//------------------------------// // Never look a friendly pony in the mouth // Story: Alternate Mane 6 // by MLPxBRONYx44 //------------------------------// If I'm going out to dinner I might as well look good. Colgate was contemplating what to to wear to dinner.Would she wear something simple, like her white dress, or something colorful, like her blue and green dress? "I'll wear my green and blue dress." Colgate had finally made her mind up, she left her house and was ready to leave. She made her way over to the restaurant called Corral, she entered and was asked if she had a reservation, but she had no idea and she did not the teal ponies name. "uh...uh" she had no idea what to say, "do you have a reservation ma'am?" Before she could reply a voice sounded from the distance,"Over here!" A teal figure was standing up yelling as loud as she could, Colgate was getting embarrassed, but still sat down at the table. "Hey, uh, forgot you're name. Colgate put a big smile on as she waited for the pony to finish her tea."My name is Lyra, Lyra Heartstrings" Colgate could now remember it, she told her what her name was just before she asked her to dinner. "Dr.Whooves will join us in a second, I'm sure, he is just finishing up some research" Colgate forgot all about Whooves joining them, " Oh I almost forgot he was joining us" Lyra got a smirk on her face, "You seem to forget a lot" Colgate was, again embarrassed, but had to agree with her. "I have been forgetting a lot lately, I wounder if I'm sick" They both shared a laugh and was interrupted, "What would you like to eat, ladies?" Lyra was ready to order, while Colgate was not. I'll take a hay and jelly sandwich, please" "What kind of jelly would you like?" "Blueberry if you have any" The waiter then asked Colgate what she wanted," Uh.... just what she's having, that'll do" The waiter took our menu's and left. "Hello ladies, how has you're day? I'm sorry for being late but I was working on the research" Colgate was so confused about what they were talking about, what was this research about? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Friends are special.....friends are forever" Pinkie pie kept singing a song about friendship. "Pinkie, can you please stop singing?" Rose was trying to tell pinkie to stop singing but she could not use a loud enough voice. "Friends......love, love, love" "Pinkieeeeee!" Blossom had to scream at her just to get her to stop singing. "Yes?" pinkie was fluttering her eyelashes," I think that's enough singing for tonight" pinkie seemed to be alright. "Alright, but remember friendship is, FOREVER!" She just vanished, not saying anything else. "Why was she singing?" Rose must not of known about pinkie being extremely random," She must of known about us all being new friends" Derpy's bubbly personality had for once again been right about the situation. "Well I just met you guys, can we really be called friends?" Rose let her shyness get the better of her. "Of course we can Rose , you were there for me when I needed friends the most" Derpy must not know about Rose being anti-social and shy. "Derpy, we can be friends, right Rose?" Rose was doing her signature move of looking at the ground when being addressed,"Oh, if you want me to be you're friend, i guess we can" Rose was not very convincing at being a friend. Their food arrived and they ate, Derpy blew bubbles in her drink until she blew to hard and caused her drink to explode all over face. Something amazing happened after that, Rose luck smiled and laughed so hard she made hay juice come out of her nose. That must have been the most fun of her life, she laughed and laughed and laughed. Maybe being friends with Rose and Derpy wont be to bad after all! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After dinner at Corral, we went to Lyra's house, and Colgate found a surprise, Lyra's house was covered in papers and books. "Well this is a very clean house you have, Lyra" Lyra didn't pay much attention to Colgate's comment, she was to invested in the papers plastered all over her walls. " Uh...Mr. Whooves, what is wrong with Lyra?" Dr.Whooves already expected this," Lyra is obsessed with her research, even cost her all of her friends" This did not shock Colgate, she had seen the signs," What is this..." Dr. cut her of, he already knew the question. " The research is about a mythical species she labeled as 'humans', and now she spends every second trying to prove they exist" Colgate was, again, not surprised, though the humans part did. She never heard about them before. "I've never herd of humans before" Whooves had, yet again knew she had not heard of them, "You've never herd of them because, using Lyra's theory, Celestia is covering it up" Colgate was , treated to another thing that surprised her, " Is she crazy, Celestia would never do that" Dr. knew this reaction was normal, many could not even talk about this, but Lyra is to hellbent to see the truth anyways. He himself may not even know it as being the truth. " I don't know if it's true or not but her research shows some pretty hard facts to dispute about humans, and she thinks that if it wasn't covered up then we would know about them" Colgate did not believe but she knew one thing, Lyra needs friends, her obsession is not healthy , and she should not get sucked into it. Lyra went upstairs, they waited 10 minutes and she still did not come back down. " we better go check on her " Whooves seemed pretty concerned about her. "ZZZZZZZZZ" Lyra was sleeping! It was only 7:21 P.M. " Why is she sleeping? Its only 7 P.M." Dr. went over to her desk and found a calendar with the 3 last days crossed off. " She must not have slept for the past 3 days" Dr. did not seem to concerned with this fact. "Well we better leave her alone, come I'll fill you in " -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 3 ponies left the restaurant and went back to Rose's house, since she had no wings she could not walk on clouds. "Wait so in school you put a tack in the teachers seat?" Blossom was finally starting to open up to her new friends, as was Rose. They entered Rose's house and found her place to look like a jungle of flowers. " Man you have a pretty house, Rose" Derpy was loving the flowers in her house, "Oh, I was thinking you would think I was weird, but thanks, Derpy" Rose was smiling and was taking a chance at opening up so much. " It smells wonderful in here" Blossom thought she might as well be nice to her new friend, she was nice and if I'm nice then maybe she will no longer be shy all the time, around everypony. Rose was so happy, she was having the time of her life, she had finally made friends. To end the night they stayed up for as long as they could talking about life, love, past and present, but fell victim to the sand pony. They fell asleep at Rose's house. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (the last one was short but i was running out of ideas. Don't worry they will all meet at one point. I hope this will please all who want longer chapters.)
