//------------------------------// // Determination // Story: The Last Human // by Silver Shiner //------------------------------// The Last Human Chapter 1 ( Determination ) That's the last straw!! “Every single night for the last week! She has woken me up with her screaming, this time I'm going to let her have it!” A door opened quickly slamming into the wall. Revealing a dark bedroom with a certain pony screaming in her sleep. Noooo.... Let me go!!! Lyra wake up!! Lyra!! “Whaaaa... Whaaaa... Where am I?” “Your Home Lyra, in your bedroom. Its okay your safe.” “Oh.... Oh think goodness.... Thanks Bon-Bon.” Said Lyra breathing heavily. “Your welcome.....” Bon-Bon said sarcasticly as she stood up from kneeling down to wake up her friend. “I woke you again didn't I?” She asked as leaned up from the bed. “You think? Lyra you have been screaming in your sleep every night all week, what is it that's troubling you so much that you can't even get a good nights sleep?” She asked with a tone of compassion in her voice “I... I keep having these dreams.” Bon-Bon looked at her friend worried of the repercussions of her next question. “What kind of dreams?” “Well I keep having this dream where I'm in a strange place and I'm Having a conversation with this voice about some kind of destiny about........ humans...” Pausing for a moment realizing that Bon-Bon hates it when she brings up humans into a conversation. “Alright That's enough! Lyra you have been fantasizing about this made up creature long enough. You and I both know that they don't exist. There just something you made up when we were fillies. Which is were they belong a story for a filly, so please just let it go Lyra, Please.” “Bon-Bon I didn't make it up, it's real!” She yelled as Bon-Bon turned around “Lyra I'm not talking about it anymore I have had my fill of all this talk of human's. I'm going back to bed, and I don't want to here anymore about human's ever again!” Bon-Bon yelled as she slammed the door and left the room. Lyra thought to her self. (It's been like This ever since we graduated from school. Bon-Bon had finally had enough of all my talk of something that she believes doesn't exist. She felt since they were adults that I should start acting like an adult. And that meant that she felt that it was time for me to put away this obsession with my so called imaginary creature from there child hood........... But I just couldn't let them go...... I didn't know why but the thing I found so amusing as a child was just as fun as an adult. I knew that Bon-Bon didn't approve of me having anything to do with humans. But that never could stop me, I began doing what humans did. I started walking on two legs, I sat down like they do, I gave references to them even when I was the only one who knew what it meant. Bon-Bon finally caught on to me and did all she could to ignore it. By this time me and her had moved in together as room mates. I paid half the bills bought half the things we needed and did half the chores. It kept her quiet about my actions for a long time, even though I noticed that she constantly rolled her eyes and groaned. But she did her best to deal with my actions, after all we've been friends since we were fillies, and she didn't want to lose her childhood friend. Which I am most grateful for I don't know what I would do without her she's stayed by me through thick and thin. But I don't understand why she wont believe me. She's my best friend, and she thinks I'm crazy. Am I crazy?........... Is it really that simple?............... Could that be the explanation?........... NO! That's not it I know I'm not crazy, Humans are real I just know it! And tomorrow I'm going to find somepony who will believe me. And who knows maybe I'll even find proof of them. ) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lyra woke early the next morning excited and confident that she would either find proof of humans and or somepony who would believe her. She arose out of bed and got ready to leave the house. She walked to the bathroom down the hall in between her room and Bon-Bon's room. She grabbed her hair brush and fixed her mane just the way she likes it. Then proceeded to brush her teeth. After she was done she began to leave the house as quietly as she could in hopes not to wake Bon-Bon. ( Shes already mad at me enough, no need to add waking her up this early to the list. ) She thought to her self. Once she was safely out of the house she began to talk to herself on how exactly she should go about finding proof. “Alright today's the day, time to set out and find somepony who will take me seriously. But where do I start There's a lot of ponies in Ponyville.” Lyra thought to here self for a while until she got an idea. “Oh I know!” She shouted excitedly. “The town library, there has to be a book on them or something I'll head there first! Who knows maybe this will be easier than I think.” Lyra set off to the library with quick haste. Running through town quickly without paying any attention to any of the pony's saying hello or trying to get her attention. She soon arrived at the library. Walking up to the door, before she was even able to knock the door swung open almost hitting her right in her face. Standing inside the door was a yellow Pegasus with a pink mane. She had a look of shock and grief on her face. “Oh Dear! Are you okay? I didn't hurt you did I? Oh I'm so so so so so so so so sooooo sorry!! If there is anything I can do to help you just let me know. I would be grieved to know I hurt you and left you in this condition.” “Uh.... yes, no, it's okay, and um I'm fine.” She said putting her hoof to her chin, following with a smile. “Oh thank goodness. I would have been heart broken if I had hurt you.” “Oh it's fine. So uh is this your library?” Lyra asked hesitantly. In fear she might cause the yellow pony to trail off on another set of questions about her well being. “Oh no I don't live here, but my very good friend Twilight does. Are you here to see her? I can go get her if you want. I wouldn't mine especially since I almost hit you earlier.” “Oh okay that would be great, thank you um....” “Oh my name is Fluttershy I'm sorry I didn't tell you my name earlier. I was just so worried that I had hurt you.” “Oh it's perfectly fine, my name is Lyra, Lyra Heartstrings, Its nice to meet you. She said extending her hoof for a shake. Fluttershy just looked at her hoof with a look of confusion. “...........So about this twilight.“ ”Oh I'll go get her just come on inside, no reason for you to stand at the door. You wouldn't want to catch a cold.” “Okay sure, thank you.” Lyra gave a nod, then proceeded to walk into the library. ( Wow! Well that was weird, oh well. I wonder if this Twilight will be able to help me. I sure hope so. )
