*Knock knock knock*
Twilight trotted to the front door of the library to see who was there. Upon opening the wooden door, Twilight greeted, "Good morning Pinkie Pie. How are you today?" Twilight smiled at her friend, who was apparently staring at a note card she was holding instead of at Twilight. "Pinkie Pie?"
The earth pony heard twilight and looked up. "Oh, hey Twilight! Hold on a moment." Pinkie Pie went back to looking over the note card.
Twilight waited for her friend to finish reading the note card, still awkwardly holding her grin. In this time, Twilight also realized that her friend was sporting a small white bow in her hair and had a hoof band around each of her hooves. Along with that, Pinkie Pie was carrying a wagon full of tomes that looked larger than most books Twilight had ever read.
Pinkie Pie finally put down the card and cleared her throat. "Hello Mister or Miss," Pinkie Pie began, looking everywhere except at Twilight, obviously struggling to recite whatever was written on the note card. "My name is Sister Pie and I am only asking for a moment of your time to tell you about this nifty book that details how Equestria was made."
"Excuse me, Pinkie?" Twilight interjected, baffled by Pinkie Pie's statement.
"Hold on Twilight, I'm not finished!" Pinkie thought for a second. "Okay. This book will explain to you all the wonderful facts about life that you may not not know, like where the first ponies came from, why everything in the world happens and how you can live forever." As Pinkie ranted on, Twilight's eyes continued to widen larger and larger. "If you are not able to talk, then please allow me to leave a copy of this book with you, so that you may read it sometime. What do you say? Okay Twilight, now I'm done."
After hearing all these outrageous and seemingly impossible claims by Pinkie Pie, Twilight was nearly at a loss for words. Nearly.
"Pinkie Pie, what are you talking about?" The unicorn almost had trouble forming her sentences due to all the things she wanted to say to her friend, but was finding it hard to decide on what to say first. We already know all about how Equestria was made. I know books are great, but you really can't go around town lying like this."
"But I'm not lying about anything, Twilight! I am a Cakkur," Pinkie proudly announced.
"A what?"
"A Cakkur," Pinkie re-informed the confused unicorn.
"What in Celestia's name is a Cakkur?" Twilight questioned, expecting this whole scene to be some prank Pinkie Pie was pulling.
"Well it means I'm part of this cool group of ponies that go around door-to-door and talks to everypony about this cool group of ponies that go around door-to-door to talk to ponies. I figured that since I like talking to ponies, why not join? And their name sounds like cake! Cakkur. Cake. Cakkur. Cake..."
As Pinkie Pie continued to repeat those two words, a flurry of questions was racing through Twilight Sparkle's clustered mind. From the way Pinkie talked about this group, Twilight could tell that Pinkie herself knew very little about what she had joined. "Pinkie how did you became a Cakkur?"
"Well I was just manning the counter at Sugarcube Corner when this nice stallion walked in. He wanted a cupcake and a glass of water, but since I didn't recognize him, I threw him a small Pinkie Pie bash to welcome him into town. He was so grateful that he gave me this free book and told me all about the Cakkurs. He said I would get this bow and some hoof bands if I joined, so I couldn't say no," Pinkie Pie concluded, flaunting said snow white bow in Twilight's face.
"Pinkie Pie, would you mind giving me one of those books, and one of those hoof bands you have?"
"Hooray! The first pony I go to decides to join! I must be a natural at this whole Cakkur thingy," Pinkie gleefully cheered as she removed one of her hoof bands and gave it Twilight.
"I'm not so sure about joining this group Pinkie, but thank you anyway." Twilight levitated one of the hefty books from the wagon onto her desk inside the library. Twilight examined the hoof band.
There are words circling the band. 'The Gospel of the Worshipers of the Nonfictional Being Above.'
Twilight turned her attention back at Pinkie Pie. "Pinkie, do you think you could try to find the colt who gave this stuff to you?"
"Of course I can," Pinkie exclaimed, excited to see her new friend again. "He said he was staying at the hotel near the Ponyville Day Spa."
"Great. I want you to bring him to the library tomorrow afternoon. Okay?"
"Okie dokie Loki!"
"Thank you Pinkie. Now if you don't mind, it seems I've got a full night of reading ahead of me."
As Twilight's magic glistened around the door, Pinkie Pie shouted, "No problemo!" The unicorn closed the door, and Pinkie Pie hopped off back to Sugarcube Corner.
Twilight sat in front of her reading desk, with the bulky tome waiting to reveal itself to the mare. "'The Book of Cakkur.' Forward title," Twilight mocked. Flipping the cover over to the first page, Twilight found a dictionary style definition for Cakkur.
Cakkur [keyk-awr]: noun One who believes in the existence of the one Supreme Being, who is the creator and ruler of the universe, that is not Princess Celestia.
"This book is a load of nonsense. There's no higher being that Princess Celestia!" Twilight stomped a forceful hoof on the table, already upset with the book. "Calm down Twilight. If this book is going to be feeding me information like this, then I need to keep a cool head."
Taking in a deep, relaxing breath, Twilight flipped to the next page and began reading the first section of the tome.
