//------------------------------// // Twilight Arrives // Story: Reflections // by Flutterbat276 //------------------------------// Twilight came to the house that Lyra and Bon Bon resided and took a deep breath. She could smell toast, eggs, and cooked oats coming from inside the house. "Twilight?" "Yes Spike?" replied the princess, looking to her baby dragon friend. "Don't you think you're a little...er...early to be picking up Lyra?" Spike said. "Oh Spike! I said I'd take her to the mirror at noon! That doesn't mean we can't hang out for an hour or two before we go!" Twilight said, petting Spike's scaly head. "Twi! Stop! You're messing up my scales! I gotta big day planned for me and Rarity today and I don't want my head to be a wreck!" Spike said, pushing Twilight's hoof away from his head and fixing his spikes atop his head. "Oh right! Sorry Spike! I'll teleport you back to the castle to get ready for your big day!" Twilight said, her horn starting to glow. "Have fun! And tell Rarity I said hi!" "I will, I will...now go ahead, send me home! I gotta find my old gala suit to wear!" Spike whined, his legs stomping the ground furiously as if he was doing a mini run in place. "Good luck Spike!" Twilight said as she poofed her little dragon assistant away back to Ponyville. "Alright, got him on his date with Rarity, now to get Lyra to see the human world like I promised her...what if she disrupts the flow of time! No no, don't be silly! Surely she's disguised! And I can just ask Rarity to get me some clothing to put on her. So long as the other Lyra or Bon Bon doesn't recognize her or see her and they don't touch, they'll be fine, I hope!" Twilight said, knocking on the door as she mumbled her thoughts under her breath. "Hi Twilight! Come on in! We got breakfast, so help yourself!" Bon said, grinning. "Woah, oats? And imported from France, too? Royal grade. What's the occasion? Somepony get married or something? Is it a birthday?" Twilight asked, noticing the expensive half empty oat container on the counter. It was labeled 'Celestial Sunrise Breakfast Oats', imported from France as a gift to the royal guard and agency. Bon just kept smiling and said, "Well, can't somepony just fix some good oats without an occasion to celebrate, Twilight?" "I-I guess so, I just assumed that there was a special even happening to fix such high quality oats like this," Twilight said as her eyes caught sight of a levitating object across the room. The golden aura surrounding it lead it to the bathroom where Lyra was packing anything she may need, including money, extra underwear, her 'products', makeup, and spare contacts. Twilight trotted to the door and saw a pink haired unicorn with a candy cane an eighth rest cutie mark. She gasped and scared the unicorn, making her drop a box of Q-Tips. "Lyra Delrose Heartstrings! You look so much different! In a good way, you'll need to look different," Twilight said helping Lyra pick up Q-Tips off the floor and into the trash bin. "Twilight, you should know not to scare me like that!" Lyra said as she put one last dirty Q-Tip in the bin. Twilight just stared at her friend's new eye color. "Well! Anything to say?" Lyra said. "Um...I like your...eyes?" Twilight said, trying to change the subject. "Oh these? Yea Bon uses these on the job when she needs to disguise herself. It's also semi-prescription, meaning they'll change and adjust to your eyes in the matter of thirty minutes! I didn't think my eyes were so bad before!" Lyra said, chuckling. "Ooookay...so, has anything important happened lately? I saw Bon Bon fixed expensive oats about a few minutes ago," asked Twilight, still curious about the oats. Lyra blushed a bit behind her pink mane and smiled. "Um...no. Nothing important. Just something we decided to do," replied the red faced unicorn. "Lyra? Is there something you and Sweetiedrops are not telling me? I'm one of your seat friends beside Bon Bon. You can trust me, can't you?" Twilight said. "I'm sorry Twi, I just wanna tell you over some breakfast, ok?" Lyra said. "Anyways, where's Spike?" "Ok ok...and Spike. He's on a date," Twilight said. "With who!" Lyra said, the red in her face gone and her now deep brown eyes staring into Twilight's purple ones. "Um...Rarity?" Twilight said, her muzzle just inches away from Lyra's. "Um...Lyra? Can you give me some space? Please?" "Oh sorry!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After a couple minutes of chatting in the bathroom and living room, Bon Bon called the two into the kitchen. "Hey, guys! Breakfast!" "Coming!!" Lyra yelled as she took off. "Me too!" Twilight said, flying through the large open doorway. She landed next to Lyra and took a seat. "Toast and one egg for Ms. Heartstrings and special oats, toast, and two eggs for the princess. Enjoy!" Bon Bon said, adding a French tone to her voice. "Just so you know, that French accent was cute Bonnie," said Lyra. "Thanks..." Bon said, pink coming to her cheeks. "Ok, Lyra, you said that you and Bon Bon both will tell me what's going on here! I demand explanation for this!" Twilight said once Bon say down with a similar plate to Twilight's. "If you really wanna know what happened...Bonnie and I are...er...." Lyra said, nudging Bon Bon. "Oh, um...we're kind of a thing as of maybe right in the morning, wasn't it?" Bon said, looking over to Lyra. "Yea, eight 'o clock! So anyways, if you see us acting a little more 'friendly' around each other, just don't mind it, alright?" Lyra said. "So...you two are...lesbians?" Twilight asked, cocking her head to the right. "Yea. That's seems to be the sum of it!" Lyra and Bon Bon said in unison.
