It was a normal day in Ponyville, where our story first takes place. Or, about as normal as any Povyville day could go. The Princess of Friendship and her friends were in the Castle, restocking all of the books from the Sisters' old castle. But, onto the story we shall go/
"This is it, girls!" Twilight exclaimed. It had been an afternoon of inventory books that came in from the Princesses' old castle. Though it was long and tedious, most books were put away, others lay in piles near the corner.
"Why, Twilight, I don't mean to be rude, but that book is simply very old and dusty." Rarity lamented as she fanned out the book.
The book Rarity had taking a pint of disliking to was an old Stallion's Grimm book. "Ooh! An old book of fairy tales. I wonder if they have the classic ones I used to read!" Pinkie exclaimed.
"Ugh, weren't these princess stories? Pinkie, even I wouldn't read these." Rainbow Dash said. "Be careful with it, Pinkie, it could be magical or worse, it could tear!" Twilight said, with a hint of worry.She levitated the book up with magic. "Besides, we don't know what magic has been inside of it. It's too risky to open these until they're all checked."
"But Twilight, immersing yourself in a book is what you love to do most! Wouldn't you just like to try and read it? I mean, think about the classics Twilight! The classics.." Pinkie whispered in her ear. 'A simple fairy tail won't hurt, will it? As long as I check for magic, we can read it.' Twilight thought to herself.
"Ok, Pinkie, but first Rarity and I will have to check it for magic first." Rarity sighed, "Darling, It's a fairy tale. I'm absolutely certain there are no monsters." Fluttershy had stopped reading her Animals of The Everfree Forest: A guide and piped up. "There's still no harm in checking, who now's what trouble we could get into?" She said softly.
Applejack nodded. "Sugarcube's got a point there."
And with that being said, the spell was cast.
