The eager foals were on the edges of their seats. The school day was nearing its end.

"Ok now, does everypony have their partners?" Said a somewhat weary Cheerilee.

"Yes Miss.Cheerilee!" Her small class answered happily, staring at the wall clock.

"Have a nice ev-" the kind pink mare was cut off by the wonderful sound of the school bell. The fillies and colts were out the door in a speed a certain rainbow-maned pegasus would be impressed by.

The mint unicorn filly caught up with the orange maned colt.

"Hey Mac!" Said an excited little Lyra. The young, red colt smiled at his friend. "Ready to go work on our project?" She asked.

Mac replied with a simple, "Eeyup!" The two foals walked along the path to Mac's home, Sweet Apple Acres.

As the approached the farmhouse, Mac, being the gentlecolt he was, ran ahead and opened the door for Lyra.

"Aww!" Lyra cooed, as a small brown and white puppy ran in from the backyard to meet the stranger that had come into the house.

"That's Winona!" said Mac. Winona jumped up onto Lyra.

Lyra jumped back. " Ah! Shes all muddy!" She exclaimed, as the muddy little puppy continued to jump all over the small unicorn.

"Winona! Down! Bad girl!" The red colt said sternly. The dog backed up and sat down. "Um, sorry 'bout her,"

"Oh, that's ok! A little bit of mud never hurt anypony!" Replied Lyra, happily.

Right then, a light green older pony walked in.

"Oh my! You're all muddy!  Was it Winona?" She asked with a knowing look. Lyra nodded. "Hm, would ya like to take a quick bath?"

"Yes please! Thank you Granny Smith!" Said Lyra. "Is it ok if we hold off the project for a bit?" She asked Mac. He nodded. "Ok!" she said happily, trotting down the hall to the Apple family's bathroom.

Mac heard the water turn on.
