“The word..is that what those three collection of letters say?” The Unicorn asked.

“Is that why you chose those words to put on the cover?"The pony asked in return. "Love the swirling and flowing script on the front, by the way….beautiful table of contents tittles with their page numbers…perfect,just beautiful.”

“Well, most of the front of the book was torn away in the struggle, and the book binder liked how those words arranged. ” the unicorn opened it up again.“Look here! He gave it some pages in front and repaired the first page. There! I hope that’s the title of the first chapter…”he pointed to the top of the first chapter page. 

“Yes he did right…”the pony said flatly.

“.....then he decided to fancy up those other words after it putting the title above. You know, the ones he put on the cover.”the unicorn continued.

“Yes. It's very nice.”I toss the ball back to you, thought the pony.

“He signed his name at the front…as restorer”the unicorn smiled and was getting excited,bouncing a little.

“Ok…”What are you doing?

The unicorn continued“…and I hope you don’t mind, I signed my name, who I am beside.”the unicorn said trying to drop a strong hint.

“A good book is often dedicated by others…”replied the pony looking at the strange foreign letters written inside as if evaluating the books monetary worth.

“By friends!…"Big smile.Stepped back. Flourish from the ceiling to the floor with his hoof.

How was he doing that without dislocating a shoulder? The pony thought.

The unicorn introduced himself with a nod."My name is All Wishes!"he returned to the pony's side raising his hoof back to the book. "Of her magistrates regiment EUPD: Princess Cellestia. Rank: Captain. "As he tapped each foreign word."What’s yours?”

The earth pony paused and looked dumbly into the unicorns eyes.“I don’t remember…”he frowned.

“That’s good!"All wishes said patting him on the shoulder.

The pony looked at the unicorn blankly.How do they, we, moving like that?He raised an eyebrow.

The unicorn backed a little to give the pony personal space then spoke with a smile."Tis a good start! A good start indeed! A good start out to a new life!Starting off on the first page.”

Closing his eyes, the pony drew the book to himself with a sigh.
