(May 2 continued)
Lily tore off the bottom of the last page. What if she'd looked back a page or two and seen what happened? I'm going to have to be careful to keep a very tight hold on this journal from now on.

4:30 pm
I decided I needed to go see Fluttershy. Somepony had to know about the wolves. I told her, but...it just felt weird. I couldn't bring myself to tell her the whole story. And she has to be the least judgmental pony in town.


(May 3)

7:30 am
I'm still worried about Lamplight. If he doesn't show up today, I'm going to tell somepony. I promise.

baby bamboo-Silver
bunch daffodil-Draft Ale
bunch daffodil-Craft Ale
one pink rose-Belle
hoof full of dandelions-"Cutie Mark Crusaders"
doz black dhalia-Noir
five daisy-Bulk Biceps
phlox-Weedpuller
marigold tray-Spike
wildflower seeds-Amber Glow (Why do we even stock these? They aren't wildflowers if somepony planted them!)

8:48 am
I don't know why three filles just came by to purchase dandelions. They could just pick them from somepony's lawn, which I pointed out. Never trust a group of giggling kids.

9:02 am
The Ale brothers are planning some kind of party for tomorrow night with discounts on drinks. I'm always down for half off brew. Does that make it light beer?
Wow, I sometimes impress myself with how unfunny I can be.

12:58 pm
Lamplight didn't come to the counter, he just stood across the plaza and stared. I have no idea why. Actually, I do. As soon as we made eye contact, he walked away. He wanted me to see him. I'm glad he's okay.

And hey, if he's leaving me alone, even better.

2:10 pm
Spike came by. He said something about snacks. That reminds me, I need to replace my library books. If I keep on this weird sleep schedule, I'm going to keep needing more.

6:40 pm
I think I'll go to the library a little early, before it gets dark.

8:00 pm
Well, there went that plan. I casually mentioned the wildflower seeds to Daisy and Lily. We had a conversation, and that turned to other inventory items and, well, now it's dark.

8:30 pm
Curse you Pinkie Pie and your late-night-cinnamon-roll-sale-for-no-particular-reason! Now I'm even later. Okay, I'll grant that it was a fantastic cinnamon roll.

8:45 pm
Finally made it to the library. They have new stock :D

10:00 pm
I just kind of figured they would kick me out when they closed. Princess Twilight apparently believes books are a 24-hour business.

11:15 pm
I really should get home. Maybe one more chapter.
