She was in a hallway in what appered to be a huge scintific facility. "I bet there are humans here! I'll have to go and-" a fat grey humanoid thing ran up and hid behind her. "Hey, talking horse thing, you wanna buy me some time?" It asked her. "Um who are you?" "That's not important, but you can call me Roger. Anyway, there's this guy over with a gun, go talk to him." Lyra gave the alien a suspicious glance, and walked down the hall. Seeing the agent, she trotted up to him. "AH! ANOTHER ALIEN ESCAPED!" Lyra looked hurt. "I'm not an alien, I'm-" The agent hit her over the head with a blunt rock, because you know, scientific facilities are filled with blunt rocks just lying around. When Lyra came to, she was strapped to an operating table with several saw, knives, and hammers attached to a large machine hanging over her. "Ok, I'm screwed." "That you are!" A scientist said over an intercom, as he was in the operating booth behind 3 feet of bulletproof plexiglass. Suddenly, the wall was broken down by none other than Marty McFly, who unstrapped Lyra and rescued her from certain death. "Lyra Heartstrings! You are invaluable to the future! We need you, right now!" Lyra didn't argue. Running through a series of other blasted holes in walls, they eventually made it outside, where a delorean was waiting parked. "you guys are lucky I watch all the Back to the Future movies, or else I would be freaking out right now," Lyra told them. "Ok, time to go to the future!" The Doc said, turnign the car to face a brick wall and hitting the gas. "WHAT THE HELL?" "Ok, we've almost reached 88 miles per hour!" "Hurry up Doc, there's a wall ahead!" shouted Marty McFly. "We're gonna die, you fucking humans!" Lyra screamed, covering her eyes. With a flash of light, the delorean broke through and shot into the future just before hitting the wall. 2015 The place that was once Roswell, New Mexico, was now a beautiful park, with the same wall that had been there in 1948 still standing. "Should we take down that wall? It looks kinda tacky," one of the workers said, eyeing the wall. "Nah, someone else will do it," said Bawb, his lazy co-worker. The delorean shot directly into the wall, blowing up and killing everyone and everypony inside. "See, I told you." Once the smoke cleared, the two workers saw that the wall was still standing. "Wow, that's one tough wall."
