Peace times 1 part 1
Having felt the first relaxing slumber in ages, Miles was a bit unwilling to get up when Lyra prodded his face with a hoof, his eyes closing tighter for a bit. However, a poke in the cheek with her horn caused the human to sit up, rubbing his face, much to the amusement of the unicorn. To her, he looked pretty silly with a case of bed-head and being half-awake, and he wiped his mouth, realizing there was drool on his face.
"S-sorry.."Hhe apologized instinctively, but all he got was a gentle nudge. Staring at him with her tangelo eyes, the unicorn only offered a soft smile as motioned for him to get out of the bed. He did so, but immediately turned his attention back to the bed as he began to fix the sheets. Lyra did nothing to stop him, preferring to observe her human's behavior while he made the bed.
"So...." Skylark started, rubbing the back of his head, the unicorn's ears perking. "Do you happen to know where I could wash up?" he asked, blinking when her ears flicked
"Oh! You humans take baths too?" She asked, an excited form of curiosity evident in her tone as she motioned for Skylark to follow her. A few moments of walking, his footsteps drowned out by her hooves, and the two had made it to the bathroom. "Did your world have something like this?" she asked curiously, and the human blushed a little.
"Yeah, something like it...though it wasn't nearly as cool as this one looks." Skylark replied, stretching and rubbing his neck before Lyra turned on the water, although instead of running a bath, she had turned on the shower.
"It gets even cooler! It's like cleaning yourself with rain!" She tried to encourage the human, who smiled meekly, which she noted was a little strange considering how brutal of a fighter he had been the previous night. "There's a block of soap and a bottle of shampoo if you need it." she added in, pointing out the pink block and a blue bottle respectively before the human nodded.
"Thank you." He smiled, taking off his tattered shirt, revealing a slender, yet toned physique. He was about to take off the pants, but then stopped as he realized that Lyra was staring at him. "Uh..." he trailed off, feeling uncomfortable as he nearly stripped himself naked in front of his master.
"Oh! Please, don't mind me." Her response surprised the human, who's face turned a shade of pink before he sighed softly. I guess I can't really protest, can I? he thought as he dropped his pants, but stepped into the shower and moved the curtain quickly to at least obscure himself a little. The unicorn chuckled softly at his behavior before using her magic to pick up the tattered clothes. "Take as long as you need, Sky" She smiled before leaving the room, allowing the the human to start cleaning himself in private. The first thing he grabbed was the bar of soap, feeling the water foam on his hand as it ran across the pink bar. It felt strange, but the bar itself smelled really sweet.
Against his better judgement, Skylark tried to bite into the bar, only for the horrible taste to coat his tongue, his eyes widening before he desperately washed out his mouth with the shower water. It took him a while, but the human had finally figured out how to use the soap as he was rubbing it against his body, scrubbing himself clean. As the filthy water went down the drain, Skylark had already looked much cleaner than he did- but he actually began to enjoy the feeling of the warm water washing down on him- working the soap over his left arm, where the blood from last night had dried. Smiling softly when he saw that there was no scarring- he quickly finished soaping himself- rinsing the bar off before placing it back on the shelf it rested on.
Meanwhile, Lyra had been outside, taking out the trash as she put the tattered clothes in and closed the lid. A smile spread on her face as she looked back at her house. I bet he'll love not having to wear those shreds. she thought as she trotted back into the house. Reaching in the closet for a towel, she smiled when she heard the water being turned off and made her way back to the bathroom. "Hey! I brought a towel for you." she called to her human, using her magic to throw the towel inside the room. She watched as he dried himself off, taking in his uncovered appearance as best as she could before he wrapped the towel around his waist. Her eyes then focused on a light purple crescent moon on his left shoulder- just where it met the neck.
"You sure do clean up nicely!" Lyra's eyes were sparkling from the new sight as she gave him the compliment. It was easier to see him blush and murmur an unsure 'thank you?', which only served to make him that much more amusing to the unicorn before he blinked- realizing something.
"Hey, I don't mean to be rude...but do you know what happened to my clothes?" He asked, but saw a wide grin spread on his master's muzzle. He was worried the moment he asked, and this would be proven that it was with good reason once he heard her answer.
"I threw them out." She told him the truth, much to his dismay. Seeing his disappointment, the unicorn hoped to get this to be better than he thought. "Come on- those rags would have made you look awful!" She tried to reason with him as he took a deep breath.
"It's not that. It's just- those were my only clothes. With all due respect, Milady, I can't just walk around naked- and keeping a towel around my waist all day will just be plain silly." He stated his concern, but the unicorn only smiled, clapping her hooves together for a brief moment.
"I have just the thing for that." She responded, and within a few long minutes, Skylark was finally wearing some clothes. Although, he trembled and blushed all the while- turning out to be very awkwardly wearing a pink formal gown.. It was very weird, as it only covered his lower body.
Better than being stark naked, I suppose... He thought, looking at his master as she smiled.
"My old gown looks cute on you! It really brings out your cutie mark." she complimented her human, who raised an eyebrow.
"A cutie-what now?" he asked, but then realized when he glanced at the crescent moon marking on his body. "This?!?" he asked, pointing at it before receiving a nod from Lyra.
"Yeah!...Oh? You don't know what a cutie-mark is?" She asked before turning around, showing off her flank, running a hoof across the area where the picture of a lyre stood out. "It's a mark all ponies will get- when we find our special talent- the thing we are destined to do." She continued to explain. "In my case, my talent lies in playing the harp." she finished.
"Lyre." He corrected her playfully, causing the unicorn to blink.
"It's the truth! I got my mark as soon as I-" She tried to defend herself, only then realizing what he said. Her face turning pink, Lyra put on a deadpan face. "You just had to make that joke, didn't you?" She asked, but before she could get any form of answer, a ringing was heard from outside. Looking at one another before Skylark offered a shrug, the duo made their way to the door, which Lyra opened. "Oh! Hey Twilight, how are you?" Lyra asked upon seeing who had pulled the rope for her doorbell.
"I'm fine, all things considered.." Twilight Sparkle started, being cut off once Rainbow Dash caught up to her and burst into laughter at the human's situation. The three looked at the blue pegasus before the purple unicorn turned her attention back to Lyra. "I was wondering, would I be able to borrow Skylark for today? I mean, aside from your theories and..well, 'research'- we know nothing about humans. This would be a great chance to study him and conduct a cross-examination with the notes you have written down." She stated and justified her request, and the teal unicorn thought before nodding.
"I don't see why not. Just promise me you'll figure out everything you can about him." She agreed, to which the purple unicorn nodded with a smile, nudging Skylark softly. "You're alright with following Twilight Sparkle, right?" she asked, and the human put his arms to his sides, bowing his head slightly.
"Of course, Milady...Oh! There should be something sewn on the inside of that shirt you threw out." He informed Lyra, who's ears perked up. "I don't know how much they would go for here- but perhaps they'll help you?" e added, and bid adieu to Lyra, who went to get the shirt back to see what he was talking about. He had to ignore the strange looks from other ponies until Twilight Sparkle had gotten him out of earshot from Lyra, Rainbow Dash not too far behind while snickering at the fact he was wearing a pony's dress. Eventually, he had enough and looked right at her.
"I know it looks silly- but there was nothing else available!" he defended himself, his cheeks red as a cherry before his stomach growled- which only made Rainbow Dash laugh even more from the sudden change in mood. Twilight Sparkle noticed this and smiled softly.
"We were going to take you to Carousel Boutique to see if Rarity can set you up with some more..dignified clothes. But Sweet Apple Acres is the same distance from here-" She tried to suggest, but Rainbow Dash had cut her off with a question of her own.
"Wait, can humans even eat apples?" The pegasus pony asked abruptly, causing Skylark to laugh softly.
"Yes, humans can. We can eat just about any kind of food, really." he replied with a smile on his face before Twilight decided to try something, opening up a notepad and scribbling down something.
"Where do you want to go first then? We can stop by Sweet Apple Acres and see if Applejack will teach you about apple-bucking- or we could go to Carousel Boutique to get you a better outfit." the unicorn asked. Rather than just sticking to common sense, Twilight Sparkle wanted to start her studies and take note of the human's choices. He crossed his arms and tilted his head as he thought about this. He wasn't starving, but it would become a nuisance later on. On the other hand, he didn't know how long he could tolerate wearing Lyra's gown.

Heh, Rarities. She'll have a fit.
Rarity's.
Yep, rare rare's a go...
Rarity please, I would prefer the only human in Equestria to at least be wearing clothes fitting humans.
Rairity, Let the guy regain some dignity
I have done that before
Great chapter, by the way.
I vote Applejacks. I want him to buck trees in a pink gala dress while Rainbow makes fun of him like she does in my dreams
Either way, should be amusing

Wow, that was fast. Looks like I'll need to start writing the chapter sooner then ^^

Quality over quantity
2879499
True, but I mean- part of me wasn't expected that readers would vote so quickly. :P
2879563
You've created something beautiful, exciting and, probably most importantly, new, and thus, a fanbase is born.
Like FiM season one
Besides, if readers are given the option of choosing the actions of a character/s in the story, they shall descend like a swarm of buzzards.
2879881
To the first part- Wow...really? That means alot
to the second part- about the 'descend like buzzards'- Oh, that's true.
2880018
Just don't give us too much freedom. It will ruin the story for everyone.
If you don't mind my asking, will the cmc make an appearence in this?
2880040
I will admit this right now- I don't know how to pull off the cmc too well. While it is always possible that they will appear at some point in the Peace Times segments, I currently don't have any plans for them in the major storyline.
perfect solution! raid lyras fridge then rush to rarity!
2880077
If he tried to do that, Lyra would force-feed him to burst with all sorts of random stuff.
2880084
Fair enough about the cmc.
Towards your comment about force feeding and Lyra:

Can...not...unsee!
2880389
Hahaha! Sorry
Want me to pass the brain bleach?
2882137
I tried brain bleach once. Couldn't think for 3 days. I must have bleached everything else in the process.
2884507
Haha fair enough
I just remembered the sex tag. Any hints as to what's going on there
2884633
I'll leave that for you to imagine
2884768
Ooh lovely
But seriously, you don't want to spoil it, right?
2884836
I don't wanna spoil it.
2884855
Fair enough
I look forward to the next chapter
2887911
Hmm. In the words of Princess Celestia, "I have a lot to think about".
Thanks for the hint though
