//------------------------------// // A New Couple // Story: Reflections // by Flutterbat276 //------------------------------// Lyra woke up unusually early the next morning, obviously excited about the trip to Canterlot High! It was at this moment she realized something. "Wait, I need a disguise!" Lyra screamed, which woke up her roommate. "Lyra? Why are you up so early? It's seven in the morning," said Bon Bon, her blue and pink mane ruffled and messy. "Remember? Twilight's taking me to the portal!" Lyra said, looking through various drawers to find a bottle of temporary hair dye. "Found ya!" she said, holding up a can of spray-on pink and purple wash out hair dye she used for a Nightmare Night costume the previous year. "So, why do you need the pink hairspray? Aren't you only going for a few minutes during their lunch break?" "I am not taking chances Bonny! If my human self sees me who knows what chaos will be thrown in their world!" "Ok ok...and don't call me 'Bonny', Lyra. It makes me feel weird..." Bon Bon said, a hint of pink escaping to her cheeks and muzzle. Lyra giggled slightly, catching her friend's attention. Oh how she though it was adorable how red her face would get sometimes! "What? Is there something on my face!" Bon quickly rushed to the vanity Lyra had occupied whilst she spray dyed her mane and tail in the florecent pink color. "Hey! Bon, watch it! I nearly got it in my eye!" Lyra snapped, her forehead now a neon pink. "I'm so sorry Lyra! I wasn't paying any-" "It's ok Bon. I was just teasin ya!" Lyra said, playfully punching her friend's arm. "Lyra? Can I maybe say something?" Bon Bon said, her pinkish glow returned to her cream colored cheeks. "Yessss?" Lyra said, intrigued by this new sensation that filled the two mares. "Um, ya see Lyra...I'm not sure if you roll that way, but maybe I could...we could..." "I'd love to," said Lyra, crying tears of joy that her friend felt the same way she did. It was the best day of her entire life! She got a mare friend and was about to see a world she fantasizes about since she was a young filly in magic kindergarden! "Oh goodness, I thought you were straight! But, can you keep this between us though? I don't want anypony spreading any rumors about lesbians running through Canterlot and Ponyville together! And I'm not sure how Celestia would take it if one of her top agents was a...yea..." Bon Bon stated, shuffling her hooves. "Alright...I won't tell. Can't I just tell Lemon Drops or Minuette! Maybe Twinkle Shine! Please Bonny!" Lyra begged, wanting desperately to tell her oldest friends about the occasion. "Lyra? What did I just say?" "Not to tell anypony..." Lyra said, her now pink mane covering her golden eyes. "Good, now lemme fix you up so your unrecognizable to the other me and you." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After a good half hour, Lyra had brown contacts in, makeup over her cutiemark with a new one representing a simple eighth rest and a peppermint candy cane behind it. Bon Bon asked her for her name. "Peppermint Song!" Lyra said as if she was a veteran being asked a question by the general. "I think you are ready to go Ly-Peppermint!" Bon said, hugging her new mare friend. The two stood in silence for what felt like ages! "Um, you want breakfast before you go?" Bon asked her. "Oh right, yes. Of course! But I need room to try the human lunch food!" Lyra said, snapping back to reality. "Alright, one egg and a price of toast sound good to you?" "Yea, thanks Bon."
