Space

To seek new life (edit)

"I can't stay here for too long" I said to Lyra.
"Aw, why not?" she asked giving a pouty face.
"I'm going to give you 3 reasons why i can't stay. 1 The space is WAY to small for me, I mean my ships living quarters i bigger than this ones. 2 All the male ponies are still staring at me like I'm a monster, its kind of creeping me out. And 3 I have to make sure that you ponies are the native species of this planet." I explained to the little mint green and white pony.
"Can i come with you? You know i kind of want to see bon-bon." she asked kind of embarrassed to say 'bon-bon'.
"Wait is that a ponies name or is it a candy?" i asked.
"She's my wife." Lyra said plainly.
I tried hard not to laugh but a smirk escaped which was blocked my helmet.
"Uh, ok i guess but i might be uncomfortable since it's a one man pod and all." i said
"Does this mean i get to sit on your lap!?!?" Lyra asked excitedly pushing of the station walls and all over the place.
"Er, uh yeah i guess?" I said nervously.
"Well let's get going" she said pushing with her hind legs and catching me in mid air.
Once we were outside in space i had to unlock and de pressurize my cabin before it could open. Once that was done Lyra and I got inside the pod and she gasped at how big it was.
"This is kind of spacey don't you think?" she asked since it was only for 1 man.
"Well most of it is just coms. equipment so no it's not very big" i answered.
She asked more questions that i had to unfortunately answer.
Before she started asking more 'intimate' questions, the computer blared,
"Atmosphere detected, sit down and strap in. Prepare for entry heat." After that i went in to auto pilot and strapped the cooling hose to my suit and Lyra's suit. I fastened the straps and prepared for the heat to come.
