Chapter 2

Meanwhile at Silver's Mansion Silver was exhausted after the first day of the new CHS. All the friendly teachers everyone had loved turned into complete slave drivers. Deep down they hated what Blueblood had turned them into. They would had refused to do things his way but since he was technically their boss and signed their paychecks they had no choice. it was either be mean or be homeless. Silver was tired from running from one end of the campus to the other because of Blueblood's new time limit. After he got to his room he collapsed onto his bed and stared up at his ceiling hoping Lyra was doing well on her end.

Meanwhile at the Manhattan Airport Lyra had just gotten off of her plane and entered the Terminal Building. She went to the Baggage Claim to get her suitcase. While she was waiting she decided to call Silver to see how he was holding up.

" Hello?” Silver said after he swiped the answer button on his phone.

" Hi Silver how are you holding up after the first day of Blueblood's rule?" Lyra asked as she was worried about her boyfriend.

" Not so well," Silver replied as he was getting ready to rant.

" what happened?" Lyra asked with a worried tone in her voice.

" He made our teacher go from good to evil he replaced the menu with awful tasting food and thanks to his rules I almost ended up getting my first strike towards expulsion," Silver ranted as he began to calm down a bit.

“but I'm still alive," Silver added after venting his frustration.

" That's good how is the petition going?" Lyra asked as she retrieved her suitcase.

" so far Rarity and the others got four-hundred and sixty signatures so all they need are ours and the students who joined Crystal Prep and we win," Silver replied with a little excitement in his voice.

" In that case you have my permission to use my signature," Lyra said as she walked towards the parking lot.

" That's great the others will be glad your helping us even from the other side of the country," Silver said as he felt a little more excited that the nightmare was close to ending.

" I gotta go my friend is here to take me to her house while i'm here see you soon I hope," Lyra said as she met with her friend.

Lyra hung up and put her phone back in her pocket. She met up with a cream colored girl in a black sweater red skirt and a hairstyle nearly identical to Twilight's. She opened the trunk of her car and Lyra put her suitcase inside. Lyra and the girl began catching up on old times.

" Thank you for letting me stay with you Moondancer," Lyra said as she felt excited to see her childhood friend again.

" It's not a problem I'm glad you decided to enroll at my school," Moondancer replied as she drove out of the Airport parking lot..

" Me too it's a shame my boyfriend was not so fortunate," Lyra said as she remembered her conversation with Silver..

" How is Silver Chance anyway I hope he is surviving," Moondancer asked as she felt concerned about Silver as well.

" He was exhausted when I called him but he never gives up when the deck is stacked against him as he would say," Lyra replied as she remembered what Silver would say when things got tough.

" Silver always loved that Duel monsters card game maybe I should challenge him sometime," Moondancer said as she stopped at a red light.

As Lyra and Moon dancer talked about old times and caught up with each other they reached Moondancer’s Apartment. As they went inside Moon Dancer showed Lyra to the Guest Room and went to her room to finish her homework. Lyra went to the Living Room and began watching TV. While watching the latest episode of Mystery Diners she saw an ad for the Museum of Natural History talking about their new exhibit. Lyra was interested once they showed a picture of the Horse Statue she came for. They said it would arrive tomorrow. Lyra went to ask Moondancer where the Museum was. She said she would take her after school tomorrow.

At the Museum of Natural History Larry was patrolling the Museum to make sure everyone was behaving and to make sure no one got in or out. But mostly to make sure the Tablet of Ahkmenrah stayed in the Egyptian Wing where it belonged. After Larry made his rounds he played fetch with Rexy. After he threw Rexy's rib bone Rexy had flung Larry into a crate with his tail out of excitement. After hearing Larry scream Teddy and his steed galloped to him.

" Lawrence are you ok?" Teddy asked as he helped Larry up.

" Yeah I'm fine I'm starting to get used to it by now," Larry replied as he brushed himself off.

" Good we don't want that new exhibit to break Ak said he sensed something magical about it," Teddy said as he referred to the crate Larry crashed into.

" Magical? what kind of magic could a statue have?" Larry asked with a skeptical look on his face.

" I don't know but we will find out tomorrow when it is revealed," Teddy said as he left to check on other stuff.

Meanwhile on the outskirts of Ponyville Trixie was pulling her wagon towards the Castle of Friendship. The ponies of Ponyville paid no mind to her as she headed to the town square. She anchored her wagon and began her show for the day. After hearing Trixie announce her entrance Twilight had teleported to the Town Square to see her show. After her show Twilight went to Trixie's Dressing Room to catch up with her. Twilight had offered Trixie to stay at her Castle during her visit and she had accepted. Twilight gave Trixie a tour of the Castle of Friendship. Twilight had showed Trixie her new Library and the crystal mirror. Twilight explained to Trixie about the machine she hooked up to the mirror and how she can use it to force the portal open whenever she wanted. After the tour it was time for Luna to raise the moon so Twilight had showed Trixie one of the Guest Rooms and Twilight had teleported to her room and they both went to bed.

The next day Moon Dancer was showing Lyra around Roosevelt High. After Lyra got her schedule she and Moon Dancer had went their separate ways til third period. Lyra was in music class while Moon Dancer was in history. Lyra remembered the awesome song the Humane Six had used to defeat the Sirens and played it for her class. Lyra told them it was something written by an old acquaintance of hers. After music class Lyra met two of Moon Dancer's new friends Lemon Hearts and Twinkleshine in social studies. Lyra had told them about what happened back at CHS and felt bad for Silver Chance. She assured them he would be fine and that he survived worse odds than these. After third period ended Lyra Moon Dancer and her friends went to lunch. Lyra got to know Lemon Hearts and Twinkleshine very well by now. Moon Dancer invited them to come to the Museum with her and Lyra and they accepted. Moon Dancer needed to write a report about Ahkmenrah's reign of Egypt. Lyra just wanted the statue back.

Meanwhile at the Castle of Friendship Library Twilight was reading the latest Shadow Spade book when suddenly the book above the portal started to glow and vibrate. Normally Twilight would think it was a message from Sunset Shimmer but this felt different. With her magic Twilight levitated the book down and opened it. The message inside said:

New coordinates set: Museum of Natural History Brooklyn NY.

Normally Twilight would freak out over something like this but it made sense to her now. Since she was able to move her end of the portal to her Castle and still reach CHS the same could work on the other side as well. Twilight wanted to investigate but she had other matters to attend to. Another Bug Bear was terrorizing Ponyville and she needed to help her friends fight it. Trixie used this chance to enter the portal and prepared to find the Ingots of Nightmare Moon. Before Trixie could enter the portal Spike used his dragon breath to block her way.

" Don't even think about it Trixie," Spike said with his best macho guy impression.

" How are you going to stop Trixie shrimp?" Trixie retorted as her horn began to glow.

" Like this," Spike replied as he prepared to unleash another breath of fire.

Spike took a deep breath and prepared to unleash a massive fire blast. Spike was planning to signal Twilight and the others by sending it through the window of the Library. Trixie took advantage of the charging time of Spike's attack and used her magic to drop some books on him. Just as Spike was ready to unleash his attack several dictionaries slammed him in the head and forced him to swallow all the fire he built up. Fortunately for Spike a dragon's organs were fire proof but he would still feel the burn of his fire entering his stomach. With Spike out of the way Trixie pulled a black cloak out of her saddle bag and had put it on and then entered the portal.
