Chapter 3

Paige was just walking down into the midst of Ponyville when he was drawn aside by an amazing smell. That smell was the amazing, truly attention getting scent of freshly made cupcakes.

He walked through the doors of the large building titled "Sugar-cube Corner." he took a single bit from his saddlebag and placed it onto the counter, while asking for a cupcake. He was greeted by an energetic pink pony, who after smiling and giving him his cupcake began deeply studying.

"You aren't from around here are you?" the pony asked. "Um no..., why do you ask?" replied Paige. As he confirmed his status as newcomer with the pony, she developed a grin from ear to ear. "Erm, what is so funny?". The pink pony bounced into the air shouting "That means you get a pinkie-tastic super duperific welcome party! Omygosh I LOVE parties! My name is Pinky Pie!" She then jumped into the air and bolted away, leaving a pony shaped cloud of dust in her wake.

Paige left the building after he finished his cupcake. He could see the leaves of the large library easily now, and it was just a few minutes walk away. When he arrived at the door of the library, he cleared his throat then knocked on the door.

He was greeted by a purple and green baby dragon, who rubbed sleep out of his eyes, yawned and asked him who he was. "My name is Paige Turner and I am looking for one Midnight Sparkle." he bit his lip realizing his error. The dragon called out "Twi, there is a salespony who wants to speak to you!" Paige replied "I am not a salespony, I am here to see Twilight Sparkle, and I come from Canterlot, where I was sent by Princess Luna."

The dragon jolted awake, then ran up the stairs to retrieve Twilight, now aware of the important news. Soon after the dragon peeked down from the railing, and made a hand motion for him to follow. Paige stepped into the library, immediately noticing its neatness. Maybe this pony wont be too bad?

He walked up the stairs and saw a purple and pink unicorn pony reading a book called 'Creatures not of Equestria'. Paige cleared his throat and said hello. "Nice to meet you," replied the pony. "My name is Twilight Sparkle, and I run this library, but I mostly study the magic of friendship." "Ah," replied Paige, "I do believe Princess Luna spoke of your studies."
