"Happy Birthday!" Alex shouted as she ran ahead of me. I could see her sweating, she wouldn't last long. I caught a quick glimpse of her doing that awkward shoulder movement she always did when she ran before she turned the corner. I was right on her tail, turning the corner right after he-
"Don't li- ing with yo-"
"Its- ord"
*BOOM*
"See you soon"

"Amy!" Alex shouts, shaking me hard.
"Huh, Alex?" I say, vision cloudy. "I-I saw something, It called itself d-discord and, and-" Tears broke out, I didn't know why I felt so sad. It was just a little daydream, right? "Cherry, I cant remember before, what where we doing?'' I ask, struggling to recall.
"We where going to the house, remember?" She asked, obviously worried.
"No..."
Those memories flashed by my mind as I stared at the mark on my thigh. A three stringed harp. I checked the other side. Yep, there too. This isn't possible. It was probably alex playing a prank on me, but she doesn't know about the show. And why would she pick lyra. I guess I'll just ask. I stood up and walked out from behind the bush, slowly clapping my hands. Gee, I hope it was a prank.
"Oh, ha ha ha. Very funny guys." I say. They looked confused, they did it, right? "Y'know, the harp?" I glanced back to my hip.
"I have no idea what your talking about." Katie says, while looking at me with worry.
"Me neither." Alex says.
"Ugh, I'm talking about," I grap the waistband of my pants, "This!" I yank down the side of my pants, revealing the harp. Both alex and Katie where silent for a bit, just staring, before Katie broke the ice.
"What the HECK is that!?" She screamed bringing her gaze to mine. I opened my mouth to reply before another voice interrupted.
"OW!" Called a voice from inside the house. A series of *Thumps* and *Thuds* where soon be heard as well as a chorus of *Oofs* and *Ows*. Soon one final *Thump* Echoed throughout the clearing, as a dazed and confused man walked out, rubbing his head. I was barely able to contain my laughter with my hand over my mouth. Alex was snickering a bit too, but the man did not seem amused.
''Matt, *Snort* W-what happened? *Giggle*" I coughed out, about to explode at any second now.
"Really!" He said, glaring at me, "If I fall down the stairs, somepony should at least see if I'm okay!" That broke me. I fell to the floor, guffaws erupting out of my mouth. A chorus of giggles and laughter where spilling out as well.
"AH HA HA HA HA!'' I shout, rolling around on the floor. ''HA HA! M-MAKE IT STOP! AH HA HA HA!" I say, gasping for air inbetween giggles. "I-I CANT B-BREATH!" I shout, waving my hands in the air, laughter still coming out of my mouth. Finally, the giggles subsided and I was left to face an angry Matt. He stood over me, arms crossed, a scowl on his face. As I sat up I noticed Alex and Katie seemed angry at me too. "Aww, lighten up everypony!" I fell to the floor laughing again at my own joke. ''HA HA ha ha heh. Yeah." I finish, glancing at the others. Still pissed.
''That's not funny.'' Matt says, walking away.
"C'mon, cheer up thunderlane!" He stopped, and turned around snickering. "What?" I say, confused at why he's laughing.
''Oh, it was nothing. You just called me a pony name. A pony from a show that you said you hated.'' He said, as he scratched his thigh.
"What? I'm pretty sure I didn't say anything from my little pony." Now it was Alex and katies turn to laugh. "What!?"
Alex responded "Yeah, you totally didn't call him thunderlane. Or even better, yo udidnt call him a name from my little pony!''
"Right! I didn't!"
''Stop denying it! You watch the show and compared thunderlanes awesomeness to mine and accidentally called me by his name!" matt shouts, "You are always interested in fictional animals and such."
I snort, "I do not watch that nonsense. 'Thunderlane' is stupid, so are you. And the animals I study are not fictional, pastel colored ponies with magic horns and wings are fictional. I am interested in things such as minitaurs, and cockatrice."
He crossed his arms, "I don't see the difference," he says, "those are both in equestria.'' I roll my eyes
"Just get it in your head already! Equestria is. Not. Real." We have a mini staring contest before Katie interrupts.
"I know that you guys have something you disagree about, but can we talk about something related to our current problem." She says, pointing to my hip.
"What problem?" Matt asks, glancing at my leg. Katie gives me a stern look, meaning I should show him. Sighing, I pull down the waistband of my shorts. It was silent at first, before Matt let out a giggle. "You, you h-have, a." He forced out inbetween laughs. "Cutie mark!" He once again let out giant guffaws, clutching his gut. "L-Lyra! Why would, y-you do h-her."
"I didn't do it!" I spat out, pulling my pants back up. My vision went blurry for a second, then his laughter turned into little giggles as he looked into my eyes. He stared into them for a while, which made me uncomfortable. "Um, Matt?" I say, waving my hand in front of his face.
"Your eyes are..." He says, still staring into them.
"Huh?" Alex and Katie move to my front. Both of their eyes went wide.
"I'll get a mirror." Katie says, running inside. A second later she return with a small handheld mirror. I grab it and bring it to my face. My eyes where bright yellow.
