//------------------------------// // Back At The Library // Story: Forever Young // by MushroomCookieBear //------------------------------// After the plan was made, Twilight decided that she should go home and make sure Future AJ was OK. She walked slowly back to the library,with her saddlebag strapped tightly onto her back. The bag was holding a map,a harmonica (for some odd reason), and a book,titled: "Stalling Evil People For Dummies". Of course,these tools were going to be used to stop Vera from murdering Applejack. The thought of a killer in Ponyville made Twilight shiver uncomfortably. It made her feels as if the town were in danger, or worse. Thinking about this,she picked up the pace and started running. This got her to the library in almost 10 seconds. "Good timing,Sparkle. Good timing." She said proudly to herself. She remembered why she was here and started knocking on the door aggressively. It opened just a creak. "Y-yes?" It was Applejack. Her expression was compiled of pure distraught and fear. She was scared of something. Twilight knew it. "It's me,your friend? Twilight Sparkle?" She said, hoping Applejack would calm down. Applejack's expression lightened up immediately. "Twahlaght! It IS you! Well come on in!" The door was opened up all the way and a huge excited grin spread across Applejack's face. Twilight couldn't believe what she saw. The library was....clean! All leftover papers in a recycling bin,all dirty quills sat on a damp towel,books neatly organized,and all the dust was gone! Twilight stood in awe. Nopony had ever done this for anypony before. Especially for Twilight. A huge smile grew on Twilight's face. She jumped up and tightly hugged Applejack. "AJ..did you do this?" She smiled. "Yes." The orange farm pony replied. "I love it. Thank you so much." Twilight was so happy she couldn't see straight. She was almost on the verge of tears. Applejack's s grin faded a little bit. She pushed Twilight away. "That's good. You can stop now." She said. Spike came downstairs and saw Twilight and Applejack. A smug grin came onto his face. "Well,well,well! I see you two are happy to see eachother!" Twilight giggled. "Yes...we sure are!" "Well,Twilight...while you were me and Applejack cleaned the library. Is that OK?" "it's perfect." Twilight smiled. She grabbed Applejack and Spike,and they had a big group hug."Thank you so much". Twilight said. -- Vera walked to her house,went inside,and jumped on the couch. It was a long day. She yawned and decided to take a nap. Pinkie rose from behind the couch. "Time to make some distractions." She whispered. There was a pause. Then Pinkie started screaming while banging a frying pan with a big wooden spoon. Vera fell straight off the couch and rolled onto the floor. "Who in blazes are you?!" She angrily shouted. Pinkie Pie gave no answer. She ran out of the door screaming like an imbecile. Vera mouthed a word and got beck onto the couch and went to sleep. Pinkie Pie ran inside Sugarcube Corner and found her friends(Twilight and Applejack weren't there). "My mission.......is complete." She said firmly. She then bounced upstairs giggling. Rarity,Rainbow Dash,and Fluttershy looked at eachother in confusion. But,it was just Pinkie being Pinkie,they to theirselves. it was no big deal. "Okay,I'll start the conversation. What the heck did she do?!" Rainbow Dash yelled. Pinkie Pie zoomed downstairs. "I distracted her!" Rainbow Dash frowned. "But...that was MY job..." She said,pointing at herself. Pinkie Pie's smile faded. "Oh,I'm sorry,Dashie! I must have not heard Twilight right." "Ya think?" Rainbow Dash said flatly. Rarity stepped in. "I guess it's my turn to stall her? Whatever shall I do?" "...Make her pretty?" Fluttershy offered. Rarity paused.A huge,insane smile spread across her face. She giggled while bouncing up and down. "YES! YES! PERFECT! THANK YOU,FLUTTERSHY!!!" She ran outside. "Um....you're welcome?" Fluttershy said loudly.
