Chapter 1

It was a dark stormy night with winds as powerful as tanks knocking against the treehouse of the ever infamous and highly regarded Princess Alicorn Twilight Sparkle.

Chapter 2

She was just laying down on her wondrous sheets and wearing her normal silk pajamas.

Chapter 3

She had reading to do, and though the book did not look interesting, Princess Celestia had assigned it so she had to read it.

Chapter 4

She opened the book and her eyes scanned the page.

Chapter 5

Page after page passed and her eyelids grew heavy as the hours sinked by.

Chapter 6

Hour after hour, page after page, the time passed unbearably slowly for the tired alicorn.

Chapter 7

She yawned and spent a moment looking down at her small, scaled assistant.

Chapter 8

He had been able to go to bed when she had wanted, only shortly after having received her book.

Chapter 9

Now she sat here, wanting to sleep but being unable.

Chapter 10

Thus she continued.

Chapter 11

On and on the book continued, reciting pointless fact after pointless fact.

Chapter 12

At least facts I have already read a hundred million times before.

Chapter 13

She sighed and turned the page.

Chapter 14

And the next page.

Chapter 15

And the next page.

Chapter 16

Suddenly, she turned the page.

Chapter 17

Twilight facebooked the book and pushed it to the side.

Chapter 18

She wanted to rest, and maybe she could afford just a moment or two.

Chapter 19

A simple few moments…

Chapter 20

Grumble.

Chapter 21

“Damnit!”

Chapter 22

Twilight immediately moved off of her bed and swiftly trotted down the stairs, each hoof resounding within the dark treehouse.

Chapter 23

Her horn glowed bright to illuminate the nice wooden furniture.

Chapter 24

She went into her kitchen and licked her lips when her eyes happened upon some cake from a party with Pinkie earlier that night.

Chapter 25

Now if only it hadn’t left me so drained.

Chapter 26

She picked it up and bit into her lip.

Chapter 27

Twilight had had so much to eat earlier that day, and this could upset the peculiar balance of her normal dietary system.

Chapter 28

She shrugged and slammed a hoof into the counter to flip the cake into the air.

Chapter 29

She opened her mouth wide, her jaw stretching to its absolute maximum and chomping down on the moist chocolate cake.

Chapter 30

Twilight shuddered in almost ecstasy as she savored the flavor.

Chapter 31

Her saliva mixed with the glorious pastry and melted it in almost a minute.

Chapter 32

More like 54 seconds, but I suppose close enough.

Chapter 33

She thanked her messy style of eating as she licked her lavender muzzle, enjoying each sweet morsel of sweet frosting.

Chapter 34

With her snack devoured, Twilight slowly trotted up the stairs.

Chapter 35

She had given herself enough of a break and now had to get back to her book.

Chapter 36

Her extremely boring, annoying, aggravating, book.

Chapter 37

She opened the book and a small pain in her head told her that her superior intellect to most was already to the point of rejecting such dreck.

Chapter 38

She shook her head furiously and continued to read, against her minds warnings.

Chapter 39

On and on she read, never ending the sheer torture she had been assigned.

Chapter 40

The horror of the book knew no rest.

Chapter 41

Well it did know rest, or perhaps not.

Chapter 42

I mean the horrors never began in the first place.

Chapter 43

It would have been so much better if it had horror.

Chapter 44

Or plot.

Chapter 45

Or anything of interest, especially seeing as I am being forced to read this!

Chapter 46

“Argh!”

Chapter 47

Spike jumped as Twilight let out her raucous and rough scream into the heavens.

Chapter 48

“Jeez Twilight, with a scream like that, you might just pierce the heavens or something.”

Chapter 49

Spike curled back up, his short tail wrapping around the small body.

Chapter 50

Unfortunately, because of his annoyance, the shovel shaped end slapped into his eye.

Chapter 51

“Ow.”

Chapter 52

“Don’t hurt yourself Spike. Only one of us should be in agony tonight.”

Chapter 53

Twilight curled herself back up tighter.

Chapter 54

She was cold at this point and the cacophony outside was driving her insane.

Chapter 55

She glared at the world outside, cursing the fact that she could not control and force the elements under her control.

Chapter 56

Yet at least.

Chapter 57

Yet.

Chapter 58

So onwards she read.

Chapter 59

Page by page by page by page.

Chapter 60

Wait.

Chapter 61

Sorry, Twilight was swatting at a lady bug that had landed on her bed.

Chapter 62

Now she continues to read page by page by page by page.

Chapter 63

She stopped as she got to the next chapter, needing to shake her head to try to clear the pain building behind her eyes.
