The door to the library slammed open with such force it shook the entire place. Twilight stumbled a bit as books fell around her and glared to the door. She rolled her eyes and started to focus her magic on cleaning up the mess around her. Books slowly floating up into the air and some closing.
"TWILY!" Justin yelled out, breaking her concentration again. "I found something you might want to look at."
"Justin." Twilight inhaled, a bit irritated at him. "You know what today is, correct?"
The human took a moment to look at the mess. "Library RE-organizing Day?"
"Yes." Twilight lit up a bit, then came back down. "Do you know how important today is?"
"Obviously enough for me to interrupt?" Justin beamed at the alicorn with teeth bright.
Twilight shot him a glare, he quickly retracted his smile. "Fine, it can wait."
Justin thought it was best to help Sparkle Butt with her chores and reorganized the books with her. Careful to listen to her so well, that it was almost unnatural to him. Atleast, that's what Twilight thought about it since he's been known for his outbursts at times. She did appreciate the helping hand as it took a bit longer, but it was interesting to look over at the human and see him working with his fingers.
Golden Oaks was split into halves. Twilight took one half while Justin worked on the other. It was almost like clockwork with the quiet humming Justin was doing as he climbed up and down, putting books on the shelves. She'd occasionally look over her shoulder to check on his progress only to see that he was a decent pace ahead of her.
A few hours had passed, and the library was finally done. "So, what is it you wanted to show me?"
Justin stared blankly for a moment, before it came back to him and he pulled a book out of his pants. "This!"
"How did you-"
"Dimensional rift jeans." Justin stated with no indication of obscurity.
Twilight looks a t him confused for a moment before turning her attention to the book.
"It's just a normal book. What about it?" Twilight asked, looking back to the human.
"Look closer, Sparklepants."
Twilight rolled her eyes at his comment and observed the book closer. She noted the material of the book was something leathery, polished to a shine. The cover was decorated with gears, and what looked like a clock face with no hands. Twilight leaned in closer to examine them and noticed that they were moving.
"Justin." She called quietly before taking a few steps back. "Where did you find this?"
"In my attic." He calmly stated. Flipping over the book.
"Why're the gears moving?" Twilight asked.
Justin squinted a bit as he looked at the detail. "Those weren't moving before...."
Justin started to run his fingers over the book's cover, letting them feel the cold metal of the gears. Twilight was quietly objecting the touching, but to no avail. He stopped on the clock face, feeling the numbers as though he were blind. They were branded into the metal, the face clicked from and popped up.
Twilight was soon at Justin's side as he lifted the ornament to reveal a gem in the middle of another gear. Suddenly, the other gears stopped, switching direction and rapidly increasing speed. The gem in the center of it started to glow bright.
"Drop the book..." Twilight said, wanting the pull away.
The gem only got brighter, almost blinding, the gears kept spinning.
"Justin, drop the book!" Twilight exclaimed.
The human finally dropped the book to the floor when the gem was blinding enough. As soon as the book made contact, magic burst froth from the stone and grabbed both of them. They were helpless to escape as the book pulled them into it and disappeared. Leaving the library empty with no trace of where they had gone.
