My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Matchmaker

Chapter 7

“wow. Zilver really said that?” Ash asked. The humans gathered at Orion’s engine room when they learned of what had transpired hours earlier to the guys.

“yep. The Scumbag said that he was gonna have nothing to do with Applejack or their foal.” Aura angrily said.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

“yeah, but Spike and Rarity have a big problem.” Ash said. “thanks to Sweetie Belle and her love for Spike, there’s a chance that their relationship is over and done with before it began. And he had such a good plan to win her love.”

“well, you haven’t keep keeping an eye on Shadow.” Satoshi said. “he’s in love with Dash but since she’s going out with Soarin’, he’s keeping his feelings bottled up. Eventually, they’re gonna explode out.”

“well, Twi and Halo are reaching a breaking point. Literally. I think if they don’t talk soon, they won’t have a chance to reconcile this.” Req muttered.

“well, me, Bahamut, and Sora can safely say we don’t have to worry about this.” Jax said as she leaned back.

“aren’t you guys lucky?” the rest sarcastically replied.

“but seriously, we need to do something for them.’ Sora said. “If not, this could cause a lot of damage to them.”

“especially Starlight.” Req added. “If a expectant mother gets under a lot of pressure, it can have very bad consequences on the baby. I‘m glad Jess was strong willed when she was pregnant.”

The gang looked at each other and nodded. “well, I can’t believe I’m saying this, but… Requiem, time to unleash the romance monger.”

Requiem disappeared for a moment and reappeared dressed as Cupid. “I’m ready to go to work.” she jokingly said. A arrow tipped with the heart symbol fell out of the plastic bow she held. Everyone gagged at the outfit and instantaneously came up with the same reaction:

“Lose the outfit!”

Lyra & Bonbon
Starting a Future

The sounds of a lute filled the air followed by some heavenly singing. Both sounds are originating from a certain emerald Unicorn, who sat beneath a tree. A certain vanilla Earth Pony walked on up to her, carrying a picnic basket.

“hey there, cutie.” Bonbon said with a smile.

“hey, Bonnie.” Lyra stopped her singing and put her lute down. Bonbon put the basket down. Lyra grabbed her Marefriend and pulled her close. “you are so cute, you know that?”

“I know.” the 2 kissed for a good minute before breaking. “so are you, Lyra.”

The two lovers kissed again and fell to the ground. They broke the kiss and just looked at each other.

“I love you.” they both whispered as they stared into each others eyes. Lyra brushed her girlfriend’s hair out of her face and smiled.

“Can we get to the picnic basket before it gets cold?” Bonbon asked.

“oh. Right.” Bonbon got up and walked on over to it. Lyra smiled and looked at her Marefriend’s plot. “you got a nice booty, you know that?”

Bonbon stuck one of her hooves in deep and kicked it up towards her. “perv.” she chuckled.

“I’m a taken mare. We’re entitled to do it.”

Bonbon playfully chuckled as she walked over and opened the basket. She took out a bottle of wine then stopped. “Lyra.”

“yeah?”

“how do you feel about kids?”

“eh… they’re all right. A bit loud and obnoxious but cute. Why?”

Bonbon set the bottle down. “Lyra… I want to have a baby.”

Lyra went wide-eyed. “a baaa….. A bab……” she couldn’t even say it. Bonbon rolled her eyes and hit her in the back of the head. “thanks. You want to have a baby? Why?”

“well, seeing Derpy with Dinky the other day made me think about that. Having a baby helps make things complete. And remember what Derpy said? Dinky was the best thing to happen to her, even though she was a mistake. We would make good parents, right?”

“yeah, but Bonnie. Babies are messy, they’re loud, they’re smelly. we’d be up all hours of the night. And did I mention they’re messy?”

“So’s Roseluck when she’s in her garden yet she’s the same age as us.”

“sorry, Bonnie, but we aren’t having a baby. End of story.” Lyra took the bottle and took a couple of glasses out of the basket.

Bonbon angrily shook her head. “you think you know somepony then something this happens.”

Lyra stopped and looked at her. “what’s that supposed to mean?”

“I don’t know, Lyra. You tell me.” Bonbon angrily asked. “since when do you decide what we can or can’t do?”

“listen to me, Bonnie. Kids are the worst. We’d be regretting doing this when the tyke is born. And the pregnancy. Oy, do you see do damage it’s doing to Twilight’s body?” Bonbon just got even more angry. “there’s the morning sickness and as you get further along, it get’s harder to move. And from what I head, Childbirth is one event you don’t want to happen to your body. Ow!”

“if that’s trying to scare me, Lyra, it’s not going to work. I want a baby.”

“And I don’t.”

The 2 looked at each other, each with angry looks. “you better hope the couch is comfy tonight, Lyra, cause you’re gonna be sleeping there for quite a while.” Bonbon angrily sneered. She turned and walked off, kicking the basket behind her.

Lyra angrily scoffed and threw the bottle down into the grass.

Bonbon angrily grumbled as she walked though town. “damn Lyra. Child hater. Who does she think she is, saying we can’t have kids.” she nearly ran into Marble, who stormed off into a alley-way. She almost got hit by Sora, who didn’t notice her, but they avoided a collision.

Bonbon looked up and saw that she had arrived at the fountain. She walked up to the fountain and looked in. she saw her angry reflection. Then, she felt guilty. “what am I doing, forcing this on her?” Bahamut walked up beside her. She noticed his reflection and sighed. “really not in a talkative mood, B.”

“is something wrong?” he asked.

“It’s Lyra. She’s saying that she doesn’t want to have kids. But I do.”

“1 in 5 couples always have this problem.” Bahamut sighed. “I was too, unfortunately.” Bonbon scoffed. “Listen, Bon, trying to force this on someone is never good for any relationship. Take it slow. Wait till she’s ready.”

“I know, but I’m ready now. I wanted a child ever since I WAS a child. It’s been something I wanted for a long time.”

“but is it something Lyra wanted?”

Bonbon hadn’t thought about that. She was so dead-set on this, she had forgotten about her feelings. “oh, crud. I am such a idiot. I should’ve have listened to her opinion, shouldn’t I?”

“Yep. And you better hope you didn’t destroy your relationship with her.”

Bonbon walked away from the fountain and increased to a jog. “you and me both, Bahamut.” she ran off to find Lyra, hoping she hasn’t left.

Lyra, however, was on the other side of the fountain. The splashing water made it so she didn’t hear it. She heard laughing behind her. She looked to see Twilight and Derpy talking and laughing.

Derpy noticed Lyra and walked over. “Hey, Lyra. What’s up?”

“nothing that concerns you two.” she angrily replied.

Twilight and Derpy looked at each other, sensing something was wrong. “what happened?” they both asked.

“Bonbon’s been going on and on about us having kids. I don’t want to because baby’s are too much trouble. They’re expensive, they’re messy, they scream all though the night. And the baby-in-production process ain’t exactly a good time. You 2 can agree with me on that.”

“well, I can agree that being pregnant ain’t exactly a walk in the park…” Twi said.

“See?” Lyra interrupted.

“BUT there are some good aspects to it.” Twi continued. “Top on the list would be that knowing that a new life is forming inside you is something you’d never replicate, no matter how hard you tried. It’s… just something you have to feel yourself to understand.”

“That is true. And raising the child is great. I mean, you’d have to be heartless not to fall in love with something you made.” Derpy explained. “remember when I said Dinky was a accident?”

“And then you said that she was the best thing that happened to you, what of it?” a peeved Lyra asked.

“I meant it. True, there were some bad parts but it’s a great feeling. Like pregnancy, nothing can replicate it.”

Lyra thought for a moment. “so what you’re saying is that all this can be a good thing?”

“yeah.” they both said.

Lyra sighed. “guess I should’ve thought it over before I snapped at her.”

“uh-oh.” both Twi and Derpy said again.

Lyra thought up a perfect solution. “but I think I know a way to make up for it.”

Bonbon looked all over Ponyville till the sun began to set. Then she started getting hopeless and desperate.

“oh, Lyra. Where’d you go?” she worriedly wondered as she ran past the library.

Before long, a defeated and VERY worried Bonbon returned to the hill where she and Lyra had their fight. The bottle of wine was still there. She sat down and grabbed it. “Celestia, I was a idiot.” she said to herself.

She started to cry when the sounds of a lute and a heavenly voice filled the air. “Lyra?” she gasped. She looked up to see Lyra sitting under the same tree from this morning, doing the same thing she did.

Lyra sang with her eyes closed, strumming her lyre to a wonderful tune. Bonbon closed her eyes and listened to the beautiful tune. It reminded her of the time they first met; 20 years ago in 3rd grade. She walked over and placed her head on Lyra’s lap. She felt it but kept on singing.

Lyra stopped 3 minutes later. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Bonbon. “hey, cutie. Where were ya?”

“looking for you.” she looked up at Lyra‘s cute face. “listen, I was thinking. Maybe we don’t need a kid right now. Maybe we can wait a few years before having one.”

“but I thought you wanted a kid since you were a kid.”

“I do. But if it’s gonna tear us apart, I think we can wait.”

Lyra half-smiled. “well, I have quite a surprise for you.” Bonbon looked up at her with puppy-dog eyes. “after our fight, I ran into Twilight and Derpy. They… told me about the good aspects of raising a child. Well, forced it down my throat would be a better way to put it. Anyway, after my talk with them, I went down to the fertility clinic.”

Bonbon went wide-eyed as she got hopeful. “Lyra… are you saying…?”

Lyra bent down and kissed Bonbon on the forehead. “in 11 months, there’s gonna be the pitter-patter of little hooves in our house.”

Bonbon gasped as she held her mouth. Her eyes got watery. “you are one odd pony, Lyra. And I love that about you. So, who’d you choose as the father?”

“un… think the donor’s name was Caramel.”

“oh. He’s a nice pony. Strong farmer. Honest too. You choose good.”

“I know.” Lyra look up and thought for a moment. “hey, Bonnie.”

“hmm?”

“since I am willingly putting my body though this for you, how about we… consummate this?”

“How?” Lyra got a pedo-smile going. Bonbon instantly knew what she was talking about. “OH!”

“well?”

Bonbon got up and kissed Lyra on the forehead. “you check the bedsprings. I’ll get the whipped cream.”
