And then she carried me, crying, screaming, and swearing to the hospital. Where they proceeded to pump me full of pain killers so I could sit still long enough to have my leg x-rayed.
Thanks, by the way, Anna.
Hospital?! What's wrong?

Anna: Are you Lyra? Twilight said you can help me find some single mares.
I don’t know who-o you a-are… And ri-ight now I d-don’t care…
JUST GET ME TO THE FREAKING HOSPITAL!!
If she only showed Sweetie, then we can't have you bolting into the forest with no clue how to proceed. The best bet is to head straight to Zecora's cabin and see what she knows. She's the one who has the most extensive knowledge of the Forest so she could have an idea of where the cave is.
AnonymousI… can’t move…
I… can b-ba-arely t-talk… Hurts so…
No-ot fair… Sweet-tie…
She says it's Scoots old cave, want me to see if I can get through to Applebloom? Maybe she has an idea.
AnonymousScoot only ever showed Sweetie where it was…
Was it… near the Everfree Forest? How deep in was it…?
This is a fascinating line of ideas and I'd love to continue it but Sweetie Belle seems to be lost in a cave freezing half to death so I think we should all focus on getting someone out to her while you get to Mint.
AnonymousI… I don’t know where the cave is…
Would you being the Element of Deception make you Applejack's mortal enemy then?
AnonymousI don’t think so.
If I somehow embodied such a concept, to remain in harmony I’d have to use it appropriately, right?
It’s a differing tactic, and yes, it conflicts at it’s core. But only if used incorrectly. The same can be said with honesty. Even Applejack has secrets.
Yeah, in retrospect it seems lik the kid probably has some sort of emotional issue he needs to sort out, so I suppose me calling him a jerk comes off as callous, but I hope things can get sorted out. Also I was trying to think of an original Element to file you under, so I hope you can forgive the cop out one I thunk up.
AnonymousConsidering everything I’ve done in my life, the element of deception would probably work best.
And that’s not some self-loathing garbage either. We all have to lie a little, to ourselves and others, to spare their feelings, or get through the day.
It’ll never be a popular opinion, because it’s so easy to take things too far. But deception is just as important to harmony as honesty.
All things in balance.
Oh Lyra, Maybe If You Didn’t Check Your Phone So Much You Wouldn’t Fall Over So Often.
In too much of a bind to focus on a retort. Gotta make sure Sweetie is okay.
Tripped and fell. I think I twisted my ankle.
Sent Sweetie a message, haven’t got anything back.
I’m still coming… Celles this hurts…
Maybe if I can get my mind off the pain…
Lyra, can you come over to Rarity's shop and get help me get to the hospital? I was looking for Sweetie Belle, and she took off. And then I think I broke my leg. I dunno where Rarity is.
What?!
I’m out the door!
Retrogressively?
Well sure.
Turn a problem into a simple misunderstanding before it ever became a problem to begin with.
It makes more sense in practice.
The fact that you've taken Sweetie under your wing like this makes you a candidate for the Element of Caring in my book Lyra. Hopefully you can help her deal with this jerk at school, nobody should be afraid to go to school.
AnonymousI think I know how a few ways to handle this. For the most part, it sounds like a misunderstanding. Or rather, it can retrogressively become a simple misunderstanding.
But thanks. Though I think caring falls under kindness.
I think that anon is trying to say that when you posted “ This track isn’t bad either. Still sort of upbeat for a final confrontation.”, the link goes to this: http://asklyra.tumblr.com/watch?v=wSHabIYpKdE
Oh.
My bad.
Sorry, fixed now!
Thanks for letting me know, Jeff!
So.. That Sea Pony Lyra.... What are you going to do about her? She seems to have found her way to Ponyville (And once into Bon Bon's cooking pot). x.X Shouldn't release her back into the sea, where she belongs?
I’m sure in the next picture she’ll show up somewhere else just in time to drop the punchline to a joke.
