Authors note-This is my first time writing out a story, so if there are any spelling mistakes, if you could point them out that would be wonderful. Also, could you guys give me a few ideas on a ponyified name for England and Ireland thanks.

Twilight got her first library visiter of the day at precisely 9:00 AM. Twilight, being still upstairs in her room after pulling an all-nighter of studying, was not there to greet the visiter, the task falling to her young assistant Spike, who promptly forgot to tell Twilight. So that when Twilight finally awakened from her slumber, slightly dazed and cross eyed from deciphering masses of text, you couldn't really blame her for falling to extravagant conclusions such as "THIEF!" or "NINJA!" or even "SPY!". Such as the accusations were, that when Twilight eventually regained her senses (and was persuaded from using an advanced interrogation spell) She was extremly apologetic.

"I'm so sorry, I was up all night studying for an extremly important test and I completly lost track of the time, so I barely got any sleep, and when I'm deprived of sleep I tend to go a little bit crazy, ask Spike-" The purple mare paused to elicit a nod from Spike, giving her just enough time to look the visiter over. The earth pony opposite her had light grey fur, which looked a dirty white from afar. Her hair was a light brown, with two streaks running through, red and orange, similer to Twilights own pink and purple streaks, and had blue eyes coverd by sparkling square glasses. The younger pony was still shaking slightly from Twilight's.... attack. Twilight sighed. This would take some time.

The visiter was having a bad first day in her new home. She had been ecstatic to hear about the library, and how short a walk it was from her new house. Her mother had allowed her to set off, with the condition that she'd be back before 12. She had been let in by an adorable little dragon and had settled down to read and was soon lost in the story. However, in the midst of reading about the exploits of Starswirl the Bearded, she heard the most terrifying banshee shriek , and was elevated amidst a red glow, with a furious purple unicorn yelling profanities at her and calling her a thief/ninja/spy hybrid. Now, safely on the ground with a proper cup of tea clutched in her hooves("How am I even holding this anyway?!") and silly thoughts going through her head, she was tired. "And not even noon yet" the poor mare mutterd darkly.

"- And I'll swear I shall never do anything like this again!" Twilight finished, breathing deeply, her jumbled apology speech having occured while we were all busy in the previous paragraph, and taking up an exact time of 30 minutes and 59 seconds. Now that Twilight was thinking clearly, she could see that she had never seen this pony in Ponyville before. Her naturally high curiosity sparked, she asked "Um, now that I think about, we were never formally introduced. My name is Twilight Sparkle, what's your name?" The pony stared at Twilight. After making sure Twilight was suitably uncomfortable, the pony replied "My name is Green Ink. And I think I'll be leaving now." Twilight, desperate to make amends cried out "No wait, I really am sorry about this morning" seeing that this still had no reaction, resorted to desperate measures. "I'll let you borrow double the amount of library books ponies are usally allowed!" THIS had a reaction. Ears twitching, Green turned to look suspically at Twilight. "Double? And how many books would that allow me to have?" Twilight pleased to have gained a bargaining chip replied confidently "you would be allowed to take home 6 books at any time." Green smirked and said "make that 9 books" Twilights jaw dropped "9!?, but that many would disrupt the whole library system!" " 9. Besides, I'm a quick reader. I'll be back to collect the books of my choosing at 6:00 PM" Her day considerably brighter, Green Ink walked away, leaving a purple unicorn feeling like she just got a visit from the pony mafia. Spike at exactly that moment decide to walk in wearing a fedora and pinstriped suit. It was one of those days.
