Late Nights With Luna

It was a quiet, almost silent night in the sleepy town of Ponyville as the beautiful purple unicorn pony, Twilight Sparkle, dashed frantically around the library.  Twilight had finished reading one of her favorite novels, and had decided to clean her messy library.  With little effort, she used her powerful magical abilities to collect entire stacks of books and line them neatly on the shelves where they should be, collect feather specks that had fallen off her many quills and dump them into the garbage can, and collect scattered pieces of paper and put them neatly on Spike’s desk so that he could easily write out letters for Twilight.

Twilight was alone tonight because Spike had gone off with Applejack, Big McIntosh, and the Cutie Mark Crusaders on a three day camping trip in the forest.  Twilight had to admit that she felt somewhat lonely when Spike wasn’t around, so she decided to keep herself entertained by reading and cleaning.

Twilight was becoming immersed with her book, as she did with every other one, but she had to admit that she liked this one better; a romance novel with passionate moments.  Twilight was only about a quarter of the way through the book when she heard a booming knock on the door
