  1. >The first thing Lyra remembered was being asleep.
  2. >She slowly awoke to a bright morning sun in a brilliantly green meadow.
  3. >As she opened her eyes and inhaled the first breath of clean, crisp air, it occurred to her that she most certainly did not fall asleep in a meadow last night.
  4. >She began to rise and look around. She was surprised to find Pinkie Pie next to her in a deep sleep.
  5. >Lyra gently nudged Pinkie with her hoof in an attempt to get her up, perhaps finding an answer from her. She muttered something about a sea monkey and snorted.
  6. >"Pinkie Pie?" Lyra began to speak.
  7. >"I don't wanna go to pineapple school..." Pinkie slurred, barely awake.
  8. >"Pinkie, can you tell me where we are?"
  9. >Pinkie gradually got up and began to stretch. She surveyed the area for a bit, before turning back to Lyra.
  10. >"Nope, no idea where we are or how we got here!" Pinkie cheered.
  11. >"You're weirdly upbeat, considering that we're lost in some kind of weird meadow-type area" Lyra said, puzzled.
  12. >Pinkie snorted. "I'm used to it! I usually wake up in strange places after a night of partying, and every night is a night of partying for me!"
  13. >Lyra tilted her head.
  14. >"Well, I sure didn't go to any parties last night, but I'm here, too."
  15. >"Hmm, that is kinda strange! I wonder what happened to get us here?"
  16. >"Well, if we work together, we can figure it out!" Lyra said confidently.
  17. >"We oughta get to work right away, then!" Pinkie said, "Starting with this weird plant!
  18. >She stuck her snout to the ground and plucked out a green plant with her mouth.
  19. >Lyra levitated the plant out of Pinkie's mouth and towards her face, inspecting it.
  20. >"Hey, this looks like a tiny tree, leaves and all!" Lyra remarked.
  21. >Pinkie thought the green mare's observation over for a second before jolting in realization.
  22. >"Maybe the tree isn't tiny at all, but we're super big!"
  23. >"What? That's silly, Pinkie!" Lyra said with an air of superiority. "It'd take all the unicorns in Ponyville to get us big enough to dwarf a tree!"
  24. >"Maybe it's a HUGE prank!" Pinkie said, laughing at her own pun.
  25. >Lyra giggled. "We'll file that under 'maybe'."
  26. >Lyra looked around until she saw a mass of shapes on the horizon.
  27. >She pointed Pinkie towards the mass.
  28. >"I think that's where we need to go!" Lyra stated.
  29. >"It looks like as good a way as any!" Pinkie replied.
  30. >With that, they started towards the rising sun.
  31.  
  32. >The long, tedious walk began.
  33. >Both ponies made several attempts to stir up a conversation, but most ended with Lyra confused.
  34. >They agreed to wait until they saw somepony else until they tried to talk again.
  35. >After a while, they managed to make out what the mass of shapes was.
  36. >It seemed to be a curiously small city. Other than the fact that it wasn't even close to the size of a bedroom, let alone a city, there was nothing particularly interesting about it that either pony could make out from a distance.
  37. >"Hey! Someone was nice nough to leave this playset for us!" Pinkie exclaimed. She began to gallop towards it, but Lyra stopped her.
  38. >"Wait a sec, Pinkie. As fun as playing in a model city after walking for the longest hour *ever* sounds..."
  39. >Lyra began to have second thoughts. It didn't look like it could be a trap, and whoever owned the city obviously didn't care enough about it to leave it in the middle of nowhere.
  40. >"Disregard that. Let's bounce, Pinkie!"
  41. >Lyra began to prance toward the small city, with Pinkie following behind.
  42. >They reached the city in a heartbeat.
  43. >"Okay," Lyra said, examining the parameters, "You see downtown, and I'll"
  44. >"Eww!" Pinkie interrupted, "There are bugs in this city!"
  45. >Lyra looked down at her side to see that there were little figures scattering at the sight of her.
  46. >She shouted and jumped once she saw that the city was occupied.
  47. >This caused a huge tremor in the city, causing quite a few figures to fall over.
  48. >Lyra's thoughts caught up to her, and she decided that it was best to see what exactly was running away from her.
  49. >"Pinkie! Hold still! Don't hurt the bugs!"
  50. >Pinkie took a hoof out of the city and giggled nervously at herself.
  51. >She looked at the 3 or so red dots on her hoof and wiped them off in the grass, which she finally noticed was quite small itself.
  52. >Lyra lowered her face into the street where a few of the small creatures were getting up from her jolt.
  53. >She chose one of the creatures and picked it up telepathically.
  54. >The creature made a high-pitched screech and started to swing its limbs around in the air.
  55. >Lyra couldn't help but feel guilty for the poor thing, but the guilt was replaced with awe when she saw what it was.
  56.  
  57. >Lyra pulled back to her normal position with a gasp.
  58. >"Pinkie! Come over here and look at this!"
  59. >"But you told me not to move!"
  60. >Lyra sighed. "Do we have to do this now?"
  61. >"Alright..."
  62. >Pinkie circumnavigated the city while Lyra hovered the creature up to her face.
  63. >The creature panicked at how high it was. For its sake, Lyra focused all her attention on him.
  64. >Pinkie's approaching footsteps shook the world around the tiny specimen.
  65. >Pinkie stood next to Lyra and came closer to see the strange being.
  66. >"That's gotta be the fourth or fifth weirdest bug I've ever seen" Pinkie remarked.
  67. >"Well, it isn't a bug, Pinkie, far from it. This is a human! They're primates that have been said to walk the Earth long ago!"
  68. >"Primates? So they're little monkeys?" Pinkie shouted gleefully.
  69. >The volume of that statement sent the human into a panic.
  70. >Lyra gave Pinkie a piercing gaze. Pinkie felt guilty and decided to lower her voice.
  71. >"You could say that," Lyra replied, softening her expression, "I didn't really expect them to be this small though."
  72. >Lyra slowly brought the human to her ear.
  73. >"Mr. Human? Can you understand me?" she said.
  74. >Pinkie brought her ear closer, too.
  75. >"They're talking monkeys, too?"
  76. >The human, fearing what the massive horses would do to him if he didn't comply, began to choke out a very modest "Yes".
  77. >"Sorry, could you speak up? Louder?" Lyra said.
  78. >"Y-Yes!" the human shouted at the top of his lungs.
  79. >Lyra pulled him in front of her and Pinkie's face.
  80. >"Oh, this is great!" Lyra said, adopting a smile, "Oh, we can communicate! This could mean so much for the researchers back home!"
  81. >Pinkie pushed Lyra to the side to get a better look at her new potential friend.
  82. >"Hi! What's your name?" she said cheerily, but muted to the point where the human could be comfortable.
  83. >"You want to know my name!?" the human replied.
  84. >"Yeah! We can't be friends unless we know each other's names, and you heard my name, right?"
  85. >The human remembered that how the mint monsterhorse called the pink one. In hindsight, the name seemed pretty obvious.
  86. >"Pinkie?" the human shouted.
  87. >"That's right!" Pinkie said cheerfully.
  88. >The human looked over at Lyra. She looked eagerly and gave a warm smile to coax the human into a sense of security.
  89. >He looked back into Pinkie, who was leaning closer.
  90. >The human certainly didn't want to disappoint something that had a face he could comfortably live on, so he caved.
  91. >"My name is ____!"
  92. >Pinkie's face lit up. "Wow! That's a great name, ____! Would you mind telling me about yourself?"
  93. >"Yeah, I'm really interested in your kind, too." Lyra interjected, "We could talk about each other's lives, if you're interested."
  94. >"Well, could I please be put down first?" ____ said in response.
  95. >Lyra obliged, levitating him down on top of an office building on the city's edge and kneeling down to meet him eye level. Pinkie followed.
  96. >____ slowly warmed up to the two ponies. Both parties talked about their personal lives, their daily routine, their places of origin, and quite a bit else.
  97. >Other humans began to gather on top of the rooftops to look up at the spectacle of a man and two 250 foot tall cartoon ponies talking about desk jobs and making pastries.
