Loki and I

We Are Not Friends (S1 E11)

I sigh and rest my head on my hoof, already half asleep.

These two have been at it for hours, suggesting so many freakin' books, while I've been sitting at this table with a numb butt. How and where did the pony who invented all those books get the time to finish inventing them? Or maybe books are made by fairy sprites or breezies...

"Rosie! Are you even listening?" Twilight snaps.

I jolt and look at her. "Huh... what?" I murmur.

"The history of doorknobs, have you read it?" She repeats. I blink slowly. "I'll take that as a no."

"Oh Celestia, what books have you read?" Moona asks, she's obviously fed up as she folds her arms.

I stare at her blankly. "Uh... lots! Just... I can't remember," I lie. Moona rolls her eyes. "Do we have any books from Midgard?"

"Um..." Moona replies, her eyes searching over the piles and piles of messily stacked books taken from their shelves. "I... don't know."

"Aha!" Twilight exclaims, grabbing a book with her magic and levitating it high in the air like it's a prize or something.

"What?" I inquire, raising myself with my front hooves on the table. "What is it?"

"I've found a Midgardian book!" She squees.

"Gimme that!" I yell, leaping up and tackling Twilight to the ground.

"Hey! What gives?" Twilight grunts as I grab the book with my teeth and hold her down on her tummy.

Moona leans forward, putting a hoof to her lips. "Sh!" She hushes as the librarian gives us a glare.

I give her an 'IDGAF' look and continue to wrestle Twilight for the book. Once I yank the book from her, I spring up into the air, flapping my wings frantically and making a beeline for the door. However, Moona rushes in front of the doors, blocking me from freedom. Twilight tries to flap her wings, but she can't get high enough, only able to hover just above the ground.

My eyes dart around the room until I get an idea. "Say, is that minecraft on that PC?" I say, pointing to the left.

Moona's eyes light up. "Where?" She inquires, dashing off in the direction I pointed to. Twilight face hoofs as I lean forward, folding my wings and falling out the door, skidding on the smooth floor. I hear Twilight's hoof steps coming up from behind. That and Moona yelling, "Hey! There's no Minecraft in Equestria!"

I gallop off, Twilight and Moona hot on my heels. Or... whatever my heels are called. Wait, I don't have heels.

I flap my wings, helping me to go faster so it's more like smooth leaping than running. I make many twists and turns in the corridors, but somehow, the two alicorns manage to corner me at a dead end. My teeth chatter, making the book wobble in my mouth. Twilight suddenly lashes out, grabbing the spine of the book in her teeth and yanking at it. I step forward in surprise, not letting go. I stand my ground and pull back. "Give it back," I grunt through my teeth.

"No, you give it back," Twilight replies, jerking her head back.

"No, you!" I shout, doing the same.

Moona goes up behind Twilight, grabbing her tail and pulling in an attempt to help her friend. "GIVE US THE DAMN BOOK!" She screeches. I flatten my ears and wince.

A smirk grows on Twilight's face. Her horn glows, her magic surrounding the book and whipping it out from me. I make a noise in shock and face plant on the ground, mumbling "Hmmnoiri..."

"Hashtag teamwork!" Moona exclaims triumphantly, holding me back with her magic when I try to lunge forward to grab the book. She and Twilight give each other a high five and trot away victoriously. "Now let's go play some minecraft."
