//------------------------------// // Getting Adjusted and Giving Invitations // Story: Lyra // by The Lyra Heartstrings //------------------------------// All three of us were at home, eating dinner. "Ya know Myth, as long as you're a mare... you should adju-" "No, I'm not adjusting. Adjusting in this situation is bad. I'll probably never want to be a stallion again." "But you'll become more comfortable. I'm not asking you to go on a date, I'm just asking you to accept life and live like this until.. or if... you change back." "Adjusting how?" "Well... you know... since there's so many... 'changes'..." "Oh no. No no no no. No toilets." "You could be a pretty good looking mare if you tried." "No. Toilets. No. Dates." "Fine. Just come into me and Bons bedroom when you've finished eating." I went into my bedroom. I picked up my phone once more. I went to the Internet, this time, searching My Little Pony, and scrolled through the pages. I was about to click on a link, but before I did, Myth came in. "Uhm.. why did you call me?" I turned off my phone, and put it on my drawer. "To help you out. Like I said, you're a beautiful mare. You even have a beautiful voice! But if you don't want to go date, that's fine. You need to get adjusted. First, mares don't hangout too much with stallions. Look everywhere, and you'll see what I mean. It's mostly mares with mares and stallions with stallions." "Um.. okay." "Myth, I get that you want to change back, but it can't be done. We just can't." "Okay." She sighed. "What do I need to do?" "Well, your mane is actually okay being messy." "Uh.. what does have to do with me getting 'adjusted'?" "Nothing. Okay, first, you need to us-" "No. Toilets." "You have to. It's natural." "Isn't it enough that I'm a mare, but now this!?" "Lyra! I need to talk to you!" Bon Bon was calling me from the kitchen. I walked to the kitchen, where Bon Bon stood, holding a basket full of envelopes. "Uh... what are these?" "Wfr Tw Wdnmhm." "What?" She placed the basket on the table, unmuffling her mouth. "For the wedding, silly." "Wait.. you're not expecting me to-" "Yes, you have to deliver the envelopes to the mailponies." "Okay, good, because I thought you were going to make me deliver them to everypony." I grabbed the basket and went to the door. "See ya!" I arrived at the post office. I placed the basket on the counter. The pony who was at the counter looked at the basket, then me. "You want these to be mailed?" "Well, yeah." I said cheerfully. "These are for the ponies who are invited to me and my marefriend's wedding we're host-" "Look hun, I'm not interested." She grabbed the basket and handed it to a cross-eyed pony. "Deliver these." Derpy raised a hoof to her head and flew away with the basket. I didn't even have time to say hi.. but I bet these ponies are all busy. I headed home to help Myth out. "It's that simple." "Y-you sure??" Myth was nervous. I'll leave the guessing part of where we were to you. "Yes, now just use it before you break something." Myth "did it". When she finished, she stood up quickly. "See? It wasn't that bad now, was it?" "I'm done." She walked fast to the living room, where I followed to see her grab her wrench and starting to unscrew a nail from the portal. "Myyyyyyyyth..." She glanced at me. "Wh-" I sprang and hugged her. "No inventions!" "Why.. why are you hugging me?" "Because." "Because...?" "Because I love you." "In which manner?" "In a friend manner." I said, smiling. "Okay, good." She returned the hug. "But I'm still not going to stop." "Myth, just let it be. You'll learn to like it. Just give it a chance." "But if I don't like it?" "Well.. then you don't like it.." "So then I will contin-" "Okay, the reason I don't want you to do your inventing stuff is because I don't want you to get hurt." "So I barely moved in and you already care that much for me? Wow.." She smirked. "Yeah, I care for you. I care for anypony." I smiled. "So I guess you can stop with the loving thing now?" "Only if you promise to give this a chance." "Promise.." She sighed. "Still, you could be a beau-" She raised a hoof to my mouth to stop me from talking. "Fine." She took her hoof away from my mouth. "But we could get you a temporary/first date." "I'll get a date if I feel- want to, and I don't." "Just give it one chance? I'll give you something in return if you don't like it." "Like what?" She tilted her head. "L-like what!? Um... your phone back?" "Look, I don't need anything in return. If I go on a date, will you stop?" "Yes." "Geez, why are you so eager for me to go on a date?" "Because I love you." She looked at me, considering what to do. "I love you too, Lyra." She finally hugged me. I did a little victory dance in my head.
