The lavender unicorn stopped to think for a moment, to try and make sense of the situation.  It just seemed so odd – since when is it common to find somepony you don't remember seeking you out?  Especially to give you a stack of old, type-written papers.  The unicorn probably should have just thrown out the papers - after all, it was most likely some sort of prank.  But if it was a prank, it was a very elaborate one, and that stallion surely wasn't from Ponyville.  Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash don't really have that many connections outside of town, so it was pretty hard to believe he would be a friend of theirs, or something.  And who else would manifest a prank as elaborate as this?  And how exactly would these papers fit in with it?

Mind racing, the unicorn tried to relax, but to no avail.  Curiosity had gotten the better of her.  She surely didn't know what these papers were, but could anyone else?  Maybe Princess Celestia would know, but it seemed like too small a subject to bring up.

Hold on a second.  Why didn't she just read the papers and see if she could figure it out then?  Honestly, she had no common sense.

The unicorn examined the partially crumpled page at the top of the stack.  Nothing much, just a title page.
