You're Okay

Chapter X

“You excited?” I asked curiously as I glanced down at the smaller unicorn trotting alongside me. Liza nodded as I carried a few of her bags in my magic and the rest of her belongings in my saddlebags.

“Yeah!” Liza grinned as she blushed a bit. “Where’s Bon Bon?”

“She’s at home getting your room ready. You’re gonna be sharing a room with another filly till we get the basement room finished.”

“Oh okay,” Liza shrugged as she yawned.

“Tired?” I asked with a knowing smile. It had taken half the morning to sign all the adoption paperwork. Bon Bon had been there but quickly left to get the room setup while I got Liza ready to go.

“Yeah. Do you have any pets?”

“Not really. Bonnie is allergic to dog fur so we don’t have any dogs. Same with cats just to stay safe.”

“Makes sense I suppose,” Liza said casually as our house came into view. I opened the door with my magic and gestured for Liza to enter first. “Woah nice place.”

“Thanks,” Bon Bon called out from the living room as we glanced over at her. Bon Bon was sitting on the couch with a book about baking as she watched Scootaloo out of the corner of her eye, playing in the corner.

“Scootaloo?”

“Liza?”

The two gave each other confused looks as I smirked a bit.

“You two know each other I take it?” I asked as I settled down next to Bon Bon.

“Yeah I’m in Miss Cheerilees class with Scootaloo. I sit a few rows back next to Dinky and Alula.”

“Isn’t Alula like Cloudkickers daughter or something?” Scootaloo asked curiously as she cursed under her breath as her Jenga tower fell.

“No that’s her sister,” Bon Bon said and gave Scootaloo a dirty look. “Don’t curse. I heard that.”

“Sorry.”

“Forgiven. Now you’ll be sharing a room temporarily with Scootaloo till we get the basement room finished. Scootaloo, why don’t you take Liza up to your guys room and show her around?” Bon Bon suggested with a grin. “Me and Lyra will make dinner while you get her situated.”

“You got it!” Scootaloo grinned as she grabbed Liza’s hoof and dragged her upstairs.

“Are you sure this is a good idea?” I asked curiously as the door shut.

“Absolutely. Now I’ll make dinner and you can play your lyre if you wish. I could use some music while I cook.”

I gave a nod and levitated my lyre off it’s stand in the center of the room and ran a hoof over the strings as music started to fill the house.

---

I sat on the couch and continued running my hoof over the strings as Bon Bon, Liza and Scootaloo listened. Bon Bon flipped a page of her book.

“You don’t use your magic to play?” Liza asked curiously as I gave a smug smile.

“Nope! I know it’s not common for a unicorn to prefer her hooves over magic for music but I do. Helps me get the right sound I want,” I boasted as a few knocks on the door made us all look over at it. It was dark outside and I’d venture a guess it was nine pm or so.

“I got it!” Scootaloo exclaimed as she scrambled off the couch and galloped to the door.

“I’m coming too!” Liza called out as she joined her and Liza climbed on Scootaloos back to reach the door handle.

“Oh hey Twilight!” Scootaloo exclaimed and presumably hugged the alicorn. “What are you doing here?”

“I’m here to see Lyra and Bon Bon. And you of course,” Twilight answered. “Can I come in?”

“Scootaloo, Liza, let her in please!” I called out and levitated my lyre back to it’s spot. Just because I’m frustrated with her doesn’t mean I won’t be a good host. Twilight trotted in and the door closed.

“Scootaloo, Liza, please go to your rooms. I’ll be right up,” Bon Bon instructed as Scootaloo groaned.

“But I want to see Twilight,” Scootaloo grumbled as Bon Bon pointed a hoof upstairs and the two fillies climbed the stairs and disappeared into their room.

“What can we do for you?” I asked and folded my forelegs across my chest.

“I haven’t been a good friend to you Lyra. I know that,” Twilight admitted as she sat across from us in a chair. “I didn’t mean to make you upset the other day. Rainbow can be brash and rude and well, loud but she means well. You and Bon Bon are good influences on Scootaloo but so is Rainbow. Rainbow would never teach the filly to do anything bad.”

“Uh huh. I may have over reacted,” I said sheepishly as I rubbed my neck. “But my point stands, just because she’s an element of harmony doesn’t mean she should be allowed to have Scootaloo taken from us.”

“That won’t happen,” Twilight said firmly and levitated something in front of us. “This grants you temporary guardianship of Scootaloo. Both of you. I’ll be visiting weekly to make sure she is safe. And if you wish, after ninety days you’re eligible to adopt her.”

“How did you even get this?” Bon Bon asked incredulously as we confirmed the authenticity of the document.

“The pony in charge of the FPS owed me a favor. Figured now was a good time to collect. Never really planned on using it in the first place except now,” Twilight admitted and rolled her hoof.

“Thank you,” Bon Bon said and put the paper in a frame we had sitting on the table.

“Can I see Scootaloo? And the other filly?” Twilight asked hopefully.

“Scootaloo! Liza! Come down here please!” I called out and the two shot down the stairs.

“Hey Scootaloo,” Twilight smiled and levitated something out of her saddlebags. “I didn’t know there was another filly here so I expect you two to share this.” Twilight levitated the stuffed dolphin onto the floor and nodded.

“Ooh did Sea Swirl make this?” I asked curiously as Liza examined it.

“Didn’t make it. She did have extras from work she wanted me to give you and Bon Bon,” Twilight answered as I nodded.

“Ah.”

“And who are you?” Twilight asked curiously and levitated Liza onto her lap. “I’m Twilight, I went to school with Lyra as a filly.”

“Really? I’m Liza Doolots.”

“Nice to meet you,” Twilight smirked as she bounced her leg. “I’ll be back on Tuesday next week to finish up and talk to Scootaloo a bit more. Where she came from, the like.”

“Sounds good,” I sighed and traced a hoof on the couch. “Thanks Twilight. You can uh stay the night if you wish.”

“Thanks Lyra. I wouldn’t miss spending time with these two for nothing,” Twilight commented as Liza jumped off her lap. “And you too Bon Bon.”

“No problem. Now me and Lyra need to have a quick conversation upstairs if you don’t mind watching the two fillies please,” Bon Bon said as Twilight nodded. I followed Bon Bon upstairs to our room and closed the door. “I’m proud of you. You finally got over that drama, right?”

“Right,” I admitted sheepishly. “She didn’t have to help us but she did.”

“Good. Now cast your sound proof spell thingy please.”

My horn glowed and the room went dark. Thank Celestia for magic.

Author's Note:

Fun fact, I'm a huge Grand Theft Auto and Rockstar fan. Some leaked documents from Microsoft and Xbox confirmed the game is coming next year and yaah, I'm excited.

Interesting thought about Lyra playing. And gta, best be careful.

Me, i tried out the rdr1 Port. While not Supporting the price, its well optimized and to my surprise, has all dlcs, ps3 exklusive included. Pardon

Yeah video games are expensive as fuck these days. I want to play the sequel to Fallen Order but that shit like eighty dollars or so.

Not to mention next gen, i still try to get a ps5.

I just never got to play rdr1, thus i apprechiated the port. If you want to enjoy a classic, do graphics really matter? I am just happy to revive good childhood memories, like gta sa on ps4 emulated.

Rdr2 is a good game, i just hated how unlike rdr1 with its bounty, horse breaking or nightwatch Missions, there is no regular income possibility/repeatable activity, which is more important with the need to clean your weapons and such

Same I played Arkham Asylum recently. Red Dead is an okay game I suppose. Never played the first one.

Rdr2 helped me indirectly with stories and i even named my horses after mlp characters
