//------------------------------// // Chapter 3: Quick Adoption? // Story: Saiyan of Equestria // by Boyzilla //------------------------------// Pony Saga Chapter 3: Quick Adoption? Lyra awoke from her nap, Another dream about her own imaginary world about creatures called humans and their fascinating hands. Like every dream, when Lyra learned something new about humanity, she would write it down in her dairy. However this recent dream differed from the rest. Lyra dreamt of a young human child, and unlike the other humans, this one had a tail. And not only that, but the human was trapped in a white building running for what seemed like his life. Lyra dreamt of him meeting a evil human, it was a shame she could not tell if the young human could talk yet or not. The young human seemed to have conjured blue fire engulfing its body, then jumped out of the window. Finally Lyra heard a big explosion, then woke up. Writing this down in the diary, she put it down so she could read her dream later. "Lyra! Lunch is ready!" yelled a familiar voice. "I'll be right down Bon-Bon!" Lyra closed her dairy and put it under her night stand, then proceeded to head downstairs and give her housemate a good afternoon. "You sure are sleeping in late more." Bon-Bon said as she ate her daisy sandwich. Bon-Bon eyes were cyan tinted, and her fur coat was light yellow with three wrapped up candy pictures on her rump. Her mane consisted of two colors, bubblegum pink, and grape purple which were curly at the ends. "Well they say sleep is good for you." Lyra and Bon-Bon chuckled at that saying. Taking a bit more bites out of there meals, the yellow Earth pony Bon-Bon saw Lyra in deep thought, again. "Are you thinking about those strange dreams of yours again? Lyra, you really should get it off your mind." Bon-Bon paused in thought for a second before continuing, "Maybe a pet might help ease your mind. Pet Play Date day is coming up and you might think of a new symphony for your work." Lyra thought about Bon-Bon's suggestion, maybe it would be good to stop thinking of her strange dream world, to stop her obsession with it. Yes, a pet could help get her mind off it and help think of more plays for work. "Good idea Bon-Bon, maybe a pet would do me good." They shared a couple of laughs before Lyra walked out of the door toward Fluttershy's, after all who better to get a pet from then the one who takes care of animals? Walking through Ponyville, across the bridge, and going up the hill to the the yellow Pegasus's house. Lyra came up to the Cottage and began knocking to get Fluttershy's attention. *KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK* "Oh, they're here!" Wait, wasn't that Twilight? Twilight throttled down the staircase, and to the front door. She opened it and spoke with formality. "Princess Your h...Oh Lyra what are you doing here?" Twilight's voice changed to that of minor surprise. "Bon-Bon thought It be good for me to get a pet for Pony Pet Play date, and to get my mind off other things." Lyra whispered the last part. "So where's Fluttershy?' She questioned. "Oh um she's around here, why don't you come in? I'm sure she won't mind." Twilight, holder of the Element of Magic, welcomed Lyra within the household of her friend. Lyra walked inside, thanking Twilight for her hospitality. Fluttershy came downstairs to see who was visiting, she took a glance at the mint-colored unicorn before memory sparked her name up. "Oh hello Lyra, do you need anything?" Fluttershy questioned. "Yeah, Bon-Bon said that you might have a good pet for me." Lyra replied smiling. "Really! I got many many pets! What would you like?" Fluttershy excitingly replied, eager to get one of the animals a new home. "Mmh... Well I was wondering..." Lyra stopped for a moment, the 'other thing' that Bon-Bon tries to get off her mind is hands. Lyra had a obsession with them as well a obsession with bipeds. But now she wonders if there are any pets that fit those specifics. "Wondering exactly what Lyra?" said Twilight, curiosity in her voice. "Fluttershy, do you have anything that walks on two legs? And has hands?" Lyra said, expecting denial of having such a creature. But Fluttershy and Twilight stood there in temporary shock, mouths agape. What pony wouldn't after having somepony say the exact specifics of what was just found? "I... I might have something like that." Fluttershy said. Twilight delved into thinking mode. Lyra had always been a strange one when not playing her lyre, always sitting upright on benches, and coming to the Library looking for books involving palms, claws, and hands and bipeds. And mythical creatures revolving around those appendages. She wondered if...no that's upsurd, how could Lyra possible know about the creature if it's never seen before? But a small voice in Twilight's mind told her to inspect further. "Lyra, Fluttershy and I would like to show you something." She made a follow me sign to Lyra, and went upstairs. When they got upstairs they saw the bipedal creature fully clothed in the same rugged clothes he had on beforehoof. The creature sat on the bed comfortably, his tail wiggling side to side in a slow moving motion. The mint unicorn Lyra, came up from behind Twilight, her jaw dropping the moment her eyes lay upon the creature. There, right there in front of her, sat the tailed human she dreamt of recently. She always thought it to be a dream, a figment of her imagination gone wild. And now, because of the recent decision with Bon-Bon to move on. Lyra had come face to face, with a little human colt... Wait, boy. But back to reality, she took in every detail, and every detail was just as she dreamt it. Not only that but the human child practically screamed adorable! A young human male right inside Fluttershy's home, certainly Fluttershy would let her adopt it right? "He's so cute! He's adorable!" Lyra yelled, the young human then looked right at her, his onyx colored eyes instantly found a place in Lyra's heart. Fluttershy spoke quietly, "Um Lyra, you know what he is?" Causing Lyra to do a one-eighty quicker than lightning. "He's a young human male isn't he?" She answered with a retriocole question, barely containing her excitement. "Human?" Twilight and Fluttershy said in unison. "Yes! Can I adopt him? Please? Pretty Please with sugar on top?" Lyra begged them, she needed this human, so many questions from her dream that he could answer, that's if he can speak like the other humans of her dreamt world. Fluttershy and Twilight exchanged glances. Twilight didn't want the human to leave until the princesses arrived. Fluttershy wasn't one to turn away giving animals a new home, but this human was young, injured, and needed to stay here for a bit longer. Whoa, Whoa, Whoa! Did Ken just hear what he thought he heard? Did this new unicorn just say she wanted to adopt him? To finally have a mother? To be able to experience family? If those other two ponies agreed to the mint colored one he could finally not be a orphan! It was too much of a opportunity to pass, and he was eager to persuade them. Ken gently got off the bed and stood up on his feet. He walked over to the mint unicorn who he guessed was named Lyra. When he stood in front of her, he realized these ponies were a bit taller than him. Ken then sat next to Lyra, and began nudging her side with his head. Which made all the other ponies look at him in minor surprise. The saiyan hybrid smiled as he closed his eyes and felt the comfortable soft fur of Lyra's coat, his saiyan tail wiggling around in response of the furry sensation. "Well he seems to agree with me!" Lyra boasted. It was strange, how the young human seem to be comforted with her, did it relate to her dreams? Did he know she dreamt him? Fluttershy and Twilight turned around and started whispering to each other. "What am I going to do Twilight?" Fluttershy whispered, "He seems to like Lyra very much and I don't wanna take him away from having a new home." "I know, I know." Twilight thought hard for a moment. "Maybe, you should let her adopt him then when the Princesses arrive, she'll have to let them see him." "But what if they take him away? What if they put him in old cage, in the dungeons? what if they let scientist experiment on him?" Fluttershy said with worry. "Fluttershy, I thought you know better by now that the Princesses would do no such thing. They will probably be curious like everypony else." The purple unicorn assured. They turned out to see Lyra petting the young human's mane, he seems to enjoy it as the child smiles and wags his monkey-like tail. "Lyra, We have decided that the Human will stay will you." said Twilight, Lyra did a squee. "However, when the Princesses arrive to inspect them you must allow them." "Oh yes, yes of course!" Lyra said, she then stopped petting the young human child, much to his disappointment. Fluttershy smiled and replied "Now what are you going to name him?" This got Lyra thinking, a name... A name, it can't be a pony name, she wanted a good Human name. But what, what! Hmm, maybe fuzz? Or cutey? No wait those are common pet names. "Ken" What was that? She heard something, Ken? Was...Was that his real name? "Ken, his name is Ken." She looked down at Ken to see his shocked face at the mention of his name. 'How... How did she know my name?' thought Ken as he pondered over the thought. 'Easy, I told her your name, and before you ask how, let's just say it comes with lots of training. The yellow Pegasus Fluttershy pulled out a brown and orange collar from a drawer. She pulled her hoof out toward Lyra to give it the the mint colored unicorn. Ken watched in astonishment as a tealish glow enwrapped the collar which then floated toward Lyra herself, her horn also lighting with the same glow. 'Is that real magic? Like real real magic?' Ken questioned Chris. Chris laughed inside the seal, 'Sure is, there was magic where I came from too you know, not just Ki. And from the look of that I say this world has enough magic for you to use Ki here.' "Here you are Ken." Ken looked up from his thoughts to see Lyra putting the collar on his hand's wrist with her magic. He looked at the wrist collar, it has a brown cloth and a orange circle medal with three engraved images of a regular pony, a winged pony, and a unicorn. All three images formed into a triangle, in the middle was a line and three strange symbols on top. He assumed that was his name. Ken looked on the back to see a text of symbols, probably address and stuff. Ken ignored the being sealed inside him dying of laughter at this sudden adoption. "Come on Ken, follow me." Making her hoof bend forward and back at Ken. "We're going home." 'Home.' Ken thought. 'I have a home.'
