Moondancer and Twilight were in the Everfree Forest, walking to the ruins of the Castle of the Two sisters. Twilight had decided that she should take Moondancer to the library in Celestia and Luna's old castle. Needless to say, Moondancer liked the idea.

"I can't believe your taking me to the library in the Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters! I've read about it, and it sounds amazing! I can't thank you enough!" said Moondancer enthusiastically 

"It's the least I could do for my friend." came Twilight's modest reply.

"It's just so exciting! Is it really as good as the books say it is?" asked Moondancer.

Twilight smiled. "Better."

Moondancer was excited. Very excited. She had always loved books, and here one of her best friends was taking her to what was supposed to be one of the biggest and greatest libraries in Equestria. This had to be one of the best days of her life! Could it get any better?

"Oh, and Time Turner is supposed to meet us there."

Apparently it can.





They arrived at the ruins about an hour later. Moondancer galloped up the steps excitedly and was just about to open the door with her magic when a certain earth pony opened the door and walked outside.

Straight into Moondancer.

Time Turner crashed into Moondancer, sending the both of them rolling down the stairs. When they reached the bottom of the stairs, they landed in a very intimate position. Moondancer was under Time Turner with her hooves folded in front of her. Time Turner had one hoof resting on Moondancers barrel. Their faces were inches apart, and they could each feel the others warm breath.

A very small part of both their heads noted how this was a cliche in many a book.

Twilight raised a hoof to her mouth and coughed. "Uh, guys?"

At this, both ponies seemed to realize how this must look to Twilight. Both quickly got up, blushing furiously. Moondancer pushed her glasses up with her hoof and Time Turner straitened his bow tie.

"Oh, well, um, sincerest apologies Miss Moondancer, I didn't see you," said Time Turner, stuttering slightly.

"Uh, erm, yes, of course. I'm fine," came the reply of Moondancer, stuttering as well.

"Oh, and good morning, Twilight!" greeted the Doctor.

Twilight was looking back and forth between the two of them. Were they... yes they were! The body language, the blushing, the stolen glances, it made sense!

"Do you guys like each other?" she asked.

Both Time Turner and Moondancer's blushes, which had died down somewhat after Time Turner had greeted Twilight, were renewed.

"Well, um, n-no, yes, I think, b-but, well, uhm," said the Doctor.

"Uh, What do y-you m-mean like? Define like. The word like could have multiple implications," said Moondancer.

Twilight squeed. "You do! You do like each other! Oh Celestia this is wonderful! To of my friends like each other!"

The Doctor tried to think of a way out. "Uhm, Twilight, we should probably get inside. Dangerous out here."

Twilight was beaming. "Oh, your not getting out of this one Doctor!"

There's always a way out. "Oh, I think I left something in the castle. Meet you ponies there!" He dashed back to the castle, shutting the door behind him.

Twilight's word were echoing in Moondancer's head. Like. Each other. Like each other. But she knew it was true. She liked Time Turner, really liked him. More than a friend.

Behind the doors to the castle, Time Turner was banging his head on the door, each bang accompanied with a simple "ow".

Twilight stood there, fangirling. Hard.





Twilight and Moondancer entered the castle, and together the three of them made their way to the library, with Twilight beaming and Moondancer and Time Turner trying to avoid eye contact. Eventually they made it to the doors of the library.

"Now, Moondancer, get ready for a treat." And with that she opened the doors with her magic.

Moondancer couldn't believe her eyes. Rows upon rows of shelves contained a massive amount of books. She stared at the brilliant room with her eyes wide and mouth open, glasses slipping down her nose.

"It's beautiful."

And without further ado, they galloped in, eager to learn.





Twilight looked at her two friends, Moondancer and Time Turner. They were sharing a book, each with a hoof holding one side. They looked perfect for each other.

Twilight bit her lip. She knew what she was planning to do might be a little gray on the moral scale, but she wanted her friends to be happy. Finally making a decision, her horn started to glow.

It wasn't a full on love spell. That would be much harder. No, this spell merely activated certain urges in two ponies. It gave them nudges.
Twilight was trying to nudge them into a specific action.

Moondancer and Time Turner looked up at each other's eyes.

Time Turner was enchanted. That frazzled hair. That brilliant mind. Those cute glasses. Those beautiful purple eyes. So, very purple.

Moondancer was hypnotized. That spiky hair. That genius brain. That cute bow tie. Those deep, blue eyes. So, very blue.

They leaned in closer. Part of their minds were telling them that this was not them, that somepony was amplifying their emotions. But they didn't care. Their faces were centimeters apart now, and both closed their eyes.
