Without a map.

Ch. 6 A day at the Libary Pt.2

After getting my delectable coffee, I finished the book on pegasi, and was drawn back to the note that I found on the door. When I saw the note again it hit me almost immediately, this was the same writing as on the note at the zebra's hut. By some stroke of luck I had found Twilight Sparkle's place of business without even tiring to. This made me happy because putting up with Carrot Top will be so much more worth it. 

I was going though the books when looking for a culture book when I heard the door open again.  Please don't be another Carrot Top. I turned on my heel to find the three newcomers had already made it up the stairs. Three little fillies wearing red capes sat at the entry way staring at me.

"Welcome to th..."

The white unicorn interrupted me. "What are you?"

I stammered for a second, "I'm the temporary librarian, is the..."

I was interrupted again by the orange pegasus, "No, she means what are you?"

I gave a halfhearted sigh then said in the best voice I could muster "I am a human. I am not a monster from the everfree forest. There is no reason to fear me in any way shape or form. Now, who are you supposed to be?"

There faces seemed to light up at that question, as they called off.

"I'm Scootaloo!"

"I'm Applebloom!"

"And I'm Sweetie bell!"

They all chimed in to say "And together we are the cutie mark crusaders!" in a ear shatteringly loud voice that beat Carrot Top, who I had hoped got lost in the back of the library and couldn't find her way back out.

I'm going to need more coffee. I feel like I should ask 'what is a cutie mark crusader but i'm afraid that they will answer. "Well, that's great now why are you here?"

"To git our cutie marks as liberryans." Applebloom spoke in a american southern accent that mutilated some words.

"Does the real librarian know about this?" I asked while trying to suppress a growing headache, with a sip of my coffee.

"Well... uh..." Sweetie Bell started.

"Of course she does." Scootaloo interrupt something these fillies were good at, but they were not good at telling lies.

I was going to make them leave but a certain orange mained mare was in my ear. "So now your turning Twilight's library into your den for foals that you have kidnapped!"

The three fillies left as soon as my sight turned to carrot top. I kept my cool and asked her "Have you made your selection?" 

"Yes, I have!" she was still yelling.

I guided her over to the desk with the sign-out papers. I grabbed my pen but before I could even start the the '3' Carrot Top had taken the pen from me and was holding it in her mouth.

"I can do it without your help, animal!"

"Careful with that," I warned, "it's not like a quill."

"If you can use it than I can too!" She shifted it in her mouth, which caused the ink to squirt out right into her main.

That's why I call it an inkwell.

She got even madder, spiting the pen at me and biting down on a quill on the desk scratching furiously on the paper with the quill, without a word. 

*CRASH*

"Well if you got that sorted out, I have a trio of fillies to deal with." I rushed of to the other room leaving Carrot Top behind.

I entered a room with rows of book shelves 50 feet high and a horse head statue made of wood in the middle, next to lay shards of a glass pot and two fillies were standing looking up at Applebloom at the top of a shelf rocking it back and forth.

I ran over and yelled "What is she doing?"

Sweetie Bell replied "She was going to get a book from the top but now she can't get down!"

As Sweetie Bell finish The book case Applebloom was on started to fall. As it did time seemed to slow again. I could see that at the angle the book case was falling it would hit the statue crushing Applebloom and hitting the others with all of the heavy books on the shelves. I could see what I had to do to save them all. Time speed up again as I rolled to pick up Sweetie Bell and Scootaloo, placing them aside from the danger. Then I dashed over to the statue kicked myself off of it to grab Applebloom hanging from a shelf and held her against my chest to protect her from the books slamming against my back. After it was done me and Applebloom crawled out from under the now toppled bookcase. The tree looked at me mesmerized.

"How did you do that, it was awesome!" Scootaloo asked in a enthusiastic tone.

I looked over my shoulder at the mess. "I don't know." I looked back at them with a blank expression and a cold voice, " But I do know that you need to leave before I tell your parents what happened here."

They all turned without a word and slowly walked out of the room with me following them, then to the stair to exit the building, I watch as they walked down the stairs and left out the door.

"Now your bullying the poor kids!" I turned to see Carrot Top staring daggers into me, "That's low even for an animal like yourself! You do know one of those poor little fillies is an orphan."

I took the seat behind the desk, "Then I have something in common with one of them." I gulped the rest of the coffee that I had left on the desk. 

She was thrown off by the comment for a second before coming up with another insult, "Even the animal's own parents didn't want him! What a shocker!"

That one stung a bit. I put my head down on the desk and closed my eyes. And she calls me the animal? "Are you done checking out your books yet?"

"Yes I am despite your best attempts to stop me!"

"Wha... Can you please just go?"

"Whose going to make me!?"

A familiar third voice came in at that point "I am!"

I looked up to see Rainbow Dash standing like she was going to charge Carrot Top with her wings flared out.

"Protecting a wild animal Rainbow? This is just pitiful! Do you miss saving ponies so bad that you'll defend a monster like this?" She talked in a rather snooty way in my opinion, but still managed to be loud.

"The only monster I see is the one making fun of somepony for not having parents!" They were glaring into each others eyes at this point.

"How dare you!?" Carrot Top punched Rainbow in the face, Rainbow stumbled backward "This is an animal and does not deserve the title of 'somepony'!"

I knew this was not going to go well, and was thinking of ways to defuse the situation but I couldn't think fast enough, as rainbow tackle her opponent, into a roll before kicking her out of the roll and into a wall. Carrot Top quickly got to her hooves and throw a nearby stool that hit rainbow in the head. Rainbow fell to her side, but I had sneaked behind Carrot Top, so I could grab her pinning her fore legs to her chest. I picked her up wen't down the stairs and throw her outside.

To make sure she didn't come back I ran back up stairs grabed her books ran back down placed them beside Carrot Top, who was rubbing her head in pain, and said "These will be due in one week unless you renew." Then I slammed the door shut and locked it.
