Oh, for crying out loud- you make one last, big effort to get her attention, shouting as much as you can.
"It's a magic book! I had a weird glow when I got found this morning! I think it's called 'Amniomorphics'!"
Twilight freezes still for a second, and looks at you carefully. Another pony tries to get her attention, and she holds up her hoof to silence him before walking over to you.
"I must have misheard you. What's the book called again?"
"Raindrops, but my name's not important. This book's called 'Amniomorphics', see? It was glowing this morning. It's weird and magic and not mine. Now could you take it off my hooves so I can get back to the weather team? The stupid thing's already cost me the good jobs."
Twilight levitates the book out of your saddlebags and takes a look at it before emitting a high-pitched squeal of joy.
"Oh my goodness, I think this is a first edition! Raindrops, have you any idea how rare this is?"
"No clue, I'm afraid. Are we done here?" you scratch at the ground, anxious to get moving. "I really need to get back to the library."
"No you don't," Twilight says, and you can hear the question in her voice. "You've already given me the book."
"Uh, yeah," you say. "I think I meant the weather team. I need to get flying!"
"That's probably what you meant to say. But it's not what you said. What's your job normally?"
"I'm a weatherpony," you say, raising your eyebrow. That question came out of left field.
"How old are you?"
"I'm twenty-four, but I don't see-"
"What are you best at?"
"Getting water out of clouds, and can we get back on-"
"What's your name?"
"Amniomorphics! Twilight, what's with the third degree here?" you ask, before realising what you just said. You can feel yourself frown. Your name is Raindrops, you remind yourself, and you have a sudden stab of worry that it was something you'd forgotten.
"I think we need to get you back to the library, Raindrops. I think the book's done something to you and I'll need to study it to find out what. I'm just going to go and hand the list to Rarity, she's probably our best bet to organise the wrap up while we work this out. I'll be right back, Raindrops." She shoots you a smile as she canters off to find her friend.
"I'm going to miss the wrap up?" you say to yourself. It feels like everypony's looking at you. The weather teams look like they're about to take off without you, and you've never felt so small.

Twilight is obviously nuts. There's nothing wrong with you, you're just having a bad morning. Maybe some honest work will clear your head. To go join the weather team, Click here for Chapter 43.
