DO NOT READ THIS: KEPT ONLY FOR INSPECTION

Twilight went in first, to warn Rarity I guess. Then she beckoned us inside. We had to duck a bit, but not too much. We were actually about the same height, ponies and humans that is.

“Well aren’t you the most darling thing? Twilight made it sound like you would be hideous monsters or something of the sort” said Rarity when we entered.

“Figures” said Price, annoyed.

“Hey. Rarity really does have a British accent!” I said, and she did.

“Did you just insult me?” asked Rarity. She sounded hurt.

“No, i-it’s a way of speaking from where I come from.”

“Oh, okay then.”

“Like, Applejack has a Southern accent. And Bon-Bon has a Valley accent” I explained as Rarity measured us.

“Yecch. Bon-Bon” said Twilight and Rarity in unison.

“What’s wrong with Bon-Bon?”

“She always just comes to my store when there’s a sale and buys the cheapest item.  Cheapskate” explains Rarity

“She comes to the library and read books but never checks any books out, just sits and reads them while talking to that Lyra Heartstrings character” added Twilight

“Hey, I always liked Lyra” said Harry

“Me too” I seconded.

“Me third” agreed Price.

“Big sister, what’s going on?” asked Sweetie Belle “I have tons of homework and-- what in the world are those?”

“Yeesh!” said Harry with a hand up to his ear “The voice cracks are two times as annoying in real life”

“Eh! Be nice” me and Sweetie Belle said in unison.

“You learn to deal with it” said Rarity halfheartedly, paying attention to the fabric.

Spike entered the room now.

“Princess Celestia will be here at three” he explained “The town meeting will be at five”

“We got 2 hours to kill” said Harry

“I know! Let’s go to Sugarcube Corner!” said Price.

“You can go; I’m going to the library. So many, many books! I just have to find one I can read!” I said

“I wanna see Rainbow Dash! I wanna make my life 20% cooler!” said Harry

“No one… I mean no pony is going to get that joke.” I retorted

“Then I’ll make it getable, later.”

“Be back here in an hour! Your clothes will be done by then!” nagged Rarity

“Damn, she’s fast!” I said. “Wait, I ain’t a pony no more! I can cuss again!”

“Fuck yeah!” said Harry, and we all three high fived

“Again with the nonsense words” said Spike

“Well let’s go!” I said. “Wait, Twilight…” I dug thru my pocket and pulled out a hand full of golden coins “…these are yours”

“Hey” she said. “There are 24 bits here. There used to be 30.”

“I may or may not have bought food”

“Urgh. Fine. You wanted to go to the library?”

“Why yes, let’s”
