Twilight woke up with a start, looking around trying to comprehend over the dream she had. ‘Pinkie pie did WHAT to rainbow dash?!?’ just the thought of pinkie in that dress, none the less with a hacksaw, creped her out. To clear things up she went to rainbow dash’s cloud-house. When she called for rainbow dash, a blue head and a rainbow mane popped out of the bottom of the house.
“Oh, hey twilight, what’s up?” twilight sighed with relief.
“Nothing just had a dream.”
And with that, Rainbow dash just shrugged, and went back to reading.
“Well, I am here and nothing has happened. So I guess that’s one thing off your large list that spike has to carry around.”
Twilight held back a laugh to that, even though spike wasn't there to hear sympathy to the works he does for the studious unicorn. “Well, I better go get some history books from the post office. The princess is on ton one of her spring cleanings. Plus I have to prepare for the lecture of pony history for everypony; don’t want to give some possible false information.” And with that she was off to plan and study for the lecture of pony history. Even though spike is her direct outlet to the princess and back, if a huge package was to be sent along from the princess to twilight. The results would be...bad.
She stopped by the post office to see if her package from the princess had arrived. When she entered the building she heard a mare over the other side of the counter ask.
“How may I help you?”
Twilight went to the mare’s station and asked if a package with the royal seal has arrived, to no avail. The mare asked if once it came that she should send a deliver pony to get it to her, twilight was thrilled that they had that kind of service.
“We’ll send it ASAP once it arrives. Just write on this piece of paper so we know your address.”
Twilight gave the needed information in print to the mare; she took the paper with her hooves and put it in a folder under her desk. “Have a wonderful day!” she said happily as twilight started to leave.
Back at the library, close to sundown. There was a knock on the wall? It was repeated for about 10-15 minutes while this unrelenting noise kept bombarding her tree with the knock, twilight thought it was just a wood pecker but a wood pecker wouldn't go that slow wouldn't it? Almost drove twilight to her sane-diminished mind state. When she finally decided to go check what was going on she when outside to see a Pegasus with a tan mane and a very light gray skin, knocking on one of the knots in the tree.
“Hello? Please open up, this package seems to be very important!”
Twilight would have been nicer. But due to her being was on the verge of losing all sanity.
“WHAT THE HAY ARE YOU DOING!?! THE DOOR IS TTTTHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSS KNOT, THE BIG OVAL SHAPED KNOT THAT HAS THE CANDLE ON IT!”
Now that she released that anger she thought about what she said and instantly grieved and called for the Pegasus to come back, asking apologies from the mare she scared.
“I’m sorry; I should not have said that. Come inside, I’m sure spike will let you have some of his…”
She took a minute and tried to remember what he called them.
”I can’t even remember what he called it, but what I do know that they were awesome.”
Sure enough there was a huge plate with them. When they started eating twilight seemed to not notice that there was something unusual with this Pegasus. Her eyes did not seem to act like everyponys’ eyes. Her eyes seemed to be looking at two places at once. Confused and bewildered she asked why her eyes were like the way they were. The Pegasus replied.
“My name is originally ditzy doo, but some ponies call me Derpy Hooves. What’s your name?”
Twilight could see why she was called Derpy hooves.
“My name is twilight sparkle, I am deeply sorry for the outburst that I lashed out at you, could you forgive me?”
Ditzy displayed a look of confusion
”what do you mean by apology? Do you mean the one pony with the wacky hair that yelled at me for knocking on your door lives here?”
The lavender pony just put her face in her hooves,
“Um…ditzy, that was me.”
“OOOOHHH, you’re the mean pony?”
“Yes. I am.”
She thought that ditzy was going to storm out of the library but instead she just shrugged.
After the plate was cleansed from the cookies and muffins twilight let the Pegasus go without her package.
“Well, I better get to unpacking.”
The lavender pony sighed. As abruptly as she started unpacking, was the same speed that spike slammed open the door.
“Hey twilight, how’s things going with organizing?”
“Well, I just started unpacking this package from the princess, looks like she has found a lot of old books to clean out. She seems to have had a small spring cleaning this year, or she is just giving me only a fraction of it.”
As she unpacked she noticed that there were only a few books that were new, most were old, some in old equestrian, others were just expired dictionaries. Twilight started to skim through them all just to see what they contain seeing if there was anything that would be of value for her lecture later. But when she opened one of the ancient books, all the pages just fell out as if the cover was a dam and the pages were the water. The floor was covered with pages from many other books and languages that twilight did not recognize. Picking them all up she starts noticing this, wandering what book would have such diverse language. ‘hmm, the text seems so familiar but yet I don’t recognize it...’ twilight thought to herself. 'I think I might have to postpone the lecture I was planning about equestrian history. It seems that I have other things to focus on.’
“SPIKE!!!”
Upon hearing his friend call for his assistance, he rushed down, charging through the door, gained access to where the studious unicorn was.
“Spike, I need you to cancel my lecture, I have some studying to do.” Spike looked at her dumbfounded, “Why would you do that? I mean, you have been planning this for a few months and the deadline is in less than a week.”
“I know that spike, I just found something that needs to be translated and I am determined to do so.” Twilight said confidently
“But that means that you are going to have to reschedule everything. Wouldn't you think that to be too much?”
Twilight darted a look at spike expressing ‘I will not falter from this challenge.’ which spike knew to back off now
“Okay, do what you want to do, but don’t say I didn't warn you.” Spike said under his breath as he ascended the stairs.
