"Sure thing, Spike! Don't worry about Pinkie getting into the book. I'm on the case!"

Spike gives you a grateful nod and leaves. To your credit, you wait at least fifteen seconds before you both turn back to the book.

"I bet it has spells in it for endless candy! Or for an infinite piñata! Or for-"

"I don't know what's in there. And I promised Spike I wouldn't let you look in the book."

"Aw, just a little peek?" Pinkie sticks her bottom lip out, and you can't help but giggle.

"Are you saying that there's absolutely no way I can stop you from looking?"

"I'm not saying that! I just bet it would be neat."

You sigh and try again. She's got to pick this up eventually.

"I didn't hear that. Are you saying that no matter what I do, you're going to look at the book, so I might as well look at it with you?" You grin broadly.

"Ooooh! Yes! I am going to look at this book no matter what, Raindrops! I will find a way!" 

"Then as a responsible pony, the responsible thing to do is to look at it with you, so I can document your access even if I can't stop it. Because I am so responsible."

"That does sound responsible!" You both chuckle at yourselves and turn to the book. Carefully, you open it up to the first page.

"Amniomorphics," Pinkie reads aloud. "By Starswirl the Bearded and Raindrops. A compendium of spells designed to manipulate and create auras, especially those which create life. Hi there."

You both stare at the page for a moment.

"Pinkie?" you ask quietly.

"Yes?"

"Why is my name in the book?"

Before she can answer, writing starts to appear in the book, scrawling across the page in a delicate, cursive flow.

Your name is in the book because you have contributed so much to it, reads the writing. You are as responsible as Starswirl was for my content. Thanks!

"Wow!" Pinkie squeals. "It's a living book! How awesome is that? At least the most awesome thing that's happened today!"

Pinkie keeps talking to the book while you start to worry. How in Equestria can you be responsible for the content of this book? It's so old! You start pacing around and you're about to start chewing your hooves, which is a habit you thought you'd kicked back in kindergarten, when you hear Twilight and Spike walk up to the door. You think you've got time to close the book before they get in, if that's what you want to do. You feel a little lost.
