Where are we going?” I ask as Lyra is taking us lower and lower into the ground beneath her house. “Because right now I’m getting creeped out by the fact that you have a house with 100 feet of downwards stairs...” This earns me another slap from the human-loving unicorn. “Just stop asking questions will you...” she says as I can see the stairs about to end. As we reach the door at the end of the hallway she speaks up “Alright, what you are about to see here is the greatest thing you will ever see in your life. No. Questions. Asked. And you must promise never to tell anypony about this, or I will make your life miserable.” My jaw is dropped after she said that. I completely didn’t expect that... and to think a unicorn pony in the background of a kids show was this hardcore... “I’m just kidding, you know that right?” Oh please Lyra, I’m watching you... “Ok, you ready?” I wonder what it’s going to be hopefully somethi- I stop dead in my tracks as she opens the door, because what I saw was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen in my life... Holy buck... I see dozens of guitars lining a marble tiled room, guitars from every guitar maker imaginable. Gibson, Les Paul, Ibanez, Fender, Squire, Manson. The whole shabang... The room of my dreams and Lyra had it all. “Oh my God...” I mutter. Still awe-struck from all the guitars in this one room. “Lyra, how did you get all these guitars?” I look back and I don’t see anyone. “Lyra?” “LYRA!” meh, she must have gone upstairs but I wonder why... I hear her come back down with an amp in her magical grasp. As she drops it in the middle of the room she plugs it into the wall and flips it on. “Go on, pick a guitar any guitar. It’s time to test you...” what? a test? “Alright” I levitate the Manson from its perch, and plug it into the amp, after checking the volume to make sure it was extra loud I say “What do you want me to play?” “Play 64th notes. continuously. for 30 seconds. I realized you were having trouble with picking speed and magical ability, so I thought being the amazing pony that I am I would help you.” Oh Lyra you’re too modest... Alright, here goes nothing! And that’s exactly what happened. NOTHING. My hooves couldn’t even move that fast. I turn around to see Lyra staring at me, not with a look of disappointment in her eyes but ‘I’m going to kill you’ look. “Um Lyra is somethi-” “Why...” “What?” Ok is everypony in this world bucking crazy today, or is it just me? “Why didn’t you tell me you were a human...” OH SCHIST. “I’m not a-” I try to explain, but am immediately cut off by Lyra. “Yes you are, the expression ‘ Oh my God’, lack of actual talent involving your hooves.” Dear god, she knows... what do I do now? oh celestia she walking towards me! oh n- After closing your eyes hoping the next few minutes weren’t going to be painful, I feel somepony wrapping their arms around me. “I thought I was the only one...” she says with tears coming out of her eyes. I look at her dead on in the face with tears in my eyes as well, we continued the hug for what seemed like hours. After she broke the hug her mood flopped... WHAM!!! She hits me in the face as hard she could. “ WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME?! UGH DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG I’VE BEEN HERE ALONE? TWO YEARS FOR BUCK SAKE!” “Lyra...” “WHAT DO YOU WANT.” she pushes me to the ground pinning all my legs, despite all the pain surging through my head and the places she has her legs standing on mine I manage to say something. Red spreading to my face from the awkward position we are in I say “ Lyra I’m really sorry for not telling you earlier, I’m being genuinely sincere. Now could you please get off me before you break my legs? “Sorry I might’ve overreacted there.” You dont say... “I’m going to be your guitar trainer, first what your going to do tomorrow when you get back from the hospital, is pick a fast as you can for at least one minute and keep doing it till you hit the 64th note mark.” “Any questions?” “Just one...” I ask in fear of my own health “ Why am I gonna’ be in the hospital?” “Because the Invisibility spell can’t be used more than a few times a day, and what, you used it about 30 minutes ago? And plus I think some of the mares are still out there.” “And I don’t have a back door.” she whispers to me with smirk on her face. “Buck...” The end I just wanted to thank you all for your support for my first story, for everyone who has liked, Favorited, watched me, or even read this.
