Kyra

"Did you get all that, Spike?" asked Twilight.

"New... friends..." muttered Spike. "Got it."

"Now send it."

Spike held the scroll out in front of him and blew fire on it. The scroll disappeared and traveled through the air, making its way to Canterlot Castle. A minute or so later, fire burst from Spike's mouth and a scroll appeared. Twilight brought it over in front of her and unrolled it.

"Dear Twilight, my faithful student, it's always nice to hear that you're making new friends. And if it's not too much trouble, I'd very much like to meet her. I don't know this Kyra and I would like to get to know her."

"She wants to meet Kyra?" asked Spike, confused.

"This is great!" said Twilight happily. "I need to find Kyra. Let the princess know I'll come as soon as possible."

Derpy slowly opened her eyes and let out a groan. She slowly stood up and lost her balance. She stumbled into a wall.Derpy leaned against the wall and looked around the room. Kyra was sitting on the couch looking out the window. She looked over when she noticed Derpy.

"You're awake." she said. "How was your nap?"

"Why didn't you kill me?" asked Derpy.

Kyra smiled and turned back to the window.

"I still need you."

"Kyra!" came a faint voice.

Kyra looked down the street.

"Twilight." she said.

"Twilight?" asked Derpy.

Kyra backed away from the window and then turned to Derpy.

"Stay here." Kyra ordered. Her skin changed to bright red and her mane became blue. Her cutie mark changed from a skull to a heart and her eyes stopped glowing red. "I'm not gonna have to track you down, am I?"

Derpy sat down on the floor. "No."

"Good girl."

"Kyra!" Twilight called.

"Yes?" Kyra asked, appearing behind Twilight.

Twilight quickly spun around and.

"Oh. Kyra." said Twilight, catching her breath. "There you are."

"Did I scare you?" Kyra asked. "I'm sorry."

"That's all right." Twilight reassured her.

"What's up?"

"The princess wants to meet you."

"Really?" asked Kyra. Perfect, she thought. This was much easier than I thought. "When can we go?"

"Right now, if you want."

"All right." said Kyra. "I'm..."

She was cut off as they disappeared in a flash of light.

"...free." Kyra finished.

She looked around. They were in Canterlot. Right outside the castle.

"Let's go." Twilight said happily. "You're gonna love the princess."

"I'm sure I will." Kyra said with a smile.

Kyra followed Celestia, Luna, and Twilight into the Great Hall.

"So, you're Twilight's new friend?" Celestia asked.

"You bet." said Kyra. "She rescued me in the woods."

"Is that so?" Celestia asked, glancing over at Twilight.

"Aw, it was nothing." said Twilight.

"Where are you from?" Luna asked. "I haven't seen you around here before."

"I don't really remember anything before the storm." Kyra explained. "I must have gotten knocked out by something."

"That's awful." said Celestia sympathetically.

"It would've been if..." she paused when she saw the giant stained-glass window that depicted Twilight and her friends using the Elements Of Harmony to defeat Nightmare Moon. "Twilight hadn't found me." she finished. "What's this?" she asked, approaching the window.

"That?" asked Celestia. "That is a picture of Twilight and her friends saving my sister from the darkness."

"And what are the necklaces supposed to be?" Kyra asked, sort of already knowing the answer.

"The Elements Of Harmony." answered Celestia. "Once used by my sister and I, now used by Twilight and her friends."

This caused Kyra's eye to twitch.

"So, you no longer control the Elements?" she asked, wide-eyed.

"No." said Luna.

Kyra regained her composure and turned back to face the others.

"If you'll excuse me, I must be getting back."

"Of course." said Celestia. "You're welcome back anytime."

Kyra bowed and headed out the door, followed by Twilight.

"Didn't she seem a little familiar?" asked Luna.

"A little." Celestia agreed. "But there's more difference than similarity. I'm sure she's fine."
