As Fluttershy awkwardly half-hobbled half-trotted out of Lyra's house, she tried to not look weird. Rarity and Pinkie Pie happened to be in town square, most likely chatting about the new imports or nice weather. "Hello dear! How was brunch?" Rarity asked. "Ooooh, yeah!" Pinkie chimed in. "Was it nice? What did you have? Waffles? Mmmm, waffles are SO yummy! Or muffins? I love muffins-" before the pink party pony could ramble on any more, she was stopped by Rarity- Pinkie's rambling was certainly one of her biggest pet peeves.

Fluttershy was dumbfounded. Would she tell them about Lyra's evil "studies"? Or lie, and tell her friends they had an amazing breakfast? "We...um...had cupcakes! They were delicious, especially with the honey and mint tea!" she lied, going with plan B. "Oh, lovely. I'm glad you had a great time!" Rarity replied, although she could sense a tone of uncertainty in Fluttershy's statement.

"I...um, have to go get a book at Twilight's place, see you later!" the pegasus said, and then flew off towards the alicorn's humble abode. As soon as she got there, it was apparent Twilight was having a cleaning day. Books of all hues and sizes were scattered about the wooden floor, along with neat stacks placed against the staircase for later inspection. The shy pegasus was greeted warmly by Twilight and Applejack, who may have been helping or browsing the large selection of books, it was hard to tell. "Hi Fluttershy! What do you need?" Twilight sang. "I'm just here to, um, get a book on something I've been interested in lately." Fluttershy replied. "What might that something be?" "Mythology. You know, legends and uh, stuff." "Well than, I have the book for you!" Twilight levitated one of the books sitting on the piles into Fluttershy's vision. The book was entitled: Legends of Equestria-part V-myths of olden Equestria. That's exactly what she wanted! As soon as the shy pegasus paid the rental fee, she was off to her own humble treehouse on the outskirts of town.
