Books!

Twilight needed books!

She needed anything with a spine and leafs filled with words that she could read!

Friends! Ha! Who needed those when she had history books, and novels, poems, and biologies. Well, those could be her friends.

Mother said she needed sunlight every so often, but Twilight was smart. If she read enough she could get all the sunlight she wanted.

Books would help her gain knowledge then power then the only friend she’d need, besides Shiny, and book, of course, was the princess.

That’s who this was far!

For the princess!

After seeing the princess lift the sun at the Summer Sun Celebration, Twilight all but digested books now. Mastering levitation so early gave her the ability to carry many books around her all the time.

It was like she was followed by a swarm. A smart knowledgeable nice swarm that didn’t call her an egg head or a spaz or a nerd or a bookworm or a know-it-all. It wasn’t her fault he misquoted Gatespeare. And he called himself a tutor.

Books! They smelled amazing, especially the new ones. A tingle always ran through her as she bent a book back for the first time. Listening to creases of the first page opening, then down the middle, the hardcover hitting the wood table.

It was like the offering of a virgin to the high temple spirits and-

Mother had taken Ancient Tribal Customs V:II away from her.

After Twilight reached it from the high shelf her mother took it again and hid it.

Twilight kept two books under her pillow and four under her mattress corners and one in the closet in her room as well as in one in the hall. In the laundry room, the kitchen, the yard where daddy keep his tools. In Shiny’s room and the bakery down the street and in a flower bed near a taxi stop and a hollow old tree in the park.

Just in case you know.

Books were a home away from home while she was home or out in the market with her mom. She loved them, her books. Took care of them. When she was younger and more foolish she had tried to bath with them, but one doesn’t make that devastatingly tragic mistake twice.

No sir.

She could never get enough, never learn enough. There was always time to read a book, even if it meant forgoing sleep for a few days.

She loved books with a passion. She ignored those who called it an obsession. It was not. She could stop reading anytime she wanted to.

Not that she ever wanted too.

Books and Shiny, and the princess where the only things that mattered and one day Twilight would get to have them all to herself and she would live happily ever after with her best friends.

A fairy tale ending, just like her books!
