"That had been a long conversation." Said Lyra.
They where on Sophia's room, Lyra was lying on a inflatable mattress, and Sophia was lying on her bed.
"It surely was." Answered Sophia, as she remembered the shocked face of his father after finding Lyra at the kitchen.
It had been a long talk, and although his father was about to refuse, a single bit from Lyra was enough to convince him to let her stay. 'As long as you don't curse me or my daughter, you could stay. But if something happens that... horse, would have to leave the house' where his exact words.
"For the fact." said Lyra. "I wont curse you."
This joke caused both girls to start laughing at the idea. Lyra would never curse anypony, even if she know how to do it.
"Your father is a very strenge pon... I say 'person'." said Lyra. "Just one of my bits was more than enough for him to let me stay. I say, it was just a little of gold, right?"
"Actually gold is very rare here on earth." she said. "And it wasn't just a little, that coin was HUGE!"
"So what do you humans use as currency?" asked the mare with curiosity.
"Wait." said Sophia, as she stood up from his bed, searching for her money box. "This." she said showing her a money bill.
"This!?" said the mare. "This its just a piece of paper, how could any society use this as currency."
"To be honest with you Lyra, I don't understand it either." said her human friend.
Meanwhile, at his bedroom, Sophia's father was walking side to side, thinking on how it was possible to a mint green unicorn to be at his house, or even more incredible, HOW IT WAS POSSIBLE FOR HER TO EXIST! He studied several times about the earth's ecosystem, not that he needed to do it, and that thing talking with his daughter was not anatomically, biologically, or even logically possible for that thing to exist.
"At least seems harmless." said him. "And already paid for his lodging." said as lifted the giant, golden coin that mare gave to him.
In the coin he could read: 'Celestia the princess of equestria recognize this coin as 1 BIT'. It seemed too heavy, too shiny, simply too detailed to be fake; but it couldn't be real, or that would mean that a world full of talking horses exists.
And his mind refuse to believe it.
Upstairs, the girls were having an unofficial sleepover, quiet and awkward, but a sleepover after all. Sophia didn't remember the last time she had a sleepover, and she was very glad that this one was with Lyra. And the mare was also enjoying the company of her new friend as they discussed the obvious question: How Lyra got here.
"The earth amulet!?" asked Sophia. "That's a pretty weird coincidence!"
"What do you mean by coincidence?" said the mare.
"Well, today I went to a museum of ancient European history, and a light beam also was beamed to me from 'the equestrian amulet'." said the little girl. "Tell me, how is this 'earth amulet'."
"Well... it has human figures at both sides, has the word 'Earth' on its front, and a blue stone on its center; although it become dark after beaming that ray to me."
"Pretty similar to the equestrian amulet actually." concluded the girl. "But this one has three ponies at one face, one pegasus, one unicorn, and one earth pony; on the other side it had two alicorns, the smaller one had the moon above her, so I supposed than it was Luna; the other one was much larger, and had the sun above her, so I supposed it was Celestia. It also had a blue stone on its center, but it became dark after beaming me."
"That's very interesting." said Lyra at noticing the similarities between both stories. "Maybe we could go to that museum tomorrow!" said the mare thinking excitedly about walking among the humans in one of their cities.
"Yeah.. maybe." said Sophia with a worried expression on her face. "If you are not worried about being kidnapped by the government or something."
"You have reeded to many sci-fi books." responded Lyra. "Even if they catch me, I could just teleport back here and the problem would be solved. Besides, I really doubt humans wouldn't accept my presence after showing up on the streets for one week or two." sentenced her, with a smile on her face.
"Well that... could be right." concluded Sophia. "Anyways we'll figure it out tomorrow, its already midnight and I didn't sleep well last night." she stated as a big yawn appeared on Sophia's face. "Are you sure you don't want my bed Lyra? Its more comfortable, and you are my guest after all."
"I'm sure, besides I already bothering your father with my existence, and affected your life by coming with no invitation."
"Well, if you are sure." said Sophia suppressing a yawn. "Good night Lyra."
"Good night Sophia." said the mare before disconnecting of the reality, and into the dream realm.
"LYRA THIS IS NOT FUNNY!" said Bon-bon. "WHERE ARE YOU!?"
Bon-bon has just wake up, and she wasn't funding Lyra anywhere. This was strange, beacouse even though Lyra was a very wired pony, she never leaved the house without at least a note. Well... she would never leave the house without a reason at a Saturday morning!
She was searching her in all the rooms of the house: the kitchen; the living room; the bathroom; and finally after breaking the door, her bedroom.
The door was locked by the inside, and nopony responded to her VERY repetitive knocks, so finally she decided to break it.
Inside there was nopony as she expected, and feared; she walked inside, analyzing the room to get at least a clue of where Lyra had gone.
And then, she found it, the newspaper that showed a museum, and pictures from several angles of an amulet with human images on it.
"Oh Celestia, PLEASE TELL ME SHE WASN'T PLANNING TO STEAL A 'HUMAN' ARTIFACT FROM A MUSEUM!." she knew lyra, she knew she wouldn't do something THAT extreme just to prove humans are real, right... right? But then she saw Lyra's wall, a huge 'red stringed map' that was all connected to a picture of the 'earth amulet.
"THAT STUPID CRAZY INFANT UNICORN!"
Meanwhile, on earth, Lyra and Sophia had just wake up, and they were about to have breakfast.
"So, what do you want to eat Lyra?" asked Sophia.
"I could eat almost anything." Lyra responded. "As long as its not meat, and don't worry. I know you humans eat meat, but don't worry, I know your animals are not nearly as intelligent as ours."
"Oh, that's good to know." said Sophia worried about the this part of human alimentation. "I'll take it in account, so what do you want?"
"Nothing that will bring you too many troubles, just some hay would be enough for me."
"What!? hay?" said Sophia
"Yes just hay." said Lyra just trying to be nice to Sophia. "The simplest thing ever."
"Sorry Lyra." said her friend. "But as humans we don't eat hay."
"WHAT!?" Said Lyra, although she knew humans eat meat, she didn't expect this, after all, hay was the base of the diet of almost any creature back in equestria.
"Well, this is unexpected, but what do you eat then?"
"Any kind of plant as long as its not poisonous, any kind of meat, milk, and eggs."
"Well, then a rose's flower sandwich will do just nice." said the mare.
"Well... actually, we can't eat flowers, so..."
"You gotta be kidding me." said the mare a little frustrated. "Well then just some scrambled eggs with bread." she said, now expecting that bread will be a human killer poison.
"Ok, I can do that." said Sophia starting to search for the eggs.
"Wait, you know how to cook!?" asked Lyra, amazed by her cooking abilities at the age of 9.
"Yes, grandma taught me how to cook several amount of foods." said Sophia with happiness, but her face quickly become sad as she remembered what happened to her.
"What's wrong?" said Lyra after noticing her friend's sad face.
"I just remembered that she is on a coma, and probably won't wake up." said Sophia doing his best to hide her emotions.
"Wait she is on a coma!" said Lyra. "And nopony wake her up."
"No, the doctors tried their best but her case is almost a lost battle, although dad would never let his mother die."
"But wake up somepony from a coma its super easy!" shouted Lyra. "I'm not a doctor, but any unicorn doctor could perform a spell to..." Lyra stopped, she just remembered that the human world doesn't have magic. "Oh sorry Sophia, I forgot that magic doesn't exists here."
"Don't worry, if I visited equestria, I guess I'll do something stupid, like trying to charge my pho... WAIT, YOU CAN WAKE HER UP FROM HER COMA!?" said Sophia with renewed exitement.
"Well as I said I'm not a doctor, but I guess than trying won't hurt anypony" said Lyra thinking of how horrible would be to stay in a comma for to much time. "We can go and see her after breakfast!"
"REALLY!" said Sophia excitedly.
"What is all this shouting!?" said Sophia's father as he entered the kitchen.
"LYRA WOULD WAKE UP GRANDMA!" shouted Sophia.
