"Spike, Spike! Wake up!" Twilight joyfully said while bouncing around. "It's the great day, the new Ponyville library will finally be open to public! Aren't you excited to enrich your knowledge?"

"Awh, Twilight.. Why don't we make a research on how many hours a dragon can sleep daily instead?" Spike replied, with a sleepy tone.

"Come on, Spike.. I might buy you some gems if you were ready within 5 minutes!" said Twilight.

"5 minutes? That's nothing! Brushin' my teeth and I'm ready!" quickly answered Spike.



Twilight was planning to have a very quick breakfast while Spike was getting prepared, but he was so quick that she couldn't manage to just drink a cup of fresh milk. What was worth it more, taking a 10 minutes break and have a proper full breakfast with Spike, or visiting a brand new library full of ancient enchantments, myths, prophecies and much more before anypony else?
Naturally Twilight knew perfectly that starting the day over with a delicious and healthy breakfast is always the best choice.. That's right, ponies! Without thinking twice about it, she pulled Spike up on her croup and started running as fast as she could.

While on her way to the library, Twilight barely saw Starlight Glimmer from the distance. It seemed much like she was desperately galloping to Twilight's home. Twilight's enthusiasm instantly faded away, and her cheerful inpatient expression quickly turned into a concerned frown. 

Starlight really didn't have a good shape. Her mane was almost completely messed up, she had evident eye bags and her weeped eyes would tell anypony how desperate she was. Something serious had happened.



"TWILIGHT, TWILIGHT! FINALLY!" Starlight screamed, with a heavy breathe. "Please Twily, I've gotta talk to you! It's very important!"

"..Starlight? Is that you..? You really don't have a good shape..." said Twilight, while putting her hoof on her muzzle, showing off a dubious frown.

"Twilight there is no time, please, follow me! It's about Pinkie.. we were.. having a night party, but she suddenly passed out while baking some weird variant of her cupcakes.. she won't wake up! Please, come take a look! I'm very worried!" said Starlight, with a seriously desperate tone.

"Pinkie pie has passed out.. and.. won't wake up?!" Said Twilight, while gasping. "Starlight.. is this a joke??"

"TWILIGHT, DAMN, DO YOU THINK I WOULD EVER JOKE ABOUT SOMETHING SIMILAR?? Are you being serious right now??" Screamed Starlight with anger. 

"Oh my Celestia, what am I saying.. I'm sorry Starlight, it's just that.. well.. I haven't had breakfast, so I'm not fully lucid.. I was so excited to visit the new library that I skipped it.. Spike can confirm, am I saying the truth, Spike? ..Spike?"

"zzzzz.. mh.. uh.. Oh?! Yeah Starlight, yeah! I can confirm everything Twilight has said 'till now" said Spike, while.. waking up and stretching.

"Ugh, forgive him, Starlight.. Let's not waste more time, take me to Pinkie!" said Twilight, with a concerned expression.
