After Firefly and Surprise left, Colgate and Lyra continued down the path to the castle. As they continued their journey they noticed that many of the ponies were staring at them suspiciously. While this caused Lyra to become rather nervous it irritated Colgate. Before they could reach Dream Castle a pink unicorn confronted them. She asked, "Who are you two and where are you from?"
Lyra replied, "Well my name is Lyra Heartstrings and this is my sister......"
Colgate put her hoof over her sister's mouth and snapped, "Does it really matter who we are?" She snorted and continued, "Why is it that everypony in this land interrogates us?"
The pink unicorn replied, "Because Queen Majesty has warned us all to be on the lookout for large eyed ponies such as you two. She thinks you might be evil. After all, you don't look like us."
Colgate grunted, "My my, aren't we the judgmental type?"
The pink unicorn again asked, "Look, I just want to know who you are and I will let you get on your way."
Colgate sighed, "Oh alright. Like my sister said, her name is Lyra Heartstrings and my name is Colgate." She glared and continued, "And who are you?"
The pink unicorn replied, "My name is Twilight."
Colgate asked, "Twilight? That's odd. There is a pony with that name back home, well Twilight Sparkle to be exact."
Twilight asked, "Really?" She glared at the two and continued, "Well I have a feeling that you won't tell me where you're from so I will let you get on your way."
Colgate sighed, "It's about time."
Colgate and Lyra continued towards Dream Castle and despite being watched closely by everypony, Lyra's excitement was building. Lyra asked, "Colgate, isn't this so exciting! I'll be so happy to meet Megan!"
Colgate replied, "Well I'll be glad to get there, for you to meet Megan and then go home where we don't have everypony staring at us and judging us because we look different."
Finally the two were greeted by a couple of guards at the drawbridge and one of them asked, "Halt, who goes there?"
The other guard said, "Wait a minute, it is that large eyed pony that Queen Majesty told us to be on the lookout for."
The first guard added, "And she's brought another one with her! We can't let them harm the queen!"
Colgate sighed, "You know what? I didn't harm your queen the last time I was here and I wouldn't harm another pony, ok?"
The other guard asked, "And what about the one you have with you?"
Lyra replied, "I would never hurt another pony!"
The first guard asked, "What business do you have with the queen anyway?"
Colgate lied, "Well last time I was here Megan was visiting and I told her about my sister and how she wanted to meet a human. Queen Majesty told me to come back and bring my sister so she could meet Megan."
The two guards stepped to the side. The first guard replied, "Well alright, you may pass."
The two nodded at the guards and approached the main gate. Given that the guards at the drawbridge let them pass, the guard at the main gate simply let them in. Once they were in they headed to the throne room where they saw not only Queen Majesty and Megan, but also Firefly and Surprise.
Firefly was the first to see them and yelled, "Your Majesty, it is them! It is the large eyed ponies. I knew they would come here."
Majesty looked and noticed that Colgate was there again but had brought another large eyed pony with her. She yelled, "Guards, seize them! The large eyed pony is back and she brought......."
Megan put her hand over Majesty's mouth and interrupted, "Your Majesty, I doubt they mean us any harm. Like I said the first time when Colgate showed up here, large eyed ponies are nothing to worry about."
Majesty grunted, "Fine." She then looked out at the two and asked, "So Colgate, what brings you back and who is this with you?"
Colgate replied, "This is my sister, Lyra Heartstrings. What brings us here is that my sister has always dreamed of meeting you and Megan."
Majesty asked, "How could she even know who Megan is? No one outside of Ponyland even knows she exists."
Megan looked out at the mint green unicorn and asked, "Lyra, could you come closer? I want to show Majesty that you mean no harm."
Lyra ran up to her and Megan began to scratch the side of her face, causing her to giggle. Lyra laughed, "That tickles!"
While Megan regularly scratches the faces of Ponyland ponies and it has no affect on them, the same can not be said of Equestrian ponies. Megan asked, "It tickles? That's odd, I've never seen anyone here having their face scratched tickle."
Majesty interrupted, "Well Colgate said that they come from abroad. I can tell they are different. Maybe their type are more ticklish."
Megan bent down and began to scratch behind Lyra's ears. While Ponyland ponies loved being scratched behind their ears, Equestrian ponies do not particularly care for it. She was causing Lyra a bit of discomfort but not enough for her to react. She was more focused on Megan's other hand. She realized that if she were to react in pain from being scratched behind her ears, that would warrant her biting her hand off. Eventually Megan began to scratch harder causing Lyra to scream out in pain, "Owww!"
Megan asked, "Lyra, are you ok? I've never had a pony scream like that before."
Lyra gave her a scowl and bit her hand at the wrist. "Owww!" Lyra had a strong hold of her wrist before Megan was finally able to get her hand free.
Majesty fired a bolt of energy at Lyra and yelled, "I knew you large eyed ponies were evil! No nice pony would bite Megan."
Colgate fired a bolt of energy at Majesty, striking her directly and knocking her out cold. She yelled, "Come on Lyra, we have to get out of here!"
Lyra and Colgate raced towards the exit and teleported themselves outside of the castle. In the state they were in they did not run towards the cave, they instead ran deep into the forest. Once they stopped Colgate yelled, "Lyra, why in Equestria did you bite her? Why would you bite a human?, a creature you claim to love so much?"
Lyra replied, "Because her scratching behind my ears hurt and I wanted one of her hands!"
Colgate sighed, "You know what? Now we are going to have to lay low. I'm sure they'll have pegasus guards flying everywhere trying to find us."
Lyra got a grin on her face and began to rub her hooves together. Colgate saw this and knew she was planning something, "What in Equestria are you planning?"
Lyra replied, "I'm just thinking of something."
Colgate said, "Well whatever it is, I can tell by the way you are acting that it is nothing good."
Lyra excitedly replied, "Sis, I want that human! I want to get her, take her back to Equestria and make her my pet!"
Colgate threw her hooves up in frustration, "Lyra, are you nuts! How in Equestria are you going to get her and if you were able to somehow get her, how are you going to transport her back to Equestria?"
Lyra giggled, "I'll levitate her home!"
Colgate continued, "Look, I highly doubt she will just let you levitate her home and I know that Majesty will likely provide her with added protection, not to mention if she hears Megan's screams when you are levitating her, she will come after us."
Lyra replied, "Well you knocked her out earlier today so couldn't you just do the same thing?" She gave Colgate puppy dog eyes and asked, "Please sis, can't we try to get Megan and take her home?"
Colgate sighed, "Look, let's just go home and forget about this. I want to get some sleep tonight. I don't feel like foalnapping a human or anything else from this place for that matter."
Lyra gave her puppy dog eyes and begged, "Please sis!"
Colgate replied, "You're not going home without her, are you?"
Lyra shook her head no. Colgate continued, "Fine, we'll wait till dark and then go abduct this human you want so bad."
Lyra giggled, "You know, you could always knock Majesty out and take her with us!"
Colgate replied, "No Lyra. I have no desire to have to put up with her any more than I have to."
Lyra laughed, "She is a different kind of pony and I know you have been wanting something different to conduct dental experiments on."
The wheels began to turn in her head and with a smile on her face she replied, "Alright Lyra. It will be a risk but perhaps I should take her with us. Once I have her in our basement I can punish her for firing energy at you!"
Lyra began jumping up and down shouting, "Yay!"
Colgate used her magic on Lyra and said, "Lyra, be quiet! We can't let anypony know we are here."
Lyra replied, "Oh ok sis."
In Dream Castle Megan was kneeling over an unconscious Majesty. She shook her and said, "Queen Majesty, wake up!"
Majesty finally started to come to. When she saw Megan she asked, "Ugh, what happened?"
Megan replied, "Do you remember us being visited by Colgate and Lyra?"
Majesty sat up and growled, "Yes I do. I remember Lyra bit you and I remember firing energy at her."
Megan asked, "Do you remember what Colgate did?"
Majesty replied, "Other than her standing like she was going to attack me I don't."
Megan said, "Well she struck you with a large amount of energy and knocked you unconscious. I don't know where she got all that energy from but she is quite powerful."
Majesty got up on all fours and growled, "I'll tell you how. She has to be evil. She has to be a creation of those witches or some other evil force." She glared at Megan and continued, "Now do you believe me that those large eyed ponies are evil."
While Megan normally would never see any pony as evil, after what Colgate and Lyra did, she shed some tears and admitted, "Ok, maybe they are evil."
Majesty felt like she finally got through to her over the nature of ponies such as Colgate and Lyra. It was getting late and she sighed, "Well Megan, it is getting late. Are you going to go home or are you going to stay here?"
Megan replied, "Normally I would go home but something is telling me that I need to stay here and look out for you. I just have a feeling that the blue unicorn is mad at you and may try to come and do something to you."
Majesty growled, "Well if she does, I will be ready for her and she will be sorry. I'll be more alert and attack her first."
After that the two headed to bed. While Majesty was completely confident that she could handle Colgate if she were to break in and attack her in the night, Megan couldn't help but worry about the queen. After seeing Colgate's power, she knew that she was capable of anything.
