Chapter 33: Being Released Again

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

He woke up when he felt something poking him, and then he started to hear Luna's voice gently saying his name. His eyes slowly opened to see a smile and felt a pair of lips kiss him on the forehead. Once he was fully awake, he stretched and looked at Luna who seemed to want to tell him something.

"Good morning Brandon," Luna said.

"A good morning to you too," he replied. "So, is there something you wanted to tell me?"

"Oh, well I just wanted to let you know that I'll be heading back to Canterlot today. So I just wanted to say my goodbye for now, and to remind you that you owe me a date and massage." Luna said, making him give a little chuckle.

"Right, hey where's Lyra?" He asked.

"Look in the chair," Luna said and when he did, he almost busted out laughing.

Lyra was sitting there like how she does on the park bench, only she had fallen asleep like that. Though he wondered if that was healthy for her neck, she did look so cute and peaceful. That went double when she gave a little whistle when ever she breathed out, and he turned back to Luna.

"Don't worry Luna, I'll have our date all planned out by the time you get back. It's a shame that you have to leave today, I mean I'm getting released and all." He said, making her give a sigh.

"I know, and I really wanted to spend a little more time with you. But then I think I would seem a little clingy. I mean, I’ve already lived with you for how long now? One, two weeks? It may not seem a lot, but one of those weeks we weren’t even together." Luna said.

"Yeah, so when do you have to go?" He asked.

"I'll be going in an hour, that's why I wanted to wake you. That and it seemed that the dream that you were having was showing more favoritism towards a certain green mare," Luna said making him blush a little.

"What? I can't spend a little alone time with a dream version of one of my marefriends? I mean with you I can spend time in my dreams with the real you, but can't you let me have a nice little dream about one of the others?" He asked.

"No can do, if I can't spend time with you in real life then they can't spend time with you in your dreams for right now," Luna said, giving him a wink. "Well, I better get to the town square, love you."

"Love you too," he said bringing her in for a kiss.

"You better get some more rest, especially since when I get back your flying lessons will start," Luna said, starting to walk towards the door.

He watched her leave, though he did have to look away when he saw her looking back with a devious smile as she swayed her hips back and forth. Though the good thing is, he at least has some hold over them now with giving massages to stop them from teasing him. Once he laid back down, he gave a sigh and looked back at the sleeping Lyra.

She really did seem so cute and beautiful when she sleeps, not that he didn't think that of her when she's awake. But something about her looking so peaceful just makes her look even more so, and he had to wipe a tear from his eye, not really knowing why. He gave one last glance at Lyra before closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep again.

Something was shaking him, no not shaking him, shaking his bed as he felt something bouncing. He opened his eyes just a little to see Grace bouncing next to him with a big smile. Once he knew she didn't know he was awake, he waited until she stopped bouncing to suddenly raise a hand and boop her on her nose.

"Hey, what was that for?" Grace asked rubbing her nose.

"For bouncing me awake, and to see what cute face you’d make." He answered stretching his arms giving a yawn. "So, what are you doing in here?"

"I wanted to come to see you before you got released," Grace said.

"Yeah, she really was insistent on waking you up." He looked over to see Lyra holding back a smile.

"No I wasn't, you told me to wake him up!" Grace said.

"Well, thank you anyways, Grace. Though you do know I'll be seeing more of you soon right?" He asked.

"Really?" Grace asked, and he could the excitement in her eyes.

"Well since Luna will be taking you flying, and teaching me how to fly, I think that'll be a good way to see each other and we'll play whatever games you want to." He replied giving her a little smile.

"That would be so awesome!" Grace said flapping her wing.

"Hey Grace, if you don't mind me asking, but do you get many visitors?" Lyra asked, making him give her a slight glare.

"Um, n-no not really. Most of my family lives in Cloudsdale and none of them ever come to see me," Grace answered her smile slipping a little. "That's why I'm glad you came and visited me." She said giving him an even bigger smile.

"Well, I'll come to visit you as well if you want." The three of them looked over to see Derpy standing there in the doorway with a smile.

"Count me in, that and I want to see what he looks like when he tries to fly." Lyra joked.

"Ha ha, better be careful or else you'll get a pie to the face again." He reminded her of when she got a special present on her birthday from him.

"Um, excuse me but am I interrupting something here?" Once again, all eyes were on the door where Rarity was standing.

"Of course not, what do you need Rarity?" He asked waving her in.

"Oh, nothing much. And hello there, you sure are a cute little filly. What's your name?" Rarity asked.

"My name is Grace, and you're Rarity, right?" Grace asked.

"Yes, though that's no surprise since you just heard my name." Rarity said.

"So why are you visiting today?" He asked.

"Right, sorry darling. I wanted to see if you can come over to the Boutique after you've been officially released later? Since you've grown wings, I want to get more measurements and make some new outfits for you." Rarity said, and they all could see the twinkle in her eyes at designing those new outfits.

"That shouldn't be a problem, but shouldn't we wait until they've fully grown? I mean we don't even know how big they're gonna get." He said, stretching his wings which were now a good ten feet stretch.

"Hmm, true, we'll have to ask your doctor. Where is he by the way?" Rarity asked.

"I'm right here, sorry I'm late, another patient was having a bit of trouble. Now, what did you need me for Rarity?" Dr. Hayseed asked.

"Well, for one I would like to go on another date if you wouldn't mind?" Rarity said, making him and Lyra roll their eyes.

"Besides that, she also wanted to know how big we can expect my wings to get?" He asked, and Hayseed nodded.

"Alright, how about this next Friday? And as for your wings, from what I could tell they won't get much bigger than what they are now. So whatever Rarity here wants to do will be fine." Hayseed answered. "But just in case, I'll run the normal test on your wings and do a N.M.S to see if they'll grow. After that, you'll be free to go."

"Thanks, well I guess I can come over for those measurements today." He said looking at Rarity.

"Yup and next Friday is fine." Rarity said, giving a flirty wink to Hayseed.

"Yes, well let's get started with those examinations," Hayseed said, looking a little uncomfortable.

While Hayseed set to work telling him what he wanted him to do, the mares talked among themselves and they could be heard giggling a little as one of his wings accidentally wracked Hayseed on the head. After apologizing, Hayseed continued being careful to avoid setting off his wings again. Soon, Hayseed escorted him to a room to perform the scan.

"Yup, it looks like your wings are done growing as far as I can tell. Very impressive how big they got in a few days time. Anyways, let's get you back to your room so you can collect your things and your marefriends." Hayseed said, and they walked back to his room where Derpy, Lyra, and Grace were waiting.

"Alright Grace, time to go back to your room," Hayseed said, making her groan.

"But I wanted to spend a little more time with them," Grace said giving Hayseed a pout.

"I'm sure they'll be visiting soon enough, just say bye for now," Hayseed said, giving a chuckle.

"Fine, I guess I'll see you all soon right?" Grace asked with a hopeful smile.

"Of course," Derpy said giving her a smile in return.

"Yup, can do." He answered.

"Alright, see ya then!" Grace said running out the door.

"Okay, everything checks out. He's all your's ladies, now I have to go fill out some paperwork, you all have fun and remember no extraneous activity for at least another couple days." Hayseed said, giving the two mares a stern look making Lyra blush a little and Derpy laugh a little at the blush.

"Well, see ya around Doc." He said as Hayseed left the room. "Well, I guess the first thing we need to do is return those games to Twilight."

"Oh, Rarity already said she would take care of it," Derpy said.

"Cool, well I don't think Rarity would want me to come over for at least another few hours. So, what do you two want to do until then?" He asked.

"Why don't we have a picnic, just the four of us!" Derpy suggested.

"Um, Derpy, Luna had to go back to Canterlot for some royal duties. So it would be just the three of us," he said.

"Oh, well we can still do the picnic," Derpy said.

"Yeah, and then I want to know what you have planned for our one on one date, and when are we going on that date?" Lyra asked.

"Soon, but I'm not telling you what I have planned for it." He replied.

"Alright fine, but no promises I won't poke your wings then," Lyra said.

"Then no massage for you," he said giving Derpy a wink, who blushed a little.

"Oh, right. Say Derpy, do you know what he did to Luna yesterday?" Derpy shook her head. "Well, I was getting us some food and when I came back I heard her moaning, and pleading for him to stop. At first, a few dirty thoughts crossed my mind but when I looked in he was massaging her wings."

"What? You did?" Derpy asked, surprised.

"Uh, yeah but that was mostly to stop the teasing for my wings." He defended.

"That's still a little unfair, but whatever you have to do. Though now I'm a little jealous that you didn't give me a wing massage," Derpy said.

"Hey now, we were already in a bit of a position. I didn't want us to do anything so soon," he said finally taking note that they were actually outside. "Huh, we moved fast."

"What, did you just now realize we were outside?" Lyra asked, giving him a knowing smirk.

"Yeah, I did," he replied and then stopped. "Hey guys, if we're gonna have a picnic I want to go pick something up. I'll meet you two at the park."

"Alright, don't take too long," Derpy said.

"Yeah, because I'm not done with you yet," Lyra said, giving him an evil smile.

"Right, see you two there." He said as he started walking into town.

He did want to pick something up for the picnic, but at the same time, he wanted to say hi to someone while he was out. Though he knew he would have to keep this a secret for a little bit until he knew things had calmed down. After all, he wouldn't want everyone to get upset that he was visiting the one who hurt him the most, Bon Bon.

As he walked though, he could feel the ponies around him stare at his wings which he didn't mind. The only thing that really made him worry is that some ponies like those stallions who tried to jump him tried that again. Something told him that there were a lot of ponies like that around, and with him now having wings it would fuel their hatred or whatever they have against him.

His destination was in sight now, only two more blocks to go. Though as he got closer, he couldn't help but think of how strange it was for how quickly he forgave Bon Bon. He understood where she came from, but that honestly didn't make what she did right. It hurt more than him after all, though he knew she had suffered emotional pain just like him because of what she did, so that could be a reason why he did forgive her.

"Hello, and welcome to Bon Bon's Sweet Sho... Brandon?" Bon Bon asked, making him snap back out of thought and he could see that he was in her candy shop.

"Oh hey Bon Bon, how are you doing?" He asked browsing her selection.

"Um, better I guess. I mean after we talked at the hospital, it did cheer me up a little knowing you forgave me. But what happened to you? I mean you have wings, how did that happen?" Bon Bon asked.

"They started to grow five days ago, and magic I guess? But hey, I was wondering if you have any suggestions for a picnic?" He asked.

"Oh, um, well is Lyra going to be there?" Bon Bon asked, looking down in shame.

"Yeah, she is, why?" He asked.

"Well, because she'll be able to tell that I made it. And won't she be mad at you for visiting me?" Bon Bon asked.

"She will most likely be mad, but that'll be my problem, not yours. But don't worry, just like you, I know how to calm her down." He replied.

"I didn't know how to calm her down that one night." Bon Bon gave a depressed sigh. "Well, anyways I'll get you a package of my best. You know, I do actually miss having you do the heavy lifting around here?"

"Really, figures. Though I already have a job, I'll be working at Sweet Apple Acres with Big Mac doing some accounting." He said.

"And I thought you hated accounting and weren't that good at it either, that's why I had you do the heavy lifting." Bon Bon said, and he could hear her change her tone slightly.

"Well, I do hate it, and I only made you think I was bad at it so I wouldn't have to do it." He said watching as she put together a candy package.

"Go figure, anyway here's your package. That'll be twenty bits please," Bon Bon said.

"I thought it was more expensive than that," he said getting the money out.

"It was, but I'm running a deal right now. It's called the Heartbreak deal, where if you just suffered from a breakup and have a broken heart you get ten bits off. Since I know I put you through some heartbreak, I decided to apply that deal for you." Bon Bon said.

"Well, thanks and hey remember I will be back next week to hang out. And I'll make sure Lyra doesn't come in here in an angry huff," he said giving her a little smile.

"Thanks, and see you next week I guess. Make sure you treat her like she wants to be treated," Bon Bon said.

"Will do," he said, walking out of the door releasing a sigh. "Well, that went a lot better than expected. Maybe I'll actually enjoy coming here to visit a lot more than what I thought I would."
