        Lyra looked over at the sleeping Celestia, then back at the Guards.  They were arranged in a tight ring, eyes facing outwards, ears up, fully alert.  She smiled.  She enjoyed living in Ponyville and her long conversations with Bon Bon, oftentimes about nothing at all.  On the other hoof, sometimes it was nice to enjoy a bit of peace, and it was certainly enjoyable to be among professionals.  None of the Guards had said a single word since they had left.
