Lyra Thinks Bon Bon Is a Human

by Lyrafan38

Investigation - Day 1 Part 2

Why did Lyra have to say that? I thought to myself. I can't truly be a mythical creature.

I raised a hoof to my face as if to prove that fact. Surely, there was no truth in Lyra was saying. This was just another silly fantasy of hers.

At least, that's what I kept telling myself.

The truth is that Lyra's words had implanted themselves into my mind, making me question my existence. I silently cursed Celestia's name for giving them residency in my subconscious.

It's been roughly about an hour or two since Lyra rushed off to the library in order to 'make me remember my past' as one passing pony called it when I stepped outside for some fresh air to clear my head from her labeling me as a human.

I just don't understand it. Why, out of all the ponies in Equestria, would Lyra accuse me of being a creature from folklore? Has she run out of victims and accusations by this point?

I heard the door slam with such a force that I'm not ashamed to admit that caused me to jump a few feet in the air like a nervous cat. However, unlike the cat, my landing was not graceful by any standards. I landed with a small thud on the floor, knowing full well that would hurt tomorrow morning.

The door slam meant only one thing. Lyra was home with her so-called 'evidence.' Most likely she had bribed Twilight to create random shreds of things that were supposed to trigger flashbacks in ponies' minds. And no one was safe from these. I still remember Scootaloo almost bawling her eyes out when Lyra scared the living nightmare out of the filly.

"Bon Bon! I'm back!" Lyra exclaimed.

I nervously cast a glance behind me, somewhat afraid as to what she had supposedly found to recreate an event that never happened.

"Bon Bon? Are you okay?" she asked, a frown and a concerned look very evident on her face.

"I'm fine." I nervously answered, rubbing one of my forelegs with the other one. I must have not given that answer cheerily enough because Lyra trotted over to me in an attempt to make me feel better.

"It......It's just that what you said....." I mumbled into the air.

"You mean about you being a human?"

"Even though I'm not one of them.....yeah......" I sighed.

Lyra began to slightly give me a hug, although it was kind of tight since we both were currently standing up on all four hooves. "Look, why don't we do this a little bit at a time? Surely then it will help you remember it all."

I must have cast her a weird look because the next thing she did was distance herself away from me. "Calm down there, Bon Bon." she said, firing up her horn to remove her saddlebags. "Now, you're freaking me out."

"S....sorry."

Funny........Lyra kind of reminds me of my mom. Crazy one minute and caring the next. It's like when she used to hold me close when I was a little girl....foal.

I mentally did a double take. Did I just say girl? That wasn't even a term that I had heard of in the Equestrian language. Surely, I had just made that up. Yeah, that was it! It was just a word invented for the occasion.

Seriously, though. Has my mind gone flat out crazy?! Surely it has. I was born as a filly. Not that girl thing.

"You look like you need some sleep or something, Bon Bon." Lyra said. "I may have accidentally fired your brain into overdrive with what I was saying. You go take a nap and then we can work on recovering your memories to unveil the you that you were."

"I-I'm perfectly fine." I stammered.

The frown was back on her face. "Uh....no you're not."

"I need to go ask Twilight about this. Like now." I said, beginning to trot towards the door.

However, I ended up trotting into a wall of mint green. It took me a minute or two to recognize that I had just bumped into Lyra who must have been quicker than me to the door.

The next thing I knew was that I was being lifted off the ground in a golden magical aura of Lyra's doing. "This is going to be the best for you at the moment. We can't work with a scrambled brain at all. Totally inaccurate results could come flying out at you."

"Lyra.....I'm perfectly fine. I am no human and I don't need to go to bed."

I don't think she heard me as my eyelids grew somewhat heavy and I apparently fell asleep. The last thing I heard was her saying "Sweet dreams, Bon Bon."

------------------------

When I awoke from sleep, I knew right off the bat that this wasn't our house. Not unless the house was a swirling mass of an endless void or something. Purple smoke was as far as I could see.

"Hello?" I called out, getting no answer. There didn't seem to be any other pony anyway in the near vicinity.

Somewhat unsteadily, I began trotting off into what I assumed was north. It was a little hard to tell since I wasn't the greatest at directions.

After a few minutes/hours/some measure of time, I began to realize that I was somehow exploring my dreams. Did Luna do this?

I kept looking around for her to explain this, but there was no sign of the alicorn anywhere in this dreamscape.

Soon, I found something else (I would say somepony, but the creature looked nothing like a pony. It looked like some horrendous creature that sauntered out of the Everfree.) and, out of curiosity, I trotted over to it.

This thing must have heard me coming becuase it suddenly came rushing out at me as fast as its legs would carry it. I attempted to turn around and gallop like my hooves were on fire, but for some odd reason, I was rooted to the spot.

That creature crossed the distance between us in a freakishly short amount of time and embraced me in a tight hug. It was so tight that I thought it was choking me.

Tears fell from this thing's eyes and landed on my fur as it slowly stroked my mane. I managed to hear one sentence being repeated over and over again. "Oh, my dear, sweet Brianna. How I missed you so."
