To Ease My Troubled Mind.

I Took a Walk Around the World...

Author's Note:

This fic is Narrated by Gummy.

Gummy's inner musings and thoughts are in Bold.

I hope you all enjoy!

" Are you still mad at me? " This mare by the name of Bon-Bon worriedly asked her mint colored friend, who sat upright on the local bench in the middle of town, the mints eyes gazing away from the one pony she thought she could tell anything to.

But that was just it, could she really ever share anything deep with Bon-Bon again?- Or would it be eclipsed by the lack of trust she felt, when her best marefriend had spoke of her secret double life.

The pain sat within her heart, growing with each passing day.

Would she be able to truly trust her again?

Bon-Bon folded her ears back slowly, placing a slender hoof atop the mint colored mares shoulder in pure silence.

Her touch sent a small chill down the mint one's backside, the warmth of her friends hoof was calming. Thoughts filling her mind, unsure of what her next words should be.
-------

And here I sit across from the bench, lying within the lush grass- enjoying the cool crisp touch of the dew ridden vegetation, against my dry scaly skin.

I enjoy merely sitting in this spot upon the earth, thinking many an item over, deep within my inner sanctuary of the mind.

The Mint colored one, she questions if she can ever trust her friend again.

But what is trust really?, except a promise of character.

Given to many a pony, to ease their mind's, that the world they live in, might not just be as carefree as they think.

Anypony can give their word, that they are telling the truth, or that they can be trusted to deliver on a certain task.

But only few can persevere above the status quo, and keep to their word with the purest of intentions.

So what is trust?- a promise? a guarantee? or is it something more?

Perhaps trust is merely a fail-safe to all ponies, a silent promise that all will be okay.

A word they cling to, so that they might not live in fear, that the sweetest words spoken by those they love- Might just be bitter poison.

Instead of placing all our hope upon a word, we should do something different altogether.

Place that hope upon the pony itself, if we give freely to the pony we love, stay true and honest.

Even during the darkest of times, then perhaps, just maybe those who seek to hide or deceive.

Shall feel the warmth of a heart, only wishing them the best.

And in time maybe, they shall not feel the need to be that which they are not.

But can a ponies heart be that pure?

Can we as a species, ever give hope and love that freely- on a prayer that we shall not be hurt?

I as one simple Gator can not say, but if we are unable to take a leap of faith.

Then how can the world ever surprise us?

--------

" How do I know, you won't lie to me again? " The Minty one sighed with ears folded back in pain, gently lying her head atop her marefriends shoulder, a slight shiver running across her body.

" I only lied at first- to protect you." Bon-Bon whispered into the mares ear.

" But I promise to never do that again, the time's we've shared and the smile's you've brought me are the most precious treasure I have." Bon-Bon whimpered aloud, I could sense a aura of truth around her, even from across the way.

Go on Minty, place the trust not within her word's, but within the pony herself.

" I just don't know...." The Minty one spoke deep in thought.

Let the world surprise you.

" If you don't want me around anymore, I can understand." Bon-Bon smiled weakly heart shattering from within.

Calm your mind, hold your breath and take the leap.

The eerie silence of a broken heart filled the air, I watched never blinking as the one named Bon-Bon nodded in defeat her body trembling as she slowly slid off the bench.

" I'll never forget the time we shared." Bon-Bon whispered leaning forward, her lips kissing the Minty one upon the cheek before she slowly began to walk away.

Wait!

" Wait! " The Minty mare screamed, her voice filled with pain, confusion and warmth.

" Lyra? " Bon-Bon whimpered.

" I trust you!- I know deep down inside you'd never do anything to hurt me." The Minty one spoke, running over to the one she loved gently cuddling against her frame.

" And I know, even though we fear at time's if we share a dark secret, we'll lose the one we love- you need to know if the pony truly loves you-then she'd never leave or be afraid." The Minty mare gazed lovingly into the others eyes.

" So you'll trust my word again? " Bon-Bon smiled on the verge of tears.

" No not your word!- I'll trust you. " The Minty mare leaned forward lips touching her friends, both mares deepening a kiss not afraid for all the world to know their love.

---

That is calming, to see two find love even within a shroud of uncertainty.

Many are not as lucky, they'll allow the mistakes of the past to haunt them.

Keep them awake during sleepless nights, turn dream's of sweetness.

Into bitter nightmare's.

In the end Gator and Pony, should both open their heart's and take a blind leap.

They might be surprised as to where they will find love.

-----

" Awwwww!, Is my Gummy-Wummy enjoying the Shiny-Whiney Day!? " The pink mare of my life bounced in front of me hyperactively.

Her mane so crazy, much like the motto in which she lives her life.

And personality so sweet.

A shining light within the darkness.

A laugh among the silence.

The sweetest taste among the sour.

As my friend lifts me up, I place my gums around the side of her head, latching on with all my might.

My relaxation period is over, now to ponder the worlds' most devious questions...

Such as...

If it takes magic from a Alicorn Princess nay Magic at all to raise our Sun and Moon.

Then does that mean the gravity of our planet is also created by this mystic power?

Or do we even have gravity at all?

Or is this world simply a mass of floating planets and moons?

Waiting to be awakened by powerful magic.

If so then, is our world merely a speck of dust somewhere, flowing through time and space.

A small piece of something.....

Bigger...

As my friend lifts me up, I place my gums around the side of her head, latching on with all my might.

This line made me smile. I love it how Gummy's apparent weirdness is just part of how he shows affection.

I daresay there were a few grammar oddities, though. It seemed like commas were missing in a few places where they would have helped to break-up compound sentences. There were also some times where apostrophes were misused... e.g., question's (implying a thing possessed by a question) instead of questions (implying the existence of multiple questions).

Still: Upvoted.

6128561 Thank you.

I'm working on getting a proofreader, My Achilles heel is the use of punctuation-I'll admit that.

I barely was able to enter this into a contest.

But I thank you for your words, everytime someone takes time out of their day to help point thing's out is very appreciated.

6129147 Thank you.-I'm happy you enjoyed it.

[Pegasister107]

AAAAW

and yeah, Gummy, yes you are a piece of something bigger..............and you´re also being sold in a toystore thanks to an evil "WE´VE-GOT-TO-HAVE-MONEY" corporation

also, you keep refering to Lyra as "the Minty one" Does he not know Lyra´s name?

[Lady Lorelei]

6134382 He knows Lyra's name I just thought it would help Gummy sound quirky to speak of her as a minty one lol.

It also came from a friend I used to have a friend back in HS, he'd refer t everybody by name except me- who he called The Whispering One.-I was way too soft spoken in HS.-though I grew out of it when I got older, I was just afraid of speaking out my ideas.

Again it was just a quirk I thought would fit Gummy.-make it sound less bland then saying Bon-bon and Lyra.-I'm glad you enjoyed the fic too.

This a certainly a fine gem. Gummy's narration almost feels like a wildlife documentary
