“Thanks so much for coming over, Moona!”

“It is my pleasure, Twilight Sparkle. When you said you needed a little help reorganizing your library, I—Oh, moon and stars! That is ever a large mess!”

“Ehehe, yeah, um, I… got carried away…”

“Eh? ‘Carried away?’”

“Ah, yes, well, when I was a filly, I like to make book forts, you see…”

“Book forts? How delightful! No bastion of knowledge could be greater than a fort of books commanded by Twilight Sparkle!”

“Hahahaha! Oh, Moona! Well, I was feeling nostalgic, but I guess I have a ways to go with my engineering, since they all came tumbling down. And since I gave Spike the night off…”

“Indeed. Now, how shall we organize them? I would guess, for you, either by letters or by subjects.”

“Quite right. Now, normally I would have a checklist of all my books, but since I haven’t updated that in a while…”

“No, no, dear Twilight, don’t overthink this! Let us start organization by lettering… THUSLY!”

*STOMP!* *CRACKOW!* *thud-thud-thud-thud—”

“MOONA! What are you—?”

“IT IS THE CUSTOM OF THE ANCIENT PONIES TO MAKE MERRY WHILE THEY WORK! THIS IS THE ANCIENT AND MAJESTIC WORK-DANCE OF THE EARTH PONIES OF MICRO-PONIESIA! FEEL THE THUNDER OF INDUSTRY!”

*STOMP!* *CRACKOW!* *thud-thud-thud-thud—”

“Moona! Stop! You’re flinging books everywh—!”

“DANCE, BOOKS! BUILD UP HIGH THE WALLS OF KNOWLEDGE, IMPREGNABLE BASTION OF WISDOM! JUMP AND DELIGHT FOR YOUR LIBRARIAN!”

“MOONA, I KID YOU NOT, IF YOU KEEP ACTING LIKE AN INTRACTABLE GOAT—!”

“…and those would be my shel—”

“…Dash?”

“Yeah, Spike?”

“Why are Twilight and Nightmare Moon buried under a pile of books and shelving?”

“Dunno, squirt; maybe the weight of history is too much for ‘em! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!”

“AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”

“Let’s go get muffins.”
