Lost: More Than Just A Friend...

Hi there, I am Roe. You probably remember me from the previous episode of the series. Wait, what do you mean you don't remember me? Roe? Eighteen year old katana wielder with some amnesia? Saved Equestria from certain doom? Only human alive in a world full of talking ponies, unicorns, pegasi, and alicorns? Ring a bell? No? Fine, let's just get on with it.

On the way home from Canterlot, which seemed to take forever because I had a sack full of one hundred thousand bits being pulled by a wagon, I overheard that Pinkie Pie was planning a party for me since I had saved Equestria, but I think I had imagined that part. *Dang, this wagon is heavy! Even with me and Big Macintosh pulling it, and Twilight using her magic to make it lighter, it is STILL extremely heavy!* I thought to myself as sweat poured from my head. But then I remembered Twilights' magic wasn't very strong because her horn was still partially healing from when Queen Chrysalis captured us. Princess Cadence knew a spell that could heal Twilights' horn, but the spell wasn't strong enough to fully heal it. It still had a few chips in it missing, but hey! She could perform magic again! Wasn't as strong as before, but her horn would heal. Eventually.

Fluttershy said that she had a special friend finally coming over tomorrow after a few months working at Appleloosa, a town that relies on apples as their main food source. Kind of like a western version of "Sweet Apple Acres" if it were a small town. She mentioned that even she was surprised that "HE" would be doing some work.

"But then again, he DID accidentally destroyed a bar there. So I guess he was just trying to make up for it. Unless he was forced to so he didn't go to Appleloosa jail."

I started growing suspicious. "Who is, 'HE'?" No I was not getting jealous! Okay, maybe a little. But I still had the right to ask who 'HE' was.

Fluttershy giggled a bit. "I'm not saying. It's a surprise! I just know that you two will get along though. You're both funny, kind, and you both care about animals."

I decided to ignore it as I watched Pinkie Pie and Rainbowdash run off to Ponyville without us. As we continued walking the wagon seemed to become slightly lighter. I looked to my right where an empty harness should have been and found Applejack pulling along with us. Big Mac was to my left and I was in the middle, pulling onto a rope.

We traveled for a few hours, about half a mile to Ponyville and about two miles to my house. We were all sweating badly now, and Twilight almost fainted from exhaustion trying to keep the spell going. I looked down at my watch that I had bought before we left Canterlot. It was almost ten.

Fluttershy tried helping to push the cart, but it wasn't really doing any difference. All of us almost passed out from fatigue when we heard a familiar voice.

I looked to my right and found the same mint green unicorn and the cream colored earth pony from when Queen Chrysalis' clone captured us. "We can help you! It won't cost you anything! We can help you push the cart to your house!"

We continued pushing and pulling when something weird happened. Me, Big Mac, and AJ Were all suddenly refreshed and feeling strong as ever! The mint green unicorn had cast a spell making us not tired any more. She also helped by casting the same spell Twilight was casting and the earth pony helped pushing the wagon with Fluttershy. The wagon suddenly started to pick up speed and within a few hours, we had pushed the wagon inside a large shed that was connected to my house.

As twilight, Fluttershy, and the two Apples left after saying goodbye, the unicorn and earth pony were almost ready to faint from fatigue. Their house was on the other side of Ponyville, so I let them stay at my place for the night. I always had a spare bedroom that was for when guests came over. They happily came inside and thanked me.

The two greeted themselves, Lyra Heartstrings and Bon "Sweetiedrops" Bon. I showed them around a bit. When I had shown them the spare bedroom, Bon Bon flew right on top of it and was out almost instantly! I walked back downstairs and got an apple out of a cooler. Since I couldn't find a refrigerator anywhere that wasn't over thirteen thousand bits, I managed to build a homemade cooler out of a metal box, ice, and a metal lid to place over the container. I offered one to Lyra and she took it hungrily.

We sat down at the table, Lyra sitting in a strange pose with legs dangling like people, eating our red, juicy fruit when she asked me all I knew about humans. She said that she always knew that they existed, but never had any real proof and often got laughed at by other ponies. Apparently,  Bon Bon was the only one who didn't laugh at her. I happily told her everything I could remember about the human race. I often had to draw pictures in my notebook to explain some things a bit more. She was extremely shocked when she learned about all of the wars and racism. I told her how I just wanted peace, like how it is here. But I knew that back home on Earth, there would never be a time where there was "100% World Peace". Lyra was extremely intrigued when I told her about modern technology, like computers and Television. I remembered everything because I wrote and drew pictures of these things just in case I had a more serious case of amnesia.

After explaining all this stuff, something else interested me. "Hey, Lyra. If you like to study humans allot, then why is your cutie mark a lyre?"

She looked down at her cutie mark, then thought for a moment. "I guess it is there because I am really good at playing the lyre. And when i'm not studying what I know about humans, I go to different schools around Equestria and teach young fillies and colts how to play the lyre if they want to. I guess it would be more 'Human Related' if I learned about humans sooner. But, I probably would get laughed at more by other ponies then."

Lyra started to get depressed. I kind of felt sorry that she was getting laughed at, but now I new a way to cheer her up. "At least now you can laugh at them for not believing." I said with a chuckle.

She looked up for a moment and smiled. Something came to her mind, and she hopped off the chair. "oh, I have got to show you something! Well, I have practiced this trick almost every night, but it causes my backside to hurt after a while of doing it. But the more I do it, the less my backside hurts!" She propped up onto her hind legs and actually started to 'WALK' around the room!

I laughed a bit. I never have seen a pony who actually could walk! I wasn't making fun of her though, I was just so amused at this neat little trick! She set herself back down onto all fours and rubbed her back a little. I clapped quietly for a bit and looked back down at my watch. My face gave a small look of shock as the watch read '1:00 AM'.

Lyras' slight smile transformed into a slight frown. "What's the matter?" I showed her my watch and she gave the same expression.

  I got up from the table and traveled up the stairs. "Welp, it's time for some sleep. G'night Lyra!" I called as I entered my room.

She waved before she entered the guest room. "Good night, Roe." She whispered so her sleepy friend could continue to sleep.

When Lyra opened the door I heard Bon Bon call out. "Good night Roe!"

I laughed and shouted across the hall. "I thought you were asleep!"

"Well it's kind of hard when you two are making loud noises downstairs!" She retorted.

I chuckled and yelled, "Good Night," as I entered my bedroom.

When I took off my pants and socks, leaving the white tee shirt on like I always do, I climbed in the blankets. Fang jumped on top of the bed with me and curled up, sleeping next to me. Pretty soon, I was out as well.

                                 7 HOURS LATER

I woke up at 8:00 A.M. like always. After I got some clothes on I walked downstairs. When I did, I found pancakes and a note on the table. Picking it up, I read the note.

Thank you for everything. You are even nicer than some other ponies we know! We wanted to thank you for being so nice to us, so Bon Bon left extremely early for some nearby markets and bought the ingredients to make pancakes, because who doesn't love pancakes?! Anyways, me and Bon Bon made you breakfast for being so nice to us.

Lyra Heartstrings and Bon Bon.
