Lyra Heartstrings has always LOVED the thought of humans. These odd creatures.. they're fascinating! That's what she believes. Will Lyra discover any of these beings? Yes, but how? Find out in this story! "So, Wait, Humans?"

Human beings fascinate me, being just the way they are!
Tell me, little pony, can you push a cart or drive a car?
Lyre is my instrument, but humans strum their sweet guitar
It's a mystery, anthropology!

Fingers, toes and tiny noses, brownish hair and tannish skin
Would it be too much to ask to see the world they're living in?
Everybody tells me that it's old and fake mythology
It's a mystery, anthropology!

Aren't you bored of brushing your coat, styling your mane with your hooves?
I don't mean to butt in or gloat, but ancient history proves…

Humans don't have wings or magic. They don't need it; they don't care!
All they've got's imagination, new inventions everywhere!
Babies, children, teens and elders, all alike have clothes to wear
It's so real to me, anthropology!

Albert Einstein, Cleopatra, William Shakespeare, Elton John,
Michael Phelps, Barack Obama…who's to say that they're all gone?
Maybe humans like us too and dress like us at Comic-Con? ;)
It's so real to me, anthropology!

Yeah, they've had a couple of fights,
Nobody's perfect you see,
Still I say I'm born with the rights
to study whatever I please!

I don't need to horse around now, I can stand on two legs!
I would trade my magic powers for a pair of new legs!
Grab your camera, come on, zoom in!
'Cause your favorite mare's a human,
ME!

That is who I'll be!
Anthropology! shh.

Lyra's always been obsessed with the thought of having hands and feet and various other body parts. Bon Bon on the other hand isn't so sure about the idea. She tries to keep Lyra in line, but she doesn't seem to understand or listen. Bon Bon can't help but worry about her. She just doesn't know what to do about her friend.. she talks to her other friends about it, but they don't know what to do about it either. Read the story to find out more about what happens!

You Know I Worry About You?

It was a typical morning in Ponyville. The sun was shining, birds were chirping, everything was normal. The pegasi were forming the clouds in the sky for rain storm that was scheduled this evening. Bon Bon awoke that morning to the slight peak of sunshine coming in from the shudders. She gave a soft smile and sat up, stretching herself out onto the bed and shaking her mane back into place. She nudged the covers off of herself and trotted over to the window, opening up the shudders and looking up at the sky. She cocked her head and sighed.

"Great. Another rainstorm. We had one yesterday!"

She peered around, looking for somepony that she could talk to about this. Out of nowhere Derpy bumped into the side of their building, small cloud in hoof and she made a little squeak and looked back. Bon Bon wasn't the happiest pony at first and glared at Derpy, then recognizing those cross-eyes she just nudged it off.

"Hello, Derpy. Do you have any idea why there's another sto-"

"Bon Bon!"

She turned around to see Lyra galloping towards her. Derpy was peaking through the window and her eyes widened. Bon Bon let out a screech and fell backwards, Lyra landing on top of her.

"Lyra, get off of me!"

She groaned in annoyance. Lyra giggled and rolled off of her friend. She stood up on two legs and smiled.

"Notice anything different?"

She pranced around on her two legs, a bit wobbly, but she managed to maintain her balance. Bon Bon raised an eyebrow.

"How did you manage to do that..? And why would you want to in the first place? I think it looks silly!"

Lyra's ears flattened and her smile faded for a moment.

"It's not silly.. it's human!"

Lyra's ears perked back up and she grinned brightly. Bon Bon facehoofed.

"Human, yes. Sure. I worry about you, Lyra.."

She murmured the last part and looked down at the floor. Lyra tilted her head in confusion at what she had said, but then she trotted down the stairs normally. She assumed that Bon Bon was upset with her again, so she decided to walk "normally" to possibly make her friend happier. Lyra thought it had something to do with the way she was acting.
