// An Angry Rant 
// Story: "What Are You Doing? Buy This Book Now!"

“Now what was I doing again?” Twilight thought. Then she remembered. She had been going to see Applejack on her farm. But it was late now. The Moon was up and nopony was on the streets. So she decided to go back home. She headed back to the well quickly to grab the rope she had used (she’d return it to Applejack in the morning) and then went home.

“Ah, time for some reading,” Twilight thought, settling down into a comfy chair in her castle’s library with her new copy of “What Are You Doing? Buy This Book Now!” by Flimmy McFlammerson. She opened the book with anticipation…only to find that it was blank. Again. Flipping through the pages until she reached page three hundred-eighty seven, she found that they were all blank. Until the “Sucker!” page. Another misprint.

Even though it was late, Twilight decided to call the publishing company again, anyway. She was very irritated to find that all of the copies of the book must be misprinted and wanted them to hear about it. “Hello?” she said.

“This is a recording,” the voice on the other end of the line said. “Please leave a message and we will return your call in the order it was received.”

“What? Hello?” Twilight said. There was a click. Irritated, Twilight left a message. “Hello, this is Twilight Sparkle. I got another copy of the book ‘What Are You Doing? Buy This Book Now!’ by Flimmy McFlammerson and it was also messed up. It wasn’t the copy you said you were going to send me. It was a copy from the bottom of a well that somepony must have lost, but I am still not happy that it was also misprinted. Did you misprint the entire print run and not even notice?!” Then she swore a few times.

Breathing hard from the exertion of her angry rant, she hung up the phone and tossed the book onto a table in the library. She was still angry, but as she calmed down a bit, she regretted having sworn on the phone message. What if they wouldn’t send her a new copy now? She might never find out what “What Are You Doing? Buy This Book Now!” by Flimmy McFlammerson was really about. After a few moments of thought, she decided that she had to go to the publishing company and erase that message before they ever heard it. But she’d need some help.
