So I guess I am updating today after all. Shoobie-doo-shoo-shoobie-doo!

A Day at the Beach

Lyra sat on the beach with Bon Bon, looking out at the rolling waves. It was a lovely day, and ponies were flocking to the beach to enjoy the sun and the water.

"Hey Bon Bon," said Lyra, her gaze never leaving the ocean. "Can I tell you something?"

"Sure," replied the earth pony, laying down on her back.

"Well," started Lyra, "The beach kinda makes me feel as though I need to be in the water."

Well of course, silly," laughed Bon Bon. "That's why you go to the beach! To go in the water!"

Lyra facehoofed. "I mean, sometimes I feel like I'm a seapony. You know, with the flippers and stuff?"

The cream colored pony gave her marefriend a funny look. "Lyra, hun, everypony knows that seaponies aren't real."

"I know, I know, but wouldn't it be cool to just… I don't know, be able to swim forever and go wherever you want?" The unicorn looked giddy just thinking about it.

"I don't know" said Bon Bon, standing up. "I like the ocean, but I'd rather stay here on land any day of the week."

"Sometimes," continued Lyra, acting as if Bon Bon hadn't spoken. "I have these dreams where I'm swimming with the other seaponies and we're all singing this song that goes all like 'Shoobie-doo-shoo-shoobie-doo!' and we all dance underwater and have a great time!"

Bon Bon began to walk towards an ice cream stand. "I think the sun might be getting to you Lyra. I'll get you some ice cream to help you cool down."

Lyra continued looking at all the ponies playing in the water, wondering what it would be like to be able to swim anywhere in Equestria.

"I got you mint," said Bon Bon as she came back with the ice cream. "I know how much you like it."

The unicorn took a lick. "Thanks Bonnie. Maybe the heat was getting to me," although as she spoke those words, she thought she heard a chorus of voices singing 'Shoobie-doo-shoo-shoobie-doo!'

Yay for Lyra! I finally started working on that new fic, but I need an editor. Send me a pm and I'll send you the first chapter once I'm done with it.
