So what Lyra didn’t see was Bon-Bon come back a while later, to where them sweets were still lying in th’ dirt. And she knelt down and picked up every single one of ‘em, and as she did, these big ol’ tears fell from her face and down ta the ground like it was pourin’ with rain.
None of us saw Bon-Bon the whole rest o’ the day. But after school was out, and Lyra was on her way home, her eyes still red and her hooves still dirty from trying to dust off them sweets, Bon-Bon was waiting for her.
“Lyra,” she started, but the unicorn pony jus’ kept walking, faster an’ faster, an’ Bon-Bon had ta break inta a trot to keep up with her. “Lyra, I….”
“Leave me alone!” Lyra shouted at her, and started to gallop. Bon-Bon just stopped dead in the street and watched her go. She took some of the sweets from her saddlebag and clutched ‘em in her hoof.
“I’m the one who should have dirt kicked all over me,” she whispered.
The next day came, and things seemed ta have got back ta usual. It was before class, an’ Bon-Bon was back kickin’ rocks at the auditorium wall. She always got ta school earlier than th’ others so she could avoid havin’ to meet anypony at the gates.
But when Lyra arrived, Bon-Bon stopped kickin’ the stones and looked at her. She still seemed upset from the day before – but somethin’ about her was different. Bon-Bon couldn’t work it out at first, but then it slowly dawned on her. And as it did, a huge smile, the first smile she’d had in years, spread all across her face.
“Lyra! Lyra!” she cried, gallopin’ up ta her. Lyra shied away, but Bon-Bon was too quick fer her this time. She grabbed the unicorn pony around the shoulders, laughin’. “Something wonderful has happened!” |
