Tumultuous

“Thanks so much for coming over, Moona!”

“It is my pleasure, Twilight Sparkle. When you said you needed a little help reorganizing your library, I—Oh, moon and stars! That is ever a large mess!”

“Ehehe, yeah, um, I… got carried away…”

“Eh? ‘Carried away?’”

“Ah, yes, well, when I was a filly, I like to make book forts, you see…”

“Book forts? How delightful! No bastion of knowledge could be greater than a fort of books commanded by Twilight Sparkle!”

“Hahahaha! Oh, Moona! Well, I was feeling nostalgic, but I guess I have a ways to go with my engineering, since they all came tumbling down. And since I gave Spike the night off…”

“Indeed. Now, how shall we organize them? I would guess, for you, either by letters or by subjects.”

“Quite right. Now, normally I would have a checklist of all my books, but since I haven’t updated that in a while…”

“No, no, dear Twilight, don’t overthink this! Let us start organization by lettering… THUSLY!”

“MOONA! What are you—?”

“Moona! Stop! You’re flinging books everywh—!”

“DANCE, BOOKS! BUILD UP HIGH THE WALLS OF KNOWLEDGE, IMPREGNABLE BASTION OF WISDOM! JUMP AND DELIGHT FOR YOUR LIBRARIAN!”

“MOONA, I KID YOU NOT, IF YOU KEEP ACTING LIKE AN INTRACTABLE GOAT—!”

*creeeeeeeeeeeeeak…*

“…”

“…and those would be my shel—”

*WHAM!*

*clatch, squeee…*

“…Dash?”

“Yeah, Spike?”

“Why are Twilight and Nightmare Moon buried under a pile of books and shelving?”

“Dunno, squirt; maybe the weight of history is too much for ‘em! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!”

“AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”

“Let’s go get muffins.”

“‘kay.”
