Frienship IS Magic

Prologue

    Twilight crawled into bed. The Studies of the Aniomorphic Spell. This would be a good read, even it was by a seemingly silly pen name, being A. Nonie Mouse. She cracked open the cover for the first time. As she read on and on, she slowly became entranced with the words of the secretive pony who called themselves Alexander Nonie Mouse, which even had a silly foal name in there. No matter the quality of the writing, she would always be entranced. She was so into Bookland that she didn't notice the bell ringing. When she did, she subconsciously opened up the door with a simple spell and shouted “Come in!” She heard hoofsteps and a quiet, constant muttering. “Ah, quite the charming little place, and oh, the sun on the ceiling is a nice touch, and not a bad selection at all, I do have to say” and other nonsense. She shut her book and carried it with her, slowly floating on a cushion of air. She climbed down the stairs and saw quite the familiar guest standing in the middle of her library. There was a brownish unicorn with a neatly combed blond mane, but with a loose hanging mane. He wore glasses and had a full saddlebag resting on his shoulders, which looked like that could barely support a single book, let alone a a chock-full saddlebag. She instantly recognized him. It seemed as if he did too. As he saw her, his face grew extremely red, and he started sweating at an abnormal rate. She spoke first, so as not to let him say something awkward like he usually did. “Oh hi, Liam What brings you here?” He jolted slightly and twisted his hoof a little. Just wanted to uh...” (He quickly glanced around)     “ ...see the library!” He flashed a weak grin and made a big show of checking his battered hoofwatch. “Oh dear! The uh.. appontment! Have to go! Bye!” He quickly almost galloped away and tripped with a terrific *CRASH!*. Twilight winced. Ouch. He got up, leaving behind the spectacles and a few pices of parchment. He trotted out the door. Twilight grimaced Always so awkward. She picked up the pieces and slowly read a shorthand note.

    Possible names for book:

    1. En Mapen

    2. Wry Tyr

    3. A Nonie Mouse

    4.  S. C. Ribe

Number 3 was circled. She shuffled to the next note:

    Dear Liam,

Please stop by the Library in Ponyville and borrow a copy of “The Royal Lines of the Puddinghead Family”.Also, please ask  at Sweet Apple Acres for a baker's dozen of  apple turnovers . Included is the money needed.

                                    Thankfully, Princess Celestia

Interesting. So the old colt was A. Nonie Mouse? Clever name. She would keep that in mind. She herself wrote a note:

    Here is the book you came for. Please be more careful when it comes to  Spike’s basket. That looked like a mighty fall.

                                Twi

She neatly organized all the things he had dropped plus the book and her note. She magiced them to the front doorstep and peeked out. She heard panting over near Bonbon’s place. She rolled her eyes and went back in. Several seconds later, a small clack was heard. On the doormat she saw a tiny note.

Thank You

She sighed and went upstairs. Sometimes this pony was ridiculous. As if she didn’t know he had a crush on her. It was, after all, obvious.
