//------------------------------// // Dinner at heartstrings! // Story: Dinner at heartstrings! // by Sir lightning blade //------------------------------// Twilight sparkle returns to ponyvill. Twilight took the train this time after flying back twice was kind of exhausting she's not used to flying is much as Rainbow Dash or even fluttershy. It was still in the early mornings by time she got the ponyvill, about seven or eight in the morning, give or take a few minutes. Sadly the cabs were not working this early, so she couldn't call one. As she walked over to a house very much would like all the other houses inside the town. Twilight look deeply at her self, Lyra heartstrings was inside this town the whole time, ever bothered to recoup her friendship with her, neither did Lyra! But her other friends, did point out that she did look very busy on most of the occasions, and she couldn't help but be true that she did have to save the town a couple times. Shaking nervously she raised her hoof towards the door, and gently knocked she knew it was early but, every pony was already up? But there was no answer, too early for ponies to be out about doing things beyond work-related stuff and ensure research Lyra was a musician. Which meant their hours were very flexible and they were usually homebodies, unless they have a gig and there is hardly ever a gig arounds 8:03.45 seconds in morning! As section Twilight began knocking a bit louder and harder, thankfully Lyra's door was a lot sturdier, whole lot sturdier. But she kept knocking louder and louder until she broke the door down because she forgets that she's now got the strength of the earth pony! But instead of expecting the Very light aquamarine unicorn with slightly grayish hair looking, she found a very bewildered Light apple greenish gray pony with a slightly unique color, Mane style cobalt blue on one side and very light fuchsia on the other side, from certain angles she would look like two different ponies, she was very directly at her from or behind? Bonbon “Well keeping your the Princess or else you might not be able to afford it.” Making a slight joke, normally she would be extremely upset at any pony that would smash down her door but, this was the Princess. Princess twilight breaks down her door how is she going to complain. Sure she's technically fired from working with her former secret agent job but, working as a Candy mare. Doesn't exactly match up the same pay grade. “Bonbon didn't know you lived here? Most candy store owners live at their actual store.” Slightly confused, She visited bonbons candy shop once a while but never really noticed. As she nervously looked around and carefully said “I could have sworn this was the house of Lyra heartstrings?” Bonbon smiled and replied “Lyra my very very very special friends, and she's currently working on when my catering deals, she'll be back later on tonight. It's so nice to work with your very best friend. I mean some ponies say in office relationships never work out well! But Lyra, never keep secrets beyond the usual minor stuff.” With a heavily implied smile and usual guarding. Twilight gave a simple nod, showing off a bit of a sad smile and start walking off. Bonbon was originally going to go to work today! BUT the young apprentice was doing quite well, so she'll call in extra employees and have tea with the Princess. “But you can't wait till she comes back, besides we can talk and get to know one another. After all you might have some great blackmail material for Lyra later!” With a sneaky smile as she offered twilight in. Twilight sparkle naturally walked into the doorway and then casting a spell to restore the broken door. Walking into the place it was quite beautiful, outside was playing it looks like pretty much every house. The interior of the house was slightly different, often kept neat and tidy just like home. Two large bookshelves containing vast varieties of books, a simple couch, comfortable for fitting one pony that was slightly on the extra-large side. As she turned to look at bonbon. The pony was a little overweight but not by much, certainly not to the extent of having a gigantic chair, that if you set two ponies side by side would fit easily. And it looks like the chair was custom-made? But maybe this was one of Lyra's works. After all Lyra had some strange taste in furniture. The two ponies walked into the kitchen, there was a dining table no chairs as usual, the small pillows to sit on. As bonbon was opening up her cabinets to look for the right type of tea to serve. Twilight could have sworn she saw a bottle in one of the cabinets marked cyanide pills do not take! She carefully focused on this particular bottle why would a confection us have it, maybe it was meant to get rid of rats, after all if you weren't a food store you need to make sure that the rats do not get into anything, although cyanide is a little bit harsh. As bonbon made the tea, and sat down next to Twilight. “Sorry I already had breakfast, and Lyra recently just finished soundproofing the house, with a muffling noise spell. Something about us bugging the neighbors with our loud noises. It's not what you think we don't argue that much maybe once or twice a week. But it's nothing big! I think the soundproofing is mainly because of the music that Lyra plays all the time she pretty much varies from different instruments. From her liar to her heavy metal guitar, with giant sub speaker that she got from Octavia, I think it was her little sister's first Wilbur.” Trying to dispel any rumors that were going around that are Lyra where having mixed relationships. Sure they were really great 'friends' but after the love of them wanted spell she was kind of leery about anything that involved. Love magic from Princess twilight. “Really I've cast my fair share of corona silence but never managed to do it for the entire house, as established and I really look into that.” Twilight gave a curious look of trying to figure out the spell system, and she was quite thankful that bonbon wasn't offering to cook anything after eating at that party she kind of overstuffed yourself again. Curious on how those pinky pie managed to stay at least the size 40, with all the candy and sweets she has. “Really, so it has Lyra been a really good multi-speller in the past? “Bonbon asked with a curious tone what type spells Lyra's secret compartments. As Twilight noticed that bonbon the voice changed in midsentence? Several hours later. Lyra was coming through the door as she opened it, hearing some giggling and from the kitchen area, as she slammed the door shut instantly she was tackled by Twilight?!? She Turn to look at bonbon and quickly said “This is what looks like, it's a old friend and I don't know how she got here?” As the unicorn looked slightly worried, the gorgeous Princess standing over. Twilight stood up and got slightly confused, as she used her magic to pick up Lyra. “I'm so sorry!” Quickly apologizing with massive sad face, it was so adorable that Lyra couldn't help but resist the temptation. Lyra “don't worry although I really don't want to be accidentally placed on Moon dancer's checklist.” With a slight giggle and chuckle as she walked over to bonbon and took her into the seat that was strangely design! As the two sat close together side-by-side. Twilight was still confused, and said “but I thought you like going to parties, which means I should have invited you to moon dancer's party forgot.” Slightly upset but she forgot to do another thing making her feel like she was even worse a friend. Lyra said “don't worry about it. Missing one party for another is okay! After all nobody could be in the same place twice.” As twilight gave a curious look as if she was pondering something. Bonbon “oh the chair is called a loveseat, it's one of Lyra's 'human' inventions.” As her voice changed in midsentence again this time on the emphasis of human, just as her eyes rolled around. Lyra “sheesh bonbon you should really get that voice modifier looked at, I hear that time Turner is a bit of a tinkerer. He could take a look at it?” Slightly changing the subject knowing that talking about humans drives bonbon craziest especially when she gets into the major details of like physical shapes. Twilight “I should really a sunset about that?” With a slight curious tone and then she quickly noticed the phrasing, voice modifier and then started on another question “bonbon what do you have a voice modifier? I've noticed your voice is changing a lot? And now you have a voice modifier?” Bonbon's eyes began to water, quickly looking to her partner and grabbing her mouth and started a slight cover story, wishing she wasn't such a terrible liar! That was more like agent photo bomb, she was great with her fantastic cover story of being twinkle shine she was so deep in undercover she even pretended to be a filly for several years. “Oh what a solution for my old bad habit of mine, it really doesn't help that I still have some fire fume issues.” Giving out a very very light lie, hoping that twilights interesting currencies would make her exaggerate the problem in a way that would work into her benefits. Sadly Lyra was too strong and actually counter the lie, with a new question “when are you in a fire was? Was this back during your secret agent days?” As twilight's horn began to spark and crackle, as she looked at the two and then. Bonbon quickly pulled out a small gadget, from the arm of the loveseat which left Lyra slightly confused, as the two were instantly coded in a heavies Knight suitable armor, for each of them! Meanwhile outside! The townsfolk spotted a massive explosion! As the fire department a ponyvill came over which was mainly volunteers, Time Turner, Derby, Rainbow responsibility danger Dash! As well as several other ponies throwing buckets at the possible fire that was going to be resulted from the massive explosion! THE END
