Lyra woke up, yawning and reaching for the light.

Something was up...

Lyra yawned again and stood up, only to shriek and fall over, landing on all fours. 

"What the...?" Lyra asked herself as she tried to stand up again. It was like her legs were made of jelly, and she could only walk like some animal. 

Lyra snarled and tried again, only to be met with the same problem. The light was off, so Lyra couldn't see herself. 

Lyra sighed and imagined herself magically turning on the light, and pretty soon the top of her forehead was glowing and the light switch flipped on. 

Lyra gasped in shock and shrieked as she fell over. 

She was lying on her side, and she couldn't stand up. She met herself i9n a sitting position, and looked across the room towards her mirror. 

She wasn't no human. 

She was a Unicorn. 

Lyra let herself scream at the sight of herself. A Unicorn? What the heck? 

Lyra tried to calm down, but it was no use. She let herself release another scream, then she realized it was still very late at night. She tried to quiet herself, breathing in and out slowly. 

"What... am I...?" Lyra asked herself as she "trotted" over to the mirror. 

As Lyra shrieked again, and a white Pegasus appeared in front of her.

The Pegasus glared at Lyra, her eyes narrowed. 

"Can't you be quiet around here?" It asked Lyra, her eyes glaring an almost evil red. 

Lyra shrieked again, and the Pegasus placed a hoof over Lyra's mouth. "Shut up..." The Pegasus moaned. 

Lyra looked like she was about to scream again, and the Pegasus's eyes flared red in rage.

Lyra gasped silently and made herself calm down. 

The Pegasus nodded and removed her hoof from Lyra's lips. 

"Now," the Pegasus said. "You asked for your own world, and I've given you it. Many call it Equestria, and your job is to shut up and pay attention."

Lyra made herself a cozy sitting place as she nodded slowly. 

"This isn't entirely all yours though." Lyra frowned. Not entirely hers? That sucked!

"There's a ruler here, and you've gotta follow her rules. Understand?" The Pegasus glared her eyes at Lyra, who quickly nodded. 

The Pegasus smiled devilishly, and disappeared. "You do well now..." 

Lyra looked around herself and wondered, What does she mean it's not all mine? That's not what I asked for!

Lyra frowned and walked around, she was getting used to her hooves and stuff. 

She opened the door a crack, looking through. 

This wasn't her home...
