	Chapter 
Somepony's Coming To Town

It was a normal day in Ponyville. The leaves were rustling in the wind Rainbow Dash trailed behind her as she practiced different stunts. Pinkie Pie was her usual self as she jumped everywhere chasing balloons and collecting streamers for her next big party.  Fluttershy was in her cottage feeding her animals there lunch and checking up on the sick and wounded critters, singing beautifully to them as she went along.  Applejack was bucking apples with Big Macintosh as Applebloom and the other two Cutie Mark Crusaders were out to see if any of their cutie marks was being an explorer.  Rarity was trying to find out what else she could design for Photo Finish, and Princess Twilight Sparkle, as usual, was reading books in her library.  Spike was in his bed because it was Saturday and he had worked very hard all week and Twilight thought he deserved a long nap. 
As she came to the end of a chapter she put down the book and broom and went to see if she had gotten any word from Pinkie if there was another party to go to.  Before Twilight reached the door, she could hear the sound of Spike’s feet coming down the stairs.  
“Good morning sunshine.” Twilight said jokingly as she turned toward Spike. 
“Not so much.” answered Spike, “I was in the middle of a dream that I was surrounded in mountains of rubies and diamonds,” he sighed, “and then Princess Celestia sent you a letter.” he said as he handed her the sealed letter. “I’m going back to bed.”  She took the letter and he started to walk back up the stairs.  The letter said this;

Dear Princess Twilight, 
I would like to inform you that the famous author Beanie Writer and her friend Musical Doodle are coming to visit a family member in Ponyville.  I am sure you are aware that are only fillies so I do hope you see to it that they are well cared for on their trip from Manehattan. They will be coming to Ponyville in four days and will be visiting for two weeks. They have nowhere to stay so I am hoping you will find them a temporary home while they stay.


Princess Celestia
“Spike,” said Twilight just as he reached the stairs, “you know where everything in this library is.  Where is the biography on Beanie Writer?”  
Without turning around Spike answered “second shelf, middle of the wall, right side of the wall. The statue is staring right at it.”  He headed back up the stairs.
“Thanks Spike.” Twilight answered.  
Twilight found the book and started reading up on her.  Of course she had read pretty much every book in the library she hadn’t read this book in so long she almost didn’t remember the name Beanie Writer.  As she read farther into the book, she found a lot of interesting things.  She found out that Beanie Writer is a unicorn filly who lives far away from her friends in Fillydelphia and she currently lives in Manehattan. She learned Beanie Writer was a blank flank and a big fan of the Ponytones.  She also learned that she is the youngest writer in the history of Equestria. 
“Well I know they will love it here.” Twilight said, “For one thing, they’ll have friends. The Cutie Mark Crusaders will be thrilled that there are two more blank flank in town, even if it is just for two weeks.  And, because I know Pinkie Pie I know she will have another party while Beanie Writer is here.  Later today I’ll ask Pinkie if she can invite the Ponytones to sing at her next party, seeing that Beanie Writer and her friend are both big fans of the Ponytones.  Also I could probably teach her a few spells.  There are a few that I’ve been dying to use!  
“Wait, four days! I have to finish cleaning up the library, I have to pick up a cake for Spike’s surprise party, get Pinkie Pie to help set up decorations, since I now obviously can’t do it myself, I need to work a little more on my flying with Rainbow Dash, and babysit Fluttershy’s animals for two hours while she practices the Ponytones’ new song! I don’t know if I can do all that and still be able to meet Beanie Writer and her friend at the train station!  SPIKE!” Twilight yelled as she galloped up the stairs, “We need to go to Sugarcube Corner right away.”
