I let out a loud grumble as I heave into the bin next to me. Twilight stood on my left rubbing my back as I continue to hurl into the bin, seeing the little food I have eaten over the past days.

"Not everypony is up for work with the Library, Speedster. Don't worry about it."

"But-" I hurl again, almost fully missing the bin this time. "Ugh... But, I er- I want to work for you." I wipe my mouth and look away from the disgusting site of what lies in the bin.

"Well, you only have one more test, and that's only re-shelving the books. Easy, right?"

"Well..."

"Excellent." Twilight gives a clap of her hooves and a nice smile before trotting away into the main library. "I will sort it out for you now."

"Great..." I take one last look in the putrid bin and instantly turn away. 'Wow, she really works ponies to the bone!' I stand up on all fours and trot out, once again wiping my mouth."So..."

Twilight's horn glows a purple lights, wrapping a mystical tether around each of the books in the library. With a loud, sharp cracking sound, each of the books are pulled to the floor, hitting each other in the process. "All right, you just have to organise each of the books in alphabetical order, and also in sets. So, a book which has a spell in it will go in the left section, and depending on which letter it begins with, you put it in a certain order. Sounds easy, yes?"

"I uh... Sure, I guess?" 'Oh sweet Celestia, I think I am going to throw up again. This work... It's too hard!'

"Okay, so if I start over here..." I mumble to myself, quickly interrupted by a cough from behind me, and a glare from Twilight's eyes looking over my shoulder, as if to say "You're doing it wrong, just stop now."

"Uh, is their a problem?"

"Oh what? Oh, of course not."

"Oh, oka-"

"Well," She starts, "If I was going to do it, then I would start over here. But, it's your test, so you do it how you want." She gives a reassuring smile and trots over to a desk, writing something down.

I turn away and look towards the same pile of books as I was before, ignoring her obvious push to make me do it the way she likes. I continue to mumble to myself, sorting through the books as I read each name out under my breath. Again, I hear a small cough from behind me. I ignore it, yet she coughs again but louder this time.

"...Yes?" I ask, letting my annoyance slip into my voice.

"Oh nothing, it's just that Spike always starts with the Tabethia in the map section, but that's fine, I guess."

"...Tabethia?"

"Yes. It's a place on the other side of Roctortis. You've heard of that, right?"

"Well, they sound familiar. Weirdly familiar that is."

"Well, keep on going, it's already been 5 minutes."

"Wait, you're timing me?"

"Well of course! Spike usually has it done in 10 minutes or less, so you best pick it up!"

"Come on, you kept distracting me!"

"6 minutes!"

"Fine!" I let out a huff and start placing the books in the shelve as quick as I can read them. A few I feel I mess up on, but I try to focus on the speed, trying not to slip up.

After a while, I feel a tap on my shoulder from Twilight. She holds a stop watch in front of me with the numbers '10:00' written on it. "Oh..." I let out, sweat dripping down my white coat, soaking it on the way. "I guess I failed then, huh?"

"Well... Not fully. You scored a 6/10, so you kind of passed, but not 'Spike' passed, sorry."

"Nah, it's fine. I guess I'll look for a job else where then."

I wipe my brow and start trotting out the door. I open it, and am immediately greeted by Rainbow Dash flapping her wings, keeping a drift in the air. I remember what happened a while ago, and blush slightly as she looks at me - But then I realize that she wasn't looking at me, but rather past me, at Twilight.

"Hey Twi, can you help me with something please?" She pushes past me and flies inside, sitting down on the couch
