .
Everything in there belonged to her and the other Crusaders, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo.
For example, the helmet from Scootaloo  laid in there, but also useful stuff, like flashlights.
The filly grabbed one of the flashlights and exited the treehouse.
“Let’s see  if  I can catch a glimpse of the mysterious animal.” She whispered to herself.
She began to walk to the edge of the orchard, armed with nothing more than her flashlight and knowledge.
She didn’t hear a howl anymore, but she knew the animal had to be close by.
Nearing the edge of the orchard, she suddenly heard a soft breathing somewhere close.
Without hesitation she slowly sneaked to the sound and peeked from behind a tree to the place where the sounds came from.
Only to notice nothing was there.
The filly sighed in relief and turned around.
There stood her big sister with an unamused look on her face.
“Didn’t I tell a certain little pony that she had to go to bed?” She asked the filly.
Applebloom nodded.
“I’m sorry sis! But I was just so curious about what that howling thing could be.”
Applejack shook her head.
“Applebloom, don’t ever do something this stupid again! What if that howl came from one of those dangerous animals like for example a cockatrice? That is too dangerous for  fillies of your age, even for my age! So Promise me here and now you will never do this again!”
Her little sister nodded.
“I promise.” She exclaimed, embarrassed by getting caught like this, now she would never earn her ninja cutiemark.
“Good, now go right back to bed missy!” Applejack commanded.
The little filly grumbled but did as she was told, she wouldn’t want to be punished, and certainly not by Applejack. 

“Say Bonbon? Why did you really brought me here? I mean the dinner, the walking along the lake, even this here! Usually when we do these sort of fun things it means you have to tell me something has happened, like that time when you told me that you received mail that I wasn’t chosen to play for the grand galloping gala!” Lyra exclaimed suddenly.
Bonbon sighed.
“You know that I love you right?”
Lyra raised her eyebrows.
“Of course I know that! I love you too!"
Lyra hugged her marefriend tightly.
Bonbon smiled.
“Thanks Lyra, I needed that.”
Lyra blushed a bit and giggled.
“Anytime Bonnie!” She smiled to Bonbon and let go of the hug.
Suddenly Lyra caught something moving in the corners of her eyes, it were  a few bushes next to the hill.
“Wait here Bonbon! I’m going to check out that bush! Something’s not right there.” She exclaimed.
Bonbon nodded and smiled at Lyra , who already walked towards the bush.
“Be careful! You never know what could be in there, maybe even a squirrel!” Bonbon stated jokingly.
Lyra giggled and stopped before the bush, which seemed to shake softly in the wind.
Her hoof slowly touched the leaves and pushed some of them aside.
She jerked her hoof back when she felt something sliding against it, something with fur.
To her relief did the head of a little rabbit show itself soon after her hoof touched it’s fur.
She turned back to Bonbon in relief.
“Bonbon everything’s fine here! It was just a …” Her voice trailed off as the mare could only stare with wide open eyes to the hill where her marefriend sat a few seconds ago.
