By cleaning up the castle library. Dusk collects the books he could give to elementary school when he stumbles upon a private individual.
“I almost forgot about this book.” As he read it, he remembers the adventures and lessons he and his friends had learned.
Dusk understood that it was thanks to this journal that their friendship became stronger, so an idea came to him.
In the great room of the friendship table, the purple stallion had gathered his friends for a discussion.
"My prince, who is there?" Rarity asks.
“A new villain has appeared?” Rainbow said.
“No, I have more to make an announcement.” He puts the newspaper in the middle.
“The Friendship Journal!” The Mane 5 and Moony recognize the book.
“A friendship journal?” Starlight, Flare and Iris wonder what they are talking about.
“This is not an ordinary book, everyone had written a lesson in friendship that we experienced. ”Pinkie reminds them.
“Yes, but he looks in a bad state. ”Applejack said while examining the notebook.
She was right, the notebook was dusty and the pages half eaten by moths.
“For that I have a solution. He and Starlight combine their magic to cast a spell on the book.
The notebook has multiplied in several copies, each in one.
Two weeks later…
Dusk and Starlight are walking around town, Starlight welded seeing two ponies had a copy of the diary.
“Dusk did you make another copy?” Starlight questions Dusk Shine.
"No why?" She points to the two ponies on the table with their book. "How did they get one?"
The purple stallion was preparing to ask them when groups of mares were tackling Dusk.
“My prince, I want an autograph.” A yellow pegasus asks.
"Marry me!" The bluish mare wants it.
“Me, marry me instead!” The third mare asks.
The three are talking about the purple stallion. Starlight casts a teleportation spell and they land in front of a restaurant table.
The two listen to the two pony conversation.
“I really like the characters except Rarity.”
"I agree. Despite the lessons she learns, Rarity remains the same. Superficial only think of herself. ”The mare said with a mocking laugh.
The two laughed but had no idea and Rarity was at the table next to it. She runs in tears.
“Rarity!”
“Dusk goes to see Rarity. I will have two words to say to his two there. ” The mauve stallion nods.
He runs after Rarity but Pinkie jumps on Dusk Shine.
“Pinkie?”
“Dusky! This is the first time that people find me funny without even being. ”
The ponies around laughed.
"It does not bother you?" Dusk asks.
“Of course not, they laughed with me.” They laughed again.
The ponies around continue to laugh. This did not bother the pink mare.
"In that case, I'll leave you with your 'fans'." Dusk is playing on words, but no one will find him funny. “Okay, I'll check the others.”
“See you later Dusk. The ponies around laughed.
The purple stallion has gone to the store to see how Rarity is doing but he finds Rainbow Dash who has his own problem.
"Can you tell us how you met Daring Do?" A pink pegasus filly asks.
"Again? This is the sixth time that I have met you. Wouldn't you rather ... Dusk explains the true meaning of the book to you? ”She takes the stallion to the cloud to talk to the fans.
“No way, we want the coolest pony.” a pegasus boy said.
“Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow! ” All the pegasus follow the blue girl and encourage her.
“Whoever published our newspapers will pay for this! First a small meeting. ”
Dusk passes the message on to his friends. They discuss how to end this but their discussion was interrupted by the ponies who were in front of the castle because of the book.
“We want answers!” The crowd announces.
"Yeah!"
“Applejack and Pinkie are related?” A stallion asks.
“Does the character Dusk Shine deserve his title of Prince of Friendship? I have read it several times. And I have more of the impression that he makes a harem than friends. ”
"Character? We are real ponies and I don't have a harem! ”
"Who is Dusk Shine in love with?"
“Me, I shipp Dusk x Rarity.” A so-called mare.
“Me, I say Dusk x Rainbow Dash! They'll be a 100% awesome couple. ”A pegasus girl said.
“Dusk x Fluttershy!” Three earth pony said.
“Dusk x Applejack!” An Applejack fan says.
“Dusk x Pinkie!”
They fight and argue. Our heroes take refuge inside the palace.
“Now what do we do?” The farmer asks Dusk.
"Sorry AJ, I don't have the least idea.
Moony walks up to them to talk about his discovery.
"Big brother I found the person in charge. He's a pony named Edite Fiction, he works in the printing house and he's the one who sold your book."
Thanks to Moony, they learn that it's a guy named Édit Fiction who works in the printing press and has made several copies and sold all over Equestria.
Of course, the Prince of Friendship pays him a visit to dot the i's.
In the publishers building. The chief manager was calculating his wealth.
"I am rich! I am rich! This book sells like hot cakes. ”The black stallion, his trademark cutie, is an ink pot brags about his wealth.
He was about to recount his gold coins when a panicked and frightened agent entered his office.
"Authority, how many times do I say: Nobody bothers me?"
"Sorry boss but Prince Dusk Shine is here about the book."
"What!? Did the guards stop him? "
“Uh…”
When he wasn't expecting, a security guard was forcibly thrown into his office.
“Boss… run away, this filly is a monster…” He lost consciousness.
Dusk Shine, Starlight Glimmer, and Eclipse Sparkle walk into his office.
“Majesty, what surprise to see you here? Why are you putting the lock on the door? And why did I put this on? ”
"Let's talk…"
After this incident. All copies of the book were returned and banned in libraries or in public places. No more pony mentioned the book.
The Mane 5 were able to find their quiet life and resume their activities.
Édit Fiction had to close its company for an indefinite period because of unexplained injuries ...
At the castle…
"I'm glad this is all over."
"I agree with you."
"I ask how Edit managed to get a copy?"
“Are you talking about the editor Edit Fiction? I told him about the Friendship Book. ”Iris joins them.
Dusk and Starlight look at Iris with a shocked facial expression.
"What, did I do something wrong?" She asks.
