The True Sequel

Starlight Shine and Gemstone had a relatively simple day, at least for the two of them it was simple. Shine's job was relatively simple as she worked for a small cafe inside of a bookstore, herself being the 'cook' though her job consisted mainly of making the coffee instead of actually cooking. Gemstone on the other hoof was one of the waitresses who took orders from the patrons of the small establishment, though in some cases it proved quite difficult, being only a couple of hooves tall.

The two were alright though, with Shine trying to pool most of her earnings towards getting into Canterlot College, and Gem keeping up house payments with her's as well as whatever else Shine could surrender. Even with the seemingly lowly jobs they kept up, and in only a couple of weeks time Starlight Shine would be able to pay for the admittance into school so she could finally get the job she'd always wanted. A magic teacher.

Gemstone tapped the small bell on the counter pulling Starlight out of her mind. “We need two coffees and a large cookie.” she said hastily.

The mare nodded, getting her mind back into the game. Grabbing two cups and putting them near the coffee pot before pouring the brown liquid into the cups with magic and dashing over to the small food heater they had, or as she liked to call it the 'Keep warm', and grabbed one of the large cookies from the bottom rack and wrapped it up as she levitated the coffee to the counter then took the cookie itself to the counter ringing the bell.

After a second one of the other workers took the order and read the card before placing the small meal in front of the two patrons who had ordered it. Shine heard Gemstone's voice from around the other side of the thin wall that separated the waiters and waitresses from the cook's area.

“Ah, welcome back Sargent Cold Cuffs, the usual?” the young dragon's voice rang out which was quickly followed by the stallion's calm voice. “Yes please, and you can just call me Cuffs, Gemstone, I've told you that enough” he said with a chuckle.

Before Gemstone had time to ring the bell and give Shine the order a large cup of decaf, a small half sandwich, and a brownie was there almost spinning from the speed. Gem gave the smiling mare a knowing look before taking the order and walking back to the patron.

Shine giggled to herself remembering the stallion's Sky blue coat, dark blue main, and aquamarine eyes. She just wanted to swoon thinking about the stallion! Once again though, a ring from the bell took her mind away, this time it being one of the other male waiters who gave her an order.

Bustling off again Shine filled the order and gave it back, her thoughts always returning to the stallion of her dreams.

Phil sat in a large pile of books, most of them closed though the one directly in front of him was open and he was staring at it intently. Though Shine had offered her library, which at first glance looked extensive, most of the books in it were magic text books, and other school books of the like. Phil was lucky enough to of found a few history and anatomy  books, almost all of them looking relatively untouched by the mare that owned them.

'Well as it seems, this 'Princess Celestia' banished her sister to the moon after an attempt to keep the world in perpetual night... Heh, kind of drastic' he thought chuckling to himself, until he read a recent addition to the book scrawled in a the bottom saying that Luna or Nightmare Moon, had returned from her banishment only to be reduced to the Princess of the Night once more with the Elements of Harmony.

'How odd, how does a horse survive on the moon?' He thought to himself before closing that book and looking back at the anatomy book he had been dreading from looking at for a while now. 'Lets hope they think nothing of it...' he thought, opening the book.

Starlight Shine found Phil laying in the middle of her bedroom floor, surrounded by different books, tongue lolled out to the side snoring when she arrived back home. A roll of her eyes and a chuckle escaped her before she nudged the stallion awake.

“C'mon now time to wake up” She said softly. Slowly Phil's eyes cracked open revealing the mare, after a few seconds of looking at her he got up shutting his mouth and wiping it with his leg. “Sorry about that, I guess I lost track of time” He said, still obviously extremely tired.

The stallion got down and grabbed one of the books in his mouth before putting it back on the shelf where he assumed he got it. Continuing this pattern until he had gotten most of the books. “Were you in here all day?” Shine finally asked an odd look on her face. The last book in his mouth, Phil obliviously opened his mouth saying “Yes” as the book fell to the floor.

Shine looked down at the blank cover and her eyes widened and she picked it up with her magic and pulled it towards herself. “Where did you get this?” she said opening it and looking through the pages for any changes. Phil, who had been bending back down to pick the book back up, stood back up “The bookshelf. I've never seen a book with a blank cover like that beyond the drawing books back home so I was wondering what was in it” He said “Never got to reading it though...”

A sigh of relief escaped the mare as she closed the book and levitated it on top of the shelf. “Well then, please just don't get into that one”

Gemstone walked to the door and looked inside “Welp, I've got dinner going, you two may want to get ready” she said looking at Phil.

The two of them nodded before Shine headed for the door. Phil started to follow, but Gem got in his way and looked at him for a moment before stepping aside with a smile on her face.

As Phil stepped by her he could of swore he saw a slight blush playing on the small dragon's cheeks, but it was probably just his imagination. 'Always see weird stuff when I wake up in the middle of the day...' he thought to himself before heading to wait at the bathroom door for Shine to finish.
