A Lying Lyra

Hi. Let's get something straight, I'm a brony and I love anything with magic.

It was a night like any other and the room was only lit by a lamp on my desk next to my bed. I was in bed, half asleep, listening to Goosebumps like I normally do. Suddenly, there was a blinding golden flash of light. It was so strong I had to cover my eyes. When I opened them, I gasped. Lyra was in my room! She looked just as shaken up as I was, shaking her mane and tail and repeatedly blinking. Slowly, Lyra turned her head and saw me. She let out an exaggerated, prolong gasp.

"Oh my gosh! Are my eyes deceiving me?! Are the legends REALLY true?!  A-Are you a human?!" Lyra stuttered. My eyes were still wide with shock. A...REAL Lyra. A real life, tangible Lyra Heartstrings! I slowly nodded, unable to speak. She gasped again and ran up to me, tapping my hands and stroking my hair. She began asking me millions of questions. I tried to answer them at first, but she was going so fast! Her enthusiasm grew as she began to speak louder, so I quickly put my hand over her muzzle, shushing her.

"Quiet, or you'll wake my mom and dad!" I hissed. I let go of her muzzle and she exhaled softly. Lyra nodded.

"I'm sorry...it's just...wow, a real life human!" said Lyra. I laughed.

"It's okay," I said. Lyra looked up at me, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"What's it like? Being a human, I mean," asked Lyra. I froze. Wow. How do I respond to that? What IS it like being a human?

"I...I don't know! Normal, I guess? What's it like being a pony?" I asked her. Lyra put a hoof on her chin.

"Wow, that's a hard question. Hmm," said Lyra. Suddenly, the mint green unicorn gasped.

"I know! The only way to know what it's like to be a human...is to BE a human!" said Lyra.

"What are you saying?" I asked. She grabbed my shoulders with her hooves.

"I have a spell that can temporarily switch our bodies. You become me, I become you. That is, if you want to. So, what do you say?" asked Lyra. My eyes grew wide? Become a unicorn? Well, I guess it couldn't hurt.

"Can you do it?" I asked. She nodded.

"Yes I can." said Lyra. Her horn lit up in a golden aura. The transfer of souls hurt, as my human soul was forced into a pony body. It knocked me out and then my unconscious body was sent to Ponyville.
