Enough of this- you've got a book, the librarian's right there, and time's a-wasting. You shove your way through the crowd, ignoring the irritated mutters, and manage to catch Twilight before she reaches the stage.
"Twilight, I found this really big old book-" you start, but she doesn't slow down.
"Good for you. I've got to deliver this speech now, so..."
"No, it's all weird! It's not my book, and when I found it-"
"Listen - what's your name?" she asks in irritation.
"Raindrops," you say. "The book had this strange-"
"Raindrops, I'll talk to you about this tomorrow, alright? Drop by the library and we'll chat." She teleports past you and starts walking up the stairs to the stage.
"It's called Amniomorphics!" you shout in frustration, and Twilight seems to freeze.
"It had this weird white glow around it when I found it," you add, and Twilight turns to face you, disbelief written across her face.
"You found a copy of Amniomorphics?" she asks in a quiet voice, and before you know it she's practically run back to you.
"Is that it? Can I look at it?" You nod as she levitates the book out of your saddlebags.
"Oh wow! It's a first edition!" she squeals. "I've always wanted to study this but the one in the Canterlot archives was in one of the really, really restricted sections! Raindrops, can I borrow this for a while?"
"Uh, sure," you say. "It's not really mine, though. I just found it on my steps."
"Well, you're still the one who found it. Raindrops, this is great! I wish I could-"
Twilight is cut off by a deliberate cough from the stage, and you both look up to see Mayor Mare waving her on. Twilight's ears fall, and she sighs as she returns the book to your saddlebags.
"You don't fancy going on for me, do you?" she asks, smiling. "Look, could I ask you to get that book to the library for me? Just leave it with Spike, and when you get back here I'll find a job for you."
