The Human

by -Twilight


Human Anthropology

I’m sorry I don’t have any books About such Things
Said the purple unicorn clearly not even paying attention to who she was talking to, she didn’t even make eye contact because she was so engrossed in her own book.
The purple glow of her unicorn magic raised the book in front of her eyes Totally blocking the green unicorn from sight on the cover of the book read “Trolling for eggheads”, by princess Celestia. Twilight then continued
by saying “ Perhaps you can look in the fictional or mythological creatures section cocking her head to the
bookshelf to the left. Lyra wanted to shout out “The aren’t fictional!” however instead she just let out a large sigh and head towards the bookshelf. On the bookshelf
read many different varieties of books, Most of them for novels not factual books. Lyra knew that most of these creatures were not real, there were books about monsters like; Mummy ponies, zombie ponies. They even
had the daring do series most of were taken that’s when twilight said “If you want a daring do book you have to wait all of them beyond book 5 is reserved for rainbow dash”.
That’s where Lyra saw it at the very bottom a dusty yet untouched; Human Anthropology, It looked like any normal book but to Lyra This book was amazing, amazing that she could ever find such a exact book about Humans. Recalling what bonbon said; “Study of humans
As they call them is strictly forbidden”. But Lyra being as obsessive as she is just had to take it out.

As Lyra was walking to the service counter something struck her she realized some reason why she couldn’t take this book out; Twilight if anyone was Celestia’s personal student Taking out such a book would certainly bring a large amount of suspicion the thought just came to Lyra; “Dear princess Celestia today my friend Lyra came to my library and took out the oddest book about
Huma-....” Lyra’s Thought Was cut off by
twilight's voice “Hello? Lyra, You ok?”
“Uh yes I'm fine” Lyra shook her head with a light nod
“ I'm going to take this out” Lyra said, sweat rolled down
Her face and past her snout, twilight didn’t seem to notice however. “Um Are you sure your alright” Twilight said with a concerned look. Lyra then repeated herself
“Uh yes I'm fine”, Pulling the worst poker face.
“oh i see” twilight said, sliding the book across her horn
Not looking at the front of the cover. As twilight set the book down Lyra snatched it from the counter and quickly
Trotted out of the library

Later that afternoon as Lyra stood outside her “half-owned house” she look at he doorknob most ponies just walk into the house the doorknobs were just for show they never really turn i mean why would they only dragons had anything remotely close to hands and of course humans, Lyra thought to herself the word “humans” it was such a interesting word for her if you asked any pony else about humans the first word that they would say would be is “fake” but to Lyra human meant so many different things to her it was their complexity that got her attention; their intelligence,
Their Ability to walk on two feet, their lack of hair, But the most amazing thing that interests her was their “hands” these extensions to their arms That they used to grasp this. Ponies in Equestria used their mouth to grab things and unicorns used levitation but humans, humans as the books say; can’t use magic and their teeth are not strong enough to really do anything but eat and bite.
So they use these hands to operate things. As Lyra got back onto track still standing outside of the door. The purple door began to glow with a green aura as the door creaked open the house was pitch black.
After stumbling in the seemingly endless trial of darkness it was clear bonbon was not here.
It was a hard, tiring day and Lyra Couldn't really read at this time of night,Lyra put the book inside the shelf in her
study which is usually locked even though she only lived with bonbon and bonbon knew exactly what was in there she still would respect Lyra's privacy.
still she hid it on the shelf locked herself in and went to sleep.

The next day Lyra woke up to a rather delightful smell the smell of hayfries,and the smell of cinnamon rolls probably
for desert Lyra rolled out of her bed and dragged herself down the stairs the fresh smell of cinnamon rolls filled her
nose until she arrived at the table to see bonbon across from her already digging into the steamed hay.
It was a rather quiet Saturday morning no words were spoken at the table as Lyra was trying to decode what was going on in bonbon thoughts. Her brain was not readable and you would never know what was wrong until you ask and if it was your fault Celestia have mercy on you. Lyra looked away and back to bonbon and said " Okay if its something i did then spit it out" Bonbon then looked up and said "Where did you go yesterday" Lyra's Heart stopped Bonbon continued
"Twilight came over late last night, far after you were asleep" she said you forgot to take your receipt.
Lyra knew that the receipt had the name of the book on it so Lyra asked the question any paranoid pony would ask
"D-did you read it" Lyra said sweat rolling down her mane. Of course not, Bonbons face turned into a smile
i'm just mad that twilight had to come so late and couldn't wait until tomorrow. Lyra worried face turned into a blushing smile of relief. Lyra turned around and walked upstairs.
As she was trotting up the stairs again bonbon finished by saying "I do however know what it is though Lyra's
heart stopped again and felt like it was gonna explode, twice, Lyra then turned her head slowly at bonbon's still smiling face, at this point she almost looked like Pinkie pie with that little random song she sang for that donkey about a week ago. "Don't worry my lips are sealed" bonbon told her "Just be sure to no drag me along into this."
Lyra gave bonbon a thankful smile as she walked into her study, she had a lot of studying ahead of her.
