>Clear skies were present in the afternoon as you recently decided to take up your own exericse routine
>Exercises that took place in your living room, of course.
>You wore a standard headband, a pair of blue shorts, and a standard white shirt
>The headband was actually hoof-crafted by Rarity. It was a soft red with a pattern of white stripes.
>Outside of Equestria, you were not really a fit guy, but ever since domesticating in Equestria, your diet has obtained a large amount of pastries and deserts.
>The deserts and pastries were only most of the few things you could eat considering that the other alternatives were hay and other pony things.
>The forms of exercises you performed were lunges, push ups, and various others as well as stretches.
>All these exercises you did are all performed horribly and terribley described in a popular pony show called "My Little Human"
>Why "My Little Human" was on your mind is because earlier before your work out, you scheduled to watch it with one of your pony friends, who happened to be a huge fan of the show.
>Many moments of push-ups and pulls up later, you take a drink of water and wipe sweat from your forehead.
>Checking on your progress, you flex your right arm.
>You could tell that you were, in fact, making progress. You could notice visible tone that could only get better.

>Your concentration on your developing muscles was suddenly distracted by something green at your front door window
>You gaze over to see Lyra staring at you
>It seemed that she blushing and even drooling. At least you think she is?
>She suddenly broke out her strange face and waved at you. A sheepish grin grew across her face.
>You give a small smile and wave back to the green unicorn.
>With a twist of the front door handle, you open the door, revealing Lyra right at your porch with a much more anticipating smile.
>"H-Hey, Anon! What's up?"
"Nothing much anymore... I was just doing my usual work-out."
>"Yeah... I... saw that! U-Uh... So, you ready to watch?"
>You think back to her strange look from when you gazed towards her when she was at your window.
>Was she watching you work out? How embarrassing... Unfortunately, you're sometimes slightly self-concious about that sort of thing.
"You bet! New episode today, right... ?
>"Uh-huh! Zia Felly is taken as an apprentice to the king this episode!"
>As Lyra wandered into your house and plopped herself down onto the usual spot she sits on, you couldn't help but chuckle to yourself.
>The fact the show represented modern humans, but they had things such as 'Kings' was quite silly to you.

>You were especially glad that your friend was over, considering that she was pretty much your only friend in Equestria so far.
>Your lack of friends in Equestria comes from repetitive 'events' with the other ponies, mainly  in Ponyville
>Most the ponies hit on you... some even take it to more physical or forceful levels.
>This sort of behavior discourages your interaction with other ponies, but Lyra was an exception.
>You sit down on your couch right beside Lyra as you used the remote to your television to flip on the TV.
>Flipping through the channels, you arrive right on 101. The show was starting as you could tell by the station's notification.
>The show starts, playing It's usual opening. An upbeat song that displays all the main characters of the show.
>Lyra, as she does whenever you two watch,  slightly hums along with the theme. Not against your liking,
of course. She is a big fan afterall.




>The show played off with it's standard introduction, like most cartoons.
>Despite Lyra's obession with it, it didn't entirely peak your interest, but it didn't hurt to watch.
>The show has often been considered to be only for young ponies, but in your opinion, it was rather well written and very well designed.
>This time, you hardly paid attention to the episode.
>You don't really know why, you usually do pay attention.
>Suppose you just dozed off.
>What you did catch was the end of the episode, which was Zia giving the usual moral of the episode.
>In this case, It was based on respect and consideration.
>As the credits roll, you noticed that Lyra was still staring at the television.
>She was crying, and was biting her hooves.
"Lyra... What's wrong..?"
>"N-Nothing! I... This episode was just so awesome!"
>That's right, you remember. This show totally throws Lyra's emotions around.
>You always have to get many tissues for when they happen to play an emotion-stirring  song in the show.

"...You sure you're okay?"
>"Mhm... Thank you... for watching with me, Anon..."
>Lyra grew a small smile and lept up to you, hugging your abdomen.
>With her forelegs wrapped around you in a loving embrace, she gently nuzzled you, rubbing her head on your chest. Her mane became slightly rustled.
>You figure she was emotional at the moment, so you returned the hug for a brief moment.
>After a long moment of hugging, she still wouldn't let up.
>This was getting a bit awkward for you.
"Uh... Lyra?"
>"Mm... Yeah?"
"You can let go now..."
>"O-Oh! Uh, right..."
>She gives a big sigh and releases her grip on you, as do you.
>Lyra laid back down on your couch with a very satisfied face. Your embrace must of made her feel better! Good!
>"So, uh... Thanks again, Anon! Are we still eating at Squiggly Sams for Breakfast tomorrow?"
"Of course, Lyra."
>"Great!"
>Lyra lept down from your couch and made her way to your front door. She used her magic to turn the handle, opening the door.
>She gave a very brisk wave at you
>"Bye, Anon!"
"See ya, Lyra!"
>And with that, Lyra left.

>The very next day, you wake up early in the morning, feeling rather good.
>It feels like that exercise routine of yours has really been paying off with extra energy for the day.
>Checking your wrist watch, it displays the time at 7:12 AM
>Your scheduled breakfast with Lyra is at 7:45 AM
>Enough time to get ready, of course.
>You swing yourself out of bed with your new found energy.
>There was a spring in your step as your feet hit the floor and you traverse your way to your bedroom's bathroom.
>You quickly undress from your clothes and switch the shower on.
>Several moments of morning stretches later, you hop into the shower, which was now fully heated up.
>You follow your average shower routine. Body wash, Shampoo, Conditioner, even brushing your teeth.
>Most people don't brush their theeth in the shower, but you figure doing it in the shower saves time.
>Stepping out of the shower, squeaky clean and such, you grab a towel to dry off.
>You also grab your wrist watch, which was displayed at 7:29 AM
>Just enough time for you.
