Cherry vs the Forgotten Friendship

chapter 3

Soon, everyone told the Alicorn sisters everything.

"I am not familiar with the exact spell that could've erased your friends' memories, but it sounds like Equestrian Magic is at work in your world." Celestia replied.

"Hmm... Indeed," Luna agreed while Sunset tried to stifle a giggle to her speaking. "The toilings of this nefarious enchantment could portend unimaginable catastrophe if left unchecked."

Atticus, Patch, and Cherry were even having trouble not laughing. Twilight slapped them slightly with her wing to make them stop. Luna glanced at them all oddly.

"Sorry," Sunset replied. "We're just used to hearing you say no student parking in the faculty lot."

"Well said." Patch said.

"This 'faculty lot' you speak of sounds like a place of great power." Luna replied.

The others soon giggled to that, and even Twilight giggled with them.

"The answers you seek are in the Canterlot Library." Celestia informed.

"Cool." Patch said.

They soon left the palace and went into the library of Canterlot. Of course, there were many ponies going about and reading.

"There's over a million books in here." Sunset muttered.

"I wish! But don't worry," Twilight beamed. "You're looking at somepony who knows this place like the back of her hoof."

"Of course you do." Atticus smirked playfully.

Celestia soon walked off on her own.

"Where are you going, Princess Celestia?" Atticus asked.

"To the restricted section." Celestia informed.

"There's a restricted section?" Twilight squeed out of excitement.

"Breathe, Twilight." Sunset chuckled.

Celestia and Luna came to one bookshelf and moved two books back to reveal a secret passageway.

"Cool." Patch smiled.

Twilight's jaw dropped merely in amazement. Atticus had the same reaction as Twilight. Sunset and Patch simply shut both their mouths. They soon followed the Alicorn princesses before going to doors that needed to be open.

The two used their horns and they soon walked through the doors, and where they saw what looked like thousands and thousands of books.

"Oh-my-gosh-oh-my-gosh-oh-my-gosh-oh-my-gosh-oh-my-gosh!" Twilight squeaked out after a rather prolonged gasp. "So many books all unread! Ancient historical artifacts! I just... I thought...! I can't...!"

Cherry simply smirked at Twilight's reaction.

"This is like Heaven for Twilight." Atticus smirked playfully.

"Us too when we were kids." Cherry smirked back.

They soon looked through the books to find a solution, and where it almost seemed like there wasn't a solution due to how many books they went through.

"Did you know Chancellor Puddinghead tried to pass a law mandating Earth ponies drink carrot juice at every meal?" Sunset yawned tiredly after looking through a gigantic book and closed it with her horn's magic. "I do. Know that. Now."

"Ugh! We are never going to find a solution!" Patch groaned.

"Awww, sounds like you got to read all the fun books," Twilight smiled before yawning. "We should probably take a break from looking..."
