Lyra Heartstrings to Bon Bon:

I told you that they were real!

---

Light blossomed forth from Lyra's horn while her mare-friend cheered her on from safely behind two feet of reinforced concrete. The light, blinding in intensity, suddenly cut out without so much as a sound.

"Lyra?" Bon Bon hesitantly inquired.

As the blood quieted its pounding in the confectioner's skull, she began to hear a panting breath com from around the corner. Slowly, Bon Bon exposed her head. She gasped.

There in front of her very much alive mare-friend was a glistening ripple in space and time. "I *huff* did it, *huff* Bonnie!"

"You... certainly did. Well done, Lyra," Bon Bon agreed.

"Well done? Just well done? I'd say Awesomely done!" Lyra did a little happy dance.

Bon Bon smiled. "You are so much like your cousin, Vinyl, when you do that."

Lyra chuckled. "I know. COME ON! Let's go!" Without waiting for a reply, the mint-green unicorn launched herself through the portal into the world beyond.

"Wait! Lyra!" Bon Bon cried out as she pursued her lover. She too jumped through the portal, landing right next to Lyra who was standing - quite unexpectedly too - on a busy sidewalk next to a sign that read Nagasaki Chūtō Gakkō*.

While Lyra was in a little bit of shock from seeing all her theories finally be proven true, Bon Bon was a little more composed. The duo was surrounded by tall, minotaur-like creatures with small, squinting eyes, who were obviously just as startled by the ponies as they were of them.

"Sorera no mono wa nanidesu ka?" one of the creatures asked.

Another responded, "Watashi wa shiranai ga, karera wa sukoshi uma no yō ni mieru."

A droning noise sounded from overhead, causing all of the occupants of that particular sidewalk, pony or alien, to look up. Bon Bon spotted what looked like a solitary, silver bird flying overhead, but dismissed it as irrelevant considering her current situation.

"Bonnie..."

"Yes, Lyra?"

The mint-green unicorn never got to answer, as a brilliant light erupted from high above the city. The light of the spell that had brought them here, and that Bon Bon had called blinding, was a firefly in comparison to this light.

Their shadows were the only things left of them.

What are those things?
I don't know, but they looks like little horses.

Please correct me if I am wrong.
