1 When Fright Excites the Knowledgeless
Booksalot was in the middle of reorganizing the books within his library, when one of Celestia's royal guards walked up and said "Mr. Booksalot, Princess Celestia has requested an audience with you."
"Please inform her that I am busy." Booksalot told the guard not caring to look in the stallion's direction "Plus, she should know that I am typically in here working. If she wants something bad enough she can come here."
"It's um... It's actually an audience with you and Discord" the guard told the librarian who then looked down at him with his fire red eyes.
"Celestia wants to speak with me and the Draconequus? Am I right?" Booksalot asked him slowly coming down. The guard nods yes starting to get scared by the slightly elder unicorn in front of him. Booksalot then smiles at him warmly before stating "Okay then I'll be there in five minutes."
"Yes Sir" the stallion says then leaving the library quickly.
Booksalot sighs with a heavy heart thinking "Why do I scare some ponies so?" He then shrugged the thought away and went to make sure his purple mane and tail were tidy enough to stand before the Princess. Booksalot normally will get so caught up in his work that he will forget all about grooming and basic hygiene. Once he was satisfied that his appearance was up to par he then noticed his cutie mark and studied it momentarily for probably the ten thousandth time that week. "Such a strange mark an open book in a ring of fire, oh well." He thought before finally heading out to get to the audience with Celestia and Discord.
Discord had received a letter from Celestia requesting he come see her right away. Using his magic he then teleports right into Celestia's hall and smiles as he says "Good afternoon Princess!!! You're as lovely as ever"
"I don't have time for your antics Discord" Celestia tells the draconequus strictly "I actually need your help"
"My help!?" he asks curious and full of himself "Oh how wonderful" he chuckles.
Booksalot then enters the hall and bows toward the Princess. He then smiles, "You summoned me, Princess?"
"Yes I did" Celestia says with a smile at her Librarian "I actually need you and Discord to go and see about claims of a mysterious house and pony in the Everfree Forest."
"You're wanting me to be a librarian guard dog?" Discord asks in a disappointed manner
"No she wants us to work together because we are two of the smartest beings currently living in Equestria that Celestia has knowledge of"
"What are you talking about, Booksalot?" Celestia asks slightly confused at what her Librarian had just stated
"Nothing to worry your little head about" he says chuckling "Anyway, I promise to bring knowledge to the ponies of Ponyville so that their fright of the unknown will end"
Discord then laughs and says "Au revoir Celestia." Discord then picks up Booksalot and teleports them to right outside Fluttershy's cottage, leaving Celestia slightly confused and mouth open about to ask them another question.
