Finally, we came to a large tree. I knew it as Twilight's library. Apple Bloom knocked, and the door opened. A certain lavender unicorn stepped out and looked around, finally settling on down. She was surprised to see the CMC accompanied by three blank flank colts of unknown identity.
"Oh, hey girls. What can I do for you?"
"Our friends here came out of the bushes on the edge of the forest. They don't remember anything about why they're here."
"It's true. We all woke up in a clearing, and could tell we knew each other. Then we walked through the forest and came out here."
"Well, that is pretty odd. Tell you what, I already have three guests in your predicament staying here. While you sort things out, you can stay here."
"Thanks, miss..." I was really playing into my role as an amnesiac.
"Twilight Sparkle. You can call me Twilight, though."
"Thank you, Miss Twilight." I led Calvin and Brandon into the tree, and they were surprised to find it full to the brim with books!
"Jonah, this is your kind of place." Calvin whispered in my ear.
"It's really not. Wait until you see the bakery." I whispered back. I put a shocked look on my face to match the others.
"This is the Library. I I live and work here. It used to be just me and Spike, but a few new faces showed up and I took them in. They're out for a bit." I wondered who the other three ponies were, and if they had gone through the same HiE-ification that we had. Of course, they may just be random ponies, and have been forever. Either way, I was excited to meet them.
"You'll be staying on the fold-out couch." She tilted her head towards a couch that suddenly sprung out into a very unappealing mattress.
"We all have to sleep on that?" Calvin, or should I say Windows, disbelievingly asked.
"Well, my spare bed is taken currently. I dragged this out earlier, conveniently."
"Well, that makes enough sense."
"Now, I know this is weird, but-"
"Hey, we need as much help as we can get. It's not weird at all." I responded.
"Thanks. The other three should be back about now."
At that very moment, three stallions were standing outside that very door, each carrying a mountain of grocery bags on their backs.
"Why... did... we do... this... again?" The pegasus asked.
"Because you insisted that we help the pony that's helping us." The earth pony answered, carrying his load without an issue.
"Seriously, you've been nothing but crazy about her." The unicorn said, holding his load in the air, surrounded by a yellow aura.
The pegasus opened the door, only to find Twilight accompanied by three young colts. One, the pegasus, looked familiar to him. He couldn't put his hoof (still not used to that thing) on it. He also looked very similar to himself, as the colt had sparkling silver hair and a royal blue coat. The stallion had a coat of the same hue, but his mane was a shining gold.
"Oh, you're back! These three colts just appeared out of the Everfree. They say they can't remember anything, and they need a place to stay. Can you guys stick with you current living arrangement for a while longer? I just can't get another bed right now."
"Fine." the earth pony and unicorn sighed, and dropped their loads. (Teehee!)
"Huh-ahh" The pegasus put his groceries in the pile and walked to the colts.
"Hi, my name is Golden Sky. Yours?"
