Books falling from the sky, that was truly a dream land for Twilight Sparkle. She dreamt of this fact quite often and hoped that it would come to pass... Someday. In her dreams, she dreamt of thousands of ancient texts falling from the sky and she, the only one who gets to read any of them. On one particular day, however, a particular book fell from the sky. This was a text disrupt the mind of any pony if not for them not being able to understand it. This book was a historical text from a human world. I would like you, reader, to note to that I did say "a" human world. This human world was not the one she had met her parallel friends in, but a world of non-pastel like color and hard line misery at some points in history.
This particular book was meant to serve as a guideline for a new type of government. A government that, if given the right leadership, would thrive through the people and only the people. This book would show the world that the common worker can support and control his own government in some way. This book was created during a time of turmoil in a line of royal monarchy. A time of unrest in the mind of the common worker and the thinkers of that world.
This book was commonly known as the Communist Manifesto...
It came into Twilight's possession during a magic survey of the Everfree forest...
"Twilight," Spike said, "Can't we survey the magical power of this forest from the outside?" Spike was, after all, truly very scared of the Everfree forest. This was due to the fact that it had turned Twilight to stone one time.
"No, we can't Spike. The true magical power of the Everfree Forest can only be surveyed from the epicenter of the magical power."
"And where is that exactly?!" Spike did have a point. No one had ever found the reason for the magical disturbances coming from the Everfree Forest.
"Well Spike, we will just have to do our best. In the name of science!"
About at that moment, a loud thud was heard in the thicket next to them. This did not only scared to young dragon, Spike, but also the Alicorn Princess, Twilight Sparkle. A very audible yelp could be heard from the both of them.
"What was that?!" Yelled Spike. This thud was as loud as a steam engine in reality, so his fear was rather justified.
"I don't know, Spike," Twilight said in a wimperish tone, "We will have to go check it out."
So, Twilight approached the strange sound. The bush that the sound was heard from was somewhat far away. This did not help the two freinds’ courage or bravery in any way.
Once twilight got closer to the bush, she noticed something strange that was located inside of one of the thicker parts of the bush.
She then exclaimed, "I think there is a book in there!"
Spike replied with a obvious, "What?!"
"I said, it was a book that made that sound! We need to get it out of this bush and examine it!" This kind of “Book Craziness”, as Spike called it, was actualy very common for Twilight. One notable time that this “craziness” had over taken Twilight was when she had attempted to sneak smeamingly hundreds of books from the human world in to Equestria. Let’s just say there were a lot of library bills to pay.
“Couldn’t the book be dangorous?” Said Spike, “I mean, things in the Everfree never really turn out good.” Spike did have another very valid point. This well made point, however, was put to deaf ears. This added to Spike’s theory of Twilight’s “Book Craziness”.
After a couple of minutes of protesting and a few splinters, the book was pulled free. The first thing see noticed about it was that it was an absolute plain color. This was a change from the pastels of her own world. The second thing that see noticed was that the language on the cover was unknown to her. It was not a language seen by her in any other book in Eqestria. The third and final thing Twilight noticed at the time was that there were strange “human like” beings on the cover. Above that there was what appeared to be a golden hammer over a farming sickle of the same color.
“What a strange book.” Mumbled Twilight. This new book was a true mystery to Twilight. She made a mental note that she may have to do a “Super Study Session” for this mystery. ( Super study sessions can extend for days on end with no contact to the outside world. Not even to Spike.)
“Now that you got your book, can we please go home now?!” Spikes words were heard, but not processed in Twilight’s currently mystified mind.
“Sure. Sure. Let’s go.” Twilight said this in a tone of focus that was only 1/16th of the way there.
All the way back to the castle, they walked. Well, not quite. Spike basically had to drag Twilight out to the forest and down the trail until they actualy reached the inner quarters of Twilight’s castle.
It was another 10 minutes before Twilight snapped out of her dazed state and returned to reality
When she finally spoke, she said this, “You know Spike, I think I saw this language in the human world. Do you remember anything, Spike? Spike?” After this, she realized that she was talking to nothingness. After that day, Twilight made a quick mental note to always check her surroundings before talking.
After that, she waited for Spike to get back from what ever he was doing. (It turned out to be grocery shopping.) The reason for these errands was that he knew Twilight to well to not have some idea of what she may do next. Spike, in fact was preparing for one of Twilight’s “Super Study Sessions”. He figured that this one would be longer than her average 2 day study session.
After he returned, Twilight was preparing her lab for what was to come. The final words that Spike heard before she locked herself away was...
“Oh I remember! This is written in something called Russian! Russian!”

Angery Manifesto Twilight
It had been many days since the researcher Aliciron Princess Twilight Sparkle had entered her “Super Study Session”. The reason for this, a mysterious book written in a language called Russian.
Spike did not worry for Twilight for many days after she entered the room. It was on the 8th day that he began to worry. Spike attempted to open the doors, but they were locked shut. He attempted to knock, but just as he expected, there was no answer.
It was on the 10th night that Spike chose to get some help. Spike’s first thought for help was his friends, Apple Jack, Fluttershy, and the like, but before he could do anything, Celestia appeared out of nowhere.
The Sun Princesse’s appearance was disgruntled and rather fearful. It also seemed as though she had just gotten out of bed.
“Where is she?! Were is Twilight! I have felt a disterbence in the Ideology of the world!” These words were very loud and fearful to Spike. Right away, Spike pointed to the door to the Study Room.
As quick as he pointed, Celestia raced to the door and blew it away with ease. When the dust settled, Spike saw that Celestia was Standing over Twilight. When he got closer, he noticed that Twilight’s eyes were blood shot. She was staring at a book. The very same book that they had found in the forest.
*“Twilight,” Spike said, “ Are you all right?”
Suddenly, as if pulled out of a trance, Twilight looked up blinking furiously. At this, Celestia realeased her gaze from Twilight and moved a couple of steps away, still, very nervous looking.
It was a couple of minutes before anypony (or dragon) did anything. The only think that was heard was Twilight’s tired breathing.
Finally, Twilight smiled and said, “We are the enemy of the people!” Twilight said this almost drunkenly. This fact surprised Spike while it made Celestia all the more worried.
“How much did you read?” Celestia said this in a very quite voice.
“All of it, and let me tell you, we Equestrians have problems.” It was confirmed. Twilight was dead drunk.
“These guys, the Russians, they got it figured out!”
At these words, Celestia lessened her worry and seemed almost calm.
“Who are the Russians?” Asked Spike.
At this, Celestia appeared in front of him, eyes like the grave, and she said, “ You heard nothinnnnnnggggggggg.” As the ing went on, she opened a portal to what seemed to be a white room and walked right in. She took Twilight with her.
“You must never know Spiky.” Burped Twilight as the portal closed.
Spike stood there, surroundings smashed to dust.
“Well. Another day of cleaning to do. Arg”
When Spike next saw Twilight, she was in her bed. When he asked her what had happened. She could not remember.
“Hey Spike. Have we done that magic serve of the Everfree Forest yet?” At this, Spike said “Yes Twilight” and he went on with his day...
Until Twilight found the Art of War...
The End
