//------------------------------// // 20% cooler // Story: Split heartstrings // by LibraryoftheHive //------------------------------// I'm just standing here in awe in front of this revelation! I cannot believe it! I'm hardly even questioning it, but... "I'm a UNICORN!!!", I cry out, prancing around the chamber, not bothering to think about how I even got here in the first place....(wait, aren't these my thoughts....nevermind)"I'M A UNICORN.........A UNICORN!!!" "Yeah, well when you're done stating the obvious, can you please explain what you're doing in here, Lyra?" A voice? Here? It sounds odd, as if it's speaking a language that I haven't learned, but understand. "H-h-how do you know my name?"I reply, trying in vain to hide my shaking voice "Well," the voice said, this time with a friendlier tone," I'm your friend! I should know your name... You do remember me, right?" With that, a pony...flew....out of the shadows.....Wait, FLEW! A FLYING PONY! "A FLYING PONY? THIS DAY IS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER! I SHOULD LEAN AGAINST STATUES MORE OFTEN!" "Umm..." The multicolored pony tries to reply before I start bombarding it with questions. "How do you have wings?" "Well, I'm a..." "Are you a complete different species then me?" "Well, I th-" "How are you able to stay off the ground with that small of a wingspan?" "Hey! I.." "OHHH, I have sooo many questions for your, I don't even know where to start!" "Well," the pony said, a hint of annoyance in it's voice, "how about I start with one.." "Go ahead..." I answered, hardly hiding my excitement! "WHAT THE HAY ARE YOU DOING IN HERE AND WHY ARE YOU ASKING ALL OF THESE QUESTIONS THAT YOU ALREADY KNOW!" I just stood there, taking in that sentence. And then, it hit me... "Oh, that's right, you think I'm a pony," I said, " You must learn this kind of stuff in pony school! Hah, silly me! No, I'm actually a.." "Let me guess, a human!" ................ "You're wondering you I know that, right?" The pony, which I'm sure is a female, said after seeing my reaction." It's because you're always so obsessed with them! Come back to the real world, Lyra! You've got friends here that care a lot about you and you keep on letting them down!" "B-but..." "No buts! I'm taking you back home. Bonbon must be worrying about you..." "Wait....Bonbon is he-" Before I could say anything else, the pony picks me up and carries me out of the window.
