Lyle had watched plenty of movies and played a good amount of games, some with the tragic “You can’t go home” effect added in, they never seemed to go into this too much but now that it had happened to him, it was really more painful than they do show you!
The feeling of being denied the chance to go home forever is quite depressing, sure it’s technically 300 moons but to Lyle, it may as well be forever, HE. DID. NOT. BELONG. HERE!
So for the past few days after that, Lyle was quite depressed, something of which he though he’d never be and for that matter, so did everypony that knew him, so much that he actually shedded tears, not openly but Twilight and Applejack did spot it but said nothing.
….
“Okay it’s been three days and he’s still depressed!” A voice rang out, belonging to Twilight Sparkle.
“Well, it must be completely heartbreaking to be denied like that” Rarity responded reasonably.
“But he should of calmed down by now” Twilight replied back in annoyance
“Um…if I say something…if that’s ok with you…” Fluttershy starts.
“What’s up?” Dash asks
“Well, we should see thing from his point of view, wouldn’t you be upset if you suddenly couldn’t come home for a very long time?” Fluttershy asked her friends
There was a murmur of agreement but Applejack spoke first “Ah still reckon he oughta calmed himself down by now”
“Maybe…” Twilight muttered to herself.
“Oh come on! He needs to quit being a pansy and grow a pair! He was practically banging the rock hoping for a portal to appear a couple of days ago” Rainbow Dash blurted out.
…
2 days ago…
“Alright Rock, I know you still have that portal and I’M GONNA MAKE YOU GIVE IT TO ME! CHHHHAAAAAAARRRRRRGGEEEE!!!” Lyle screamed as he charged at the rock
Lyle hit the rock as hard as he could with his fists but to no avail but pain did come.
“COME OUT! (WHAM!) YOU STUPID (WHAM!) PORTAL!! (WHACK!)” Lyle yelled as he pounded the rock
Lyle puffed and he finally grown tired and walked back to the library but before he did he put a threatening look the rock.
“I’ll be Back!”
…
“And that’s not the worst part” Rainbow continued
“So what are we going to do about it?” Rarity asked the gang.
“A SUPER-DUPER PARTY!!! Like a Sorry-you-didn’t-make-it-home party!” Pinkie said excitedly
“Pinkie…” Everypony else started
“I’ll go get the Party Cannon!” Pinkie said, rushing in a pink blur.
“(Sigh) Why do we even bother sometimes?” Twilight asked herself
….
Lyle was out at the same bar area they dined previously; he had been in that bar for three days in a row now. He had met the bar’s owner named Berry Punch who seemed to take a liking to the human. Yesterday, he bumped into Vinyl Scratch, a DJ that goes by the name of DJ-PON3 on the stage and a mare who was more into classical music called Octavia who Lyle was reminded of an old friend who liked classical music.
So Lyle was in the same spot he was always in, drinking some cider. A thought occurred to him on how his mother and sister must be feeling, a week he has been gone. There was no apparent way to get back and assure them he was okay, Lyle was full of guilty feelings, he should of just jumped into the portal instead of giving these ponies precious time! But Lyle also swore on everything that he had heard a demonic voice when he jumped in, almost as though it were denying him his ticket home.
He Missed his family…A LOT!
"Lyle, you really gotta stop drinking so much man" Berry Punch, the owner told him.
"I'm fine, and besides it helps me" said Lyle.
"Not too much though, and besides you're more depressed than a Pegasus losing their wings in an accident" Berry pointed out
"I guess...I just miss my family more than I thought I ever would before I came to this cartoony Hellhole" Lyle said as his thoughts reflected to them.
Lyle had no idea exactly how his family and friends were going but he guessed not good, any hopes of the internet were gone as all of Lyle's technology was not with him when he teleported.
Then again, no one the other side knew what was happening here and they wouldn't believe it anyway...
…
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, Planet Earth
“Still haven’t found Lyle?” a young teenage girl spoke out.
“No they haven’t, they’ve looked everywhere in the city and they haven’t found him yet” a older female voice spoke out.
The two humans conversing were none other than Lyle’s mother and Younger sister, it took them a whole day to realize that Lyle had just vanished into thin air, no sign of a struggle in his apartment at all, although there was a scorch mark but nothing more.
The Police were called and started the search at once and so did Lyle’s few friends who also noticed him missing, it was most unlike Lyle to disappear willingly as he loved sticking to this city but there was no sign of kidnapping.
Over the course of a week, messages and everything were sent to Lyle’s phone and facebook and everything. Lyle's little sister decided to check Lyle's wall again in false hopes he had messaged something.

Sarah Alexander

Bella Cowan
Sweetie, I’m worried! Everybody around been saying you disappeared without a trace, I tried calling you phone and I got nothing and I tried searching everywhere you might go for you and I can’t find you! Was it something I did? If I did, I’m sorry alright? Just come back to us please! If your mother freaks out any more, I’m afraid she’ll get a heart attack in worry.
Donna Dawson
Lyle, this is your younger sister, Donna. Mum is really stressed out and it’s only been four days, she fears for your safety and I do too as your younger sister, I know Mum is trying to be strong but she’s be crying herself to death for the past three nights!

Lyn Dawson
Lyle, Son…where are you? I came to your apartment to discover you’ve been missing, I tried all of your friends and co-workers but they haven’t seen you, is everything alright? If you’ve been hurt or worse, I don’t think I can bear the thought it may be because of our argument. I just want my son back! Safe and sound! We love you so much Lyle, no matter what happens, remember that.
Yesterday…
Daniel Dawson
Lyle, I know we haven’t really talked since the divorce and I know you’re mad about that but that gives you no excuse to just disappear on us! I came home from work to discover your sister telling me that you’ve gone missing! I may be a bad father in your eyes, but I don’t want my only son to be any danger! Please contact one of us and end the worry! I’ll look for you myself if I have to! Remember, your mother and I love you very much, no matter what happens.
Today…
Bella Cowan
Lylie sweetie, it’s been a week! How could you still be gone? I MISS YOU!!! I felt it, that feeling as though you may not be coming back for a while, it worries me! I don’t want that to be true! I love you, always have and always will! I’ve been worried out of my mind, all of us have, your mother is in a right state, we all have you in our thoughts in prayers.
Thomas Anderson
Ok, seriously! This game is not funny anymore! You win the stupid game! NOW COME BACK HOME!! Did I do something wrong? We’ll make amends and go back to the way things were meant to be! JUST SHOW YOUR DAMN FACE AND STOP FUCKING HIDING!!!!!

Sarah Alexander
Lyle, if you are playing a very cruel trick on us, it’s not funny anymore! Tom is really pissed, he thinks you’ve been hiding somewhere because of something. If you’re mad at him, I understand but can you please let us know you’re safe. You're our friend Lyle! Bella hasn't cried so much tears since her mother died and i think anymore and she will snap just like Tom has.
Now…
Edward “Speedy Gonzales” Jackson
Dude, dick move! Tom’s in a bloody rage that you won’t show up, he almost got himself in serious trouble, your mother’s depressed beyond belief and you’ve appeared everywhere on TV and the local papers asking if they’ve seen you. Why? I want to know why you’ve disappeared and why aren’t you coming back? Your sister was practically praying to god for you to return and she’s an atheist at that too! COME BACK! Please?
To Lyle's family and Friends, it just wasn't the same...
Who knows what Lyle is up to or if he even is alive anymore...

Meanwhile at Canterlot Castle…
The Two Royal sisters were arguing in the throne room, what about? Celestia's plan to reform the spirit of Disharmony and Chaos itself, DISCORD!
“Sister, you cannot be serious!” Luna said in disgust to his sister
“I’m serious Luna, I believe Discord can be reformed and the Elements of Harmony are the key to that” Celestia stated her plan clear as day.
“But Discord almost won last time he was set free” Luna argued
“Even he can see the error of his ways, we will not argue this any longer, tomorrow we will reform Discord” Celestia said as though it were final
“Fine! But if the world ends up in chaos because of this silly reforming business than you’re on your own getting it back”
“Lulu…” Celestia started but Luna was already out of the door
It’s time…
