Twilight Sparkle looked at her books in the library, all stacked and arranged cleanly and orderly on their shelves. She smiled while she saw the shelves.
She looked around in the library. Then, she looked at the double doors which were closed.
Then, they opened.
"Starlight!" Twilight said, looking at the approaching pony. "What's going?"
"Uh, everything's OK," Starlight answered, looking at the Princess shyly. "Ponyville is not in bad condition, so I guess everything's OK."
"Hmm, what about all of Equestria?" Twilight asked. "Something must be going wrong somewhere in Equestria!"
"You're getting bored, aren't you?"
"Bored?!" Twilight exclaimed, making a surprised expression on her face. "Why, I would never be bored since I'm one of the Princesses of Equestria!"
Starlight made a stern look. "I guess you are bored."
Twilight calmed down and sighed. She paced the floor. "Well, that's the thing, Starlight. That's the fact. I'm just bored. Everything is going so well in Equestria. The ponies in Equestria are OK, the creatures outside of Equestria are OK. My friends are OK. Everything is OK!" She lifted her front hooves to the air. "There's no action! There's no problem to solve!"
"You could try, uh, looking for problems to solve," Starlight said. "You can't be that desperate, can you?"
"Well, there's the meeting with Thorax again," Twilight said. "Not much to think about! There must be this or that to talk about, this or that topic, and all the royal duties of being a Princess gets into the, well, I don't know, I'm not sure!"
"Twilight, you're panicking again," Starlight said. She approached Twilight. "You have to calm down. Try relaxing."
"I've already tried relaxing by reading a book," Twilight said. "Then, there's trying to be with your friends."
"Well, why haven't you done that, yet?"
"Maybe it's because I think I have too much on my hooves," Twilight said. "All the things that I have to do to keep everypony friendly and happy!"
"Then, why not let me take care of the castle while you just go and relax?" Starlight asked. "Chill and just go out with your friends, Twilight."
Twilight sighed. "Thank you, Starlight. I hope you don't mind me just leaving you here."
"Oh, no, I don't!" Starlight said. "I'll make sure everypony who visits this place will be happy!"
Twilight trotted out of the library.
Starlight looked around in the library. Then, she sighed. "If only I could bring somepony inside," Starlight said. "Then, this would've been great."
She went to one of the tables. Then, she looked at the many books of the library. "Maybe a little bit of relaxation is OK," Starlight said. "It's not like Twilight would get mad at me trying to calm down."
Then, she went to one of the chairs at the table. Then, she looked at the double doors. She looked at the books on their shelves.
"Then, what will I do?" Starlight asked. "Invite somepony? That means there won't be anypony here to take care of the castle, but a few minutes outside won't be bad."
Then, she went out of the library.
Starlight walked and went out of the castle.
She walked into the town and looked at the ponies who were there, talking to each other.
She went past a few buildings. She went past the boutique, she went past the bakery. Then, she stopped and looked around.
"I'm not going to be here just to wait for a pony, am I?" Starlight asked. She sighed. "Maybe I shouldn't have gone out of the library? But, how long would Twilight and her friends be out? Maybe they're going to Manehattan or some other far off place?" She sighed. Then, she looked at a few ponies who were near the bakery. "OK, the time is not yet over. I could still try!"
Then, she went to the ponies there.
The ponies who were talking stopped and looked at her, having confused looks on their faces. They looked at the ponies around them.
"Don't ignore me!" Starlight said. "I'm trying to be friendly here!"
The ponies looked at Starlight.
"Yes, you're going to be friendly to me, OK?" Starlight said. She had a stern look on her face.
The ponies looked at her.
Starlight looked at them.
The ponies looked at other ponies around them.
Starlight sighed. "Maybe I shouldn't have done that." Then, she walked away. She looked back at the ponies. Then, she looked forward and walked. She looked back at the ponies again.
The ponies looked at her with angry faces.
Starlight hurried out.
Starlight stopped. She looked around. She saw more ponies. She saw a changeling.
She approached the changeling.
The changeling was eating an apple pie.
Starlight looked at the changeling. "Hi!"
The changeling kept eating the apple pie, not noticing the pony.
Starlight sighed. She looked at the happy changeling, munching on his delicious food. "Not even the changelings want to talk to me. Or maybe it's just me. Or, it's probably just that the changeling is enjoying. Enjoying the apple pie. Which is not bad, but that doesn't mean he could just eat on without acknowledging that I'm here!"
The changeling kept eating the apple pie.
The pony placed a hoof on her chin while looking at the changeling. "But, how could he be talked to without being mad or angry? That's the thing. What does he want? Does he just want apple pie? Does he want to be left alone, or does he actually want a friend to talk to? I don't see any other changeling nearby. That could be something."
The changeling kept eating his apple pie.
"But, what am I supposed to do? Should I go to him and ask him nicely or should I go and be strong about it? Maybe not strong; they're still shy. Wait, maybe I'm not supposed to think that they're shy all the time? Shy around me? They're always trying to thank me! That's a good thing! But, what about this changeling, then? He must know that I'm here! Unless, he's enjoying the apple pie so much that he doesn't notice that I'm here!"
The changeling kept eating the apple pie, munching on it.
"Or, what if I bring another pony along with me. Maybe he will notice that there are two ponies now near him! Wait, that probably won't work. What is going to make this changeling notice me and talk to me and follow me to the library just so I won't get bored?" Starlight kept looking at the changeling.
Then, the changeling looked somewhere. He stopped eating his apple pie.
Starlight grinned. "This could be my chance!"
Then, the changeling took a step somewhere. Then, he stopped.
"Please, look at me!" Starlight said. "Just face here and talk to me and let me be the one to invite you to the library!"
The changeling noticed Starlight.
Starlight grinned.
"Starlight Glimmer!" the changeling said. "It's amazing to see you and to meet you here, Starlight!"
"Well, it is!" Starlight said. "Because, I'm going to let you into the castle!"
"Are you sure?" the changeling asked. "This is amazing!"
Starlight grinned. She looked at the castle. "Do you want to read any book from there? I could let you borrow some. You might get excited."
"I'm excited about what is inside the library!" the changeling said. "I've never been to the library before! I always liked books and I want to see what kind of books are there because my friends told me about these books and they're amazing and I just want to see what they're all about and I want to go and see those books and I want to be excited by those books and I like those books and they might be great at making me a happy changeling!"
"You must like books," Starlight said. "So, do you want to go the library now?"
"I'm ready for it!" the changeling said. The changeling smiled.
Starlight grinned.
The changeling flew.
Starlight walked.
They approached the castle.
Starlight looked at the changeling. "Do you want to be amazed?"
"I want to!" the changeling said. "Where are all the books? The books that my friends were telling me about?"
"Just wait," Starlight said. "You'll get to them. Just be patient."
Starlight opened the double doors and walked.
The changeling and the pony finally stopped at the double doors.
"This is the library," Starlight said.
Then, she opened the double doors.
The changeling looked amazed. "It's...what they've told me about!"
"Just calm down, OK?" Starlight said.
Then, the changeling calmed down.
"Now, what do you want?" Starlight asked. "What kind of book do you want?"
"Let me get out first," the changeling said.
"OK? Why?"
"Just, go with me," the changeling said. "I want to think about it first."
Then, the changeling and the pony went out of the castle.
