Episode One, Part One: Lyra

"Goodbye, Mum!" Lyra shouted as she exited the apartment to go to her job at the department store. "Okay. Be careful," Her mother said. It took about an hour to reach her destination, where she started looking for the manager of the store she worked at. "Blueblood! Blueblood! Where is he?" Lyra asked. She reached the basement, full of pipes, mannequins, and other miscellaneous items. She heard a noise and turned around, where she saw several of the mannequins walking toward her. She screamed and tried to run, but the creatures were all around her. The terrified mare got backed into a wall. One of the mannequins raised it's hoof, about to slash it down on Lyra. But just then, a miracle occurred. A pony in a black leather jacket grabbed Lyra's foreleg. "Come with me if you want to live," The strange stallion spoke. He pulled her through the tunnels. "What were you doing here?" He asked, still galloping. "I... was... looking for... my boss... Mr. Blueblood," Lyra said, gasping for air. "Blueblood's dead. Now don't slow down!" He said. They finally got to the end and the stallion shoved the door closed. Lyra just now noticed that the pony was a unicorn, for he used magic and pulled a slender piece of metal, glowing green at the tip, out of his jacket. The metal whizzed and whirred as the glowing got brighter and the unicorn moved it along the door. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I am about to do something to save all of Equestria, and might very well die. Run, and no matter what happens, don't stop," He said, pulling a time bomb from his jacket. He closed the door and seconds later reopened it as he said, "I'm the Doctor by the way. What's your name?" "Lyra Heartstrings," Lyra answered. "Good to meet you, Lyra Heartstrings. Run," The Doctor responded, going back in the building. Lyra turned and galloped for her life. About a block away, she stopped and turned around just in time to see the department store combust. She thought, "That stallion died 'saving Equestria', but how would living mannequins end Equestria?"
