Finding a friend

After a long walk back home and a night of sleep Lyra read the Ponyville paper and saw an ad for Madam Pinkie's Fortune Tellings. Lyra recognized that name it was that pink pony with the godlike powers to ignore a knowledge and physics "Maybe she could help me." Lyra thought to herself. She stopped by sugarcube  corner ans saw Pinkie. "I know what your capable of and i need you do help me" "What are you talking about you silly filly" Pinkie replied "Ive seen you float find a helicopter of of nowhere. Do you need me to go on." "Alright what do you need" "HANDS!" said Lyra. Pinkie laughed "My powers do work like that silly, but if you need a really cool party on short notice just call me and my party cannon.". Lyra once again entered the plaza when she saw him with twilight.The most amazing cutest thing she had ever seen! He stood on his hind legs AND HAD HANDS!

Lyra ran to him and the Twilight and yelled "OH MY GOSH WHO'S THAT BUNDLE OF CUTENESS" Spike looked flattered but, twilight put her hoof in front of him encase Lyra got too carried away. "His name is S and i would Spike and i would appreciate it if you would calm down." Lyra finally did and asked if she could talk to Spike Twilight cautiously let the excited pony past.

What started out as a little conversation turned into a three hour talk about life. They had surprisingly alot in common like there disgust for pears and how they both disliked owls. then the started to talk more frequently to the point were she forgot all about hands. That is until that fateful when Twilight interrupted them to ask spike the take a note for Princess Celestia. Then Lyra remembered her quest for hands. She ran home to devise her next plan to acquire hands.

She had spent days maybe weeks looking for ways to get hands but Lyra knew deep in her heart what she had to do. She needed Spike's hands. She invited him over for tea and a diamond or two. Spike was at her house in no time but when he arrived the door was open but she couldn't find Lyra anywhere. Finally he searched the basement. But when he entered Lyra jumped from behind the door and kicked Spike in the face knocking him out.

Dream come true

Spike woke up strapped to a chair with Lyra in front of him uncontrollably grinning. Her hair was long and frizzy her coat was also frizzy and behind her the word HANDS was written all over the wall. "What are you doing Lyra? I thought we were friends." "We are spike but there's something i need from you." "Whatever you need take it just don't hurt me." cried spike. "YOUR HANDS" yelled Lyra "And how do you plan on getting them?" said spike nervously. Lyra blinked a few times and was silent "I don't know" said Lyra then Spike grinned and proclaimed he had an idea.

They went to Twilight's house a put some scrolls on there hands and hoofs. Spike blew his magic fire breath on them causing the scrolls to switch places. Giving Spike hoofs and Lyra hands she giggled uncontrollably and flailed around her newly acquired hands  and said "I'm so happy!" and cried tears of joy. And the first thing she did with her hands was play her lyra so good she earned hundreds and hundreds of bits of CD sales with her famous song hoofs like jagger.

Just a wish

It was a sunny summer day and Lyra was extra happy because she had could now *drumbroll* walk on her hind legs whenever she wanted. She had spent several days in the house practicing and falling down. but there was still something she was missing hands she needed them she knew they were he destiny. But of course there are obstacles the first being here best friend and roommate Bonbon. She would say things in hopes to get Lyra to quit her "silly" quest for hands. Why just today

Bonbon was back at it saying "Come on Lyra you've already learned to walk all funny isn't that enough." Lyra replied "No I don't think you get how important this is to me" Bonbon said "Trust me ive seen you've spent piratically spent this whole month trying to walk like that." Lyra replied "i guess you will never understand." and went back to bed.

The next day once she woke up and began to brainstorm on ways to get hands. She decided to visit the library since the heard the librarian knew alot about magic and Lyra knew next to nothing. When she got there she was greeted by a purple pony named Twilight. She told her all about her problem and asked Twilight if she had a solution. "I'm sorry but i don't think there's a spell for that."Twilight said "WHAT. Cant you just make a spell for it." Lyra replied "I dont think you get how magic works its just too much work with morphing your bones and all.".

Lyra thanked Twilight for her time and walked out the door but right as she was about to leave Twilight told her about that zebra lady that used to come and scare her every month. So Lyra went to the edge of Ponyvilleand entered. Slowly at first but after hearing some strange growling she went into a full sprint towards Zecora's Hut and slowed down. She knocked on the door and was greeted by the witch doctor. Lyra  asked about the hands potion "Hands? Sorry but theres no potion to fill your demands.". A look of disappointing  dominated Lyra's face "Sorry my sad mare sometimes life just inst fair.". Lyra walked out of the hut (on two legs of course) and kicked everything in sight for ten full minutes. Once getting all of that rage out she walked home for some rest.
