"I don't eat leaves." >"Don't knock it till you try it!" >"Anon, rub my belly" >"Hey Anon! Want some leaves? >"Anon, let me nibble on your ears" >"Anon! You know what time it is?" "No, Lyra. What time it i-" >"TIME FOR LEAVES!" >It started as cute, but quickly became annoying as it soon became a 24/7 ordeal >You don't know how she stays awake >Besides being tired, you were always hungry. >Leaves were out of the question and the ponies forbade you from eating their cows. >You felt uncomfortable eating meat that could talk anyway >Any other meat that existed was too dangerous for someone like you--with no hunting skills--to even attempt to conquer. >Anything except fish. >But for fish, you need bait. >You started with worms,, but the bigger the bait, the bigger the fish. >The worms here were entirely too small. >That's when you got an idea.   >"Hey, Anon! What are we doing today?" >Lyra was woken you up at 7 in the morning >Or at least she would've if you had slept >Again, how does she not sleep? >Oh, I have something very special planned for us, Lyrie >Her face widens as her eyes expand. >"Really? Where!?" "We're going fishing" >"Yay!" >You gather your supplies and head out the door, Lyra resting on your shoulder >You travel to the farthest fishing spot you know. >In addition to it being the site where the biggest fish have slipped from your grasp, it's also a place only you know. >A place where no one can hear you scream.   >You have no idea why Lyra was so excited to go fishing with you. >How does she even know what fishing is? "Hey, Lyra?" >"Nyesss?" "Do you know what fishing is?" >"Not really" "Why are you so excited then?" >"Because I'm going with you!" >Figures "Okay then" >You make it to the fishing spot and set Lyra down. >With Lyra resting on a rock, you take out and set your hook. >For a while you just sit there with her in silence >You stare at her as she eats the leaves you brought with her >She looks so content with life >She really is a nice gal, but you know what you have to do. >You need your peace.   "I think it's about time we got started." >"Yay! Are you going to show me how to fish?" "I'm afraid you can't, Lyra. You're too small" >She frowns >"Awwww! And I was so excited" >She perks up again >"But at least I can watch you!" >Lyra almost purrs as you stare at her and start to pet her. >You make sure she's a comfortable as she possibly can be. >Deciding that it's time, you make sure your line is set properly "There is something you can help me with, Lyra" >"Really!? What is it?" >You gently pick her up in your hand. >Then you plant a soft kiss on her face >You never knew caterpillars could blush >"Anon I-" >Then you stab her with the hook. >"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! ANON! WHAT IS THIS!?" "I'm Sorry Lyra, but I need my peace" >"Anon no! I can change! I won't annoy you!" "Lyra, people don't change. It's better this way. >You get into casting position >"Anon PLEASE!" "...I'm Sorry" >"Anon I just wanted to spend time with you! Don't do this! ANON! I LOV-" >You cast the reel into the water >Her words silenced, your turmoil over. >The fish was big, and you ate good that night.
