Bonbon finally was fed up with this stupid book. It was absolutely ridiculous! Tales of creatures with neck-balls with pony intelligence and no tails are something that don't even belong in the imagination of the insane. Lyra must really be losing it!
She checked the back cover, only to see that Lyra had included not only her picture but her back story and mailing address (thank Celestia they had a P.O. box, some wack-job showing up at their door is the last thing she wanted).
She got up and stretched her legs, how long had she been reading? She checked the clock and found it had been far longer than she had thought she had or meant to read. She took one last one look at the cover which depicted a blurry photograph of a distant shadow that was supposedly a famous human sighting out in the mountains somewhere.
Disgusted, she chucked the book in the trash-bin, adding several tissues over it to conceal it, she wanted to avoid hurting Lyra's feelings of course. Becoming guilty of her decision, she retrieved it, and decided to at least donate it to the library, since most of the princess's books had been incinerated by the weird pony-minotaur half-breed that had attacked Equestria last month.
She grabbed her saddlebags and stuffed the book in, not wanting to be seen in public with it. She trotted out her door and began her trek to the towns newest eyesore, rivaled only by that prissy white unicorns gaudy boutique.
As she walked she noticed a rather long line right outside of the bookstore. She figured that the newest Daring Do book had come out finally, since it had continued to be delayed repeatedly, even though she could have sworn that stupid rainbow-maned pegasus somehow managed to get her hooves on a copy months ago. She passed through the crowd easily, most ponies knew when to keep out of Bonbons way when she was having one of her moods.
As she continued she overheard a couple of pegasi flying by, "I heard she lives right here in town! And shes doing a book-signing tomorrow at the castle library! I need to..." the talk faded as they flew out of earshot. Bonbon was getting rather confused now, she hadn't heard of any famous authors living in Ponyville, and she was a big reader! She would have to go tomorrow and find out who it was, perhaps buy a copy and have it signed before reading it.
She finally came up to the over-sized tree-fort, and let herself in, after all it housed the new public library. She made her way through the barf-tastically sparkly hallway and followed the signs directing her to the library section. As she entered she found the lizard dusting the countless empty bookshelves in the room, standing at the top of a comically and dangerously tall and unsturdy looking ladder. She stood in the doorway for a moment or two waiting to be acknowledged, and when she finally ran out of patience let out an irritated "ahem."
The drake turned and saw the visitor. "Oh, uh, hi there. You need something?"
"I came to donate a book, if your accepting."
"Oh sure, just wait a sec." He clambered down the staircase to mount hooverest and scampered over to her. Bonbon dug the book out of her saddlebags and shoved it into Spikes chest.
"Wow, another one of these? Twilight ordered a whole dozen, the book is in really high demand. You sure you want to just donate it?"
"What are you talking about? The whole things a load of crap! Who would want to read this?"
"Seriously? This has become the most popular book in Equestria almost overnight. Didn't you see the line at the bookstore?"
"Just shut up and take the stupid book already."
"Fine, fine, no need to be so pushy. Do you think you can hang this sign on the front door for me on the way out?"
Spike handed her a little wooden sign from the desk next to them. Bonbon nodded in assent, it's the least she could do for forcing that garbage on their collection. When she got outside she hung the sign up on the post next to the door. She was surprised to see that it said "Copy of Lyra Heartstring's Guide to Human Culture and Biology currently available."
As a crowd of ponies walked past, heading from the bookstore which had just run out of copies of the esteemed publication, they seemed to all at once turn and notice the sign she had hung up. A collective gasp went through the mob, and they all at once rushed the library, attempting to acquire the final copy available in town. Bonbon saw the danger immediately and attempted to extricate herself from the premises as quickly as ponily possible but was trampled by a herd of brainless nitwits desperately competing for her newest bane.
