My Little Pony: Mint-Green Version

And so, with every problem slowly growing into mountains,

“Come on, you don’t put salt on a sandwich!” Lyra walked into her house and turned, entering the kitchen to see Blue standing on a chair as Green and Red tried to make lunch. Green was obviously annoyed.

“We know how to make sandwiches Blue! So shut up and let us make them.” Slapping her bread onto the bench, she leaned forward as Blue did the same, and they proceeded to glare at each other. Red finished his sandwich, put extra salt on it, and headed into the lounge room.

“Well, you’re making them poorly.” Blue smirked and picked up the bread, however Green slapped it out of his hoof. Their foreheads touched, and their glares intensified. They then proceeded to have the strangest argument Lyra had ever witnessed.

I send out Blastoise-I send out Venusaur-Charizard-Gyarados-Seel-Cyndaquil-Typhlosion-Feraligatr!” Both paused, and then leaned back and broke into laughter. Green quickly finished her food and took a bite, almost snorting it back up a moment later.

“I don’t remember the last time we did that, seven years ago?” Blue sighed and wiped away a tear as he continued to chuckle to himself. Green shook her head, a smile on her face.

“I’m not sure, it was around the time we learned a fish we could watch near the town grew into a flying snake right?” Green paused, and chuckled at her own sentence.

“Oh yeah, I remember that. We spent the entire week fishing for Magikarp. Gramps found out and forced us to put them back in the water.” Blue jumped off the chair and began to head into the living room. It was then he noticed Lyra, and smirked at her as he passed.

“Better close that mouth, you don’t want a Pidgey thinking it’s a tree trunk to nest in.” Blue leapt onto the couch beside Red, Green sitting on the opposite side. Lyra glanced to Twilight, and both sat down as well. Lyra pulled out the Pokeball holding Mewtwo and held it out to Blue.

“Oh thanks,” he spoke, putting it once more back on his belt. Turning, he made a tossing motion at Green and she snorted, almost choking on her food.

“Remember that time that stranger came to Pallet Town? Red didn’t come out of the house for a week.” Blue elbowed Red lightly, and chuckled as he paused in his eating and glanced to Blue. Red then continued eating.

“A little embarrassed there Red?” Blue leaned his head back and laughed, wiping away moisture in his eyes. Leaning in, he smirked and whispered audibly.

“It is ok Red, after all, you’re not as awesome as me, you’re bound to get a little rosy-cheeked from time to time.” Blue leaned back and his smirk turned into a warm smile, and he breathed out slowly, enjoying the moment. Lyra began to smile as well, suppressing a chuckle at Blue’s antics. It was a good thing he wasn’t drunk.

“Oh Blue, please tell me there is some way we can be as awesome as you.” Lyra pretended to swoon convincingly, and Green snorted, finishing her food off as she covered her mouth with her hand, trying to suppress her own amusement. Blue swept an arm around Lyra and pointed to the roof, letting fake awe enter his voice.

“Maybe Lyra, Maybe. But my awesomeness is so hard earned you would have to be twice as awesome to even qualify for my awesomeness.” Blue glanced down to Lyra as she faked awe, and chuckled quietly.

“Well you certainly exploded with a bang yesterday,” she rebounded, missing the wince as she closed her eyes to give a chuckle. Red and Green shared a glance, their moods changing in an instant. Blue scratched the back of his head, but smirked as he tried to rebound the conversation back into safer waters.

“Not as much as you when you defeated that kid who made fun of Red for having a girly Pokemon that day.” Blue chuckled and removed his arm from around Lyra, who turned, eyes still closed, chuckling, and spoke.

“Well I certainly didn’t stick around for the after party like you did eh?” Lyra elbowed Blue lightly, and opened her eyes, still not realising something was wrong with the smirk frozen on Blue’s face.

“Well, you did kinda force me into that situation,” he spoke, choosing his words carefully as slowly the smirk disappeared from his face. Lyra’s smile vanished in an instant. Green bit her lip, this did not look good.

“Nonsense, all you had to do was answer my question why and I would have let you off the hook.” Lyra narrowed her eyes at Blue, who scratched the back of his head and looked to Twilight, a question in his eyes.

“Don’t look to Twilight for escape from this Blue, we are going to talk about this and you are going to answer me.” Lyra forced Blue to look toward her. Blue winced as his neck cracked slightly from the force, but sighed and pulled himself away. Or at least, tried to. Lyra was much stronger than he was.

“Lyra sometimes I don’t want to have my friends know all my secrets, can’t you just leave it alone?” Blue sighed and closed his eyes as Lyra forced him to face her, and opened them as her glare deepened.

“No I can’t because there is obviously something you three know that I don’t about being a pony that is a death sentence and I want to know what.” Lyra growled as Blue once more tried to get out of her grip.

“And I said please don’t ask me about it!” Blue narrowed his own eyes, and stopped fighting to get free from Lyra.

“You know, maybe I should ask Red instead. Even as a freaking mute he has always given more answers than you have in your desperate attempts to appear cool.” Lyra growled once more in anger, her voice raising as she basically shouted at Blue.

“If you want to be actually cool then maybe you should be more like Red!” Lyra noticed the change in the three humans the instant the words left her mouth. Blue and Red both stiffened, while Green’s eyes filled with a blazing anger.

Blue turned, breaking free as if it was nothing, and exited the house. Lyra was silent, before her eyes finally began to widen as she realised what she had said. It was only then that Red stood up, and left after Blue. Green also got to her feet, but she paused in front of Lyra and looked down on her, giving her the most damning look Lyra had ever received, before following Red and Blue out of the house.

Twilight bit her lip, knowing if someone were to see them they might get captured, making all their work for nothing, and quickly headed for the door. There were a few illusion spells she could use to mask them, at least as long as a Growlithe wasn’t looking for Red and Green. Pausing at the door, she glanced back once at Lyra, before heading out the door.

And so, Lyra was alone.
