The birds chirp calmly to the morning sun, the sounds of the creatures ring throughout Lyra's otherwise vacant estate. The green mare's eyelids feel the sun's mighty light through the window. She opens her eyes tiredly, shaking her head slightly and looking down at her cutely stuffed bear that she'd gripped onto last night, and nights before.
She faces directly toward the window, her back still resting on the soft fabric; she admires how beautiful the sun looks today, an aura of wonder passing through her body. She stretches, yawns, and cautiously gets out of bed; rubbing her solemn eyes from the tired state they're in.
As routine she presses on to the bathroom, brushing her teeth, taking a needed shower, mundane things that she's never lost the energy to do. She steps out of the small, and now steamy, bathroom.
She walks through the narrow hallway, approaching her saddle bag in the process. She looks in the confines of her leather pouch, making sure she hasn't forgotten anything, and starts eagerly to a new day. She opens the door slowly, the outside looking so-
"Eek!" Carrot shouts, surprised and a bit scared to see Lyra at such a convenient time. "I-I was just about to knock!" The frantic orange mare says.
"You... were?" Lyra tilts her head to the side slightly, surprised to see Carrot Top at her door once again.
"Y-Yeah, I... was." Carrot grabs hold of herself, she takes a deep breath, and looks toward Lyra with a small grin. "I was wondering, if you aren't busy anyways, if you maybe wanted to hang out for the day?" Carrot asks her dear friend, unsure of the response she'll get back.
Lyra stares at Carrot, even though Lyra will never understand why she herself is so appealing to some ponies, she welcomes it nonetheless.
The green mare takes her eyes off of her caring friend, lifting her own hoof to examine whatever is on it; a small bracelet resides on her front hoof, showing greatly in Lyra's eyes, with the help of the morning sun. A bashful smile appears on Lyra's face, a smile she almost thought went extinct a year ago. She sets her hoof down, looking again to her friend, she retains her same happy expression.
"Yeah... Yeah, I think I'd like that." The two venture off, to Lyra, the colors of Equestria are starting to glow vividly once more.
