Lyra Heartstrings' instrument of choice is an odd one, for a pony, at least. Then again, she had an odd teacher, too. When that teacher's legacy leads to Lyra being summoned before the High Council of the Griffin Empire, a desperate for work Gilda accepts a job as bodyguard for the unicorn, and the two become involved in events far larger than they ever could have imagined.

Inspired by the song of the same name by the Silversun Pickups.

All she needs is a shoulder to cry on. A friend, to listen, to understand, to comfort her.
And that's what Derpy's getting, right?
Or is it?
Is it enough to act like a friend?

This is the true test of a good friend. Can Derpy do what she knows is right? Or will she succumb to her torn emotions?

What is the right thing to do?

Hard, long, difficult -- take your pick. Any of those words could describe Derpy's day, delivering mail and packages to ponies. She patiently sits inside Mr. Calzone's restaurant awaiting her order.

Derpy, with her oath pledged, sets off to deliver a pizza and claim hers with a bonus. A week's worth of free pizzas, it's probably worth a bit of trouble, right?
