Minuette And Me

Time Warps Are Cool!
"Hey, Miss Heartstrings? Wakey-wakey!" says a soothing voice.
I come out of my forcefully-applied trance slowly. Ugh, what happened? Time warps, ponies, magic, bubbles... muffins? No scratch that last bit... dentists, I remember that. And Bon Bon telling me to go get my teeth cleaned. Ha, no chance! It must've been a dream!
So I must've been a bit heavy on the chocolate cake last night! Bonnie! I thought you'd make sure I'd not have more than half of that cakes now!
I raise a hoof to my eyes and rub them slowly, smiling. A weird dream, but pleasant enough and I feel rested! I stretch my legs and prepare to talk to my lyre like I do every morning in secret. Ponies would think I am crazy if they caught me doing it.
I left my head, eyes firmly shut, ready to embrace whatever time of day it is. I open my eyes in a snap.
I must've fallen asleep downstairs. I see a few new trinkets though that I don't remember being there. Redecorating again, My Little Bon Bon?
"Bon Bon!" I shout. "Why'd you leave me to sleep on the floor again! You know I hate it," I frown.
I hear stifled giggling from behind me.
"This isn't funny!" I get up off the floor and try to maintain my facade of anger but ultimately fail. Okay, maybe it is a little bit funny! "I swear, I will tickle you to the ground when I catch you!"
More laughter. I turn and see a strange blue mare, white-washed walls and dentist equipment and -
Oh wait.
Damn.
It wasn't a dream.
I blush violently, humiliated. "Um, sorry, Miss... Colgate?"
She giggles again, takes my hoof and leads me to the door. "It's okay, Miss Heartstrings. I hear the time warps do tend to slightly disorientate patients. it only makes the recent past seem like a dream though, buuuuut to err on the side of caution I need to have permission to use it."
"Time warps!" I gasp and grin excitedly! This is so awesome!
"What about them?" she says, eyebrow raised but a dumb smile on her face. She knows I am interested.
"Explain! They sound so awesome and strange and cool and a million other words I can't remember! That form of magic is so rare it's - "
She stops me with a raised hoof. "I suppose I can, Miss Heartstrings. Could you, um, wait a while? Go home if you wish. I need to attend other patients you see, but I'd be happy to explain!"
"Oh, of course! Can I meet you at the Town Hall then?"
"Yes, of course! How does seven pm sound?" she says.
"Sounds good! I'll meet you there!" I turn and walk through the door.
"I can't wait, Miss Heartstrings!"
"Please, just call me Lyra!" I quickly add.
I am certain she says, "That mare is crazier than when I used laughing gas on Pinkie Pie..."
I walk out into the morning air before dancing my way home on my rearlegs, attracting a few odds stares. I don't mind. Behind the party pony I am the most hyperactive mare around!
I arrive home soon enough and see it is empty. Ah, yes, Bon Bon is out teaching fillies her trade. How nice! I have so much time to get ready and prepare questions!
I'm excitable and may go over the top but it got me an A+ throughout school life so who cares?
Happily, I trot into our living room and take a seat on the couch. But for the first time in months I do not reach for the remote to turn on the TV. No, instead I grab Bonnie's notebook and rip a page out - I'm sure she wont mind, and if she does I'll tickle her - and then rest it in my lap.
I use my magic to grab a quill from a shelf above the TV and think.
What would be a good thing to ask?
Ooh! I'll start basic!
What is a time warp?
I stare at my sheet.
And stare.
And stare.
I yawn. What time is it? I observe the clock menacingly, whispering, "Don't lie to me this time!" It says.
Yeah... this is going to be a long couple of hours. But it'll be worth it when I ask Colgate all my questions about her little talent! If she's into music I could finally express myself to somepony! Gosh, this'll be so awesome! Now I just need some more questions...
I feel like this is the worst yet but I'm desperately trying to avoid what most call "writers block" here! :)
;) Pinkie Pie with laughing gas results in laughter on an even higher scale, making her go from "abnormal" to downright "crazy" in my books! :D
Ciao.
