Knock knock knock. Lyra knocked on the door to Fluttershys cottage. "Hello?" Asked Fluttershy. "Hi Fluttershy, its me, Lyra."Lyra replied. "Oh, whats wrong? Fluttershy asked." "Nothing, nothing." Said Lyra. "I was just wondering if you could help me pick out a pet for tomorrows fathers day? Please?" "Oh, of course" said Fluttershy "Come in. So what animal do you think your father would like?" "Definetly one that can be by his side in his library, but one that can be quiet when told. He also needs to be-" "Ok, I think I know what your dad might want" interrupted Fluttershy. "A canary might work." "But won't it be flying around the library disturbing guests?" Lyra asked. "Oh no." Said Fluttershy. "If the canary is caged it won't fly around." "Sweet! Thanks! Heres 30 bits, is that enough?"

"Oh no." Fluttershy said."as long as you're adopting, there is no price" said Fluttershy. "Are you kidding? Awesome! I can't thank you enough"said Lyra"Here you go"said Fluttershy as she handed a caged canary over to Lyra. I'm sure your dad will like him" "I'm sure of it too" said Lyra.

Lyra was happy the bird fell asleep on the train ride to Canterlot, so it wouldn't disturb any of the other passengers. As the train pulled up to the station, Lyra checked that the canary was still in its cage. "Uh oh" proclaimed Lyra "the birds not asleep any more! At least I won't have to whisper when I talk to dad." As Lyra was trotting into the library, she noticed a sign that read 'closed'. "I wonder why the library is closed?" Lyra said. "I'm gonna go in any way." And she did. Thankfully, her dad was in there, so Lyra could give him his fathers day gift."DAAAAAAAD! ITS ME!!"Lyra shouted."I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU!!"
"Lyra? Is that really you?"Mr.Heartstrings asked." Here to visit me?" "Hi dad." Lyra said as she walked towards him. "This is your fathers day gift!" Oh Lyra, sweetie, you didn't have to get me anything." Said Mr.Heartstrings "I'm too old for presents" "Well I got you this anyway!" Lyra unveiled the cage "A canary! How thoughtful! Thank you Lyra" Mr.Heartstrings said. "So dad, ehat do you think you'll name her?"
"Lyra"
