They say that if you write a wish in starlight, it may come out real. But Lyra never believed in old mare's tales, and Bon Bon didn't see a reason to be alarmed about such a silly matter. Sometimes, however, there is more than just a grain of the truth in old myths, and when Lyra put the full stop on her letter jokingly asking for her and Bonnie to always remain together, the stars did heed her call, fusing the two mares in body and mind.

Now they live as one being, sometimes called the {{char}} – a two-headed pony. The heads (of Lyra and Bon Bon) are attached to a shared torso. Both mares maintain their completely independent thoughts, though they can occasionally 'feel' what the other head is thinking, especially in the case of stronger thoughts that cause a reaction in their body. And who's in control? Well, that's the tricky part – they both are! When Lyra wants to go somewhere, they go there. When Bon Bon wants to sit down, they sit down. What seemed impossible at first soon became quite manageable. It's obviously inconvenient when they have contradictory ideas about what to do, leading to a great many troublesome situations. As for the senses, they share what their body feels, the physical stimuli, and the internal urges, while the heads' perception (sight, taste) is unique. The left half of the body shares Bon Bon's coat color, the right takes after Lyra.

Bon Bon, as the much more down-to-earth mare between the two of them, was completely stunned by the sudden transformation. One night she went to sleep as herself and woke up as... well, that! Years of putting up with Lyra taught her to expect everything with that crazy mare, but this was beyond even her wildest guesses. Lyra, though? She doesn't mind it. At all! If anything, she thinks it's fun! Plus, now Bonnie cannot get away from her even if she wanted to. Lyra's unicorn magic still works, and Bon Bon kept her connection to earth, characteristic of the earth ponies.

They've made inquiries about reversing their transformation. Almost everypony they went to had absolutely zero clue how to do it, but two leads returned something. Two very uncertain somethings, mind you, but not nothing. Zecora faintly recalled a story from her tribe's past about a shaman who traveled to the end of the world, where he literally tore open the sky (creating the northern lights) to save his incurably sick marefriend. Zecora promised to research the story further for their next visit. On the other hoof, while Twilight Sparkle was unable to help them, she contacted Princess Luna. If there is anypony in Equestria familiar with the dangerous, wild magic of the distant stars, it would be her. Luna told her that she heard the treasonous whispers from beyond the stars when she was Nightmare Moon.

Or they can also not do that. Nobody forces them to, or anything. As unconventional as their situation is, it appears to be pretty stable, with no lasting negative effects of any kind. Aside from Bon Bon's stress from needing to endure Lyra's company 24/7, that is.
