A ditzy lunch break
“You know Lyra, you dodging answering how you know where the Principals live is kinda suspicious.” Bon-Bon declared as she drove, Lyra eyeing her from the passenger seat as she applied her makeup. “Some might start thinking you and Celestia are in a secret relationship.”
Lyra gasped. “Bonnnyyy! That is so inappropriate!” She glared at Bon-Bon. “Don’t even joke like that, someone might take that too seriously and Celestia could get in trouble.”
“Well, how do you know where they live?” Bon-Bon asked, staring Lyra down.
“It’s not that exciting a story really.” Lyra grumbled and rolled her eyes, going back to applying her makeup. “Remember when I was working at that pizza place before my asshole boss fired me? I delivered pizzas to the Principal's house once. It was such a memorable experience I committed it to memory.”
“Huh…” Bon-Bon drove on with a blank look. “You’re right, that isn’t very exciting.”
“See? Now you can’t make wildly inappropriate speculations.” Lyra said triumphantly
“Well, my next guess was you delivered some school papers to her house or something.”
“Why would that be my responsibility? I’m a student, why are they giving me Important school papers?”
“I didn’t say it was perfect.” Bon-Bon said defensively. “But there's some logic to it.”
“Is there though?"
"Not unless you want me to speculate more about your and Celestia's secret relationship." Bon-Bon challenged, pulling into the school parking lot.
"Too girly, I'm only into butch Lesbians." Lyra said casually, wondering how long it would take for Bon-Bon to realize what she was implying.
"Exactly." Bon-Bon said proudly, only for her face to fall. "Hey! I'm not butch!"
"Is there something wrong with being butch?"
"Well, no-"
"Then I don't see the problem." Lyra laid back in her seat cockily. “In this relationship you’re the butch one.”
“This hair doesn’t curl itself you know!” Bon-Bon scoffed and grabbed her hair, holding it up for Lyra to see. “I wear a dress almost all the time, I have my own makeup tutorials online, and you're more boyish than me! So how am I butch?”
“Oh, so femininity is a bunch of compartmentalized stereotypes to you then? Such backwards ways of thinking.” Lyra lifted her eyebrow in an exaggerated manner.
“Wha- stop using your word magic to confuse me!” Bon-Bon pulled into a parking space. “If anyone’s butch in this relationship, it’s you. Which is fine, I don't care how you conduct yourself in public because I love you.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.” Lyra said with a sinister tone. “You ever complain about how I look, I’m just going to remind you of this day.”
Bon-Bon couldn't help but roll her eyes. “Anyway, what’s the first step of your brilliantly designed scheme?”
“Well, first we need some co-conspirators.” The two got out and started making their way to the school building, various other students doing the same. “And I was thinking about approaching…” Lyra suddenly got nervous. “Derpy.”
“You’re gonna try to recruit Derpy?” Bon-Bon said with an uneasy tone. “We haven’t even talked to her since… you know. What if she tells Sunset?”
“I know her well enough to know she wouldn’t do that.” Lyra answered, not sounding so confident. “Plus, I’m not asking her to do much. Just try to encourage Sunset to run for Princess. That’s it.”
Bon-Bon hummed. “Alright sweetie, if you’re sure this won’t crash and burn immediately. Just… handle her delicately.”
“I will, I’ve got a big apology plan and everything.” Lyra offered a reassuring smile. “I’m sure I’ll win her over enough.”
“If you say so.” Bon-Bon began walking faster than Lyra, trying to outpace her. “You have a nice day at school sweetie. I need to drop something off at the teachers lounge.”
“K, try not to get detention while doing that, otherwise you’ll miss all the fun.” Lyra waved Bon-Bon goodbye. “I’ll see you at lunch.”
The whole class began rising from their seats as the lunch bell rang, Derpy sitting perfectly still as she knew what was about to happen.
“Sit down! The bell doesn’t dismiss, I dismiss you.” Ms. Harswhinny declared, eliciting a cacophony of groans as the class sat back down and waited.
Derpy smiled, she never understood why everyone kept getting up at the bell despite this happening everyday, you’d think they’d wise up by now. Some of her fellow classmates weren’t even going to lunch with her.
“You’re all dismissed.” Ms. Harswhinny said as she turned to her board. Derpy and the rest of her class got up and began making their way to the door. She gave Ms. Harswhinny a wave goodbye, who gave her a disinterested one in return.
Derpy weaved her way through the halls and the crowd of students, ignoring the three fights she passed along the way, and got in line for lunch. She strained her eyes over the cafeteria, aligning them for a brief few seconds as she spotted red and gold hair poking out from the crowd.
Derpy's smile brightened and she made her way over to Sunsets table when she got her lunch. “Hi Sunset!”
Sunset raised her head, wiped her eyes, and put on a smile for Derpy as she walked to the other side of the table. “Hey Derpy.”
“Is it ok if I sit with you? I know you sometimes like to be alone.”
“Go right ahead.” Sunset gestured to the seat, Derpy quickly sitting down. “Oh and, don’t try to chase AJ off when she comes around. I told her she could sit with me.”
Derpy looked surprised at that. “Oh! That’s wonderful Sunset. Does that mean you two are on speaking terms?”
Sunset nodded. “Yeah, it’s a long story, but me and Applejack talked some things out on Saturday. We’re testing the waters of being friends again.”
“What did you two talk about? If you don’t mind me asking.”
“Actually, we uh… talked about you.” Sunset said nervously.
“Me? Why, Sunset, I'm flattered. Nobody ever talks about me after school.” She rested her head on her hands. “Only good things I hope?”
“Yeah, I guess. You see, Applejack encouraged me to make some friends with the people I still talk to, and since you are one of said people…”
Derpy looked confused. “Wait, I thought we were already friends?”
“You’re only saying that because you’re friends with everyone at school.”
“Not right now, I’m angry with the school too for how they treated you. Plus, me and my main group of friends aren’t talking to each other after they kicked me out.” Derpy explained. “But I guess you’re right, we haven’t really hung out.”
“Exactly, and I wanna change that.” Derpys face lit up at Sunset's words. “But…”
Derpy's face fell. “But?”
“I… I still feel really bad for how I treated you back then. You and...” Sunset scowled. “Fluttershy were my most frequent victims.”
“Oh, Sunset.” Derpy gave a reassuring smile. “I already forgave you for all that.”
“That’s the thing though. I didn’t do anything to deserve it.” Sunset lifted her head to look at Derpy. “Pretty much everyone else either wanted me to do something, or needed time before they forgave me. You immediately forgave me, and I feel guilty not making it up to you.”
“So, you want to make restitution for how you treated me?”
“Yeah.” Sunset nodded her head.
“Ok!” Derpy shrugged and began eating her food.
“Look, I know you don’t like people doing things for you, but I really- Wait...” Sunset sat there dumbly for a few seconds. “What did you say?”
“Sunset, don't be silly.” Derpy grinned. “I’m not going to turn down someone offering to do me a favor, and if it makes you feel better and lets us be friends, then win-win!”
“O-oh.” Sunset looked down embarrassed, but couldn’t help but smile.
“Plus, it would be nice for you to do something for me. Still hurts when I think back to when you were-”
“A bitch?”
“I was going to say mean.” Derpy declared.
Sunset huffed in amusement. “I was sure you were going to turn me down… do you perhaps have anything you want me to do?”
“At the moment? Nope! But I’ll think of something, don’t you worry.”
“Well, in the meantime, want to maybe do something after school?” Sunset recoiled when Derpy gasped loudly, yelping when the girl reached over the table and wrapped her in a hug.
“I thought you’d never ask! I haven’t hung out with anyone other than my boyfriend since Anon-A-Miss!”
“D-Derpy! You’re getting your clothes all dirty! Why didn’t you just walk around the table and hug me?”
“Because this is the most direct route silly.” Derpy pulled away and sat back down. “Though, now most of my lunch is on my skirt and I’m hungry.”
Sunset rolled her eyes in an amused manner and pushed her tray over to Derpy. “Here, you can have mine, I’m not hungry.” She stood up and began walking away. “I’m going to get some napkins, if AJ arrives tell her I shouldn’t be long.”
“Ok! Just make sure to get here before the bell rings!” Derpy waved goodbye at Sunset who gave her a strange look but waved regardless.

Love this chapter and love Derpy and Time turner dating in this fic.
Huh. I thought the reason why Lyra knew where Principal Celestia lives was because those two are secretly neighbors. But I guess her former pizza job makes more sense.
They're planning to talk to Derpy to join in on their plan, eh? Something tell me that this won't be easy, especially after they hurt her badly during Anon-a-Miss.
Also, Derpy's here! Yay!
derpicdn.net/img/2019/3/19/1989697/full.gif
I'm glad both her and Sunset became friends!
Sunset asked Derpy if there's anything she can do to make up for being mean to her in the past, only for Derpy to assure her that she'll "come up with something later".
Hmm... I wonder if this will come back into play later.
I'm personally fine with either pairings for Derpy, and I'm not opposed to Derpy and Time Turner!
Excellent chapter!

Sure Bon-Bons been to Lyras house before, she probably would’ve recognized the neighborhood. It must be like walking on egg shells if you live next to your Principals though.
The best pony don’t at me.
Probably, I just don’t know what Derpy could make Sunset do.
You better not, DerpyTurner is one of my favorite ships, even when Time Turner is the Doctor.
Awesome chapter, cant wait for more
11121051
Believe it or not, DerpyTurner is one of my favorite ships too!
Lyra's trying way too hard. Trying to convince someone who's actually friends with Sunset to participate in such a shady plan just screams desperation.
11121071
It's like I've been saying...and Sunset, Lyra isn't doing this to help Sunset but make herself feel better. She feels guilty about all the crap she and the school put Sunset through and believes making her feel better will make her feel better and thus that leaves to the obvious problem. If she's doing this for purely selfish reasons it's not gonna work.
Despite how forgiving she is, I don't think Derpy is gonna be too on board with Lyra's plan especially as others have noted Lyra's only doing this to make herself feel better.
11121229
Agreed
Sooo, can Sunset still get graduated somehow?
Great update!
I had a teacher like you portrayed Ms. Harshwhinny in fifth grade. She had a strictness to her that, thinking back, probably would have done me some good had I allowed it to.
Good chapter that became great thanks to Derpy (Best Human/Pony)
11121051
Since you don’t know what you want Derpy to have Sunset do I recommend something that would help Sunset because Derpy is great like that!
11121484
Yeah, she can get her diploma, she’s just not allowed to walk at graduation.
11121698
And she can still go to college, right?
11118453
It the student with the top grades in the whole graduating class. Its considered a big honor to be one and it makes you look a little better to colleges.
11121706
The school board has no control over that and could face a lawsuit if they tried to sabotage Sunsets chances going into college, which they would be unlikely to succeed in the first place.
The only issues Sunset could face while trying to get into college would be that some of her activities are on her permanent record, which will definitely be a black mark for her. Though that would probably be mitigated by her numerous academic achievements, near perfect test scores, and nearly 2 years of good behavior.
11121772
So, she'll never be Valedictorian and walk on graduation but at least it's a small win she still gets her diploma and still goes to college.
To be fair, it likely annoys teachers when their students treat the bell as the bigger authority. Sometimes it is a petty power trip, other times they're in the middle of explaining or doing something and it's plain rude to walk out on that.
I like this story - been reading it as soon as a new chapter is uploaded.

Sorry teach, but I don’t like being late to class.
at the schools I went to, the bells NEVER dismissed us, it was the teachers, and the teachers only. Which I completely respected both then and now. I find it disrespectful and rude, if the teacher is trying to say something, and suddenly, everyone just up and leaves cause a bell went. That was NEVER allowed at my school. The scenario in this chapter is exactly what our teachers would do. If everybody got up to leave after the bell went, the teacber would say "Hey! Sit down! The bell doesn't dismiss you, I do!" Then, when evrybody was sitting, quietly, at their desks, the teacher would wait a few moments, and then dismiss us, just like this chapter.
I did. In the last class, the teacher used to make us wait so long after the bell rang that I was afraid I was gonna miss the bus
11158612
I had teachers get annoyed because nature called during afternoon announcements with was before dismissal. Like I can decide when I have to answer the call.
11121917
I usually found that in schools where the focus was on teacher dismissing by policy, not just one teachers descision , other teachers would be a bit more lax on people being late, and we got more time inbetween lessons too as buffer. Also may be personal preference but I remember the information at the end of a lesson a lot better when it is ended like that then when it’s shouted at end after bell over the rush, or had to be split til next day as an aside
