| 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. |
| 30 | + | >With that, they started towards the rising sun. |

| 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. |
