//------------------------------// // Stupid Hole. // Story: Lyra in wonderland. // by Appl3dashie //------------------------------// "And so I found out there was a mirror in Canterlot castle!" Lyra smiled. "I still can't get over the fact that you broke into Canterlot castle and found that strange mirror before going into it!" Bon Bon replied. A warm breeze passed by them. Sugar Cube corner was busy as usual. Ponies coming in and ponies coming out. But Lyra and Bon Bon had settled down for a nice cup of tea with biscuits. "Oh come on Bon Bon! It was literally amazing. Until one of those stupid guards saw me jump in and brought me back home." "Lyra, those guards were protecting you. What if you were lost in the human world. How would you get back?" "But I wouldn't get lost! I'd come back on the first night for goodness sake!" Lyra groaned. Sometimes Bon Bon did act like her mother and Lyra was the child. "Oh really? Well if you got lost for three days would you survive thirty moons until you could come home?" Bon Bon questioned. "I... uh... DON'T STRESS ME!" Lyra flipped the table and trotted off leaving Bon Bon filled with horror. Her head was full of anger. Her face was red and her eyes shone brighter then ever. "LYRA GET BACK HERE NOW!" Bon Bon screeched. Lyra obviously ignored. Like she'd listen to Bon Bon at a time like this. "Gotten lost in the human world. Ha! As if." She headed towards the park. "I need to calm down a bit." Laying down on the grass she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep. "Would you just move!" Lyra's eyes snapped opened and scanned all around her. "Ahem!" She looked over to her right to see an impatient white rabbit staring back at her. "But can't you go around me... And anyway who are you?" She said staring back at the creepy little rabbit. "But I'm late! I'm late for a very important date!" "Rabbits go on dates? Weird..." "OH JUST MOVE!" The rabbit yelled. "Fine!" Lyra shuffled over to the side. While she did that the rabbit tapped his foot on the ground four times and the ground opened up revealing a massive hole big enough to fit a stallion. "Hey where you going?" Lyra curiously peeked down the hole. "I'm very late. Come if you must but do be quick." He hopped down the hole. Lyra cautiously looked around in case some pony saw her but it seemed eerily quiet. But still it was a weekday everypony might be at work so she to hopped down the hole and into the darkness. "Hello? Sir Rabbit!" She yelled out only to hear her echo. "Dang it. He's probably reached the bottom... say.. how long is this hole?" It seemed a long way down. "Hahaha!" A child's laugh bounced around her. "Finally! Civilization here I- Uh oh.." Chairs and tables appeared out of the darkness. A falling candle next to her appeared. It was enough to light the hole. "What the.." "HAHAHAHA!" The child's voice boomed again. "SHUT UP!" Lyra growled. "I just want to get to the bottom." She looked down again. Something white and black was down there. Getting closer. Closer. Closer. Closer. SMACK. "Oh man..." Lyra groaned. She'd landed on a checkered floor with checkered walls and random brown doors. "I wanted to land but not hit the ground." She got up rubbing her head and went around to explore. "I'm very very very very late!" The rabbit from before sped past her. "YO CAN I COME WITH YOU!" Lyra yelled at him. But the rabbit kept on running down the checkered hall. You aren't getting away that easily! Following the rabbit Lyra sped at top speed down the hall with him. Twisting and turning down passages until the rabbit sped up and disappearing behind a door. "Drats..." Lyra panted. She spotted a glass table down the end of the hall. With a box on top. "Maybe that box might have something to eat in it." As she got closer she realized the glass table was massive. "Aww man. I can't teleport that high nor grab it with my magic." she pouted. "I just wanna go home!" She sat down crushing something underneath her. "Huh?" It was a biscuit. With a note that said- EAT ME In big bold letters. "Oh man! I was supposed to eat that biscuit!" She licked up the crumbs from the floor hoping they'd have some reaction on her. She chewed the biscuit savoring the taste. "Crunchy... Lemony... Sweet... Bitter..." She muttered while chewing. "Eh... It wasn't that- WHOA WHOA!" Her size started growing and growing and growing until she was as tall as the table. "HECK YEAH! I AM.... SUPER LYRA!" She laughed. "Excuse me I'm late for my very important date!" The white rabbit came stumbling back into the hall holding his pocket watch close to his chest. "O-Oh my!" Lyra stared down at the tiny figure. "Where are you going now?" Her voice boomed causing the rabbit to stumble back. "T-to Wonderland miss." He then tried to look over her shoulder but because of her size that was pretty much impossible. He only saw a glimpse of a wooden box behind her. "I-I must say you should really look in that box." "Oh yeah the box." She turned and opened the box (which wasn't easy without nearly crushing it.). Inside was a bottle filled with red liquid and a key. "I-is there a golden key in there cause I kind of need that..." "Well this was useless." She tossed the key over her shoulder (which narrowly avoided hitting it.) and stared at the bottle. "Oh no. This is the part where I'm supposed to drink the liquid and shrink. But that ain't happening." She crushed the bottle with her hoof. "I gotta go to the palace." The rabbit started racing off but Lyra caught him in her magic. "The palace eh?" She thought for a second. "Show me where is this palace." "Okay okay okay! Just please let me go." She dropped the rabbit. The rabbit headed to a tiny door to the right and started unlocking it. "HEY HEY CAREFUL!" The doorknob seemed to be... speaking? "I'm so sorry that I'm doing this." The rabbit replied. "And who is this monster?" He looked up at Lyra whose menacing golden eyes stared back at him. "YOU CALL ME A MONSTER!" She shrieked. "HOW DARE YOU!" "I'm sorry..." "Step aside." Lyra grinned. The rabbit obeyed her orders and moved away. "Please don't tell me your going t-" The doorknob stammered. "CHARGE!!" She smashed through the wall revealing a colorful forest. Pink trees, purple bushes, blue flowers it was weird but magical. "I am in so much trouble!" The rabbit cried and started running down a path. "HEY YOU COULD THANK ME!" Lyra yelled. She then sat down crushing whatever beneath her. "I wonder where that doorknob went?" A sharp pain emerged from nowhere in her stomach. "Oh..." She moaned. BANG She dropped to the floor like a stone. "EEEK!" it echoed through the forest. Rustling leaves and breaking saplings. Lyra closed her eyes and prayed nothing bad would happen to her. When she awoke everything seemed bigger. She'd then realized she had shrunk back to normal size. The cookies effects had worn off. "No more super Lyra..." She muttered. "Hello there!" A bird on two legs and pink feathers streaked with orange ran up to her. "Having a bad day?" "Uh no. And anyway what are you?" "I'm the Dodo! I'm holding a race want to participate?" "Sure!" "Just... RUUUUUUUNNNNN!" The dodo raced off down through bushes. "Heh.." Lyra followed after chasing the dodo. He was very fast. Very very fast. Lyra could just keep up with him until a tiger jumped over her and ran through the bamboo. "HEY WATCH IT!" Her only response was a growl. "How very polite of you." She muttered under breath. "I am oh so very late!" The white rabbit scampered in front of her. "Hey! It's him!" Lyra steered of the path stalked the rabbit into a clearing. "Oh my oh my oh my! I seem to have gotten lost!" The rabbit panicked and ran in circles causing dust to fly everywhere. "Oy! What's your problem?" Lyra said coming out of the clearing and grabbing the rabbit with her magic. "I have no time to talk I need to be at the palace i-" "Yeah! I know. And anyway why didn't you take me to the palace in the first place. Huh? It's not like the Queen or King will kill you!" "You are very wrong! As a matter of fact she'll have your head off before you can move a muscle!" The rabbit explained. "We'll I'm telling you. Lead me to this darn castle or I'll have your head off!" Lyra snapped. "I'm gonna put you down and you better lead me to this castle or we're gonna fight!" "No! I'd rather fight a horse then guide a horse to a castle!" The rabbit shook his head continuously. "Fine! Lets see who'll win." Lyra grabbed his chin and stared him in the eyes. She threw him down and backed away preparing to fight the animal. The rabbit charged at her and bucked her on the muzzle. "Hey!" She yelled. But the rabbit was sprinting through the trees as if his tail was on fire. She growled and snorted. Oh I'll find him. And when I find him he will wish he'd never left me. She thought. I'm getting quite hungry. Maybe there's some oats or something around here. She started wondering through the bushes thinking there would be something good (besides boring old grass.). Eventually she found some apples and daffodils and started eating them along with some grass. Seriously though I wonder if the rabbit will mention me to the King or Queen? Meanwhile as the rabbit was running... "I wonder what that green horse was doing here. Most strange. I also don't feel good by having her as an enemy. I'd better keep my distance and report this horse to the Queen. I may be another Alice and we do not need her again thank you!" He mumbled to himself while running. Back to Lyra... "Well that was nice. Maybe I'll find a way home. I'm beginning to feel a bit lonely." She trotted around in some more bushes to see if there was any signs of civilization. Unfortunately there was only birds and butterflies. "Oh look brother a pony!" A jolly fat boy came running up to her from behind a tree. "Oh my how very delightful!" Another came running in from the left. Lyra started backing away from these two. Where they dangerous? What the heck are they doing to her? And why are they so... fat? "Hey back off!" She snapped at one who tried to touch her mane. "And it can talk Tweedle Dee!" She looked over to the one who was standing on a rock. "Are these seriously what humans are?" Lyra sighed. "And when I thought they were cool..." "I beg your pardon!" The left said hooking his arm through the right one's arm. "How very rude!" The right said. "And for that we shan't recite our favorite song. The mare with golden eyes!" Lyra sighed and started heading off with they stopped her. "Are you from around here?" They asked. "Uh no." "Then you need to go to the castle!" "No I don't..." "Of course you do! You need to introduce yourself to the Queen!" "I said I don't and that's that." She snapped and started trotting off. "Oh dearie me brother it seems we've made that pony mad!" "Whatever shall we do?" Lyra snapped. She couldn't take anymore of these people. She broke into a sprint and ran faster then a bullet down the lane. Running and running. Twisting and turning until she was far enough away from them. She broke into a trot and then just walked from there. She sat down exhausted from running. Until a big shadow loomed over her.
