"Come on Lyra. We have to go NOW!" Bon Bon commanded to the teal mare.

"No! I'm sleeping!" Lyra retorted, pulling her blanket over her head.

"Do you WANT to starve?"

"5 more minutes! I was having a good dream!"

"Ugh... Lyra..." Bon sighed, sitting on the foot of their bed. The sun shone in through their window as Lyra snuggled herself up. She was compacted in a sea of sheets and blankets. It was already Wednesday and they had to go do some market shopping. But, Lyra was just glued to her bed.

"Sorry Bons. I'm just too tired."

"No. You're just being lazy!" Bon Bon retorted with a sigh.

"I'm not lazy. I'm SUPER lazy!" Lyra replied with a snicker, seeming satisfied with her joke.

"How is that any different than just 'lazy'?"

"It's like normal lazy, but with a cape!" With that, the teal Lyra wrapped a sheet around her neck, reclining happily.

"Lllyyyrrraaa..." Bon Bon asked in a begging tone.

"No."

"Lllyyyrrraaa."

"I said no Bons!"

"LLLYYYRRRAAA."

"Stop it!" Lyra yelled, covering her head with her pillow.

"LLLYYYRRRAAA!!!" Bon yelled in a fit to rival a foal's.

"Fine! I'll go! Celestia..." Lyra gave in grumpily, flopping out of her bed.

"Yay! Thanks L!" She said cheerfully, giving grumpy mare a peck on the cheek and causing a blush.

"I'm keeping the cape, though."

"Fine.... Super Lazy." Bon announced it as if she were already a super hero.

"You know, I'm starting to like that name: Super Lazy. I'd be that hero."

"Oh really? What would your powers be?"

"Well..." Lyra... Excuse me... Super Lazy, went off in a long tangent and in detail of Super Lazy. She even talked about her enemies, such as the ever evil "Exer-Size." and the intimidating "Work". She continued her spiel on their walk to the market. She began to get in detail about one of the battles, where Super Lazy teamed up with her partner "Pro Crastine." to battle the worst villain of all time: "Respo Nsibility." But, as she got into it, she heard a very familiar voice that she hadn't for years.

"Lyra? Is that you?"

"Twilight?!"

"Sweet Celestia, it is you!" The purple pony princess positively proclaimed.

"Well well well, it's been a while, Twi!" Lyra smiled back to her old friend as they met in an embrace.

"How are things going?" Twilight asked as they ended their hug.

"Fine... Fine. Me and Bon are together now. So that's cool."

"Oh Congratulations! Oh, hey, would you mind coming to the castle to rekindle?"

"Well, I came with Bon. And she worked pretty hard to get me here..."

"Heh... Pretty hard..." Twi snickered to herself.

"Go ahead, Lyra. Just... Don't end up how we did last time we were at a castle." Bon's spine shivered a bit as she recalled.

"What happened?" Twi asked, confused.

"I'll... Explain on the way there." As Twilight led her way towards the Friendship castle,  Lyra told the tale of their drunken night at the Canterlot Castle. Now, they have personally dubbed it "Lyravator".

"Wow... That... That seems... I don't even know..." Twi shook her head, confused.

"Yeah... It was a pretty weird reunion..." Lyra blushed, rubbing the back of her neck.

"I could guess. Well, maybe you sure try to make it up to her." Twilight suggested with a shrug.

"I guess... Well um... Nice castle." She tried to change the subject, hoping to forget her drunk past. But, she did admire the huge crystal structure and just how clean she could keep it. It had a Sparkle to it, almost like Twilight was trying to make a pun from it.

"Thanks!" A masculine voice said, catching Lyra off guard. She got scared for a bit, thinking her friend turning into a guy super quickly.

"T-Twilight?" She looked around a bit, seeing Twilight as still a mare. But, she pointed at the ground near Lyra's legs. When she looked, there was a dragon,who she knew all too well.

"Hi Lyra!" Spike yelled out in a happy tone. His enthusiasm was met by a huge, scale crushing hug.

"SPIKE! It's been forever!" Lyra yelled into his baby dragon face, swinging him around frantically.

"Ow! OW! Lyra!"" He yelled back in agonizing pain.

"Oh... Whoops! Sorry! I just miss you and it's SO good to see you again!" Lyra said with an embarrassed, yet huge, grin as she dropped her old scaly friend.

"It's... It's okay..." Spike said with a cough, stretching a bit to get his body back in tune.

"Let's... Uh, show our guest around the castle and... Well, try not to die. Sound good Spike?" twilight asked as Spike hopped on her back.

"Heh... Yeah. Mush!" He said in a fake commanding tone, pointing down the hall and sparing her sides like she had a saddle on. She didn't move at all, or even chuckle. she just slowly turned her head back to see her spiky companion with a very unamused face.

"I'm... Not... A... DOG!" Twilight yelled angrily at him, bucking him off her back like a bronco. Lyra was shocked and moved away a bit. She never saw her old friend this angry. Maybe being a Princess gave her lots of stress? She asked herself a few more questions to herself in her head bit calmed down a bit after a while. but, when she saw Spike's totally contused face, her mind was thrown all a jumble.

"Twilight! It was a joke! You always let me joke! What the hay?!" Spike rubbed his tiny head a little as Twilight gave him a face of pure rage.

"I'm no dog! Don't EVER do that!"

"Um... T-Twi?" Lyra spoke up a little but caught a snap from the Princess.

"You shut up too!" Lyra got caught off guard and fell to the ground, back first and cowering.

"S-Stop it! You're scaring me!" Lyra cried.

"Wanna see something really scary?" Twilight asked, getting her twitchy eyed crazy look. She put her face right up in Lyra's, who was trying to push herself on the ground as much as possible to hide from her old friend. But Twilight just kept getting closer and closer.

"N-no..."

"Too late!"Twilight yelled. Spike was just behind them, watching on with wide, shocked eyes. Twilight lit up her horn and covered her entire body in her magic aura. The was a bright flash of magic and one the magic faded, everypony (and everydragon) knew immediately what was wrong with Princess Twilight Sparkle.

"Queen Chrysalis?!"

Chrysalis smiled down to her prey, nodding slowly and happily. Well, evil happy.

"Where's Twilight?!" Spike yelled, taking up a fighting stance. Though, he looked like a plaything compared to the Queen.

"Somewhere safe, little Spike." The Queen hissed in her echoey voice, baring her shard-like teeth.

"W-Why are you... Twilight?" Lyra asked sacredly.

"Excellent question. I suffered defeat at Canterlot. And, well, those Princess have grown too powerful. but Twilight isn't as powerful. She was easy to advance upon. Then, I fed on Spike's love for her. Yet, you are just a dragon! You could never love Twilight enogh to feed me. So, I needed to go into town as the Princess."

"B-But... Why'd you invite me in?"

"You loved Twilight like a sister. And just 5 minutes in a market place isn't enough time. Am I right?"

"Well, yes, but..."

"And, it was working perfectly. Until Spike pointed out..."

"Twilight would never act this way!" Spike yelled accusingly, pointing a finger. Or claw. Whatever he has. And he looked like a dragon Phoenix Wright.

"Excatly. now, enough chit chat! Time is food! You're both imprisoned with her!" The queen laughed evily as Spike made a run for it to the front door,. Unfortunately, she merely shot a beam of magic at him, imprisoning him in a magic bubble.

"Well, that failed." He sighed. The Changeling Queen turned to imprison Lyra next. But, when she turned to see her, all that was there was a crystal floor. She looked up and saw the mare turning a corner to a hall. She merely chuckled, as if this were a game.

"That's how you wanna play?"

"You'll never get way with this!" Spike yelled from his bubble angrily.

"Don't bet on it, dragon!" Chrysalis yelled to him, running down the hall to catch up with Lyra. Meanwhile, Lyra was running as fast as she could down each different corridor. After  good 10 minutes, he was sweating and was hoping to find her former best friend just to break her out. She decided to wing it and bursted into one room.However, it was empty. Well, nopony was there. But the walls and floor almost magically changed from crystal to hardwood, resembling a barn. the blanket on the bed was in a flannel design and the walls were adorned with pictures of apples. The whole thing resmebeled a barn.

"Uh... C-Creepy..." Lyra backed out slowly and went to another room to no avail. There were balls everywhere and the wallpaper looked like the sky. She continued this trend, going to a room that looked like a petting zoo, one that looked like a beauty shop and even one that looked like an all out party. After a while, she heard running hoofsteps and knew Chrysalis was coming for her. She ran as fast as she could, skipping a few room. Oddly enough, one she skipped had Twilight in it. But, she just ran and ran. After a few minutes, when she was sure Chrysalis was gone, she slowed down and entered a very dark corridor.There, she heard only her hoofsteps.

Clop.... Clop.... Clop...

The hair on Lyra's neck began to prick up like a porcupine.

"Is... Is somepony there?!" She called out down the hall. No answer.

"Twilight?!" Again, no response. Right when she was about to turn around, a flash of light went off in a room a few feet from Lyra. She got completely enthralled with the light and followed blindly. Once she entered the room, there was... A mirror.

"Well, that's just disappointing." Lyra sighed, ready to turn away. But, she became enthralled again when the mirror seemingly called her name.

"Lyra..." It was in a whisper tone.

"What? Who's there?!" She looked around frantically, staring at the mirror again. As she did, she noticed... Things. They weren't ponies. They looked to be in their own world.

"What are thooose?!" Lyra yelled in a question, running away sacredly. But, she ran right into a bookshelf. As she did, a book fell on her head. She took a moment to read the cover. It said: "Mythical Beasts, from Cyclops to humans." Upon reading this, Lyra took a huge gasp of excitement.

"Oh... M... Goodness! Humans! Those are humans! I've studied humans!" Lyra yelled, a bit too loud. She immediately heard Chrysalis coming for her.

"Well, have no choice now." Lyra hit up her pony shrug and went up to touch the portal. She put a hoof to it and light went around and expanded in the place she put her hoof. Lyra grew more and more weary of the thought of going to, wherever that was. But, Chrysalis was two feet away. Lyra took a deep breath and jumped through.
