When Trouble Comes: A sequel to "Through the other Dimension"

Chapter 20: Amethyst's POV

"Come on... WHERE. IS. THAT. BOOK?!?!?!"

"SHHHHHHHHH!!!!! DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO TELL YOU TO BE QUIET IN THE LIBRARY?!?!!!?!?!!?!" The librarian once again whispered shouted at me.

"Sorry..." I apologized weakly as I went back to my search.

This morning, one of the palace guards came to my apartment, with a letter from Princess Luna. I was a bit stunned at first, but I took the letter and thanked the guard as I closed the door. That letter was still fresh in my mind, as I recalled the letter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Amethyst,
I'm sorry for the inconvenience of the palace guard at your door, but it was the only way I could deliver this letter without my sister knowing what I was up to.

Anyhow, I have some idea of how the mane eight, those humans, and you and Paper Burner can defeat Tirek once and for all, but I'll explain further once you've done a favor for me.

In order to see that my theory is correct and that it's possible, I need you to pick up a book for me. Do not be deceived by the title, but it's called "Pseudo Theories" by: Star Swirl the Bearded. I know what you maybe thinking, but I can reassure you that it's not what you think it is. Like I said, I'll explain further when we meet.

Oh, and once you've picked up the book from the library, bring Paper Burner with you 😉. He could be of some assistance.

                                           Sincerely,
                                       Princess Luna

I still couldn't figure out why she couldn't ask Lance, Destiny, or even one of the mane five (notice how I excluded Twilight) to do this. Why am I doing this exactly? So that I can at least help in some way and so I could beg forgiveness to the princesses for going through the other dimension! DUH!!!!

Precipitation covered my face, along with my crazy mane that I didn't brush this morning, and I pushed up my reading glasses as I read each spine of every book in the Canterlot Library.

I wasn't about to ask the librarian to help me find that darn book! I knew this library to and fro every detail within this library, and not to mention I knew every book in this library, I just haven't had the time to read all of them!

The title of the book pondered me deeply as I continued my search. "Pseudo Theories" by: Star Swirl the Bearded. Hmmmm... From experience, it was important to learn about the author before actually looking for the book.

Okay then... I'll start with that, but I'm most definitely gonna need help. But from who? The librarian would be predictable, but like I said, I'm not letting any librarian help me. I stiffened when I heard a voice.

"Amethyst!" Paper Burner whispered yelled as he came trotting towards me. I didn't want him to see me like this, stressed out and sweating like I just ran a 5k, especially with my reading glasses on. Yes we were coltfriend and marefriend, still, you at least had to look somewhat good-looking.

Just act natural, Amethyst, just act like your doing nothing important... Wait... Luna's letter stated Paper Burner be involved... Looks like I found help!!!!

"Paper Burner." I laughed nervously for no apparent reason. "What are you doing here at the library so early in the morning?"

"It's noon, Amethyst."

"Oh... I totally knew that!" Again I laughed nervously. "But, seriously! What are you doing here?!"

"Um... Returning and checking out a few books... What are you doing?" He looked at me worrisome and started examining me.
