The Book Itself

Later that day, Twilight Sparkle and Spike were reading the book that Twilight had gotten in the mail. "Ok," Spike said, "Let's see what's this book is all about." "Then let's find out," Twilight Sparkle said and she prepared to open the book with her magic. "Oh wait, I've already done that," Twilight Sparkle said with a chuckle.

"Then continue on then," Spike said, urging her, "Please start! I want to see what's inside." "Oh, all right," Twilight Sparkle said, turning the pages to the first chapter. "Here we go," Twilight Sparkle said, "So this book is about the mysterious lands that is south of Equestria. Or maybe west or east. Weast? Who wrote that?"

"Some kind of a pony," Spike answered, trying to make a joke. "Ha, ha, Spike," Twilight Sparkle said sarcastically, "Anyway, the mysterious lands that is mentioned in this book is anything unlike any pony has ever seen in their lives." "What's that supposed to mean?" Spike asked.

"Who knows?" Twilight Sparkle said, "The creatures who lives in these lands are unlike any normal animals any pony has ever seen. Well, their lifetime, to be exact." "What?" Spike asked.

"These creatures have been thought to be long extinct," Twilight Sparkle said, "But in these lands, that's a different story."

Twilight Sparkle then showed Spike some of the pictures of the creatures, well actually, they're all artist's sketches of the creatures. "Well," Spike said, "Glad I'm not meeting any of them."

"Good Spike," Twilight Sparkle said, "This book has more than just sketches." "Ok," Spike replied, "Continue on." So Twilight Sparkle did. "Hey," Spike said, "There are a lot of interesting and mysterious things featured in this book."

"Right, Spike," Twilight Sparkle said. "Do you think we'll visit these lands?" Spike asked excitedly. "Well," Twilight Sparkle thought about it for a minute, "Maybe." "Ok," Spike replied. "But for now," Twilight Sparkle said, "Let's just enjoy our moment here." "Ok," Spike said, "Man this books is more like an encyclopedia than a story."

Hours passed and before midnight, Twilight Sparkle had finished reading her new book. "All right," Twilight Sparkle groaned, "That was an interesting book." "You've said it," Spike said. Twilight Sparkle then put the new book away with the others.

"Well," Spike said, "That was one interesting book." "Glad we've got it then," Twilight Sparkle said. "Yep," Spike said. "Anyway," Twilight Sparkle yawned, "I think it's our bedtime. Let's call it a day." "I agree," Spike said, "Well, actually, it's midnight." "I knew that," Twilight Sparkle said. And so, they both fell fast asleep.
