Lyra was annoyed; she didn't know that the 'Hearts Desire' would be 50 bits. But she needed the ‘Hearts Desire’, it had the exact right number of petals, and looked in perfect condition for the final piece of the needed items the spell required. She bit the bridal, “Fine just give the damn flower,” Lyra said as she passed 50 bits to Daisy. “Thanks so much Lyra, I've been trying to get rid of this blasted thing for over a month,” The light cream pony stated, a smile on her lips. “Yeah, yeah.” Lyra grunted, this was starting to get tiresome. 'I mean, it's not like it's anything new. For the love of Celestia, it's over five hundred years old.' Lyra hated this, why did everypony have to know. It should have been just between her and Bon-Bon, an announcement was meant for later. 'Damn that Pinkie Pie,' Lyra thought evilly, 'And damn her pinky sense, too'. It was as Lyra internally monologged that Daisy opened her mouth and asked the one question everypony knew the answer to, but still had to ask. “So... When's the spell taking place?” Daisy tried to ask innocently, failing spectacularly. “Oh, I didn't realize it was any of your concern, Daisy,” Lyra replied bluntly, fed up with everypony’s questions. 'Oh, I didn't realize fillyfoolers were allowed to do that?' Or ' Well I hope it works'. They were always either derogative or skeptical. Every. Single. One. She quickly turned her tail on Daisy, truly fed up with most of the ponies in Ponyville, and headed home, leaving Daisy looking awkwardly down at the ground after her scalding. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bon-Bon was excited, in fact she was downright ecstatic. Today was the day, today was the day one of her longest held dreams came true. She quickly looked around her, everything seemed to be in order. The moon rocks were next to the diamonds, which in turn were next to the pomegranate. All that was missing was the ‘Hearts Desire’ and Lyra. 'And then I'll be a....' It was too exciting to think about. Then suddenly, like there was a change in the wind, she was nervous. What if she wasn't good enough? What if she failed? What if it wasn't possible? She started to freak out, but then remembered that she wasn't the only pony involved in this; Lyra was too. Once again she was calm, the very thought of her love calming her. Lyra was almost everything to Bon-Bon. She ate, slept and thought Lyra. How she loved that mare, how she had wished to do this journey with her. She was ready, she was strong. And even if it hurt-even if the spell didn't work, she still had Lyra. She still had the thing that was most precious to her. It was at this exact moment, that her love decided to slam open the door to their house. “Agh I'm sooo sick of these ponies and their stupid questions. I mean really, why else would I have hearts desire in my mouth if I did need it. I swear.... Oh you’re home.” Lyra said as she noticed Bon-Bon. She loved Bon-Bon, loved her more than all the bonbons in the world ( her not-so-secret vice). “Did you get it?” asked Bon-Bon excitedly. “Yep, but I swear that Daisy had been sniffing too many flowers lately, I mean 50 bits for one flower. Dear princesses that’s expensive,” Lyra said before she was engaged in a bone breaking hug from Bon-bon, and her lips sealed to fight with the same mares own. Their kiss was passionate, a strange dance of lips and tongue, as the two parts of the mouth clashed and squalled with each other over who was more intense. Lyra slightly registered her horn closing the door as she continued to kiss her wife. Bon-Bon slowly backed up, leading Lyra to the bedroom. Lyra realized what Bon-Bon was doing and broke the kiss. “Bonnie, you know we can't,” Lyra spoke, face to face, slightly panting at the taste of her beloved. “But why?” the aforementioned Bonnie pouted. “Because as I've already said, the spell says we have to have absolutely no lust in our veins when we perform the spell.” “Aww but I want you, I need you!” said Bon-Bon longingly. “I know, I know. This isn't easy for me either. Not loving you for a month has been one of the toughest things ever, and besides we’ll have plenty of time as soon as the spell is cast.” “I can't wait!” Bon-bon said as the excitement returned to her words. Lyra knew how badly Bonnie wanted this, how she had wanted this since she was a filly. Although the idea of what they were doing excited Lyra, it also filled her with interpretation, what if it didn’t work? What would they do? They would carry on, that’s they would do assured herself, they would carry on their lives as before. Lyra slowly went over to the allocated spot in the circle on the floor and placed the 'Hearts Desire' down, making sure it was facing south, and went over to the open book on the kitchen counter. “Ly-Ly you know it's ready?” Bon-Bon said as she came over to where Lyra was and gently nuzzled her. Lyra gently nuzzled back. Bonnie was right, the spell was ready. She once again read over the spell, trying to remember every single line of instructions. “Okay, let’s do this, but remember there might be some pain, and it might not work” “I know, but even if it doesn't work, I still have you,” Bon-Bon replied as she walked over to the north side of the circle. Lyra walked over to the opposite south side and tapped into her source of magic. The spell wasn't hard, in fact it was one of the easiest, and it didn't require a lot of magic as complex spells usually did. But it was just that, complex and unlike most complex or difficult, or even ordinary spells, required items: Diamonds for ever lasting feelings, moon stones for the flow of tides and the menstrual cycle, pomegranate for the heat of the heart, Hearts Desire for the desire of both parties and the most important item, Love. Love was what made this spell so difficult, there had to be an unending and unrelenting amount of it, and sometimes couples just didn't have it. That’s why this spell wasn't well known or practiced, there had to be that love. This sometimes caused jealousy in Lyra and the wider fillyfooler community. To create life Mare-Stallion couples just had to have inter-course, sometimes they had a baby without meaning it. But Mare-Mare couples had to go through many things to have a foal, one of these things was to either have a unicorn in the relationship or to convince a close unicorn friend to perform the spell plus to get all the items, which at times were expensive (Moon stones cost 100 bits per stone, there had to be 5). And although there were cases of spontaneous conception between Mare-Mare couples, those were usually Unicorn only relationships and there often calls of cheating. But Lyra guessed this is what made the spell so special, it needed to be done because of love. Not some drunken night out, that ended with a mare in a bed she didn't know. Yet despite this and the fact that the spell was known to have existed in spell books for the past 500 years, very few knew of it and those that did often frowned on it. But Lyra at that point didn't care, all she wanted to do was give to Bon-Bon her dream, a foal. She started to recite the spell “Jecqu Jole Hace Foer Loyr Naveb njanj jbhbg nhvbh jnhwd hhnwdhv wgdhnvh jwhgh whvbw ghdohs dagw hund noesd huvh nuejv ghid vhuw bov wegh vbjkw vyuei jvbweuyhjb...” and channel magic into her, Bon-Bon and the items. Bon-Bon felt herself become encased in Lyra's magic, as lines formed out of nowhere, criss-crossing across and between each of the items. It was a wonderful sight as Bon-Bon was slowly lifted into the air with magic as Lyra was also lifted. A Ring of blue fire then encased the area around Lyra and Bon-Bon as they floated towards each other. Bon-Bon closed her eyes as she came closer to Lyra. They then softly collided, and suddenly both felt intense pain rip through their lower halves, if an observer had been looking they would of seen a small luminous ball come out of both Lyra and Bon-Bon ( White pink for Lyra and Seafoam Green for Bon-Bon) and come together in the center of the ring and then a blinding light. Inside the minds of both Mares they were each other, simultaneously living each others lives while also being themselves. It was strange, it was intense and it was beautiful. The ball of combining colors was the Zygote of the foal and at that particular moment the spell itself was choosing which of the two mares was best suited to carry said foal. It choose and raced towards it chosen target, colliding with it's intended mare to sink into the womb. And in an instant it was done, both mares were slowly dropped to the floor and allowed to rest against each other. Each dreaming of each other and their new foal, they both had smiles on their lips.
