This fanfic is reference to the opening scene in the fifth episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic "Griffon the Brush-Off." Look very closely at how Twilight interacts with the book, and you might see where I came to my conclusion.

Twilight's Silly Secret Hobby

By flashfox466

It was a beautiful day in Ponyville and Twilight chose to read outside today. She lay on a bench; her back warmed by the sun as she's engulfed in her favorite book. In her mind, her choice of outdoor literature was questionable today, but she figured no one would think much of it since she's always reading her books.

Before it was even noon, Twilight was already halfway through the book. She was so trapped in the moment as the characters on the page leapt to life in her mind. Just as the grand hero was going to land the great buck that would send the villain rocketing into orbit, that was when Pinkie Pie showed up.

"Hey Twilight! You'd never guess what Rainbow Dash did today!" Pinkie said, casually bouncing towards Twilight. She stopped in her tracks when she spots the book.

"Hey Pinkie." Twilight responded, not taking her eyes from the book.

"What'cha reading there?" Said Pinkie. Twilight looked up at her slightly aghast.

"Oh… um, just a science journal."

"Looks like a comic!"

"Well… Some science journals have comics in them… To illustrate the point!"

"I didn't know science journals came in hard cover!"

Twilight cringed. Sometimes Pinkie is smarter than she knows.

"What were you saying about Rainbow Dash?" Stated Twilight.

Pinkie was hit with the realization and went back to bouncing and overreacting. Twilight plants her attention back into the book.

"Oh yeah! You should've seen her! Hoof lightning action overload! She was like a sonic superstar! Flying higher, and higher! Then Rainbow Dash swooped down SWOOSH! And right before she hit the ground SHOOM she pulled up BWROOM!"

"Uh-huh" Twilight responded apathetically. She turns the page to the right and continues the adventure.

"Then she looped around and around like WOOM WOOM WOOM WOOM WOOM WOOM WOOM!" Pinkie fell over in excitement

"Uh huh"

Pinkie Pie spots something in the sky and runs off after it. Twilight sighed in relief, as she turned the page right again, and continued reading, from right to left.

As it turns out this was no ordinary book, it wasn't Equestrian in origin at all. It was a hard cover, vintage, collector's edition comic from the far distant land of Nipponi, known for their books and comics reading from Right to Left instead of the standard Left to Right of Equestria. Ponies caught reading comics from Nipponi were often branded as creepy, and Twilight had originally intended to stay clear of it, until a certain Nipponi comic caught her eye.

"One Pony," the epic tale of pirates adventuring to find the ultimate treasure! She particularly likes the ships navigator, Tsunami, with her deep and tragic past, and her tough and trickster nature. Seeing the crew take on tough enemies like the FishPony Pirates makes her giddy like a schoolgirl sometimes! Which is why she hides it from even her closest friends. She doesn't want to look creepy does she? At least that's what she assume what would happen.

"I'm really going to have to order the next collection before the day through." Said Twilight. "Gomu Gomu no… Gatling buck!"

Twilight suddenly jumped up standing and bucked wildly upwards. Realizing too late what she had done. She looked around for suspects; thankful she was alone this time. She collected up her book and ran back to the library.
