Friends are friends

Author's Note:

Warning: This may sound rushed a bit, idk, I had a time limit so I'm not sure about the quality in it myself, so you can tell me in the comments! Hooray for comments! I also don't really know much about the characters themselves so... yea. Also, I happened to forget to change the short description the first time round (how smart am I?), guess it made sense why it took forever to submit. Anyway, enjoy!

"Lyra~! Why do you keep running off?" A cream coated Bon-Bon muttered to herself as she searched for her minty friend through the market place. If only she had an intention span of at least a squirrel, then she'd be easier to keep track of. As Bon-Bon searched through the small crowds of ponies for her friend, she finally spotted a certain mint green unicorn buying something at a store. Rolling her eyes, Bon-Bon walked up to her friend, who started smiling as she spotted Bon-Bon walk over to her.

"Bon-Bon, where were you? You shouldn't run off all the time, I was starting to wonder where you went," Lyra greeted her dearest friend, earning a audible facehoof as a response. "What?" Lyra asked, clearly confused by Bon-Bon's actions.

"You know what, it doesn't matter. What was so important for you to be in such a rush to buy?" Bon-Bon skillfully avoided Lyra's question. At the sound of her friend asking about what she was buying, Lyra felt a smile grow on her lips as she wrapped a hoof around her friends shoulders.

"Oh, not much," she passed off nonchalantly, "Except only THE MOST AWESOME THING EVER!" Lyra let go of Bon- Bon and took a few steps back with a proud smile on her face. "Are you ready..." she paused, slipping a hoof into the saddlebag she had stored her her item in, "... For THIS!?" Her smile grew even larger as she held out an old looking... Bucket hat.

Bon-Bon couldn't help but sigh. "Lyra, that's just a hat," she deadpanned.

"Oh but it's not just any hat though, it's a... Human's bucket hat!" she yelled excitedly as she held it as if a tresure. Bon-Bon on the other hand was not enjoying herself.

"Oh dear Celestia," she mumbled to herself.

"Look Bonnie, it fits me so well!" Lyra exclaimed, ignoring her friends annoyance as she grinned largly as the bucket hat sat on her head, pushing her ears down and the brim being pushed up by her horn.

"Lyra, that's just a hat," Bon-Bon repeated, this time getting through to the unicorn in front of her.

"No, see how it's got no holes for ears or a horn? It's definitely a human hat," Lyra defended as she still wore her precious hat.

"So... It's just a hat that's harder to wear? Ugh this has been such a waste of time."

"Well, what would you rather do, go sit at the park bench? Again?" Lyra came back at her.

"No," she sighed, "I guess this is a bit better, but can you tone it down on the Human stuff?"

"Sure Bonnie, I'll try" Lyra said with a sincere smile of comfort on her face. With that bon-bon was confident that she could enjoy the rest of the day in peace.

As they came to the next store, Bon-Bon was looking at the wide range of items on sale, as Lyra went to talk to the sales pony. "Pst, do you have any human items?"

"CELESTIA DAMN IT LYRA!"

Lyra and Bon-Bon walked back to their house with bags full of items bought at the market, Lyra being noticeably happier than her friend. "Can you believe that hat I got? Man it may have cost me double the price for a normal one, but it was so~ worth it!" Lyra gloated, happy to have a new item to her collection.

"Yes, what a great day," Bon-Bon deadpanned walking behind her friend. Lyra didn't pay much attention however, and kept her proud march up. As they headed home, Bon-Bon spotted a store selling something she adored, sweets. Nudging Lyra and pointing towards Sugarcube corner, they set off in that direction. As they entered, Lyra got a booth in the corner as Bon-Bon went to order.

"Hello, deary, what can I get you?" Mrs Cake asked her as Bpn-bon walked up to the counter.

"Could I please have a chocolate eclair, a few donuts , two milkshakes and a cherry pie for later?" Bon-bon listed off with ease

"Sure, let me get those ready for you, I'll only be a minute," she assured as she walked to the back of the shop.

As bon-bon waited for Mrs Cake returned, she didn't notice a pony walk up behind her. "Well, that's quite a lot for one pony," Bon-bon jumped and felt her heart sink as she came face to face with Paper Privilege. "But then again, I should expect that from some-pony as fat as you."

Bon-bon didn't get upset easily, but she was always conscious about her weight, and it always upset her when it got brought up. "Go away Paper," she stated with annoyance and small tears forming in her eyes.

"And why should I, piggy?" He asked with a mocking tone.

"Please stop it," Bon-bon begged as tears started to flow, catching Lyra's attention from across the shop.

"Sorry, let me speak a language you understand. Oink, Oink." he teased, his sentence causing Bon-Bon to break down in tears.

"Hey, what do you think your doing to mu friend?!" Lyra shouted as she approached the annoying brown Pegasus.

"hey aren't you that freak who likes that human stuff? Why don't you run back to where you belong, you freak!" He yelled in confidence, sure that he stuck something. Unfortunately for him however, he didn't.

"Why don't you ask that to my hoof, because i know exactly where i should stick it!" she came back hotly as she got closer. "Just because you get everything that you want with no trouble, it doesn't mean we have to put up with you. So you better apologies or get lost," she delivered the ultimatum.

"A-and if I don't?" he stammered back, his confidence now gone.

"You won't enjoy your time hear," she whispered threateningly into his ear. That's what broke him. Not used to having shown such hostility towards him, he couldn't help but run.

Lyra then turned towards her friend on the ground and crouched lower to her. "Hey, its ok," she comforted as she crouched to her friend. "Come on, you can trust me, I'm your best friend after all." This confidant statement made Bon-Bon cheer up a bit about the situation as a small smile grew on her face.

Bon-Bon sat in the booth as Lyra grabbed the food and milkshake and brought into the booth. Bon-Bon looked, at Lyra who still wore the hat and opened her moth to speak. "You know, you actually look kinda good in that hat."
